JOHN 7. BAILEY WRITES CON
YOUNG OF 0MAHA'S VICTORY
Getting Clay Court Tennis Meet Was
"GIOriOus, Unmarried and Blood
less Victory" He Says.

In telling of the victory Omaha scored
in securing the honor OF holding the ma
tional clay court championships at Omaha,
John T. Bailey of Talihina, Okl., who
represented Omahas interests at the meet
ing of the National United States Lawn
Tennis association, writes to Conrad
Young, who first brought the matter be-
fore the association in 1907
1T was a glorious, unmarried and blood
less victory. We landed 1t for Omaha al
about l a. m. We had trouble to get the
location OF the tournament from the exc.
cutive committee, as many thought we had
enough when we got the clay court sane
tion. Cincinnati would have beaten us in
the executive committee two to one, and
they gave us a hard fight on the floor
Holterhof of Cincinnati, Hawk of Illinois
and Waidner of Chicago, were the hardest
fighters for Cincinnati, and were aided by
eastern men. Lamb of North Dakota,
Seymour of Pittsburg, Mahan and w. A.
Larned and Rlddleberger Of Virginia, gave
us help and the argument of fair play"
priority of Omahas claim and interests of
western tennis won the men over until we
finally had big majority Waidner fought
Omaha bitterly, representing the western
association and 1 think his evident hos
tility lost him votes. / begged the cham
pionship for Omaha and 1 hope you will
approve, as with our proxies gone there
was nothing else to do.
You will have to take up time of tourna-
ment with Cincinnati and the Pacific coast.
George Wright says IL you follow Gin
cinnati, the Pacific coast players will at
tend, favor following Gin, but will leave
1t all to you Hawk worked hard for clay
courts. l refused to go on the executive
committee as feared it might split Hawks
vote, and If 1 were elected, as was prob
able 1 thought. it would hurt our chances
for Omaha and the clay courts. 1 shall
ask you to thank Butler, Lamb, Seymour
and Riddleberger. JOHN T. BAILEY"
"P. SIP. B. Hawk says he will play at
omaha and a lot of others expect to
come"

KENYON
Selects A "Grad" As Manager
OF Athletics

Gambler, o., May Sat the regu-
lar May meeting of the Kenyon as
sembly the amendment to the consti-
tuition. of the assembly, providing for
graduate manager of atheletics,
was taken from the table and passed
by a large majority.
The amendment provides for a grad
uate manager whose purpose it shall
be, chiefly, to attend to all the sched-
ule making for the various teams. The
manager is to receive a salary of 5000
a year. Directly following the adop-
ton of the amendment, DR.. Walton,
of the faculty, was nominated for the
office and unanimously elected.
Whether he will accept or not has not
as yet been ascertained.
This action will fill long-left-want
In Kenyon athletics. Heretofore the
school has had to make out as best
she could through the medium of stu
dent managers, who at times have
proven most unsatisfactory. The
present plan, that of having mem
ber of the faculty act in the capacity
of graduate manager, will do away
with all uncertainty In the future. DR..
Walton's choice is popular one and
1t is to be hoped that he will accept.

Suit For Damages

Suit For Damages
Thompson Brothers of Gambler
have filed damage suit in the court
of common pleas of Knox county
against the Cleveland, Akron & Co
lumbus railroad company. The plain
tiff states that on October 30 1909,
the defendant carelessly placed box
car, with hot box, on siding near
their mill at Gambler, and that the car
caught fire and set fire to their mill
and that the mill was burned to the
ground, entailing loss of $4,000. In
addition to this the plaintiffs state
that they have lost the use of their
warehouse to their damage in the sum
of $500 and therefore asks for damag-
es in the sum of $6,500 against the
railroad company, with interest from
October 30, 1909. Owen & Carr are
the attorneys for the plaintiff.
