However the tennis committee

use every reasonable effort to get
few strong players. B. M Grant

While they are there they will at

THERE will be no dearth Of en-
tries for the championship. The
fact that no Northern or Eastern
stars will appear in the tourna-
ment will make 1t peculiarly at
tractive TO Southern players, who
haven't entered very freely of late,
owing to the fact that there were
always a few players with whom
they had no chance. This year
the tournament should be as open
as key Of beer, and there is
bound to be a big entry from New

In the derby he ran like a doped

n ONDON, ENGLAND, June IA.
What promises to be the
worst scandal of the British
turf in ten years became known
when the sporting weekly, The
Looking Glass, announced that
Sweeper II. the American colt
which started favorite In the re-
cent derby, was doped before the
race.
significant fact in connection
with the dope story was that H B.
Duryea dismissed Danny Maher,
who rode Sweeper II, and en-
gagged frankie O'Neill, another
American boy. to pilot Sweeper II
in the remainder of his stake en-
gagements.
An investigation shows that, in
the opinion of large number Of
racing men Sweeper II was doped
Duryea's trainer is unable to ac-
count for the miserable showing of
the colt. 1t is suspected that two
or three bookmakers who stood to
lose fortunes on a Sweeper II vic
tory know more about the doping

 The police were never so busy as they were yesterday and last night among the ebony hued gentry of the Magic City; nigritic damsels, passion ately wooed by xanthic colored swains were the cause of many complaints emanating from Darktown.
 Policemen Harrison and Hawkins, Southside scouts. ever ready to lend aid to the gentler sex, were called hither and thither by grievances, both real and imaginary. Sergeant of Police Donelson at the chiefs office was also worried to great extent by telephone calls in the "wee sma 'oors O the marn,' asking for the aid of the finest.
 About o'clock yesterday morning the telephone rang. Sergeant Donelson answered it in his customary debon- naire way.

HOLD CONFERENCE
 ON BOWLING LEAGUE
Starnes Returns From New Orleans and States Matter Is
 Postponed

B. NJ. starnes of the Athletic club re- turned yesterday afternoon from New Or leans where he went to confer with the officials of the New Orleans Y. M. G. C. about arranging a bowling game to he reported by wire and about shooting the New Orleans rifle shooters a match. After comforting with them the bowling match which was scheduled to have been played on February3l was postponed indefinitely and nothing definite was done over the rifle shooting matter.
 For some time previous to the confer ence the Athletic club and the Y. NJ. G. C. had been corresponding with each other about a bowling match to be played be- tween the Birmingham bowlers and the New Orleans bowlers and to be reported by wire. Then the two clubs decided to have bulletins sent to the respective clubs after each frame had been bowled How ever. the New Orleans people wanted a leased wire placed in each club and the results were to be wired immediately. Secretary Miles thought that this would he toe expensive and decided to call the meet off
 B. M. Starnes, an enthusiastic rifle shooter, also tried to arrange a rifle match between the two club teams and 10 have the results reported by wire im- mediately after tue game. Nothing was done over this matter. which is now under consideration in New Orleans.

YANTz IS HOLDING FOR MORE SALARY Molesworth States Many Contracts Are Signed
 for Opening

George Yantz, the second bacl<stop and utility man on the Barons of 1911, has taken a stubborn stand for more salary, and from all indications will probably hold out for some time. Last year Yantz filled in nicely when the other players were out with iiuries, and received much favorable comment among the sporting writers and the fans.
 Manager Molesworth seemed to appreci- ate this. and at the beginning Of this season sent him the contract with a raise of S25 over last years figure. 'The man. ager was expecting him to send in the contract with his John Henry" thereon but he received a surprise.
 Instead of signing he came back with a demand for $75 plunks more in addition to the s25. Manager Molesworth said that he could not afford to pay this, and if the backstop does not sign up he will probably not play on the Baron team. It is thought, however, that he is just stall ing" for premium, and that by the time March 10 comes he will take a train for Birmingham from Louisville, Ky. his home.
 The robust manager said vest erday that everything was coming along nicely with the other boys, and that Johnston had come across. All of the new recruits have signed contracts and the manager states that he will not buy any more players un- til he looks over hts youngsters. The only deal pending after the transfer of Hanna to Selma and Wagner to the New York State league is that of Speer. The man ager is dickering with several clubs over his disposal. but if the deal fails he will be brought back to Slagvlle.

 The above ad will about hit the feelings of several parties who were made the goats in a practical joke last night.
 A riot call was telephoned to police headquarters to come at once to 72I South Eighteenth street. Detective liar ry Jones, Policemen Brent Eagle Rock Hawkins, Jeff" Darnell and Palmer. together with newspaper re- porter, were piled up in the police au- tomobile and hurried to the scene,
 As they went speeding down Eigh- teenth street they espied an indistinct blur in the distance. about where they thought they were going. At first they thought that 1t was crowd who had gathered there as the news of some awful crime had spread.
 Palmer opened up the auto another notch,
 They dashed up at 727 South Eigh- teenth street and there they found Gaudins ambulance, Dr. Ransom in his automobile taxicab, two horse cabs, one dray and seven messenger boys.
 Each of them swore that he had re- ceived hurry up call to the place and had come about as quick as his conveyance would allow. Every door and window of the house was tried, but no one could be awakened. It was finally discovered that there was no one in the house.

LOOK FOR PRICE OF . STEEL ID 60 HIGHER Railroads Must Place Addi- tionalLarge Orders for
 Equipment

New York, February 1S.-The steel mills are deriving considerable satisfaction from the general belief that the rail roads must place additional large orders for equipment in the near future Ca pacity of the largest mills is already well sold and consequently ideas of higher prices are entertained. On the other hand, it is inferred from the claim that the car manufacturers have given op- lions on 25oo0 cars at close to the min imum prices that prevailed last year, that some extremely low prices for fin ished steel products have been made. Although contracts were placed last week for only HOO cars. orders for 25,OoC additional are pending. and the New York Central and the Pennsylvania are un- derstood to be preparing specifications for 15,OO0 to 20,000 and the St. Louis and Southwestern and miscellaneous lines will probably order 500O additional. making total of 5oc0o cars likely to be or dered in the next few months.
 Rail contracts aggregated 7S.o00 tons including 25.0O0 tons for the Northern Pacific. 12,Ooo tons for the Norfolk and Western and l6Goo tons for ,export to Australia. Contracts for nearly 150.0oC tons more are pending. Steel building orders called fo. 22.0o0 tons of fabri- cated shapes and about 5000 tons addi- tior al are pending. of the total fab ricated orders placed the railroads or dered about 75oo tons The Western Union Telegraph company building in New York, which is to be erected in sections that call for an aggregate of Il o00 tons of steel is again before the fabricaters
 Extreme dullness continued in the pig iron trade throughout the country.
