The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-05-05

The publication of a sensational
dispatch in the City of Mexico papers
that the Mexican army by brilliant
coup had captured Ell Paso, Texas,
routed the American troops and had
compelled the conquered inhabitants
to cede one-half the city to them as
the price for vacating the other half,
almost suggests that Hearst himself
may be operating paper in the
Mexican capital. If he isn't he ought
to send for the Mexican whose fam
ing imagination conceived that dis
patch and make him chief of the war
staff for the Hearst publications.
What MILAN Randolph wants is
the stuff that will sell his papers, re-
gardless of anything so dull and
so commonplace as mere truth and
fact.

The death of General Daniel f.
Sickles in New York yesterday closed
a long and stormy and picturesque
career and marked the end of one
of the gamest fighting men the nine
teenth century gave to the world.
From the time he killed the seducer
of his wife before the civil war I'M
til death played the final trump he
was in trouble of some kind or 9TH
er pretty nearly all the time and his
superb nerve was equal to every
emergency He was not a man to
love and he didn't pose as an ex-
emplar, but those who admire a
fighter, pure and simple, can find
their hero in grim old Dan. He was
about the last Of the notable gen.
erals on the Union side of the civil
war and, at Gettysburg. where he
lost a leg, he won enduring fame.

Newport. R. l.. Aug. s1--History re- peated itself on the Casino courts to- day when Maurice B. Mclaughlin of San Francisco. and R. Norris Will Hams End. of Philadelphia. won their places in the finals of the all-comers tournament of the national singles lawn tennis championship.
 The betting tonight was to that Mclaughlin would capture the title tomorrow for the third time. The odds were somewhat shorter on Williams ability to take set from the cham pion as he did in the finals last year.
 Mclaughlin secured his place in the finals by defeating Former Champion William J. Clothier of Philadelphia in straight sets, G-4. GA. 6-3. Williams came through with a similar victory over Ella Fottreu of San Francisco, 6-4, 6-3. 6-2.
 Of the two winners, the playing, of Williams was the more impressive. He handled FottrelPs terrific service, the most severe seen in Casino courts this year, not excepting that of McLough- lin. fearlessly. It took him nearly

Directum Paced Two Heats in Two
 Minutes Flat on Grand Circuit.

Syracuse, N. Y.. Aug. 31--Directum l. the chestnut stallion owned by James Butler. New York city, and driven by Robert Snedeker, furnished the sensa- ton of the opening days programme at the grand circuit races here today by establishing two new worlds records and equalling the pacing race record or two minutes established by Williams at Grand Rapids earlier this season.
 In winning theffree for all pace val ued at $5,000. Di-ectum stepped the last two Of three heats in two minutes flat, beating Frank Bogash in each. Frank Bogash won the first heat in POP 1-2. By pacing in two minutes in the third heat, Directum broke the record of 200 1-2 established by Star Pointer in Springfield, H., in 1897. The average time of the winner gives him the worlds race record of more than one heat.
 The meeting was not without other features, in that Star Winter, the trot- ter driven by Lon Mcdonald, lost his first heat of the season today. He also lost the race, the 2.10 trot, Marta Bel lini nosing him out in the stretch Of three straight heats.
 An amateur race for two year old colts valued at $2,500 proved a good contest, Ernest I. White winning with Eudora Spejr by Directum Speir.
 Lee Axwofthy had things his own way in the three year old stake. Leila Patchen won the final race, the 2.13 pace, after five heats. No horse won more than two heats but because of the Syracuse conditions the race was terminated at the end of five heats

MoLouGHLIN A SPARTAN
 IN REGARD TO TRAINING.
The Champion Does Not Combine Tennis With HighbalIs and Cis- arettes. ffk


 Sectional rivalry has famed afresh pearance of Mclaughlin, Bundy, and Long in 1909. It is now no secret that Dean Mathey and George M. Church were carefully coached as to how to beat Mclaughlin and Bunry in the challenge match for the national dcubiec title decided Tuesday.

 It is admitted by those who most Dit terly resent the Califorrfians anne1ing every worthwhile piece of silver on the courts that the boys from the Pa cific Coast have taught many valuable lesons. Mclaughlin is a Spartan for training. He does not mix tennis with cigarettes highballs, and socia1 fes- tivities. It Is the same way with Mur- ray, who for three years held the place of the star half miller on the Leland Stanford University track team. Nur- ray is a trained athlete, every inch prostration after a hard fve-set match but that is due to an athletic heart The use of a predometer has proved that there are over five miles of foot work in a three-set match, so it is no wonder that aromatic spirits Of am- monia are in demand when the limit sessions on the courts with deuce and vantage games have to be decided Fottrell likewise eschews late hours and the festive amusements which are more or less a feature of all of the tournaments. a

YALE IN TWO srADluMs,
The Blue Will Play at Princeton ( Week Before Christening the "Bowl,"

There is triple incentive for Head Coach Frank Hinkey to have a cham p1on football team at Yale this fall. Not only the honor of beating liar yard and Princeton is at stake, but there will be two famous stadiums to open in which the Yale team will play a prominent part. There's nothing like an initial win on new field to forever bar the jinx from that par ticular arena.
 Yale will f-r+ ' cen in the new Palmer stad .'rinceton against the Tigers r semi final game of the year -ie S300,0O necessary Tor the Tiger stadium was donated by Edgar Palmer of the class of 1904 now president of the New Jersey Zinc company. It is possible this field will be ready before the Yale game this fall. but more than likely the big opening will be saved for the annual classic between the Bulldog and the Tiger.
 Then, scarcely a week afterward, Yale opens her colossal stadium which will be known as the "Yale Bowl" and will have accommoda.- tions for 72,o00 spectators, soOOO of whom will be comfortably seated. It is planned to make Harvard the goat on this occasion, but then Brickley may spill the beans by refusing to come on lame. Yale's plan is to play all or the games of the preliminary season on the old field and reserve the opening of the stadium for the big Yale-Harvard fight.
 George Carpenter has been assigned to the aviation corps in the French army, Gunboat Smith save the drop from an airship is wee bit longer than those the French champion has been accustomed to.
 Eddie Collins is the most valuable player in baseball and doesn't have to advance any claims along those lines. Possibly that is the reason the Jury of experts never has selected him for the honor,
