HUNTER SCORES AGAIN
Winner of North Side Title
Wins Championship.

Francis 7. Hunter, North Side cham
pion. added the championship Of West
chester County TO his list Of achieve
ments on the court Yesterday by de-
feating Herbert W. Forster. the sew
enteen-year-old schoolboy, in the final
round OF the annual lawn tennis tour.

Of Mount Vernon. Hunter won in
straight sets at Cd, 6-3.
Mrs. Royal Victor earned brilliant
triumph in the final Of the womcn's
singles. defeating Miss Bessie Holden,
Of New Rochelle. at 60. 2 8. 7-5.
William Rand, Sd. and r. c. Rand will
meet Hunter and Abraham Bassford.
IT.. this afternoon in the final round
Of the mems doubles. and the final
round Of the mixed doubles will be
played on Monday
Forster fought courageously against
Hunter and held his older opponent
even with his ground strokes. but when
II came TO taking the ball overhead the
schoolboy was inclined 20 be erratic,
and this was costly, for his errors came
at critical moments.
Mrs. Victor. who az Miss Anne Mar
tin held the championship of Smith
College, played her best game Of the
year in conquering Miss Holden. She
drove ball that only cleared the net
by inches and was so fast that Miss
Holden had difficulty in getting her
racquet into position in time. Mrs.
Victor also yolleyed prettily and placed
her returns in every unprotected spot
in Miss Holden's court.

Evans May Not
Defend Golf Title

Chicago, July 16.-Charles Evans,
Western amateur golf champion, con-
frmed reports to-day that he probably
would not defend his title at the tour
nament which begins on Monday at
Cleveland. For business reasons, he
said. he probably would have TO remain
in Chicago. Il will be the first West
ern tournament he has missed taking
part in since 1907.
Absence of Evans would make the
contest much more open, golfers said
today. and Chicago's chance of re-
tanning the honor considerably less,

Race to Is Miles

Only fifteen miles will be covered by
the starters in the marathon race at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco. This was learned yester-
day. when the exposition authorities
wired the A. A. L. headquarters that
they had decided 10 shorten the course
from the regulation distance of 26
miles and 1856 yards With the race at
fifteen miles, it is more than likely
that Hannes Kolehmainen and Villar

IS now being classed once more with the gilt edged shares.
 MT. Elliott is not only a practical railroad official, but he is a man of superior education. He is, in fact, a civil engineer of the old school; that is to say, intellectually broad, thoroughly scientific and a man of fine literary accomplishments. He is a Harvard man and in addressing a civic body at Norwich, Conn.,, the other day, he discussed with singu- lar felicity and power of expression ,railroading in general and the New Haven road in particular; and his views and his statements were so cheering as to have a distinctly heartening effect on the business world.
 The body of his speech was graced with poetry in Latin and poetry in English and was illumined by touches of keen wit. and playful humor. If any successful self-made man ever speaks disparagingly of the scholar in business, refer him to men like Howard Elliott, Daniel Willard, Fairfax Harrison, Ebert H. Gary, George c. Crawford and scores of others who are well known by repu- tation to the public.
 A man of force like Elliott would have made good as a railroad presi- dent had he come up from an humble position. He had the stuff in him; the qualities of leadership that al- ways tell. But with his culture he is all the greater figure in the large world of affairs. This is an age of specialization and it is an age, too, when the college-bred fellow has many advantages in the struggle for achievement over the man with un- trained mental processes. One some- times hears of the danger of men be- ing overeducated, but there is very little such danger. It is the other way. The majority of men are not educated enough.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-04-27
LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Inquirer.
 Sunday is the occasion father selects
 to stay home all day and eat up every
 thing in the house so he will be able to
 wonder what makes him feel so rotten
 on Monday.
 Any woman can make her face up eight
 times while she is trying to make her
 mind up once
 The reason why daughter can play ten
 his all afternoon and dance all night is
 because she would have nervous prostra- tion if she had to wash the dishes. The trouble with buying an engagement ring on the installment plan is that you
 can't get mortgage on the girl. You may think that the purchase of a $20O, 100000 property would require some careful fnanciering. But you ought tc see woman buying a dimes worth oi soup vegetables from huckster. Every woman knows that if her hus- bands faults came out in pimples his face would look as if he had the measles When father is hunting for the cork screw and the beer opener mother always insists that if he put them away when he was through with them he could al ways find them. And then mother won- ders where she put the scissors and the can opener when she used them last, and
 she starts in to hunt for them. A girl would rather have beauty than brains, because only a few of the men
 are blind and the rest of them are fools Every now and then you will see a
 woman who gives you the impression
 that if she smiled she would crack hei
 complexion.
 The old-fashioncd man who believed that hell was thing of the hereafter now has a son who realizes that the pro- hibitionists and reformers are seeing thai we get it right here on earth
