TENNIS NOV|CES
To HAVE TOURNEY.
Amateurs at the Game Are to Be
Given Chance for Prizes
on Courts
NEW IDEA WINS APPROVAL
Handicap Arrangement Will Give
New Players Opportunity
to Show Class

Beginners at the tennis game and
those who are somewhat timid about
venturing to enter their names among
the topnotchers in the championship
Journeys will be interested in learning
that they are to have tournament Oh
their own, where they will line up with
embryo cracks and where they will get
a chance to thoroughly absorb the ins
and outs of the court game as played
in tournament. The idea is a good
one and is becoming the topic of con-
versation between fans far and near.
Whether the event will be an invita-
tion affair or a free-for-all, open tour
nament, has not yet been fully decided,
but that the meet will take place is
now assured.
The date set for the mlXup, although
not definitely arranged. probably will
be about two weeks after the Virginia
championship tourney, which takes
place in August. Dubs of all sorts and
sizes, those who have tennis talent
and those who are doomed to be al
ways among the lower ranks, will have
ample chance to show what they can
do in a tennis way lined up with their
own class and given a fair opening to
win. Prizes similar to those which will
be awarded the winners of the other
local Journeys will be offered, and
everything will be done to make the
tournament a success, not only from
the outsiders point of view but also
from the players standpoint, giving
every entry liberal education in tour
nament play without blotting him out
of the schedule before he has a chance
to give a fair account of himself
The tournament will be handicap
affair If plans mature, arranging all
entries according to their showing in
the past: or, in case this is not feasible,
giving them a tryout and chasing
them accordingly. The handicap idea
is a good one. and it is all the better
as the west has never seen anything
of the kind in its tennis history. II
this plan could be carried out the event
would be thrown open to every one
but the champs" would be laboring
under a sufficiently heavy handicar
to balance the skill or lack of skill OF
their pponents. Wallace Robb of the
Dyas-Cline company is the originator
of the scheme and has been talking
it up among the players. Every one
seems to be in favor of the plan, and
the tourney probably will become ar
annual event of importance secont
only to the Virginia championships.

INSANITY CHARGE AGAINST
COLLIER is DISMISSED
Patient in Hospital Says Drink
Caused Queer Actions

Presiding Judge Bordwell yesterday
reproved DR. Robert V. Day for pre-
ferring charges of insanity against
John NJ. Collier, patient at the Home
sanitarium, who is said to be out Of
funds.
The physician charged Collier with
jumping out of the window of the in
stitution so that he fell and sprained
his ankles, and from this fact he al
legged insanity. The defendant, how
ever. told straight story and looked
anything but an insane man.
It was shown that he had secured
liquor which made him act wild. some
thing which the commission did not
think unusual. Judge Bordwell said 1t
was a strange proceeding to wait until
a man was practically helpless from
injuries and then swear out a COM
plant against him for insanity, when
no such action had been taken pre-
viiously.
He told DR.. Day to use better judg-
ment and dismissed Collier.

MAY GET INCREASED PAY

Three clerks in the auditors office
will have heavier pay envelopes if the
supply committee of the council can

council to increase the pay Of two
clerks from $100 to S110 and one clerk
from S11O to SIPS. These Increases
arc to pay for the additional work
done in paying laborers every Thurs
day night. The extra work keeps them
on duty five to six hours longer every
week.

MAN MADE CRIMINAL
BY BLOW ON THE HEAD
Police of New Jersey Town dag
nose Remarkable Case of
Dual Identity

SOMERV1LLE, N. j., May 17.-That
the blow from a baseball on the head
can change a man of the highest moral
reCtitude into a daring and expert
criminal, is the view expressed by the
police in their explanation to the court
of the charges brought against William
Miller of Raritan, N. j.
According to the police diagnosis,
Miller's arrest on a charge of larceny
has brought to light a remarkable
case of dual identity corresponding in
many points to the story of DR. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde"
The police Vouch for the statement
that before his accident in the baseball
game, several weeks ago. Miller was a
model in the community. After that
accident, his friends say, he frequently
had periods of apparent alteration,
when he would become morose, shun
their company and disappear from
their view for several hours. When
he returned he seemed to be again
happy and was unable to recall any
thing that happened in the meantime
During one of these periods of aber-
ration, the police say, they caught
Miller robbing railroad ticket Office,
and that at another time they charge
him with looting the cash registers in
a local department store.
Miller declares ne mas no recolleclloii
of these acts, and the police are con-
Vinced he IS not shamming.
"This prisoners plight is more psy-
Geological than criminal" was the ex-
PLANTATION of the chief of police to
Justice Kitchen. His impulse to
steal is brain trouble that has resulted
from an accident that he suffered on
the ball field. In his normal state he
seems entirely removed from the
criminal acts of his other ego"
A committee of New York experts
will examine Miller before his case is
taken up again in the court.
