RIVER COUNTIES

Charleston, w. Va. Feb. 28.--
Returning from a campaigntour
Of the counties in the northern
Panhandle and those bordering
on the Ohio River, Attorney
General A. A. Lilly today an
nounced the belief that he would
carry every river county from
the tip Of Hancock to the KEN
lucky line. my opinion is
founded on information given
me by party workers and the
voters in general said General
Lilly
II am very appreciative of the
reception which has been ac-
corded my candidacy in the
counties Of the northern Pan
handle and in all those counties
along the Ohio river. ! am just
sas confident Of the outcome in
these counties as ! am OF the re-
suit in the southeren section of
the State where the opposition
does not make serioIs claim to
the big Republican vote"
The Attorney General was in
Handbook, Brooke, Ohio, Wetzel,
and Tyler counties. He made a
speech at Middlebourne on Fri
day night.
In my Middlebourne speech
said General Lilly this morning,
81 dealt with the recent state
ments made by the opposition
that my candidacy has been fos-
tered by the Democratic press of
the State. In this come ion |
recalled that John j. CORNELL,
candidate for the Dem cratic
gubernatorial nomination, re-
Gently had vigorously assailed
my candidacy for the Governor
ship and that his attack hadbeen
approved by the opposition, or
at least that part which is now
seeking to show that the Demo-
cratic press has been friendly to
my aandidacy."

loaded with an old looking suit
case, a shot gun and a sack
strapped on him, He asked
How chances to stay over

the habit of turning decent look
ing people away but the chance
would be slim for we had been
sick and my wife wasn't able to
do for any one else, so | started
toward the house and on tt rn-
ing around the corner Of the
barn, there stood a very young
looking woman. Oh, said |, as

chance for staying doubtful, but
we would see my wife, and did

them, so by the way on asking
them some questions about diff
ferent things.We ask their ages,

M0LLA BJURSTEDT
THREE TIMES TITLE

Duplicates Feat of Mrs.
Raymond in Taking All

BY WILLIAM T. TuDEN. 2D

1t seems as II defeat is something Molla
Bjurstedt, our new Pennsylvania State ten.
mis- champion, knows nothing OF In fact
from all indications. 1t Is something that no
woman in America can teach her, for Miss
Bjurstedt stands out pre.eminent from all
our tennis stars
Last Saturday. at Merton, Miss Bjurstedt,
aided and ahetted by Miss Sears I'm the
doubles and Mr. Tlden in the mixed, fell
upon and annihilated two innocent and un.
suspecting teams. Scores. 60, 6-1 in the
doubles, 6.1. So in the mixed True, in
both events, Miss Bjurstedt had able and,
in the case of Miss Sears, brilliant support.
But, for all that, 1t was the Morse girl
who won the matches by her own remark
able play.
Molla Bjurstedt is the greatest exponent
of women's singles in the world today.
There is little need to question an asser-
ton even as sweeping as that after seeing
her play. She is supreme. Her game is
well rounded, Mt once brilliant and steady,
a most unusual combination. AS a doubles
player and also in mixed, while decidedly
above the average, Miss Bjurstedt is not the
one great artist In these lines, She is not
the court general in doubles that either
Mrs. George Wightman or Miss Mary
Browne is She lacks the keen volley shot
necessary to be truly great Then, again,
she thinks and plays in terms of singles,
a bad fault in doubles. But, for all that,
Molla Bjurstedt regned supreme at Merton,
and will reign again at the Philadelphia
Club this week. May it be a long time be-
fore we say, The queen is dead; long live
the queen!"
The entry list at the Philadelphia club
for the women's national tournament, which
starts today includes the names of many
of our leading players Unfortunately, the
West has not sent us the usual array of
talent but among the eastern entrants are
Mrs, Edward Raymond, who, as Louise
Hammond, won the national title; Mrs.
Barger-W -Wallach, another ex-title holder:
Evelyn Sears Eleanor Sears Marie Wag-
ner, Florence Ballin, Edna Wildey, Edith
Handy, Mrs LIE Roy and Alice Cunning.

Miss Bjurstedt for the national title will
come.
