mission to Action.

Practically every park in Topeka
will have a tennis court at this time
next year. Municipal courts will be
mentioned in Park Commissioner
Porter's budget. Two courts will be
placed in Garfield and in Willow park
this summer wherever we put
one,'' said t1r. Porter, succinctly.
well put two"
Topeka is tennis mad. People play
before breakfast in the shady dawn.
They play in the morning when the
Kansas sun shines on the polished
racquets; the balls fly as swift as the
sunbeams. After five o'clock, when
the business men are reaching home,
nearly every court in the city is filled.
Country club people play; Wash
burn students play; girls join the Y.
w. and boys the Y. M. simply for the
use Of the courts Neighborhood
clubs are organized and private
courts maintained.
well undoubtedly have municipal
courts next summer" was Commis-
sioner Porter's cheering statement to-
day; I'VE need more in the city.
They'll be included in my general inn
provements. There ought to be two
in every park. Maybe I'll put one in
Holiday park at the intersection of
Taylor and Western. Everybody
seems to want courts"

Anderson of Lawrence In match.
Hurley played q good game but he
met his master. Anderson played q
better game and was in the same form
as displayed at Kansas City two weeks
ago. Anderson was three up on Hur-
ley in the first nine holes but Hurley
improved his playing and was even
with two to play. The men halved the
seventeenth hole and Hurley got in
trouble at the final hole.
Hurley drove over the green at the
final hole while Anderson's ball stopped
on the green. Hurley Overplayed the
next play and his ball stopped on the
edge of the hole while making the putt.
Anderson holed out and left Hurley's
ball on the brink.

ering in New York.
He Has Recovered Entirely
From the Jungle Fever.

New York, June 24.-The Imperator
with Colonel Roosevelt aboard will
reach quarantine at $50 o'clock this
evening. according to a wireless re-
Hamburg-American line. He would
dock, said the message, at $3.50, but
the cOmpany's officials realizing that
these times were conditional upon the
lifting of the fog, which has delayed
all shipping, were awaiting further ad-
vices this afternoon.
New York, June N.-The second
homecoming today OF Col. Roosevelt
within. two lonths. caused almost as
much of a stir among Progressive party
dent as did his first on May 19, from
South America Today as last month,
Col. Roosevelt's opinions on political
questions drew Progressive leaders to
this city and for some time the Roose-
welt planned OF leave the ship at quar-
scene OF many conferences.
From the Imperator came wireless
messages stating that Col Roosevelt
had spent much of his time since the
big liner sailed in working on a speech
he will deliver on June 80 at Pittsburg
He had entertained party of friends
at tea daily, the message added, and
had confined his period of exercise to
the early mornings.
While on the trip, Col. Roosevelt has
been under the care of DR.. Bossius, the
ships physician and appears to have
recovered entirely from the attacks of
fever which gave his friends much con-
Germ on his arrival here from South
America.
Fogs last night and early today were
expected to cause the Imperator to re-
duce her speed and she may not reach
quarantine until tonight. Col. Roose-
velt planned to laeve the ship at quar-
antine and go cirect to Oyster Bay on
board a yacht. Theodore Douglas Rob-
fnson, Progressive state chairman, and
George w. Perkins were the only party
leaders who expected to meet the COL
onel on the yacht and with him to
Oyster Bay. Mrs. Roosevelt also
planned to meet the traveller on the
yacht.
Despite Col Roossvelfss declaration,
before he left England. that he would
not be a candidate for governor Of New
York state, Chairman Robinson de-
clared today that he had not given up
hope and that he expected to be able to
persuade his uncle to make the race
The demand that Mr.. Roosevelt enter
the gubernatorial race will be carried
to Oyster Bay later in the week by

TO FORCE A FIGHT
Mexicans Have Resumed Snip

Huerta Thought To Be Trying
to Bring Intervention.

Washington, June 4.-Persistent
reports Of sniping by Mexican fed
erals on the American OutpOsts at
Vera Cruz and rumors of constitu-
tionalist further advances toward
Mexico City served today to stir inter-
est in the Mexican situation.
Although the war department will
make public no reports from General
Funston, regarding sniping on the
American forces, 1t is known that
there has been investigation of con-
tinued reports to that effect. There
have been many differences that
Huerta's forces were attempting to
provoke a fight with the American
troopers and force intervention.
