Sport for sports sake-its an OLD
motto but n good one. nevertheless,
! Pity it's that we see II exemplifed so
seldom. The American public takes
it's spectacular sport very seriously
these days and the financial end OF
the transaction bears all too promin-
ent a part In II. Professional base
ball has set fertile example in many
amateur sports, and all too often win
ming for the mere sake OF winning
and by any means at hands the
rule.
| But when It comes 10 real sports
manship OF the highest type, we still
have the colleges. In those branches
upon which the professional coach has
not yet exercised a powerful infu-
ence. the oldfashioned sporting ideals
still maintain.
An excellent example was Afforded
Friday by the tennis teams OF tue
Universities of Chicago and Cornell
which met on the beautiful Detroit
Athletic club field in dual combat.
Revenue played no part IN the man
agement OF the affair. The D. A. G.
donated the use OF It's courts. the ten
mis- players from both schools paid
their own expenses 10 and from the
scene OF the match; no admission was
charged at the gate the affair was
free TO all patrons OF the ancient
game.
The players had never met before
and were introduced by the chairman
OF the ID. A. c. tennis committee. AS
there was not full set OF officials
In attendance at the time OF the start
It was mutually agreed that each man
should be the Official Of his OWL

There wasn't kick on single de

Cornell easily demonstrated her 81
periority in three OF the four single
matches, none OF their Chicago rivals
taking a set. AS a rule their victories
were without great difficulty and in
terest naturally shifted from these
courts to the big match In which Ross
the Chicago captain. was battling with
White, the Cornell star.
The hrst set was a corker II went
to six games all and White won the
seventh. Ross braced and took the

! On the Detroit park when the
sparks are flying and the arbitrators
are making those significant. sweeping
motions OF the right arm that mean
Punishment for somebody, Herman is
always In the thick OF the battle. But
the dispatches from New York never
mentioned him at all.
However In the more extended re-
ports OF the battles as published In
the sporting columns of the New York
papers, Schaefers name is more prom
inent
"Coughlin and Schaefer kicked
strenuously on the decision, observes
one New York scribe. and the De-
troit captain was finally banished from
the field. Schaefer probably escaped
similar fate from the fact that he
followed his kick with a smile and Il
joke"
Rare perspicacity that Herman
was up 10 his old tricks. beefing away
as hard as any OF them but concluding
his remarks Just at the danger point
by jauntily referring TO the umpire as
a sausage or words to that effect.

HERMAN is THE DIPLOMAT OF
BASEBALL. His nimble tongue has
saved him on many occasions when
less tactful player would have got
ten In very bad. He who kicks and
gets away, lives TO kick another day
and Herman Is always true 10 his
motto.
II Is q matter Of general congratu-
lation among Schaefer's many Detroit
admirers that he seems this year TO
be playing by far his best ball.
There were some OF US who couldnt
see "Schaef" back In '05. His habit Of

Slow progress has been made the
 past two days in the Wright case,
 though yesterday afternoon the at-
 torneys for the contestants, the
 mother and sister of Weldon E.
 Wright, began to move more rapid
 ly with their witnesses. Today
 quite a few witnesses have been
 placed on the stand, all to testify
 as to the condition of Wright from
 boyhood until the time of his death.
 The gathering of the I5o witnesses
 in the case is like reunion of the
 St. John College, which was oper-
 ated here in the early 7o's, as many
 of the witnesses who attended
 school with Weldon Wright in
 those days have not been in the city since until called here for the trial. All the witnesses for the plaintiffs who are trying to break
 the will by which Weldon Wright left city property valued at Soooo to Judge R. J. Lea, presiding judge over the circuit court, his first cou- sin and executor of the will of his father, have testified that Weldon
 Wright was of small mental ability and the most of them were of the opinion that he did not know what he was doing when he ignored his mother and sister and willed the property to Judge Lea. Tomor- row the defense will probably be- gin the introduction of testimony, and it will also start with witnesses who were intimately acquainted with Wright from childhood. They are expected to testify to the sound deliberation of Wright when serv ing on juries, of his power to learn in school, but his failure to do more than bsorb learning through his aversion to school duties, and later, his lack of affec- tion for his mother and sister for driving him from their home. The plaintiffs deny they drove Wright from their home, claiming he left under a delusion and was not permitted to return. The case is attracting much attention on ac- count of the prominence of the litigants.

 LUNDER NEW LEASE
Company Is Organized With 2 Capital of Ten Millions to

CHIHUAHUA. Mex, Oct. 1.-The I5-year lease on the famous Palmilla
 mine of Pedro Alyarado in the Parral district was recently turned over by the equal owners, McQuarters & Shep- perd and c. A Coram, the latter of Boston, to their corporation, the Al varado Consolidated Mines Co, or ganized under the laws of Maine with Ia capitalization Of S10,0O0, 900 gold Tne control of the company is now in the hands of McQuatters & Shep- perd with Mir Coram still heavily in terested and the management still un. der Frank C. Moorehouse.
 Big plans and operations are being made for immense development and Improvement of the property and the putting upon it an 800 or 1,000-ton mill to treat the low grade ores. 9th CT improvements contemplated are to increase the pumping capacity from 500 gallons a minute to 1,500 gallons and the running of 8 1,O00-foot tunnel which would tap the ore bodies at a depth of 400 feet This tunnel would
 be a great saving in the water and ore lifts and it is probable that the great mill would be built at its mouth. II is claimed, so it is said, that above the 60O-foot level there are 100000 tons of low grade ore that show a net profit of from s to $7 per ton
 not to mention the very hign grade
 ore known to be below that level.
 The stock of the new company is divided into 100000 shares, par
 value $1O gold The following finan' cial statement is submitted: Amount

 eers expenses, $11,744; total. $5S0,125
 In order to provide for the company's debts of about S100,e00 and to pro vide funds for the development of the property, it has been voted to sell to A. J. McQuatters of Mexico, 3O0,OOo
