FIVE RUNAWAYs HELD.
Small Boy Has His Innings When
Circus Comes to Town.

Who would not be small boy when
Buffalo Bill comes to the city," was
asked by a member of the police depart
ment this morning at the show grounds.
The asking of the question was prompt
ed by the arrest of five runaway boys
who had come from different places in
Pennsylvania TO follow the show on its
tour across the continent. They were
willing to join the show. but being IN
able to have their names enrolled, it is
stated. they were satisfied to enjoy the
cowboys, Indians. Japanese. Arabs and
others the same as those who paid their
80 cents or 81.
This morning the five boys were taken
in charge by the police OF the ninth pre-
cinct and their names and addresses re-
corded. Henry Smith gave his age as fif-
street, Philadelphia Hilliard Alexander
the other Philadelphia boy in the party,
is colored and seventeen years of age
His home. he said. is at $50 Mats street
Robert Jackson. another colored member
of the party of runaways. gave his ad-
dress rs 3771 Old York road, Nicetown.
Samson T. Grandville. fifteen years OF
age. gave his address as IL East Garfield
street Germantown. while Roy Chase.
nineteen years OF age, lives at LOO Bases
street. Williamsport.
When the police took charge of the boys
the latter seemed somewhat surprised.
They were we'll satisfied. however. when
they reached the police station and were
given something to eat. One of them
said the only food he had had since reach
ing this city was a baked potato. while
another said he had managed to get a
piece of bread. The others had not Jared
so well. and all were anxious to return
home. 1t is expected that some boys who
live in this city will disappear after today.
but the police think they will be glad to
return after they have been away day
or two.

PROPOSED CHANGES
IN TENNIS SERVICE

LONDON, May 19.-During the winter.
the season of enforced inaction for the
Majority of English lawn tennis tourna-
ment players, the question of making
some alteration In rule No. Z. which deals
with the method of service. has provided
topic of discussion provocative of va
ried opinions and. 1t Is feared, little
finality. At the annual meeting of the
Lawn Tennis Association. held last No
vember, S. A. F.. Hickson. who has made
this thorny subject his special care and
advocates reform with pertinacity
worthy of a better result. succeeded in
getting a committee appointed to consid-
er the whole question. This committee
went about its work in the most bust
nesslike way by getting the suggestions
for reform narrowed down to three is
sues and circularizing all the clubs anil
lated to the Lawn Tennis Association in
order to find out their views upon the
different proposals.
These proposed alterations may be
summarized as follows: No. was to re-
quire the server to keep both feet on the
service was delivered: No z, to allow the
server to raise one foot during the act Of
serving. provided such foot 10 replaced
behind the base line before II or the other
foot touches or crosses the base linz and
No. 3. to allow the server to raise one
foot during the act Of serving provided
such foot Is behind the base line at the

YOUNGER ATHLETES
MUCH INTERESTED

With the big outdoor athletic meet to
be given by the Preston University School
at American League Park Memorial dav
only two weeks away, the local schools
and colleges are getting in form for the
contests.
The Central High School had a meet
with Episcopal High School arranged for
that day. but to allow the Central men q
chance at the cup at the Preston games,
which is to be given to the school scoring
the highest number of points. Capt. Dick
and Physical Director Foley decided to
have the dual meet a few days earlier.
This means that Central will enter a full
team in the Preston games. and as the
athletes from the Seventh Street School
carried off the bulk of the honors at the
Jacob Tome Institute meet it is safe to
assert that any team that defeats the
Central boys will know that 1t had to
hustle.
The biggest attraction will be Charles
Seitz. who after much effort has been
persuaded to come down and take a
chance at the sprints. He is going Well.
and barring accidents should make SUI
perb showing. All Of the races In which
he will enter will be handicap events. ana
this will give the local lads an even brea
ciS
favorite here. and will draw many of his
friends to the meet.
Georgetown University has a squad OF
likely youngsters in training. and Win
such good men as Smith, Cohn Rice and
Martin, the Blue and Gray will be well
represented.
The Preston University School. which
is giving the meet. has about thirty boys
In training. and as 1t Is the first real
try-out of the school the results will be
awaited with much interest. There will
be boys from the school In nearly every
event, and two or three relay teams. In
the shot put Corby and John w. Thomp-
son will be entered. In the 600 or 10 -
yard run Porter and Bowers will be listed.
There will be several men in the sprints
The juniors have likely SQUAD in Nor

principle OF the ru,e which has been IN
existence for some years, with the re-
naming detail OF the rule put into more
intelligible English than has been the
also put before the affiliated clubs. sug-
costing the drastic innovation of allow
ing only one service under whatever rul
might be adopted.
AS might have been expected. the re-
plies received by the Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation committee exhibited a delightful
diversity of opinion. for a question OF TINS
kind Is just the one on which nearly
every payer has his own pet theory OF
what ought to be done Taking. how
ever. the replies In bulk II has been made
clear that players generally. conscious.
no doubt. of their own failings. will have
nothing to do with the proposal that one
service only he allowed. while. although
proposals l and have each received con-
siderable support. there Is majority of
those In favor of the third proposal. viz.
to feave the law as 1t Is. only put into
clearer language. over the combined sup
porters of the first two proposals.
The council of the Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. therefore. in considering its COM
mittee'S report. resolved to recommend
the adoption Of proposal No. 3 at the
next annual meeting of the Lawn Tennis
Association and to communicate its de-
cision to the United States Lawn Tennis
Association. with a view to obtaining
"A =
verbal alterations
In this the council has shown its pos
session OF sound common sense. for il is
in the last degree improbable. had either
of the other propositions been adopted by
the council. that the United States Lawn
Tennis Association would have been in
clined to agree with them. since any al
teration of the rule in the direction in
dicated would have gone far TO nulify
the efficacy of what has become known
as the American service. The Ameri-
cans. however. should find no difficulty
in adopting the view taken by the Lawn
Tennis Association. and therefore inter-
national differences. which might result
in disaster to the game. will almost GER
tainly be avoided.
The real difficulty. however. lies not in
the wording of the rule, but in the en-
much to say that the umpire is in a po-
sition from which II is quite impossible
for him to tell whether the rule Is being
nfringed. unless the infraction is extraor-
dinarily glaring. Where there is lines
man he can generally tell IL the rule is
broken. though until a race of linesmen
can be evolved with eyes arranged verti-
cally instead of horizontally even these
officials cannot always be certain.
Ii is In the direction. therefore. of con-
sdering how the rule, if passed at the
next annual meeting Of the lawn tennis
association. can best be enforced that the
council should direct its attention. and
with body so really representative of
lawn tennis players as the council II
should not be impossible to evolve some
method. even il II should take the dras-
tic form of directing umpires to foot
fault PLAYER unless they are satisfied
Of the absolute fairness of his delivery
to give the benefit Of the doubt, in ef-
feet to the striker-out and not to the
server.
