MORGAN IS Senior
Tennis CHAMPION
Stanford UppercIassn7an Must
Win One More Match for
Varsity Title

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. t.
By defeating H. Mann the tennis cham
pion of the class of 1911. H. S. Morgan
'12 Saturday won the upper class cham
pionship of the university Morgan
had previously won the championship
of the junior class by defeating Charles
Grace and now that he has defeated
Mann he has only one more match to
play in order to gain the tennis cham
pionship of the university.
The closest contest of the tournament
was that between F. NJ. Douglass and
r. l.. Murray for the sophomore cham
pionship. These two men have so far
played very even game and have met
in all the finals up to date. Murray
was successful in getting the first set
on Saturday. but Douglass braced up
and took both the second and third sets
away from him, which gave him the
sophomore championship. For the
freshman championship Dawson de-
feated Carston and will now play Doug
lass for the right to compete with Nor
gan for the university championship.
All of these matches will attract the
interest of tennis enthusiasts generally,
for all three of the men are players of
unusual ability. Morgan is the present
holder OF the university championship.
Douglass has won a hard handicap
tournament and Dawson is one of the
holders of the state doubles champion
ship.
The results of the final matches were:
1911-H. Mann defeated A. C. Talboy,
6-2. Sc; 1912-H. S. Morgan defeated
c. S. Grace, 6--3. 10. So; 1913-F.
M. Douglass defeated R. L. Murray

Fight Promoters Quit
At Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 7-After
more than year, in which it is claimed
several thousands of dollars were lost
strying to revive the boxing game here
under favorable laws passed by the
last legislature. promoters have thrown
the sponge in the ring and the field
is entirely abandoned for the time be-
ing at least.
Nearly a dozen clubs were chartered
under the new law the moment Gov
ernor Patterson signed the bill. All
have lost money, according to their
claims. and they blame the Jeffries-
Johnson fight for lack of patronage,
claiming that general belief in the
south was that the Reno affair was a
cold blooded. money making scheme,
and not real match.
This leaves New Orleans practically
in sole possession of the southern fight

From now on if the sky is clear the

country old enough to remember the
last visit of Halley's comet and thew are
not going into blue funk over its ap-
proach. One nonogenarian in South
Carolina says the only phenomenon then
observed, beside the extra crop of
meteors, was that his canteloupe crop

that to happen in years when there was
no comet near the earth's orbit"

HERE IT, Is AGAIN

The Tidewater Democrat has q
news item that two car loads OF
hay have just arrived at Tappa-

reversed and two or ten car loads
shipped away. When will our
farmers learn? In this connec-

what Charles county, MARYLAND,
Is doing in that very line. A
Baltimore man bought a farm OF
800 acres in that county some
years ago. He is now making
300 tons of hay a year on it, sell.
ing this at $50 a ton. That
means that he is making 81, 500
a year from the hay alone, this
on a farm that cost him onlv
$4,000. Besides this he has tim

to be worth $4,000. And Charles
