MORE INTEREST IN TENNIS
Prospects of BiG Court Matches Are
Numerous.

Prospects of big Court Matches Are
Numerous.
The Jubilation felt at the challenge of
the South Africans for the Davis cup and
the entrance Of the German players in the
all-Engiish tournament is caused by the
prospect this affords Of there being even
more interest aroused in the game than
exists at the present time.
The all-English championship will be
watched with more than the usual inter-
est this season for besides the four Ameri-
can players who will compete. and the
Englishmen. there will be the Australian,
South African and German teams. giving
the tournament a decidedly international
aspect.
In a rather lengthy article, which APP
peared in an English magazine recently
P. A. Vale Of Australia, sets forth that
there is a retrogression in the quality Of
the English players. He attempts TO cite
the reason for this.
Followers Of the game of tennis will I'M
doubtedly remember the famous Doherty
brothers OF England. They truly were fin
ished players, and since their retirement
from the game Mr.. Valle insists that the
players in England have deteriorated in
stead Of having become better, He at
tributes this to the fact that the English
men have been following the wrong track
in developing their prowess. He says that
the English game. las It was played there
years ago). is now to be found only in
the United States and Australia
Mr.. Vale goes on to state that the chief
fault he finds is in the grip now In vogue
among English players. He says that this
grip permits the players TO use almost any
kind OF stroke without changing tbs
position Of their hands on the rackets. He
claims that there are any number of diff
ferent grips which must be brought into
play at various times during contest
and for use In different strokes
Although Mr.. Wales criticism may b.
correct fundamentally, and 1t is true tina
England cannot boast as many prominent
young players as does this country still
his advise is anything but welcome on tn
British Isles. coming as it does, from prae
tically q foreigner.

Beatrice Notes.

BEATRICE. Neb., June S-(Special AT
a meeting OF the Gage County Auto club

The most important work of the associa-
ton is to superintend the dragging Of roads
connecting the towns OF the county. The
law in Nebraska imposes a special tax of
81 per day on every automobile. With
three hundred automobiles In the county
the tax from this source would amount to
$780, One-half OF this amount will be
spent in dragging the roads during the
year. d. Z. Watkins OF Omaha, secretary
of the state association, was present and

NEW YORK, June 8.-Australia not only

swimmers, but the latest mail brings the
accounts Of wonderful young high jumper.
He is only schooIhey being a student at

He is able to clear the bar any day at

being feet, to the credit of e. K Russell
of Tasmania. The youngsters name is
Lester h Kelly and he is feet lO% inches
tall. and weighs 100 pounds. An instantan-
eous photograph OF the jumper taken Just
as he was crossing the bar when at s feet

with his legs tucked up under him, which
means that he has several inches to gain

like Leland Scott and Ralph Rose, who
maintained the form right through 10 the
years of manhood. In the high jumping
there are a long string of notable in
stances where the boy wonders did not de-

'90s when Baltazzi did over feet every

manhood came in due course but Il was
strange that Baltazzi could not soar as

and sensationalists figured that sweeney's

John Paul Jones is

ITHACA, ". y, June 8,-Another John

Of gold on history's pages-John Paul

It is not so many years ago that his fam

life" was the Doctors verdict. An ath-
letic course OF treatment was suggested,
ara this peerless athlete OF today bears
little resemblance TO the stooped-over. hol-
low-cheeked weakiing OF short time ago.
Al home he was always an excellent
student. He prepared for college at Exeter,
where he established an enviable reputa-
ton as a middle-distance runner. Despite
the fact that both Harvard and Yale soon, s
had their weather-eye out for the lad he
headed for the college on the shores Of
Lake Cayuga-
He has been entered IN three intercol-
Iegiate contests this season and has won
the mile in each affair. In the big meet
at Cambridge recently he established q
new amateur world's record for the mile.
His time was I;15as. a NTH OF a second
faster than that made by Tom Conneff At
Travers Island. N. T., IN August Of 1895.
When Conneff ran the mile S;1sk. he ran
his first half in 2;Os fiat The speed OF
Jones can best be appreciated when It IL
realized that he ran the last 40 yards OF

on the courts OF the Philadelphia Cricket

The women OF the Morristown Field club
have undertaken the first Of the important
tournaments in which more than sixty
five of the leading players In this section
Of the country have been asked to take
part. Not only this. but IL is probable
that during the tournament an effort will
be made to form a national auxiliary
committee OF women to act with the
United States National Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION in its direction OF the game.
Such a movement, in order to develop
women's play in this country to the same
level which It enjoys in England. France
and Germany. was discussed at the in

March.
Never in the history OF the game in
this country has there been any concerted
action toward establishing the women 6

As one OF the leaders stated. the women
who are members of the various clubs

The playing Of Monte Waterbury and
Devereaux MiIburn also showed lack of
proper training, but the latter overcame
this when he warmed UP to the game.
Those In a position to see the effect of
Captain Whitney's training regulations
upon the men declared that they will all
probably be in topnotoh condition when
the second match starts.
H. L. Herbert, chairman of the Polo as
ISOLATION, which is backing up Captain
Whitney, said this afternoon that so far
as is known now. no changes will be made
In the lineup of either team for that game.
He said, however, that If any substitute
appears on the American team It will be
Foxall Keene and not Malcolm Stevenson,
or L. S. Stoddard, as has been rumored.
The rumor that 8, b. Buckmaster. the
| crack ten goal civilian player, will arrive
here from England Monday to add strength
to the British team. was not believed by
Mr.. Herbert. He said Buckmaster had
not notified him of any intention to come
| over here and. so far as he knew he was
still in England. Neither Of the teams did
more than little mallet work and light
riding today.
They are saving themselves and their

TENNIS TOURNEY IS DOUBTFUL
NO Match Likely to ne Held for the
Davis Cup.

NEW YORK, June S.--Again. early in the
season, the prospects OF there being inter-
national tennis matches for the Davis cup
are dwindling. From an official note from
London received in this country it appears
that South Africa, which challenged as
nation for the first time, is likely to de-
fault. England. or. as the cup conditions
put 1t, the British Isles, is finding It diff
cult to secure players willing to journey
to Australia. Controversy there Is becoming
heated as the advice OF a majority OF the
leaders is against sending a team and In
curing the expense unless the top class
players are willing to go. The prospect Of
the United States sending a team, is gen
orally regarded as uncertain
