inclement weather at the Chevy Chase
tournament, and. weather permitting. they
viii he decided today. One match in the
mems singles. and one each in the mems
and mixed doubles were all that could I've

One of the most important matches of
the tournament was decided however.
when c. b. Doyle defeated A. l.. Hoskins.
by the scores of @ 6-1 and O. AL
though the winner came out on top in
rather easy fashion, the match was very
fast at times and brought OUT several
spectacular plays. which were generously

vim and speed, and showed up TO better
previous matches.

Mr.. Doyle is scheduled to meet r. II.
Palmer of New Jersey. last years WIN
ner for the title this afternoon. but as
the weather is SO bad. this and the ctner
matches will probably pc postponed until

unusual interest, and is attracting more
attention than any other As Doyle oe-
feated Palmer two sets Monday IN eA-
hibition games. and as the score was -
love in the third set in his favor wheh
play was called, the chances are more IN
mis- favor.
The match between Mrs. Tidhal and
Mr. Davis and Miss Winner and Mr.. HIS,
the third round of the mixed doubles, was
a good one and the winners sprung quite
surprise by their good work The DAVIS
Tidball combination played splendid ten
MIS- and deserved to WIN. The hrst SET
was exceedingly close, and the play
was fast and furious, while the second set
was not quite so fast, but was interesting
nevertheless.
Mems Doubles.
The other match of the day, that De-
tween Lerch and Leech, and James ana
Hills in the third round of the mems dou-
bles, was a good one the latter proving
the winners in straight sets. G-3 and o-.

desert the ranks of the bachelors Thurs
day, but did not suppose any of the play
ers on the team or Manager McAleer
knew of it. But they did. Wednesday
Rickard was called to the clubhouse just

KAISER WILL CRUISE.
Emperor William to Take Summer
Trip in Spite of the Internal
Political Situation.

BELIN, July Sin spite of the inter
nal political situation Emperor William
has decided to take his customary sum-
mer cruise in northern waters, which it
was recently reported he would forego.
There is nothing in the situation that he
cannot deal with by telegraph. He will
leave for the north after meeting the
King of Sweden at Sessnitz, July 6,
where the two monarchs will inaugurate
new steamship line between Sweden
and Germany.
The higher political world is setting
on one of three persons to succeed Chan
celor Won Buelow. These are DR.. Beth
man Helweg, minister of the interior and
vice chancellor, Baron Won Rheinbaben,
Prussian minister of state and finance,
and Count Won Wedel governor general
of Alsace-Lorraine.
The report sent to America that Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador
at Washington, and Baron Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, the ambassador to Ja-
pan, have been mentioned as possible
successors to Won Buelow appears to
have been originated solely for American
consumption; there is no knowledge of
such rumor in responsible quarters.

5000 MINERS TO STRIKE.
Australians in Struggle Which May End
in Af6lation with American
Mine Workers.

SYDNEY, July 3.-The long struggle
of the United Mine Workers of America
to draw the thousands of coal miners of
Cape Breton into it's membership will
come to a climax next Tuesday, when
the members of that organization in the
southern Cape Breton mines, numbering
about 5000 men, will go out on strike,
unless in the meantime the Dominion
Coal company should recede from its
position not to recognize the union.
The majority of the mine workers
in this province, including the employees
of the Dominion Coal company, are
members of the Provincial Working
mems association, which is generally rec
ognized by the operators.
While the United Mine Workers have
for years been endeavoring to gain con-
troll of the Provincial association, the
movement received it's real impetus just
month ago, when President t. L.
Lewis of the United Mine Workers
with H Bousfield and Peter Paterson of
the international board, arrived here in
an effort to strengthen the ranks of the
organization in this territory.

CIVIL PENSION LIST.
Talk in Washington of a Plan for the
Retirement of Superannuated
Clerks.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3.-Un-
officially the report is current that in his
next annual message President Taft will
recommend the creation of a fund for
the retirement of superannuated en-
ployes of the government. Jefferson $
saying that ''few die and none resign
is as trGe now as century ago; More
over the proportion of old employees. of
the government to the whole number has
increased greatly in consequence of the
establishment of civil service rules. No
decision as to the system of pensions to
be followed has been reached. Repre-
sentative Tawney has a plan under
which a small percentage of the com
pensation of all the employees would be
set aside to create a retirement fund
which ultimately, possibly in twenty
years. would be sufficient to pay all pen
sions. In the interim the government
would be compelled to make good a
steadily diminishing deficit.
