Aerial progress in this country and

cial attention is paid TO the wright

struction and the mathematics of pro

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. Miss Hazel
Hotchlliss OF Berkeley, Cal, and Joe

cipal honors in the Pacific northwest

NEW WOMEN'S CHAMPION
IN BRITISH TENNIS GAME
Had Miss May Sutton Gone Abroad
She Would Have Met Miss D.
Boothby, Now Title Holder

NEW YORK, Aug. Had Miss May
Sutton gone to England to compete in
the tennis championships this year she
would have played some matches with
a new champion. In the annual con-
test for the supremacy of the United
Kingdom, Miss d. Boothby beat all
her rivals. The runner up was Miss
A. M. Morton, who has been prominent
in tennis in Great Britain for some
time.
The new champion has been compi-
mented freely on her style and expert
ness. She serves we'll and is not afraid
to place the ball. In the games which
were played for the title this year one
of her most deceptive maneuVers was
to lift the ball So far away from her
opponents that it dropped just within
the lines of the court at a point where
it was practically impossible to re-
turn it. Excellent placing Of the ball
had a great deal to do with her final
victory over Miss Morton.
Some effort has been made to induce
the English champion to visit the
United States and play in some of the
tournaments which are held in this
country. Perhaps ii will not be posi-
BILE this year, but in another season it
is hoped that international matches,
i'm which the women are contestants,
will be a feature of outdoor sport. If
it should happen that the English polo
players should challenge for the cup
another season it would make quite an
interesting year of international play.
Perhaps it will be possible to secure
the matches in 1911. Interest would be
added to the competition for the Davis
trophy if there wepe International
games between the woman players at
the same time.

PASADENA INTERESTED IN
PROGRESS OF AVIATION

Interest in aeronautics in Pasadena
has been renewed recently, and an
aero club will probably be formed in
that city in the near future. The Pas
adena papers have found a number OF
inventors and builders of aeroplanes.
+. O. Andreae, a member of the Aero
nautic society of New York, has
moved from Central Valley, N. Y, to
Pasadena, and has made PROPOSE
tion to the Pasadena Board of Trade
for exhibition of his aeroplane, pro-
viding the board of trade will provide
a motor.
Mr.. Andreae made a trial flight at
the June exhibition of the Aeronautic
society, which gave much better re-
suits than had been expected, in spite
of the fact that the machine was
equipped with an old steam engine.
