ToucHARD CAPTURES NATIONAL
 INDOOR TENNIS TITLE.
Defeated Lovibond in Finals-Third Time Touehard Has Held the Cham pionship.

New York, Feb. 19.-G F Touchard, the playing through champion won the national indoor singles tennis title to- day on the board courts of the Seventh Regiment Armory. In the final of this division of the. tournament which be- gan a week ago Tochard defeated 4. M Lovibond, former regimental cham pion at 6-3, 6-2 S-6, 6-2. The victory marked the third time Touchard has held the championship and he became the permanent possessor of the Seventh Regiment cup originally of fered by officers of the command.
 Tine light wassexcelIent for the match anG it afforded Touchard an opportuni- ty to play his strokes with certainty. It was his ability to change pace at critical junctures in the rallies that helped the champion in the close games. His backhand was strong and he played the St&hes freely and hard.
 I4ovfoond displayed remarkable steadiness. He brought off his long drives prettily and often made them good for passing strokes He was not as clever nor as Pesourceful as Touch ard at court generalship, however, and if was faulty position work that cost him many games at critical times Lovibord used the 1o!bb extensively and compelled Touchard to give way at the net, but when he had the advan- tage of the champion being out of po- sition he was not quick enough to shoot the ball through for the point and it was his allowing Touchard chances far recovery that cost him many points.

NEW ENGLAND HACKERS
 2 PROVED DISAPPOINTMENT
Trouble Was That They Thought the Federals Were Going to Sprinkle the Money h Their Territory.

The Federal league promoters win
 evidently have to hunt a while longer in New England before bagging eight
 financiers who are willing to take a chance with an Independent baseball
 league. The Federals put up a pro-
 position which was fair in every way
 and which would appeal to any crowd. who cared to take hold of the national
 sport as an investment. The whole
 trouble seemed to be that most of
 the promoters who gathered to talk
 over matters with President Gilmore
 here recently, got it ill their heads
 that the Feds had something to give
 away and first come. first served.
 They seemed to feel that a lot of Fed
 eral money was to be sprinkled about
 New England and they were willing to get in the scramble and try to cop their share. What boobs they must have thought the Federal league packers were From the talk of some
 Of those who met President Gilmore it could plainly be seen that they were
 of the shoe string pariety and wouldn't or couldn't invest a, cent in the proposition. They wanted every thing for nothing and then on top of that wanted the Federal league to pay all bills and let them cop all the money coming through the gates. The East Shore Amusement company of New Haven and the Textile club of Manchester, ". H., proved to be two reliable companies with plenty of cap
 ital and willing to assume all financial
 obligations named by President Gil- more. Six more such packers and i there would have been no question
 about the Federal league going
 through. But aside from the two companies named, Agent AIcKinnon was unable to report favorably OF any
 of the men who wanted franchises
 and as a reslA President Gilmore was unable to see his way clear to taking
 chance with them. The league might have gone along with one or
 two weak packers and made q lot of money, but it would not run with six
 weak sisters and expect to get by. Perhaps during the spring and sum
 mer Mckinnon may trap six financi-
 ally strong baseball men and organize
 a Federal minor league another sea- sor.
