ed the Stub pitcher was responsible
for the low score, while the youthful
pitcher made fine showing and de-
served shutout.
Two hits, both safe drives by First
Baseman Raley, were all that the
Stubs secured of Horn, the Mt. Yer
non recruit. The big youngster was
given some good support, especially
at critical stages of the game. He
gave six bases on balls, but he struck
out an equal number of batters, and
one of them came at time when a
pinch hitter was sent to bat.
While it will take another game or
two to determine whether Horn can
stand the gaff, it appears very much
as if the Mt. Vernon recruit has
something that will warrant his re-
tention during the remainder Of Che
season.

Tennis
Tournament Will Be Held In
This City
Tourney To Start On Tues
day August 29
And viii Continue Through
That Week
Play viii Be On The Round
Hill Court
Men And Ladies' To Take
Part In Tournament

At meeting of the committee in
charge of the proposed city tennis
tournament, held at the Y. M. G. A.
building Wednesday evening, it was
decided that the tourney should start
the morning of Tuesday, August 20 and
continue through that week 1t was
deemed advisable that the finals be
played off on Labor Day. The tourna-
ment will be played on the Curtis court
at Round Hill.
It was determined upon that an en-
try fee of SO cents be exacted from
all contestants, the same to go for
trophies, the exact nature of which
has not yet been fully decided. 1t is
planned to issue tickets, the same to
admit the holders to all of the games,
at price of twenty-five cents.
1t is estimated that, in the mems
singles, there will be between twenty
and twenty five entries and that the
number of those entering the ladies'
singles will be between ten and fifteen.
Mixed doubles will also be played,
the same, II present plans are carried
out, to consist of the winners and
runners-up in the mems and ladies'
singles. The matter of having mems
doubles was discussed Wednesday
evening but nothing definite was
done.
1t was decided that the matter OF
handicaps could be settled only by
running off preliminaries and thus
getting "a good line on the playing abil
ity of each entrant. These started
Thursday morning and will continue
through the week, until everyone has
played. 1t is hoped that the work OF
arranging the handicaps can be
started Saturday evening thought II
appears doubtful If all who enter the
tourney will find it agreeable to play
in the preliminaries before then.
The enthusiasm and interest dis
played all over town is indeed graft
flying to those who originally took the
matter up and 1t is hoped that thi:
enthusiasm, will vent itself in an un
expectedly large number of entries
and fine attendance at all of tn,
matches.

The Centerburg Gas e Oil company
has commenced suit in the court
of common pleas of Knox county
against the Upham Gas Company IN
which a judgment in the sum of ST.
019.08, is asked.
The plaintiff states that on April /,
1910, the defendant purchased from
the plaintiff certain gas wells, lines,
etc, and agreed to pay for the same
certain sum set forth in a contract.
The allegation is made that the wells,
lines etc., were delivered over to the
plaintiff, but that there is still bal
ance coming from the defendant, the
amount of which is $2,019.0S, and
which sum the defendant has failed
and neglected to pay.
The further allegation is made by
the plaintiff that the defendant closed
the gate valves in such a manner as to
prevent the proper flow of gas and
that damage has been brought about
to the lines of the plaintiff and the
plaintiff would therefore ask for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000.
In addition the plaintiff asks for an
injunction restraining the defendant
from obstructing the gas lines by
means OF closing the gate-valves or
preventing free flow of gas from the
meter station of the plaintiff to the

He said that while the evil was not
so prevalent in America as in Euro

ta1ned alarming proportions in the Uni

American Medical association and the
profession at large to take a firm stand
against the use of intoxicating drinks.
These women, he said, give birth to
monstrosities. Eminent physicians from
every part of the country heard him.
They sat, a quiet and interested body
