HoTcHKisS' CLEAN SWEEP.
She Takes All the Cups and Prizes in
 Tennis Meet.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 26.-Capturing four cups. all emblematic of the highest honors In the lawn tennis world, Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Berkeley, Cal, made clean sweep today in the women's na- tional tournament at the Philadelphia Cricket club. She won the women's na- tional singles championship, defeating in the challenge Mrs BargerWalla of New York; she and Miss Rotch of Bos- ton won the womens doubles champion ship and in partnership with Wallace F. Johnson of the University of Pennsyl- vania she took the mixed doubles title. One of the four cups was captured yes terday by Miss Hotchkss. This is a record equalled not even by Miss May Sutton, the other California star, who won only the singles championship. Miss Hotehkiss' victory over Mrs Barger- Wallace was hollow one She allowed last years champion six points in the first set and one game in two sets.
 In the mixed doubles the western girl participated in a most striking victory for her formidable opponent. Miss Louise Hammond of New York, with Raymond D. Little were beaten 6-2; 60.
 In each case the victory was due to superior playing with no fiukes to mark 1t and the concensus of critical opinion Is that Miss Hotchkiss is the greatest woman player ever seen here, with the possible exception of Miss Sutton. With a powerful backhand and forward drive she is q lightning volleyer and in over head play she is stronger than Miss Slut ton was when the latter made her only appearance in the east

The first five innings were well played EsS both sides. Ross, who was pitching for Bes- semer, then weakened and the swatfest commenced. At this time the roofing of the Ensley contingent was terrific and from the fifth inning until the game was over the Ensley boys scored at will Fred Moore pitched a magnificent game for Ensley and fielded his position superbly Daniels starred, as usual. McLane played sensational game at short, making two hits, run, five putouts and assisted in two fast double plays. Owens starred at the bat, connecting safely three times. The Bessemer boys played gamely and though hopelessly beaten kept up the fight until the last ball was thrown. Ross, though hard to hit. kept his head and worked hard to change the tide of for tune. Edmondson, at first. played like a veteran, taking everything that came his way without pebble. Allen worked hard behind the bat and was credited with 10 putouts. Lacy and Keeling did well.
 Genial Alex Little and John Antwine es- saved the part of umpires and succeeded in getting through the game without call- ing for police protection. Their work gave satisfaction to both sides. They showed a thorough Knowledge of the game, few of their decisions being questioned.

BARONS RETURN TO BIR RMINGHAM
 SOME OPINIONS
BY BILL AK.

Little Rock, June -(special.)-We have invaded the west for the second time.
 On this trip we dropped eight games and won but 4.
 We played some bad ball and we never drew smile from the Mistress Fortune who presides over the game
 We will be in Birmingham Sunday night. ready for the Crackers of Atlanta Monday We play 8 double-header on that day, the first game. it is probable, beginning at 2:S0 o'clock.
 The Crackers are playing magnihcently at the present time. They have gained the leadership of the league while on the road. But the series beginning Monday will be hard fought, and it would sur prise me no little If we got three of the four games. Dickson and Manuel will probably open Monday. although Moles- worth may send Schopp to the hill instead of Moxie.
 We stay at home but short while three days.
 Then we go on the road again for 10 days, playing the clubs of the east. When those 10 days are ended the Barons will have finished a months trip without break, practically. It's rather hard schedule but it is now too late to regis ter a kick on that line.
 But when the eastern trip is conclud- ed the Barons will remain at home until the first week in August. playing 20-odd games. There Is our chance. Unless we grasp that opportunity our hopes are blasted for a certainty.
 The season is more than half gone.
