Tragedy for Evening Dress

He was clad in evening dress. while
an opera hat adorned his head, in keeping
with the balance of his attire" said
pedestrian.
along Twentieth street he was strid-
ing in manly fashion when the warmth
os the evening air caused him to lift his
hat and mop his brow. His fingers, how
ever, did not seize the headgear firmly
enough and it dropped to the sidewalk
directly in front of a stout pedestrian
of the masculine sex. There was no time
to stop and the foot which had started
forward could not be stopped, and into
the crown of the hat it sank with crush
ing force. The stout man was all apollo
gies and wanted to pay for the damage,
which the victim, with Redeemed face, de-
clined. Ho was rapidly developing an ex-
poson when the stout individual per-
suoeed him to go with him to a place
where hat of similar shape could be
secured for the evening.

Back From New Orleans

Secretary. Joseph 3. Babb and Secre-
tary Frank Chaffee of the Birmingham
Commercial organizations returned yes
terday from New Orleans, where they at
tended the annual meeting OF the South
ern Commercial secretaries.
1T was a great meeting" said Secre-
tary Babb. Every state south of the
Ohio river was represented, and the men,
bership of the organizations represented
was over 1900.
1T was an experience meeting, every
secretary profiting by the experiences OF
the others The sentiment of the conven-
ton was in favor of more cooperation
among cities, for the advertisement of the
south as whole.
"The farm movement was one of the
principle subjects discussed, and other
cities are taking up the plan which has
recently been undertaken by our cham
ber."

MISS SUTTON WON'T PLAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-Word
to the effect that Miss May Sutton will
not be on hand for the State champion
ship tennis tournament which COM
mences on the courts at the Univer-
sity of California the oath of this
month Miss Sutton intended to make
the trip but for some reason or other
has changed her mind. The fact is
deeply regretted by the local followers
of the sport, as they have been look
ing forward to another meeting be-
tween Miss Sutton and Miss Hazel
HotchlIiss for the title.
Miss Sutton explained in her com
munication that as she was surely
coming up to Del Monte for the Coast
championship in September she
thought it best to await another meet
ing with Miss Hotchkiss till then.
Though Miss Sutton will not be on
hand for the State event the tourna-
ment will be an interesting one. Miss
Hotchkiss will play and she is practi-
cally conceded the championship, but
/ she will have to play good tennis 10
win.
/ Mrs. George Coulter of Honolulu
the champion of the islands, will be
present and those who have seen her
play are Of the opinion that Miss
Hotchliiss will have considerable diff
ficulty in dispOsing of her. Miss Coda
Myer Of the Ladies' Annex Tennis
Club is another player who must bC
considered. Miss Hotchkiss has de
feated her on numerous occasions ii
the past but she does not outclass hei
to the extent that Miss Myer has no
a chance.
Then, too, the mems event will be
of interest Melville Long and George
James will both be in the competition
e and it is likely that one or two gooC
players win be on hand from thu
p southern part of the state. Long anC
| James will probably be the best play
ers entered, however, and the cham
, pionship undoubtedly lies between
them. The tournament will com
mence on the Gath of the month an
continue for three or four days. TIL
courts at Berkeley are in the hes
possible shape and from the common
around the tennis clubs the matche
( will be well attended.
- Local players at present in the Eas
are doing exceptionally well, and

FINAL HoNoRs FOR wAsEDAs

Professor Abe and the members OF
the Waseda baseball team were the
guests of the Oahu baseball league
at a luau given last night at NotleJ
Hall This was the last event given
in honor of the Layers who have made
themselves popular with the baseban
fans of Hawaii by their gentlemaniy
manner and sportsmanlike behavior
on the bah field. A large number Of
people were present at the luau,
which started at $50. After dinner
speeches were made by number Of
the guests.
Although nothing definite has been
decided it is more than likely that
the Wasedas will be seen in action
again next year on their way to ami
from the coast. Arrangements are be-
ing made for the Keio team to conc
next year at the same time as the Wa
sedas and play a series of games with
the local teams. The Waseda team
will play in Chicago next summer WIN
the team from the University of Chi
cago as well as the other college teams
in the middle west.
Fun LC.ails regarding the coming -:
beth teams will be announced short"
~ after the visitors arrive home on
the Tenyo Maru.
Manager Marcallino stated TINS
morning that negotiations We're being
made at the present time with the Off
| cials of Keio university. relative e
the team coming next year for series
o. games in Honolulu It it is possible
the series will be started some time
earlier than the series this year with
the Wasedas.

Coast will be considered quite a fac
tor in the tennis world Though Nc
Loughin was defeated in the New
York State championship event by a
player who rates around the thirty
mark in the annual rating of players,
he has shown to good advantage in all
of the other tournaments in which he
has participated.
It was with quite little satisfaction
that the followers of the game here
read the success of Mclaughlin
agfJnst wallace johnson and Nat
Niles i'm different tournaments. 1t will
lie remembered that both of these
PLAYERS we're placed ahead of McLough-
lin in the ranking of players last year.
Local enthusiasts were convinced that
Mclaughlin was a better man than
either Johnson or Niles, and this tour
nament along with those which are
to come will prove it. Mclaughlin won
from johnson in the Longwood event.
and then at Southampton this week
he disposed of Niles with comparative
ease. Niles won the first set %, but
Mclaughlin took the second and third
g and Cd, respectively.
Not only has Mclaughlin been sue
cessful in the East Henderick and
Bundy won the preliminaries to the
National doubles championship event
and will play Hackett and Alexander
| for the title Long also won the first
National clay court championship
! tournament.
