(Mr: Bergman was not at the
meeting and says that Mr.. Parkinson
misquoted him.
Councilman Pelkey moved that the
improvement committee further in
vestigate these costs before any ac-
tion was taken, including the cost
Of erection, wiring and maintenance
and also as to what possible income
might be expected. Mr.. Younie, who
was present as a citizen visitor, was
asked for an opinion and said; he

The recent showing of the Pacific Coast tennis players in the East has been anything but encouraging to their followers, and instead of the clean sweep that was expected earl fer in the season, doubt is being ex- pressed that William Johnston will be able to retain his national sin gles championship, His defeats at the hands of R. Norris Williams, II, the former champion and Kumagae were unlocked for. Willis has play a better game than he has shown n a year
 Ward Dawson's work has been a disappointment to his friends and unless he shows a decided improve ment he seems likely to repeat his unsuccessful season of last year.

But, to grasp the details and to realize the scores of both pathetic and humorous ad- ventures that besct the girl before she hnds some one who can under stand her and who can make her understand. one must see the World C5Fpo,ation's feature in which Miss Vivian Martin is starred as Lili Brc,Hl in "The Little Mademoiselle. %

Does Excellent Pitching.

About as neat a bit of pitching as has been done for a while was young Davenports two victories over the New York Yanks a few days ago when he pitched both gan9es of a double-header for the St. Louis Browns and gave the opposition only nine hits all told Pitching both games Of a doublc-header is stupen- dous in these days when there's hardly a pitcher that goes all the way through one game unassisted and winning both games is great deal more so. Winning them in such gilt-edged fashion with so few hits makes the whole performance a thing of wonder.
