PETE DAILEY.S HUMOR.
auaoskness That Put tho Esss Comedian In q
Glass by Himself.

Pete Daley was noted for his impromptuS
more than any other member Of the in
formal theatrical companies In which no
played. Anything in the line Of dialogue
went in the Weber q Fields shows 10 long
as il was funny and decorous. The superb
ority Of Daley Over his associates was
shown In tho genuine humor OF what he
said compared to their efforts.
I'VE want room with the SUM- Charles

Weber burlesques.
Yes, indeed added Daley at the first
performance. the point never having sug-
gested itself to him at any OF the reheaSsals,

1T was never possible for his associates
to tell when he would come out with some
such appropriate response to their lines,
and until the play got under way they were
certain to be upset In the business OF each
scene unless, they knew Daileys peculiari-
ties. Those IN the habit Of acting with him
kept always on guard.
Il was In ono Of the recent Weber pro-
ductions that his natural wit added humor
to a scene that otherwise might have fallen
fat. The scene was at Monte Carlo and his
entrance was accompanied py INC nlhBin8
Of a male chorus outside. Anybody who
knew the actor realized how the banality
of such a device would appeal to his own
sense Of humor. He made the presence OF
that quartet behind the scenes AFFORD one
Of the heartiest laughs In the play.

It was not for professional uses that he
reserved his efforts. Sometimes his friends
got the best OF his inspirations. They were
often Of kind that would have evaporated
before their point reached the audience Of

The Minneapolis Journal gives this
pen picture of Senator Hansbrough
bidding for applause from the gal
leries:
Swelling his chest to it's utmost
expansion, the senator from North
Dakota added: I accept the chal,
lenge. I am ready to meet it. II thu
people of my state desire this mon.
opoly to control their state, they do
not want me as their representatives.
"Great! Impressive! Ajax defying
the lightning was shrimp at sum
set compared with this. 1t means
conversely, that If the people OF
North Dakota do not want the hsx.
vester trust to control their policies.
they do not want Senator Hans
brough for their representative
Hansbrough, because Of his team
work with Tom Marshall and voting
with the Insurgents at the Minot
convention, has deprived himself OF
the logical right to Stalwart votes.
G. B. Little is the only Stalwart can
didate, and he was the only senator.
ial candidate at Minot who had the
Endorsement of Republicans through.
out the state.
The Edmore Herald News notes
that the Insurgent free press bureau
is sending out ticket on which are
the names Of M. N. Johnson and
Thomas Marshall for senator with a
note "Vote for only one" The News
wonders if Marshall has been drop,
ped as the nominee of the Grand
Forks convention, and his name is
being simply used to pacify him.
Doesn't it seem more reasonable to
suppose that the scheme is to get
both the Johnson and Marshall sup
porters to vote for the rest of TIE
ticket?
Treadwell Twichell, the Insurgent
candidate for governor, roasts the
railroads in his speeches for attempts
ing to control North Dakota politics.
He didn't show much antipathy to
the railroads when he was in the last
legislature, however, for it is remem-
bered that he left the speakers chair
to openly advocate on the floor Of the
house the two and one-half cents a
mile rate and the privilege of issu,
ing passes to the members of the
legislature. This was in opposition
to bill which had come from the
Stalwart senate fixing the rate at
two cents a mile.

TO Play Tennis
Champion and Former Champion
VIII Clash at California
Club Today
BY Grant Smith

For the first time in many months a
tournament was held in the California
club courts last Sunday. and, consider
ing the difficulty the tournament COM
mittee had experienced in getting
things started, the affair proved to be
quite a success. Several efforts had
been made TO bring Off tournament.
but not until last Sunday did enough
players get together to warrant hold
Ing the event. Now that the ice has
been broken and good weather can be
expected tournaments will be played as
regularly in the club courts as In the
past.
Last Sundays tournament. which was
a class singles for the Hammond cup,
attracted fair sized entry list and the
matches in most cases were close and
interesting. Play Will be resumed to-
day. and as the poorer wielders in the
various classes have been eliminated
the remaining matches should be pro-
ductive Of good tennis.
In the championship class there Were
only four contestants, but they are the
best players in the city. Carl Gardner
became i'll during his match with Mel
Vile Long and was forced to retire
when the score was set all and 3-3.
This was most unfortunate. as GARDNER
has been playing in excellent form
the championship squad who is able to
give Champion Mclaughlin a rub. In
their last two meetings Gardner came
dangerously close to defeating Nc
Loughlin and another meeting would
have proved a drawing card.
Melville Long showed Improvements
in his match with Gardner. and those
who bear in mind his form when he
won the coast championship figure that
he has a chance against McLoughlin at
all times. Long, in consequences OF
Gardner's default, is in the finals and
will meet Mclaughlin. who beat Her
bert Long easily last Sunday
The first, third and fourth classes
have been completed, the respective
winners being Harry Rolfe, H Bur
roughs and Gustav Lisser
The second class is down to the
finals, where Arthur Chesebrough will
be opposed to e. 2. Finnigan Cheese
brough is an old timer, who has grad
ually regained his old FORM. and al
though not as spry as formerly, plays a
CRAFTY game and uses excellent head
work. Finnigan is a clever player and
has been hard man TO beat in tour
naments. He is inclined to be erratic
but II he is at his best he will make it
interesting for Chessbrough-
The winners OF the classes will meet
under handicap conditions. The han
dicaps viii be arranged and drawings
held as soon as the remaining two
matches have been disposed OF this
morning. Several of the interclass
matches will be played this afternoon
and they should be decidedly interest
ing.

The stormy weather of yesterday did
not deter the golfers from putting in
an appearance at the Ingleside links,
ready for any kind of competition of
which the tournament committee might
approve. 1t was decided that condi-
tfons were not favorable for the deeis-
ion of the championship match in the
wemans tournament. This was pest
poned until next Tuesday. when, 1t is
hoped. more settled weather will pre-
vail.
The final match in the consolation
tournament was played and was won
by Mrs. Garratt, who defeated Mrs.
Mum, up. In addition to this the
mixed foursemes We're played and re-
suited in an interesting competition.
Three of the teams were tied and they
will meet this morning to determine
the ownership of the prizes offered.
The, leading three teams are made up
of Mrs. Mum and Captain Oyster, Mrs.
Garratt and H. c. Golcher Mrs. H H
