GOOD SPORT AHEAD
FOR TENNIS LOVERS
Women's Tournament Most Inn
pOrfanf of Events Scheduled
for the Near Future
By GRANT SMITH

This month promises to be a busy
one for the local tennis players. There
are not likely to be any rainy Sundays
from now on, and the courts will be
in great demand. The most important
event scheduled is the San Francisco
tournament for women. This is vir
tually a championship event. but owing
to the fact that the entry list is con-
fined to residents of this city, it is not
given recognition as such by the ma
tional association
The winner will be to all intents and
purposes the champion woman player
of the city
The tournament which is scheduled
to be played on the Golden Gate park
courts next Saturday is the second an
nual event of the kind. The competi-
ton will be for the Spalding cup, which
must be won three times by any player
before passing into her possession per-
manently. Play will be called promptly
at o'clock. Entries close Thursday,
April Z. and must be sent to Mrs.
Fletcher, secretary of the women's an
mex. An entrance fee of so cents will
be charged.
The present holder of the cup is
Mrs. Ida Mearns Griffiths, who will de-
fend. AS Miss Coda Myer is back in
the game again and playing as well
as ever it is expected the cup will go
to her. While she does not completely
outclass some of the other fair players
at the park, she is enough stronger to
be almost assured of a victory. Miss
Myer did not participate in the tourna-
ment last year.
Mrs. Neimeyer will no doubt be Miss
Myers most dangerous rival for final
honors. 1t is expected one of the two
viii win the tournament and meet Mrs.
Griffith in the challenge match. Miss
Annabel Wooden is about the only other
player at the park who figures to win
the tournament. She is considered al
most as clever as Mrs. Neimeyer, but is
not expected to dispose of Miss Myer.
a handicap doubles tournament will
be played in the park courts today. This
event was scheduled for last Sunday,
but had to be postponed on account of
rain. 1t is one of series of events for
the three time cups put up by the di
rectors. The trophies are at present in
the possession of Cahill and Marcus,
who won the last tournament of the
kind The handicaps have been read
justed since the last tournament and
play should prove unusually close.
A handicap doubles tournament for
the Lederman cups will be played on
the California club courts next Sunday.
This event was scheduled for today, but
was postponed so as not to conflict with
the tournament at the park. AS the
cups have to be won only once and are
most artistic the full strength of the
club will be in the competition. AS the
last tournament held at the club was
handicap doubles event, the tourna-
ment committee has a good line on the
teams and will be able to adjust the
handicaps to assure much closer
matches than in the last tournament,
which was won with ease by Wescott
and Derby.

Apparently the overloaded banks Of
the south, carrying millions Of bales
for the syndicate, reached their limit Of
accommodation before the top notch
price Of cotton was attained. Appar-
emily 16, or 1t may be Is cents pound
instead Of 20, represents the normal
equilibrium between supply and de-
mand. At one time Mr.. Scales was
carrying on his speculative back pos
sibly half the entire cotton crop Of last
year, and considering the enormity Of
the purchases, the magnitude Of the
banking accommodations, especially in
the south, and the range Of prices, the
greatest ever known since we began to
grow cotton excepting in civil war days
we find good and sufficient evidence to
justify the statement that at one time
Mr.. Scales could have written his prof
its upon paper at as much as 10000
600.
"Now II it be true, as Is generally
believed to be the case, that while Mr..
Scales figures his paper loses at any
where between $4,000, 900 and $4,000, 900,
cotton at present prices would be mar
keted at some s5,O00,0O0 or ss,0o0,o0o
less than would have been the case had
he been able to market 1t at the higher
price. nevertheless he can easily reckon
a conversion Of paper profits into hard
cash Of from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000,
then what good business man Is there
to deny the proposition that in a spec
ulative boom a greater speculator can
afford and even must expect to see pa
per profits wither, not regretfully, II
he can contemplate an ultimate market
in cold cash Of from $1,500,000 to ST.
100000. representing the net profits Of
six months speculative activity"

She discovers that the author Of the
article was Wheeler Brand, brilliant
young writer whom she had promised

HI-Brand is discharged by the man

enemy of his. IV-Nolan calls for
Brand and makes him managing editor.
V-Brand tells Nolan and his socially
ambitious family that the dishonest

Brand cut him short, saying agitat

II am still managing editor"
McHenry now realized plainly thai
the intensely earnest Brand had decid'
ed to run the story that very night re.
gardless Of Nolan's attitude. It would
be an easy matter, as Nolan, Of course
would not remain at the office much
longer. And McHenry we'll knew thai
such an act would not only bring about
Brands discharge from the Advance
but that 1t would as we'll injure his
REPUTATION in other newspaper offices
where obedience to ones superior, al
in any we'll regulated organization, is 9
mans first duty under all circum-
stances.
"Why, man." he exclaimed question
ingly, you're surely not going to run
this story?"
Before Brand could give an answer
to this last question, even II he had in
tended to do so, Nolan broke in on the
pair
"Mr. Nolan" began Brand, "you
have heard the whole story Of this
miserable affair, both sides Of it-Bar-
telmy's and my own. from our own
lips. Whatever defense or explanation
Bartelmy gave you don't know. But
so far as / am concerned, told you
the facts and the truth. You must
know that by this time. You must be-
lieve It. Therefore why do you or how
in heavens name can you hesitate?"
Michael Nolan's face shone with the
light of determination.

career When I rose to be chairman

world, an outcast, and became a day
laborer in the mines. When the day
came that I owned my own mine 1t

So in the life led did not get the
opportunity to study or even become
familiar with the important questions
and the problems that confront the
men that guide the policy Of newspa-
pers."
Nolan drew close to Brand and
placed his hand affectionately on the
young editors shoulder
But you, Wheeler-you have taught
me much about those big issues that I
did not know, and you have shown to
me the high ideals that should guide
the newspaper writer, the newspaper
editor and the newspaper owner as
well. You are right in this case" His
voice rose to majestic heights Wheel
er Brand, I have learned from you that

force 1t Is the strong arm Of the
Right standing against the evil arm of
the Wrong. So we must not falter.
We must not delay. Show the big
thieves up. Wheeler. Let the story go
to press"
Nolan turned quickly away and has
tened out and down into the street
A warm glow Of enthusiasm spread
over the face of Wheeler Brand as he
picked up bundle Of proofs.
"Werl show them up!' he cried ex-
ultantly. We'll show them up, and
We'll put them down."

He plucked off the first two pages

downward to rescue his first two pages,
but Brand kicked them away from him.
"Where'd she live2" he next asked.
Powell clasped his hands and gazed
plaintively at the ceiling.

strength Of character, his determina-
ton, at the sacrifices he had made, to
accomplish what he believed, even II
foolishly, to be his duty.
"They don't need me-" she finally
muttered, and, gathering up her costly
skirts, she tripped daintily across the
paper strewn floor, out into the hall
and down to her carriage.
Nolan dropped his head in thought
when his wife had finished her TRADE.
He paced up and down nervously.
He looked at the clock. then at the
form with its accusing contents, then
at Brand, then at his wife.
'Tll go and telephone Judge Bartel-
N.Y." put in Dupuy. He'll be anxious"
The lawyer took himself off.
Brand saw the danger Of delay. He
doubted If any man would be able to
successfully Withstand the pressure
that Bartelmy and Nolan's family
would be able to bring to bear on the
owner in another twenty-four hours.

You would fail me again. have

days delay would be fatal, 1 know.
At least Bartelmy could get another
judge to issue an injunction against
US even if he would not dare to do
it himself And there are other steps
he might take"
His voice rose higher, and he worked
himself into a frenzy Of earnestness.
He stood before the little group gath
cred around the ink black form and
continued his impassioned words:
You know l thought we were going
to be absolutely unmuzzled here. You
were a free man. Poverty couldn't
frighten you, and you had seen both
sides Of life. You promised to back
me up, not matter what it cost, so long
as we printed the truth, but at the first
big test you fail me-"
Mrs. Nolan was on the point Of be-
coming hysterical in her agitation.

He led her out of the room.
Brand spoke to McHenry.
Did you hear, Mac?" he asked. "He
won't decide to run it."
Its tough, old man-it's tough!"
This Is such a live thing I don't
see how l can kill it," the managing
editor said, rubbing his hand over the
face of the form.
That's the best first page ever made

justifiable professional pride.
Brand was inconsolable.

Just this thing" he said, something
so plain that even children would see

You go home!" Brand suddenly or

Brands face was beginning to twitcf
nervously. He stood in the middle Of

and unclnched his hands, not daring
to look McHenry squarely in the face

mountains and guarded upon every
hand by its deserts that 1t has been
called the last stand Of the old west.
In this place lives Buffalo Jones. He
has a ranch there, and his speciality
is cattalo, a queer creature, half buf-
falo and half COW that Is raised for
its head and hide. Buffalo Jones was
the first keeper Of the Yellowstone
Park. He cowed the grizzlies that
the tourists might snap them. He
tanned the puma and intimidated the
elk. He made 1t possible for one
Theodore Roosevelt and his friend
John Burroughs to follow him there
and camp in the wilderness unafraid
and unarmed.
Persons familiar with the west
and its living colossi have wondered
about this same Roosevelt and Buffa-
10 Jones. Why did Roosevelt ex-
clude Jones from his set? Where
was the greatest Westerner Of .ham

giving those White House dinners to
Catches Em-Alive Abernathy, Viking

rest? How was 1t that Roosevelt.

after mountain lions with Buffalo
Jones? Why did he lend his pen to
immortalizing other men for lesser
feats, leaving 1t to unknown writer's
to relate how Jones roped his noun
tain lions out Of the pinon trees?
We have wondered too. how Buf-
falo Jones has felt about 1t, and this
last, at least, we have just found out.
He is mad about 1t, or, as they say
in the west, piqued. He has gone to
