Throughout the tournament the
western player had been distinguish

if any picked him to defeat the vet
eran Wright. Today's match was one
of the most spectacular played on the
Casino courts for many a day. In the
first two sets Bundy apparently had
Wright at his mercy winning both sets
So. The Californian, by a sensational
style of play, kept Wright on the de-
fensive and forced him to keen in the
back courts. In the third set Wright
developed an amazing burst of speed.
The keenest struggle of the match de-
veloped in the fourth and final set
which required eighteen games to
reach a victory. After the seventh
game and up to the seventeenth, each
man lost ON his own service and the
score alternated.
Bundy finally won the seventeenth
game on his own service. but Wright
failed to do as much in the eighteenth
and game, set, match and the all-eom-
ers' championship was awarded to the
Californian.

Chicago. Aug. 24.-Chicago is to
have a theater with a woman's smok-

especially for women.
The new theater will be housed in

smoke Others, who desire to smoke,
don't care to in the presence of women
who find the habit Objectionable"

Final action was delayed until another effort is made to arrange joint conference.
 According to Secretary Fox, fully 30 per cent of the tonnage mines in Indiana could be signed up within the next 24 hours. He charged that the operators were taking advantage of the strike sit- uation to sell coal at a large advance in price with guarantee that no coal in Indiana would be mined during the next 20 days

AGED WOMAN AND GRAND'JHILD

 TRAIN AT GARDEN CITY

bound freight train No. 19, and hurled the track.
 The aged grandmother was attempting to cross the railroad track with the child in her arms when the engine struck ner Her body was horribly mangled, both arms and both legs being broken and her skull crushed so that the brain oozed out when she was carried away. The body of the child struck the mail crane, where the mail bags are hung to be caught by the trains as they pass. The little boy drew two or three breaths after he was picked up. His body was not manged.
 The accident happened in the presence of several men, who were standing on the depot platform, and it has mortified the whole village of Garden City. It was stated that Mrs Hall saw the train approaching and that the engineer blew his whistle for her several times. She evidently thought she could cross before the. train got to her, however, and paid no attention. Any of the men standing near could have grasped her and pulled her back to safety, but they did not real ize what was happening until 1t was all over.
 The train was through freight and was running at a pretty fast rate of speed. All who saw the accident claimed that the engineer did all in his power to prevent the accident. Mrs. Hall was the mother-in-law of Dr. Cook. 1t is stated that Dr. Cook and his wife are almost frantic over the gruesome acci- dent. The child had two brothers and was the youngest child of the Cook fam fly He is the child of pr. Cooks sec ond wife.
 The funeral of the two, child and grandmother-or just beginning life and the other almost at it's close when they met death--will be held today at the residence of Dr. Cook. The train which was the cause of the accident reached Birmingham last night about 7:S0 o'clock.
