The Point Judith polo season which has
Just closed was the most successful in the
amount Of play and number Of players that
America has ever seen. The high standard

competition, as was the case in 1910, speaks
well for the healthy condition Of the sport

pleasing compliments from players from

IL is thousand pities that the greatest
lawn tennis tournament ever held i'm this
country in the way Of numbers and one
may say quality. should have been marred
al the end by the incessant rain. Judging
by the record number of entries this year
some means must De devised. if such d
thing is possible, TO limit those who are
anxious to test their skill in competition
for the national title. DIT Dwight says he
has racked his brain in vain in an effort 10
think out plan that will make the field
less unwieldy and less cumbersome. All
must agree with him that any restrictions
must be made with the greatest care as
there is reason 10 be fearful OF any action
that would discourage the younger play
crs To my way of thinking the singles
might be handled in much the same way
rs the doubles-by holding sectional tour
naments IN four parts Of the country
Ten men could qualify in these elimination
tests TO fight IL out at Newport, or wher-
ever the national tournament was held.
and so open the way to even greater par
ticipation without bringing about the I'M
wieldy field Of 102 play ers that faced the
committee this year.

MONSTER PETITION IN ITS
FAVOR COMES FROM EUROPE.
The Moral Support OF the Prohibitionists
of Great Britain and Continent Given
the Friends of Temperance in
theOldPine TreeSt

Boston, July THAT many Europ-
and temperance advocates are keenly
interested in the contest over the pro-
posed repeal of constitutional prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic in the State of
Maine, is indicated by the receipt in
this city of a composite petition bear
ing volumes of names enrolled in
Europe and urging a popular vote for
the retention of the prohjbitory
amendment in the Maine constitution
at the special election to be held In
September.
The petitions. which bear the title
IAN Appeal to the Maine People" have
been widely circulated throughout
Europe and the signatures include
those of leading men in, civic and po-
litieal life as we'll as officials of labor
and other organizations representing
memberships running into the hun
dreds of thousands.
The appeal, originated by the Inter-
national Prohibitionist Federation. al
so has received the signatures of we'll
known citizens of the United States.
The petitions emphasize what the
signers consider the Importance of re-
tanning prohibition in Maine particu
larly because it forms not merely a
statute, but is typical of one method of
dealing with the alcohol problem.
The documents are not complete. but
those which have come to hand have
been forwarded to a special commit
tee in Maine.

last session before the fight, as the two
little fellows will rest tomorrow. Both
men are in fine condition, so both
managers declare and so declare the
hundreds of men who went to the
beach to see Wolgast and Moran.
Wolgast pranced out on the hard
beach road at o'clock this morning
like young colt and galloped eight
miles without the slightest sign of dis
tress. After a short go at shadow
boxing. he lounged until lunch time,
renewing his work early in the after
noon. Hobo" Dougherty furnished
amusement for four rounds of fast
punching. Dougherty. who has con-
siderable hitting ability was whacked
about like a straw man, Wolgast keep

jahbing his face.
Moran put in a slower but none the
less strenuous day.
