JOHNSTON CATCHES
TARTAR ON COURTS
Lively Matches in the Opening
Rounds of WoodmeH Lawn
Tennis Tourney.

Play began yesterday in the fifth an
nual open lawn tennis tournament Of
the Woodmere Club, on Long Island,
for the Woodmere challenge cup, IN the
singles, with a field of forty-tlve play
ers. Only four matches were completed
during the afternoon, but to-day the
committee will push the field along at
a more rapid pace.
Charles L. Johnston, jr., former New
England intercollegiate champion, had
a severe test against Lieutenant W. 5.
Anderson, of the regular army, before
ne came through with victory at 81,
6-3, Ga Anderson played with
plenty of confidence and earned the
honors in the first set.
Johnston is known as a slow starter,
and rarely finds himself until his oppo-
nent holds lead, and so 1t was yester-
day. The tall New Englander could not
gauge the height of the net correctly
and continued 70 drive into the barrier
when he had chances to score on place
ment shots. Anderson exercised more
care, and after the games had reached
Sail broke through Johnston's SER
vice by passing his opponent cleverly,
and then won his own, taking the last
game and the set at IS.
Johnston used a little more restraint
after this, and shots that had before
found the net or landed outside the
court began to hit their mark. Draw
ing Anderson in toward the net, the
former Amherst student would lob over
the army mans head, and then, with
his opponent on the base line, finish the
points with hard smashes to the cor
ners. The last two sets went to him
at Is s., Cd.
Louis J. Robertson, although he IS
the official referee of the tournament,
found this was of little avail against
L. J. Dreyfus, his opponent in the first
round. and went down to defeat by a
score of 6-1, ca. Dreyfus is no re-
specter of titles and saved his hardest
smashes and drives for use against
Robertson.
Some of the strongest players in the
tournament will make start to-day
toward acquiring a leg on rhe hand
some challenge cup now held by G.. A.
l.. Dionne. Ralph L. Baggs, Johnston,
R. s. Maynard, New England intercol-
legiate champion in the doubles; Ar

DILLON VICTOR IN
ONE-SIDED BOUT
Knocks Howard Down for Count
of Nine in Ten Rounds at
Far ROckaWav A. {.

Jack Dillon, H.; indianapolis, the man
rated by some critics as the best of
the heavyweights, won easily from
Johnny Howard in ten rounds of savage
boxing at the Far Rockaway Athletic
Association last night. Howard lasted
the limit simply because he is one of
the gamest, toughest men in the ring
to-day. Dillon knocked him down for
the count of nine three times in the
third round, and sent him sprawling
again in the tenth, but was unable to
put him away.
1t was a one-sided battle in a meas
ure. but it was bitterly fought. Howard
found himself confronted by a two
handed fighter, whose bulldog agrees
siveness hid his cleverness. Johnny
found it hard to land clean punch,
but he never stopped fighting. Per-
haps, had Howard stayed away and
tried to work cleverly he might have
done better.

together for a ree-day tournament,
hence the reason for only eight quail
flying. There is the bare possibility of
making the championship seventy holes
at medal play.
This year Jesse GuilfOrd will not be
eligible for the New Hampshire title,
which he has won three times, for he
has become a resident Of Melrose and
will put his efforts into the Massachu-
sets title play at Woodland. He was
in the New Hampshire tournament last
year at Abenaqui, but was defeated by
Cliff W. Bass, who subsequently won
the title. Bass is playing about as well
as usual this year, and stands a first
class chance of retaining the title.
There is likely to be some new blood
in the championship at Maplewood,
however, for one of the golfers now
eligible is Maurice Baker, last years
Harvard golfer and another is Jack
Parker, of Manchester, n. H., former
golf and baseball player at Princeton.
A laugh, il is said, consists of a con-
traction Of the diaphragm, followed by
a violent explosion of the mouth and
accompanied by vigorous contortions OF
the face. Two explosions make a merry
laugh, while three explosions are a
hearty laugh, and so on.
Along the same lines, declares a
golfer, a good drive is mad. when the
human humerus and the motJr mole
cules collapse in a collusionistic con-
centration. The humeri are pointed
true 70 nature and the mind IS keyed to
pitch. There are also the same con-
tortions of the face, and also exrlo-
sions, only these generally follow the

Cape Girardeau gunners, trap-shoot-

boast and bragof their sportsman like
adventures and their accomplishments,
but Herman Pape claims that as a
nimrod he has anything backed off
the boards that has been told around
the Cape this season.
Pape's form of hunting got results,
too, something which not all the other
Cape huntsmen have been able to get
this season.
Pape likens his basement at home on
the Perryville road just west of the
fairgrounds, to a game preserve SINH
lar to the King of England's private
cunning park. That is after all that
has happened there, he does.
The story he told his friends out in
Haarig yesterday of his great hunt
ing experiences in his basement rivals
those that Doc Vorbeck tells of the
Mississippi river
For the week or so, Pape and his
family had been disturbed nightly by
a big commotion going on down in the
basement at their home. There was a
sound as if some animal were running
at large.
at must be a pretty big rat" the
Cape's well-known carpenter remarked
rs he adjusted his pipe and bethought
himself of the close screenings with
which he had surrounded the basement
of his home, to keep all manner OF
animal providers from making his eel
lar their roosting place.
Pape procrastinated about making
a nocturnal investigation and let the
matter go as a rat. The daylight in.
spections of the place failed to reveal
anything.
However about three night ago, the
connection became so annoying that
it resembled din and on the incita.

"But this suit has to do with q
claim against the drainage district and
any court has jurisdiction where such
claim is believed to obtain.
That's why l don't think much of
the petition as | have seen it. do
not know that the state statute does
say that the county must pay for
bridges, the necessity for which is
created by the drainage district never
have seen such clause in the statute.
81 know that many of the courts
in this land of late have been prone
to interpret the laws as favorably to
the drainage work as possible. 1t is
eminently an admirable and necessary
work, but in this case, it seems to me
that there are peculiar extenuating
circumstances.
"Why should Cape Girardeau Coun-
ty be taxed to pay for bridges that
the drainage district makes necessary
by simply grabbing hole through the
county roads,"
r. B. Oliver, Jr., yesterday after
noon returned from jefferson City
after filing the petition. for writ of
prohibition against the county and
Judge Ranney. The Supreme Court
took the petition under advisement
and may issue a temporary order
within few days. A date for hear
ing then will be set and the writ

Supreme Court to argue for the coun-
ty when the hearing comes up, should

the permission, he told the mayor
when the latter interviewed Schultz q
couple of days ago to get the ease

Schultz told Mayor Rage that some
time in the future, he may reveal the
identity of his advisor. He did not
even hint as to whether he was a
higher up" or not.
Mayor Rage announced Schultz's
decision to withhold the easement at
the meeting of the council last night
He also appointed 4 committee COM
posed of Bowman, Armgardt and
Fowler to investigate the pipeline sit

property and endeavor to plan way
for the mains to go without having
to cross Schultz's land.
The plans for the pipeline crossing

night determined to follow some other
course in preference if it is possible.

TWO JACK SALMON WEIGH
JUST FORTY SIN POUNDS

Jack Cairns yesterday presented to
Col. John Herbst, of the Green Tree
bar, two huge jack salmon. One
weighs twenty-five pounds, and the
other, supposed to be the wife, if
fish marry, tips the scales at twenty
one pounds.
Col. Herbst is going to serve them
to patrons and friends from 1 to 8
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. Accord
ing to the story told by the colonel
last night (no afIidavitsl, the two mon
sters were caught by Jack Cairns while
casting for bass.
Cairns hooked one and as soon as he
removed the fish from his hook, he
made another throw in the same pool
an got the second strike. The first
was the mama fish and the second was
the husband, or papa.
They were considered the best
specimens ever brought to this city
from the Current river.
