% Tennis With OanvI|le
Racquet WIeIders
Results 10 Victory For Mt.
Vernon Team
Round nlII Court Scene Of
Interesting Matches

The champions Of eastern Knox
county, otherwise the Danville tennis
team, consisting Of Messrs. Jefferson
and Senft, met defeat at the hands Of
Rodney Morrison, Jr., and Allen sapp.
representing Mt. Vernon, at the Round
Hill tennis court Saturday afternoon.
Danville sprung q surprise in the
quality of their play and appeared
much more formidable than had been
anticipated. Their style Of tennis puz.
zled the local boys and 1t was difficult
for them ITO connect up, as 1t were,
for time. Danville's game consisted
in its entirety Of returning every bail,
making no effort to stroke" or place,
and biding their time until the ball
was eventually knocked out Of the
court by Mt. Vernon. They we're very
cramped in their playing and
merely "patted" the bali but It
had its result in that they took the
first set of doubles by a score Of 6.3.
BY this time Morrison and Sapp got
used to the easy returns and also set
tied down In their teamwork, thing
which was very ragged In the first set
They made short work of the next two
sets, winning 6.3 and 6-2.
Morrison, after letting two games
get away from him, won his first set
of singles with Jefferson by a score of
6-3. The second set he took in even
shorter order 60.
Sapp and Senft fought long and hard
in their match. Time after time the
ball would be in play for twenty
strokes before either would err in his
aim. The scores Of 90 and 6.4 are
hardly indicative of the closeness of
the contest as the majority of the
games ran into deuce" and once
this deuce" was played for nearly
Ave minutes, before Senft won. Sapp
did not put up his best game and sp.
peared uncertain of his play during
the entire contest. His returns did not
possess the usual amount of speed but
were as a general rule very well
placed. Senft's vistory was due to
his steadier game.
Morrison and Sapp will meet dur
ing this week team got up by the
campers at Camp Sychar; the Gam.
bier team composed Of Adams and
Stoyle and, In all probability, the
Mansfield team on next Saturday.
It Is planned now to have this lat.
ter match played on the Round Hill
court instead Of on the Kenyon Col.
lege courts at Gambler as was first
thought Of. The former court has
been gone over thoroughly. the weeds
taken out, the grade made level and
the stones removed. It now presents
q very good ground for play. It 10
feared, however, that Mansfield may
bring three or more players and In
that event 1t would be absolutely nee.
essary to have two courts.

Sante Fe. New Mexico, Aug. 8.
Dearest Mother:--
! received your letter that you
sent to the Springs, but I suppose
forwarding card would have to bring
your next in pursuit Of me.
We are on an advertising trip car.
rying in our auto accessories of every
kind and making sales out. Of the car.
Can you imagine me sitting in the
plaza, or square. of the oldest town
IN the United States and writing this!
We left Las Vegas last evening at
about four o'clock and had very de.
lightful ride over a mountain path,
and at about nine o'clock, we camped
for the night Had a fine meal and
slept like a log. This morning we
started and ran for about forty miles
through the U. 8. Forest Preserve,
which was some ride. We passed the
old Pecos church which is the Oldest
house in the U. 8. It is made OF
adobe, or mud bricks, made with
straw and the walls are eight feet
thick. At my back is the historical
society building which was the Span.
ish governors house when New Mex
leo was province. II Is now used
partly as a museum. Cliff and | ex.
plored 1t and saw any quantity of
relics of the Cliff Dwellers, Aztecs and
Pecos Indians, also some of the pot.
terry and queer utensils made of bone
by the pueblos. Every foot of ground
has a romantic history connected
with 1t, and we have had old.time
bad men BY the score pointed out to
us on the streets, all along the line
since We left Denver.
We are following the old Sante Fe
trail that was used by the gold seek
ers In 1849. In some places 1t is 40
feet wide and the ruts are sometimes
as much as four feet deep: will be
able to tell you q great deal about
things we see that can't even begin
to write about. Nine-tenths Of tho
people here are Mexicans and about
seven houses out Of ten are adobe.
We leave here at I o'clock this AZ.
ternoon and are going to run out
about IS miles to Lava Hill which is
a solid mountain Of lava. We are
going to camp there tonight and get
the sunrise view tomorrow and then
run into Albuquerque.
! could write page after page Of the
grandeur Of the scenery and the
beauty of the mountain flowers and
rocks. but haven't the time or the
stationery to do 1t now.
There is an old adobe church here
In the heart of Sante Fe that is over
300 years old.
Cliff is all eyes and ears and is hav.
ing the time of his life.
He is very much disappointed in
not getting a letter from his people
here. but I suppose there was some
delay. If you could only be with me
to see some of the beautiful sights 1t
would please me more because
know how you would enjoy them.
Must go now as the Peon has
brought the meal, SO will say good
bye for this time.
Your loving son,
