TENNIS NOTES.

| The reaction on a tournament when
the inevitable list Of defaults has 70
be chalked on the board is more HARM
full than any possible good that might
be gained from a fictitiously impos-
ing list at the beginning. 1t also is
harmful to the sport in general, and
the members of the executive ccm-
mittee are paying close heed to the
various phases of the sport-much
more so than many of the clubs seem
to believe. As has been pointed out
in a discussion of the subject, the
names that form padding in the
draw relatively work to change the
position of the legitimate competitor,
who has paid his entry fee in good
faith, and who. by all the gentleman
ly rules of good sport. Is entitled to
fair play. That is one of the sides
of the question that national officials
are paying attention to.
Arrangements for conducting the
drawings publicity are. in the esti-
nation of the committee, the only
proper ones to pursue. The method
in which President Wrenn made the
draw for the Davis cup matches last
year was used as an illustration. At
that time he had newspaper men who
were present draw the slips with the
names of the nations. All chance of
any criticism was eliminated. The
draw was free, open, and above board.
The making Of the draw for tourna-
ments at convenient time when
players and representatives of the
press may be present. il the manner
favored by the national oficials. the
integrity of the draw IL the most i'm
portant matter connected with a
tournament, and any departure from
this observance IL deprecated by the
body. An invitation affair Is
A different matter. and at such meet
Ings the draw may be arranged to
suit the convenience Of the players OF
the club.

FALL RACING SEASON
Will Open SHORTLY
Five Days Meeting at Timonium,
Md. Will Start Ball
Rolling.

Baltimore, Md. Aug. 21.-With the
opening Of the fall racing season in
Maryland only a week off from Tues
and as far north as Canada are be-
ginning 10 cast their optics this way
The ball will start a-rolling with a
five-day meeting at Timonium, the
course of the Maryland State Fair
and Agricultural Association, of Bal
timore County, which, as usual. will
hold its big fair with the competition
on the track as the most interesting
part of the program. While the pro-
grams for the trotters and PAGERS
have been a feature at Timonum for
many years, it looks like the runners
will prove the greater attraction this
year The automobile has caused in
terest to wane in the harness game,
and there is a scarcity of material in
the East. SO majority of the events
at the Baltimore County half-mile
oval next month will be for the bang
tails
Already there are a half hundred
thoroughbreds in training at Timonium
for the coming meeting. and they will
be in great shape when the bugle
calls them to the post. Applications
for stabling at the present time in
dictate that every stall within the gates
OF the course, and for a mile or two
around will be occupied by the OPEN
ing day, for next week will mark the
arrival of many racing establishments
from Canada, which will race in this
State next fall in preference to ship
ping to Kentucky. The books of con-
ditions for the runners during the five
days of the sport at Timonium have
been distributed among the horsemen
now quartered at the local tracks by
Racing Secretary James c. L. Ander-
son. In conjunction with two harness
races, there will be four tilts for the
runners on each of the four days, in
GLIDING the usual struggle through the
field. AS has been the custom in past
years. Saturday, the closing day, will
be exclusively for the runner, for
whose benefit there will be six con-
tests.
Among the -well-known turtles now
at Timonium who are preparing their |
charges for the sprints and over a |
distance of ground are Ernest Utter |
back and George c. Brenton. a pair |
of VirGinians. who are training their |
own color-bearers. The Utterback- |
Brenton combination will be about the |
most formidable at the meeting, for |
in the Utterback barn are Cockspur, |
Norus, Peacock, Musanti. Heartbeat, |
Drawn and Battling Nelson. while in |

Running, Trotting, and Pac-
ing Events Listed for Rock
vile, Starting Tuesday.
EXHIBITS ARE READY

Inc event of greatest local impor-
lance this week is the MONTGOMERY
County fair. and the farmers of the
county have so arranged their affairs
that they will be on hand in large
force On Tuesday next the fair will
open for a four days run.
Nearly all of the exhibits are AL
ready on the grounds Most of the
horses that will appear in the sew
eral racing events arrived yesterday,
Inc remainder will arrive today and
tomorrow. Over fifty horses are en-
tered in the harness events alone In
the running events 125 are listed and
on the grounds. and more are ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow
The outlook now is that the fair
this year will exceed in interest any
fair held in Rockville within the past.
ten years. II wet weather does not
interfere the crowds each day will
certainly be of ord-breaking or
der, for the farmers of Montgomery
are treadinS on velvet this year of
our Lord. 1915.
With over $4,000 to race for. a
higher class of horses will perform
this week than has been the case in
several years. The four-year-old
on Tuesday, will be an event worth
travelling many miles to see Every
colt. with few exceptions, has shown
speed in workouts and is highly bred
and trained to the hour.
The 2-year-old stake, which will
be raced off on Wednesday, will be
hot contest Two of the lot have
shown themselves capable of trotting'
miles better, than $50 The S-year-
old stake has been reserved for Fri
day. and every colt entered has shown
speed of a sensational order
The events for aged horses will be
none the less interesting. They come
from~widely separated sections of the
country. Some of them have been rae
ing for the past month and have
proved their worth. Others are of ths
dark" variety-no one but their re-
spective owners know the measure OF
their speed. but all will be out for
the money at the word. Never before
in the history of the Rockville track
have so many runners been listed for
the fiat. hurdle and jumping contests.
There is promise of plenty of thrills
in these contests, while there will ba
many other things during the week
to grip the crowds and keep them
strung to the highest notch.

A Kayo Pays Doctors Bill

In the old days around Chicago, and
elsewhere as we'll, l imagine it was
considered the thing to do a little
cheating on the side and if you could
get away with it, all well and good.
If you were caught at it you got the
laugh and that was about all. There
was no commissions then to punish
offenders.
Here's a little tale about how Tom
my White. one of the old timers of
the feather-weight class, put one over
one night on an unsuspecling young
fellow from the country. 1t wasn't ex-
actly on the level or up to a high
of craftsmanship, but like

the tickets right away. Then Tommy
went out and got new set of six

open. take out half the padding in
one pair and add it to the other.
