Mixed Doubles Interesting.

Several interesting matches in the mix
ed doubles We're also decided, the best
Of which was that in which Miss ingalls,
and Inman defeated Miss NJ. Smith and

Johnson's Work Disappointing.

Johnson's work in this tournament has
been quite a disappointment. The Qua
ker city player has shown some good ten
mis- while here, but has not displayed the
form expected of him. At times he plays
rather listlessly, apparently taking little
interest in the game. In his match yes
terday he made several gets of seemingly
impossible balls, but usually followed
these by driving to the net or outside of
the court linn, his partner. did not play
as we'll as he has in some Of his other
matches here. but his work was very
good. and he backed his partner up in
good shape and made several plays that
brought the gallery to its feet.
The first set was "see-saw'' affair. in
which first one side led. and then the
other. The Metropolitan pair took the
opening game. lost the next two. and
then took the fourth, making the count
2-all. They lost the fifth and had almost
lost the sixth. when a beautiful cross
court drive by 1nman gave his side life
and 1t finally won the game which was d
deuce one. Johnson and linn lost the
next game. but took the two following,
making the score 81. but they stopped
| right there, their opponents captured
the tenth, eleventh and twelfth In the
eleventh they had an excellent chance to
tie things UP. on three different occasions
being within q point of game. but each
time this much-needed point was not
forthcoming. The card for the first set
was:
Inman and Bull 242542 49,.
Johnson and Zinn-1 2 4 4 1-35

Fight Harder in Pinches.

The third and deciding set was also
good one. but the winners continued to
put up their best game, always fighting
harder in the pinches, and they came
out ahead. Ga, thereby earning the right
to meet the Doyle brothers this afternoon
in the challenge round for the title. AS
has been the case in all of his matches,
Inman's service proved puzzling to his
opponents. and he counted many points
because OF their ability 10 handle it.
Throughout the match he and Bull
showed excellent teamwork. covering the
court nicely and being always quick to
take advantage of any openings in their
opponents defense. The card for the
third set was:
Inman and Bull. 4 $50
johnson and Zinn. 80. 2 4 6 2-3l-4
Another good match in the same event
which was decided was that in the semi
final round. when Johnson and linn won
from Cuthbert Brown ann r. l.. James,
Ga. 3-6 and 81, being the final score.
James and Brown put up a beautiful
game against the visitors, and it looked
for a time as il they would win out. In
the third and deciding set they had
many opportunities. but were unable to
take advantage of them, because of the
brilliant work OF their opponents. On no
less than four occasions they were within
a single point OF victory, but each time
they lost the next point.

With the nomination Thursday OF
Miss Mary Carl Hurst. of 90 West
Twelfth street, as Atlantas prettiest
girl in the beauty button" contest,
this time honored question is
aroused:
Who are the fairer, blondes or
brunettes?
The issue is now concrete, for Miss
Merit Hancock, of Ponce DeLeon ave-
nue., already nominated, is a Won
derful blonde type, while Miss Hurst
has all the charm of the brunette.
Both of these young society girls
are already famous for their beauty
and before the close of the contest
the issue between blondes and bru-
nettes is likely to become acute.
The contest editor requests that all
companied with photographs and a
statement of whether or not the can
didates are blondes or brunettes. The
blank coupon published each day in
The Georgian shows how simple il is
to enter your favorite beauty. Cou-
pons will continue to appear until the
voting is ended.
The question of who is the prettiest
girl in Atlanta already is the talk Of
the town, a city famed for its beauti-
full girls and women. The rivalry is
especially intense because the girl
who gets the most votes will adorn
the buttons of the 800 600 booster

New RuIes-Steering Com
mittee Makes Up Calendar.

Two hours were consumed by the
State Senate Thursday morning in
hearing the report of President An
derson, chairman of the Rules Com
mittee, which recommended certain
changes in the rules designed to ia
cilitate the handling of business. The
full report of the committee was
adopted at the close of the session.
Among the new rules adopted was
that prohibiting Senators from smok-
ing or engaging in conversation of
any kind during the Senate sessions.
Another rule prevents filibustering,
while still another gives to the Steer
ing Committee power TO prepare the
calendar for the last seven days of
the present session. The last rule on
the program places the hour of meet
ing from 10 to l O'Clock, with auto
matte adjournment at l o'clock.
The most important committee re-
port made to the Senate Thursday
was that of the Temperance Com
mittee recommending Senator Scar
cy's prohibition bill with an amend

of the transporting company in case
of shipments of liquor in quantities
less than three gallons.
Secretary Young, of the Anti Saloon
League, who was present declared
the temperance people would fight
this amendment on the floor of the
Senate.
The Constitutional Amendments
Committee recommended the creation
Of Barrow County, which has already
passed the House.
The Education Committee will con-
slider the proposed free kindergarten
bill and the compulsory education bill
Thursday afternoon. This committee
probably will recommend special
tax and also a bond issue to meet the
