Hilltop Plays Hopkins
At Tennis Next Week

A dual tennis meet between George
town and Johns Hopkins, consisting of
two doubles and four singles. will be
played on the Hilltop courts next
Wednesday, all arrangements having
been completed this morning. These will
be the first contests on the Blue and
Gray schedule and should be well
played, for the Baltimoreans are ex-
perienced and travelling at top speed.
Johns Hopkins has supported tennis
for several years while the game is still
in its infancy on the Hilltop, so a VIC
tory for the Blue and Gray quartet will
do much toward establishing tennis as a
permanent sport at the local institution
The makeup of the West End team
is still undecided, as the elimination
contests which have been going on for
the past week have brought many SUR
Prises, and with further upsets prom
ised 1t will be impossible to select repre-
sentatives until Immediately before the
matches. Two men, however, are GER

tional form in the ante-seasOn perform

Some of the Best Horses on
the List Will Start
Today.

BALTIMORE, May IAN attractive
program of considerable class is offered
this afternoon at Pimlico. Six races are
on the card bringing out some Of the
best horses at the track.
For the opening event, q six furlong
dash, Queen Bee looks a real good
thing. This filly won her last three
starts at Norfolk. and in this kind of
company should prove unbeatable.
Deduction also was a winner at the
jamestown meeting and seems to be
one of the improving kind. She should
run into the place. Daingerfleld, from
the Ryan stable. may be dangerous.
The colt has been working well since
coming to Baltimore.
The second race brings out some OF
the best two-year-olds at the track
and will be in the nature of final
prep for the Clabaugh for several of
them.
Spring Maid, considered one of the
best youngsters in the Davies stable,
won her first start April 8, at Norfolk.
She afterward ran second to her stable
companion, Liberty Hall. at the James
town track, and probably could have
beaten him II the stable had so desired
Considering her advanced condition and
experience at the barrier. this one must
be given the preference.
In the race. however. are Lace and
Chiffon King. two of the most likely
candidates for the Clabaugh. Lace's
victory over Liberty Hall Saturday
makes the flly look very good here
and with that race under her belt. the
daughter of Fatherless will be hard to

four games

PROGRESS OF RACE is GIVEN
Position Of Speeding Automobiles
Shown by Electrical Score Board
at Santa Monica.

An electrically operated score board
was used for the first time in the his
story of auto road racing at Santa
Monica. BY means of this device, the
grand stand was kept informed as to
the position of the racers all along
the eight-mile course, as each car
number was painted on a sheet Of
metal which was moved along the
score board upon divisions that repre-
scented miles and half miles.
The operator of the board was In
formed as to the position of the
cars by means of telephones, tempo
rory stations having been erected at
.half-mile intervals. An operator was
placed at each station, and in Rddi-
ton to reports on progress Of cars he
sent in notification of tire or engine
trouble, of cars that dropped out OF
the race, and, most important of all
of accidents.
