SMITH and CRACIN
WIN ON COURTS
Several Surprises Sprung
at Tourney of the
9TH Regiment.

Still showing evidence of too much
turkey at the Christmas dinner, the
members of the TIN Regiment began
the second days play in their annual
tournament for the regimental lawn
tennis championship. If some of them
did not cavort so lightly about the
courts as usual, IL was because they
had not yet regained their "sea legs"
The feature of the day was the de-
feat of A. NJ. Lovibond, the regimental
champion, and Walter Merrill Hall, a
former holder of the title, in the first
round of the doubles. King Smith and
arthur S. Cragin, playing, slashing
game at the net, took Lovibond and
Hall into camp by a score of 6--3,
ca. The result was a decided sur
prise. as the losers are both rated
higher than Smith and his partner.
Arthur Cragin also was victorious in
the second round Of the doubles in
Class A. defeating T. A. Bruno by a
score of Cd, 6-1. Cragin covered his
court too fast for Bruno, who wasted
much energy in trying 20 meet the well
placed ball. Bruno made the mistake
Of sending the ball high over the net,
and thus rendered il easy for Cragin
to smash his way to victory
In the other match In the Class A
doubles X. X. Tomiln and G. G. Moore
defeated j. +. Acker and ]. l.. Ander-
son by score of GO, 60. The team
work OF the winning pair left few open
ings in the court. and Acker and his
partner were not able to bring off their
passing shots at the net.
Smith and Cragin played together as
though they had INDUCED in plenty of
preliminary practice, rarely interfering
with one another. while their attack at
the net was brilliant. Smiths speed in
whipping 'cross-court shots just over
the net and Cragin's killing of lobs
supplied the sensational features OF the
matcn. ,
The summaries follow:

A most charming weekend dancing
frock started for Lenox last Saturday,
afternoon. A slightly puckered basque
of corn-colored pussy willow silk but
toned down the back from decolletage
to hip. and below this basque six
corn-colored silk skirt. A sash Of
soft old-blue satin was knotted around
the hips. sloping downward toward the
back. and little bolero of lace was
| shade. This bolero was in two sec
tions. extending over the basque only
three inches from the armholes at front
and back. The armholes are finished
with q facing. and there was absolutely
no hint of a sleeve. Bronze slippers.
natural silk matched this modish frock.
The dancing frock may be high or
as low at the neck as its wearer
pleases. but il may not have sleeves.
Arms are entirely bare from shoulder
to wrist. and gloves are seldom worn
at dancing parties-never at dinner.
