YANKEE TENNIS PLAYERS
DEFEAT THE BR|T|SHERS

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 12.-AmerlCa gam
ed a signal victory over Great Brit
ain Saturday in the first two matches
for the Davis international challenge
lawn tennis cup, William A. Larned
and William ]. Clothier defeating re-
spectively C. F. Dixon and ]. c. Parke
without the loss of set. Larned OUT
classed Dixon most of the time, but
Parke made a better fight against
Clothier, forcing the third set to deuce
games In neither match, however, was
there at any time serious doubt OF the
ultimate result, and that America will
he the challenger against Australia is
now regarded as almost a certainty.
Only one more point is needed, and
on Saturdays showing this is sure to
be obtained either on Monday in the
match in doubles or on Tuesday, when
two remaining single matches will be
PLAYED The ease with which the Amer
lean players won Saturday came as a
surprise, not only to the spectators,
but to the experts, who had predicted
a much closer argument

depended too much on passing shots,
which generally failed to come eff, and
seemed slow, although possibly this
was only in comparison with the tiger
like activity of Larned. When Dixon
made a bid to assume the aggressive
he did much better.
Larned got lead of 80 in the first
set before Dixon could tally a game.
The games then alternated until 5-3
was called, when Larned took the
ninth and final game by some dazzling
places. Dixon had 2-1 in the second set,
but at this point Larned showed a fine
streak of play, capturing five straight
games. 1t was all Larned in the third
set, though the Englishman managed
to bring three games to deuce.
Clothier seemed to have recovered
completely from the injury he receiv-
ed at Southampton a month ago, and
he was f1eeter of foot than at Newport.

BILLY keller TO BE NEXT
MANAGER OF BROOkLYNS.

New York, Sept. 12.-Whle no au-
thoritative statement has yet been
made by President Charles Fl. Fbbets,
il is regarded as a certainty that Billy
Keller will be the next manager of the
Brooklyns. The present captain of the
Highlanders is playing this year in his
old Baltimore form and he will be sad
ly missed by the fans on the Hilltop;
nevertheless, Frank Farrell will not
stand in the way of Wee Williams ad-
vancement in his profession. Keelel'
is great favorite across the bridge
and Brooklyn is his home. He is we'll
TODD, ana wouldn't have played with
the New York Americans this year
had rot Mr.. Farrell urged him to do
so. Keller, one of the members of Bal
timore's pig Four" would not con-
tinue in the game another season un-
less he had the chance to demonstrate
his ability as a big league manager,
just as McGraw, Jennings and Kelley,
the other members of the celebrated
quartet, have had. Billy's great ability
as a player has kept him in the ranks
of the high-salaried privates for long
time, and now he is eager to show
his -calibre as a manager. The Amerl-
can League club owners will allow
Keller to go to Brooklyn, as they
realize how loyal he was to the cause
of the Johnson organization when I,
was making a struggle for existence
and how big 4 drawing card he was

Leslie Crowl, Of Memo, s. D.,
who same here last Thursday to

was the victim of a daylight rob-
berry of unusual boldness in Sioux

train for Correctionville when he
was accosted by a we'll dressed
stranger who after a short CONVEX
sation said he was coming to Cor
rectionville, as he had a few days
ago purcha sed a clothing business
here.

shortly, can you change a $50
bill Q
"The boy said he could not.
Tive got to have some CHANGE
went on the CRATER. How much
have you got?
Leslie took out his purse and a
$40 bill coming to view the crook
reached for it and taking it from
the lad, started from the car say
ing something about coming back
in a minute.
"The boy was alone and altho
he had misgivings about the safety
of this transaction, the train was
about to start and so he remained
in his seat, hoping that his $40 bill
would reappear. But it didn't.
Leslie says he probably got his
moneys worth in experience, and
takes his loss philosophically."
