DARING GIRLS TAKE TO
BALLOONING AS PASTlME

Now that there is nothing in the line
of fights or races for local sports to get
a thriller out of many of the downtown
colony have taken to ballooning as
pastime, and the captive holsters are
doing a land office business. Women
are more or less enamored of the aerial
doings, and two daring Los Angeles
girls have been pulling off unusual
stunts in ascensions at the Fifth street
lot.
Recently these girls took up the dare
of the Fifth street pilot and ascended
without the basket, hanging to the rig
ging of the big air bag during its jour-
new toward the blue and back Last
night they were after the same sort of
a Joy ride, but too much danger was at
tached TO it and the owner Of the bal
loon refused to allow the stunt to be
carried out. A conventional ride was
enjoyed, however, and the fair aeron-
auts are planning to be aboard when
the big bag is "cut away for q journey
without its OBTAINING cable.
Aerial weddings will be among the
vogues of the near future, as the bal
loon near the Arcade deport has been
engaged to carry couple, their at
tendants and a minister up this week,
and when the end of the cable is
reached the knot will be tied. Later in
the season long flights without any
cable attachments will be made, and it
may be that eloping sweethearts will
discard the automobile in favor Of the
big air bags.

NJ 'LOUGHLIN WINS
FROM JOHNSON
InterschoIaStiC Champion Downs
intercollegiate Title Holder
in Straight Sets
Especial to The Herald

BROOKLINE, Mass, July 23.-Mau-
rice Mclaughlin upheld the prophets
declarations Of yesterday by today de-
feating Walter T. Johnson of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania in straight sets
by score OF GA, CO, G-3. Johnson
was not in the running at any stage
of the game, and could not solve the
Westerner's forehand stroke that re-
pcatedly passed him for clean aces,
Mclaughlin won every service for his
own delivery and broke through John
sons five times for the win. McLOugh-
Inns easy victory over Johnson shows
clearly that he is in the best form of
his tennis experience. and that he is
ready to give the national champion,
w. A. Larned the fight Of his life when
they meet Monday.
The match was a snappy exhibition
throughout, and both players showed
great skill at the game. Johnson is the
intercollegiate champion, having an
neXed the title from Melville IL. Long,
McLoughlin's team mate, last year.
and Mclaughlin, who now holds the
interscholastic title, saw chance to
turn the tables on the Philadelphian-
and the tables were turned. one of the
largest crowds of the tourney filed the
Longwood gallery, and the days con-
tests were among the best exhibitions
of the tournament.
Mclaughlin will have a splendid
chance to take the national champion
down the line Monday, but the odds
are overwhelmingly in the favor of the
easterner; and as the Mclaughlin
style of play gains little by a rest,
there are few who pick the younger
man to win. Larned, however, has
been growing old, and although only
81, the twenty years may prove a
heavy handicap. The veteran has been
out Of the game for some time with
sprained tendon, and this will affect
his game to a considerable extent.
1t is McLoughlin's chance, and the
opportunity is too good one to miss.
The summary of the days matches is
as follows:
Longwood singles, final round-Mau-
rice Mclaughlin defeated Walter f.
Johnson, Ga, 6-2, 6-3.
Edward H. Whitney of Boston with
Richard Bishop of LongWood won the
eastern doubles championship, defeat
ing in the finals r. A. Holden, jr., and
F. NJ Watrous, the Yale team, 6-3, 6-2,
2-6. 7-5.

COLD 'TRAPPER" IS S7UNG
BY JOKE Of COMPANIONS
Doc Schroeder Falls for WiIeS of
Hunting Party and Shoots
Wooden Box

Friends Of DR.. Dick Schroeder put
good one over on the molar extractor
during q hunting trip to SilVerado cam
yon, from which they returned yester-
day The party, in addition to Schroe-
der, contained Tom Williams, Jack
Rannells and L. o. Hall, and all aboard
did what they could to have a good
time.
On the way from Los Angeles to the
canyon Schroeder filed his companions
with tales of how he used to shine as
trapper of big game. AS soon as the
outfit was unpacked Doc started to
work to make good, and after stren-
uous hour or two had fixed up big
box trap. He baited it with bacon,
and when bedtime rolled around tore
into the sheets to get much needed
rest.
While Morpheus and Schroeder We're
communing Hall stole out Of the cabin
and fixed things. A box with some
strong cord attached was placed inside
the trap, and after pulling one end or
the, string through so it could be
handled from the outside, the door or
the cage was let down.
After everything was ready his
friends awakened Schroeder.
"Ry Ginks, there's a fox in there
said Dick, while Hall manipulated the
cord and caused the box to rattle
around like something alive. without
noticing how convulsed his talk made
the bunch, Doc tore for the house and
secured his rifle. The way he peppered
that box was a caution, and finally ne
retired to sleep, thinking he had killed
a fox or something and would get 1t In
the morning.
AS soon as Doc was peacefully sleep
ing the others went to work ana re-
moved all signs of their dummy. With
a bottle of permanganate fairly good
limitations of blood stains were made
inside the trap and out in front of it.
The first thing Schroeder did when he
awakened in the morning was to rush
out and look for his prize. The blood
stains caught his eye. THAT was a
fox" he told his friends. You would
not think they were that tough, would
you? Here 1 filled him full of lead, and
vet he had sense enough to get away
as soon as we were out of sight" And
this will be the first Doc knows of the
way it was framed up on him, and just
how dangerous and foxy that fox
WAS
