SEVENTY YOUNGSTERS
AFTER TENNIS TITLE
District Junior Tourney Makes Sue.
cessful Start on Courts of
umbarton Club.
CAN ADA.

After nearly fifteen years of mac
tiyity the event for the junior tennis
championship of the District was re-
Vived yesterday morning on the courts
Of the Dumbarton. Club, and nearly
seventy youngsters took the courts for
the hight for high local honors.
Although the play from an artistic
standpoint was not. of course. equal
to that shown in the open and invita-
tion events of the year, it was very
nigh quality considering the youth and
lnexperience OF the entrants, and much
favorable comment was made. Several
OF the matches We're close and the COM
petition was generally keen.
One of the best matches OF the day
was that between 3. Wolverton and F.
Gardner in the first round. the former
winning after three spirited sets, 6-3
- and 6-4. Both of these youngsters
put UP splendid game and the resul,
was in doubt until the end After TAX
ing the first set Wolverton seemed to
lose his eye as he lost himself
many points in the second by driving
either in the net or just out. but he
recovered in time TO take the third set
"a. although Gardner made him put
forth his best efforts
The longest set of the day was fur
nished by H Toroert and c Shewalter,
when the latter battied for sixteen
games before he Was able to take the
set This seemed to take all of the
starch out of Torbert, for he weakened
badly in the second set. and lost out

one has seen Stefansson or the two
men he kept with him since then. His
vessel. the Karluk. drifted several hun
dred miles to the westward and was
crushed in the ice. Part Of those
aboard the Karluk were rescued
through the perseverance of McCon-
nell.
Then Mcconnell came back to the
States and started his efforts to or
ganize a relief expedition. 1t was he
who evolved from his brain the idea of
hydro-aeroplane. Many OF his plane
were talked over in the Eight Oars.
e. w. Deming's studio in artistic Mac
dougal alley.
The Canadian government Is chided
by Mcconnell for failing to at out a
relief expedition. as Stefansson is upon
Canadian service. But the great war
has intervened and monopolizes Cana
da's energies.
Il consider 1t my duty to search for
Stefansson." Mcconnell said. -As q
survivor of the expedition. / shall not
be content to sit idly and in comfort In
civilization until know that my COM
rades are safe. or what has happened

Opinions differ as to what has hap
pened to Stefansson. He may be drift
ing on field of ice somewhere north
of Alaska. In this event he would
reach Siberia, II still alive. about two
years from now.
Mcconnell thus outlined his plans
recently:
Our expedition Is not more hope
less than that Of the Rodgers. which
started out to rescue the crew of the
Jeanette In 1879. two years after she
had sailed.
