Few girls from tho democratic ranks of
American life are given chance to win
a tennis match from Il foreign potentate.
And when 1t comes to matching one S
skill against that of SO august and eX-
elusive a royal parsonage as his majesty,
the Shah Of Persia, the opportunity is
rarer still.
TT happened this way says Miss
Lucy Russell. daughter of Charles Wells
Russell, present minister from the United
States to Persia We had a friend who
was one of the tutors of the present
shah. who. you know. is still under age
This friend, when he learned 1 was soon
to return to America. asked If l would
not like to try game of tennis with his
royal pupil. OF course / was pleased at
the opportunity and accepted the invita-
ton. l can truly say that the young
shah appeared to greater advantage dur
ing that game than at any other time
/ had the privilege of seeing him during
my stay In Persia With older people,
and on the occasions upon which he re-
ceives, the shah appears exceedingly DIFF
fident and austere. But on a tennis court
he shows all the informality, friendliness
and enthusiasm which you might expect
from the average youth In everyday life.
He Is exceedingly fond of the game and
plays it well. Did l win the match?
Perish the thought. That would have
been an objectionable breach Of etiquette,
even had / been a clever enough player.
Why, it would be very bad manners even
for the shah's younger brother. with
whom he often plays, to win game from
him.
You ask me to tell you something
about the Persian women. OF course we
found them fascinating. When they call
on foreigners in Teheran there is usually
some excitement in getting the men of
the household out of sight as quickly as
possible. For it would never do. If. when
in the presence of the ladies' on whom
she is calling. she should behold the face
of any male member Of the household or

Her cheeks grew pink as peonieS. the

trembling fingers she got a pen from the
battered desk and wrote her name. Joy

''WeIl. told him." Miss Tracy fercely
assured herself, "and it isn't my fault If

made a mistake I've got the order. And

ANOTHER VICTORY AT COURT
Injunction Restraining Marsans From Playing UphedMot
Important Decision Was Holding Ten-Day Clause to be
Vald-Case Will be Tried Merits

st. Paul. MINI. June 2.-organized
baseball won another victory tonight
when Federal Judge w. II. Sanborn
granted a temporary Injunction restrain
ing Armando Marsans, former Cuban
leftfelder of the Cincinnati Nationals
from playing with the st. Louis Federals
or any other ball club except Cincinnati
until the alleged breach of contract he Is
charged with has been tried in federal
court In st. Louis.
While the action is pending. Judge SAN
born ordered the Cincinnati Exhibition
company. owners of the club. TO give a
bond of $4,000 to indemnity Marsans for
any possible loss he might sustain as a
result of the injunction.
The validity of the ten-day clause in
organized baseball contracts was upheld
by Judge Sanborn. He based his decision
on the fact that Marsans accepted a con-
tract In writing In which the Cincinnati
club agreed to employ for specified
period at fixed compensation on oondi-

to discharge him on ten days notice. The
contract was valid and binding after
Marsans entered on the performances OF
the contract, and received the compensa-
ton, according to the terms of agree
menf. the court held.
Marsans has been a member of the Gin
clnnau team three years, the present
making the fourth year. He objected to
the ten-day clause in his contract and
gave ten days notice to the management
early In June, hoping, so he claimed, that
the obnoxious ten-day clause would be
taken out of his contract. On the after
noon of the same day Marsans was sus-
pended without pay for alleged disloyalty
to the team and for other reasons. Dur
ing his suspension he opened negotiations
with the st. Louis club of the Federal
league. His suspension suddenly ended
but the Cuban Jumped TO the st. Louis
Federals claiming his contract was flle-
gal on account of the ten-day clause.
The case now will be tried on its mer-

back to Cincinnati or not play ball.
