FIGHT GOES FOUR SETS

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Aug Play
Ing the most brilliant and consistent
tennis ever seen on a local court,
Doc Smith o. Fayette, Missouri,
successfully stormed the last OBJ
stacle between himself and champion
ship honors in the singles of the
Three States" tourney yesterday
afternoon
After two hours of determined re-
sistance and attacks, Taylor of OF
tunwa, yielded to the rapid fire game
OF his opponent and the dopists were
justified. Smith had come through
with clean slate
Smith played a cracking game. De-
Evering his first ball with precision
which often put it within the tape,
the Fayette star followed right through
TO the net where bis work was al
most deadly. With surprising wrist
work, the powerful lawfords of Tay-
Tor were handled the returns often
unreachable or SO placed as to demand
hard try.
The Doctors ability to anticipate
Iayior's returns was strong aid to
his defensive game and when attack
ing he also out-maneuvered the Of
tumwan. Many times he had Taylor
cross the court to lay his return near
the opposite corner and only the
spectacular rallies of the runner-up
saved POINTS. On speed and foo.
work the merits belong to the victor.
Taylor, on the other hand, opened
with service which when true, was
good for an ace every time Smash
ing the first ball with the entire pow
er of his body netted the Packer
many points, for Smiths attempts at
return were nearly always Intellectual.
The second ball was more powerful
than that of Smiths but the Ottumwan
was bothered during the opening sets
by his service Of numerous doubles
Taylor played the back court game
continually, resorting to a lawford
return along the lines. The speed
and accuracy with which his front and
back hand strokes broke for him was
a marvel to the gallery.
The games opened with each wild at
service but shooting in dashing man
ner. Smith captured the first set with
u SSolc, diluOuSu Iuc pOlQtS were
card fought. With recouped forces
Taylor stiffened his front in the Sec
ond set, forcing the winner to ten
games for a Ga loss. The third set
was triumph for Taylor, ca, and the
gallery murmured its wonder as to a
break in the play of the doper's IA
vorite. The long grill and stampede
through the lesser lights during the
trst OF the week was beginning to
tell, said some. When the fourth set
opened their doubts seemed verified,
for Taylor annexed the first two
games. A slow up in the play Of each
was noticeable, more prominently,
however, in Smith. The recession was
OF short duration, however, for with a
return of the form which had ac-
companied him throughout the week,
Smith closed the gap to A and then
with comparative ease took the final
two games, deciding set and honors
in the mems singles of the Three
State association.

Sporting Views
BY the Editor

The sport scribe on the Clinton
Herald, in a complimentary mood
boosts our new man Arlington a.
follows, to-wit: Arlington, the new
second baseman that the Indians got
from the Kansas state league. is a
joke. He looked like an amateur in
tho field in the first game of the
series, while his triple was duke.
It ought to have been only good for
single.
That's what he said, but he seems
to like our man Hensling, for quoting
the same author: That man Hensling
OF the Indians is sure some sticker at
that. He is leading the league in hit
ting and from the way he clouted the
ball on the nose the last two times
here he has a perfect right to that
distinction. A western league team
is after him and it IS more than like
Iy that he will be sold before the
draft season opens.
Now that we've finished up with
Clinton, Cedar Rapids is the next stop.
The three games there are the last
of the season with the Bunnies.

TAMPA STARTS A RAT CRUSADE

The local Board of Health s
everyone to kill every rat that comes
under their observation, and looking
to this end City Manager D. F, NC
Leod a few days ago issued an order
totbis effect in order to keep down
all danger of bubonic plague, which
now infests New Orleans and which
could be spread to any part OF the
country by infected rats stored away
in freight. Tampa authorities have
instigated a rat crusade as will be
noted by the following article taken
from this mornings Tribune:
+ Tampa is to adopt added pre-
cautions against the introduction of
bubonic plague into this city.
"The city council last night, on
motion of Councilman Etzler, au-
thorized Mayor Mckay TO incur
whatever expense he shall deem nee
essary in safe guarding the commun-
ity in this regard. The councilman,
suggesting the propriety of renewed
vigilance in connection with the sit
uation, referred to the approach of
the tourist season and directed at
tention to the fact, as he understood
it, that the introduction of the
plague to the city would be ruinous
from a business standpoint.
"The mayor was present, with a
view, he stated, to confer with men,
bers of the council on this matter of
public concern. He stated that the
rat killing crusade had proved to be
disappointing in it's results and stat
ed that he recognized the need of
additional and organized efforts in
matters of sanitation and the killing
of the rats, which are regarded as
the greatest menace in the matter of
carrying and distributing the plague.
The policy of the city administra-
tion will include the organization of
number of working squads to clean
up the district bordering the Hills
borough river and the wharves, and
it is not improbable that the bounty
which has been offered for dead rats
