ly designates Mr. Lamb as treasurer"
in the tournament committee list; a
new position, so far as We know, in
announcements. Harry A. Briggs is
chairman OF the body, and ". c. Lip
pincott will act as tournament referee,
The prizes at New Rochelle are very
good. We once won a clock and stick
pin there. The clock runs and the pin
hasn't yet been hooked by an enterpris-
ing pickpocket; but that Is not the
fault Of the pin.
A Philadelphia papers account OF
play In the women's national champion
ships mentions Miss Molla Bjurstedt
the standing-out champion. II says
Miss Bjurstedt was present yesterday
| looking the picture Of health" Well
why shouldn't she7 II we weren'
worried we'd be healthy looking, too.

Count Otto Salm, who figured In the
first rounds of many local tournaments
until his marriage some weeks ago,
once ran into the arch jokers Frederick
c. Baggs and s. Howard Voshell. At
the time the long Count was sore in
every little muscle, and Voshell and
Baggs had Just returned from a tour
Of tournament upstate.
The Count asked, in his inimitabls
fashion, for some liniment or oil TO
take the soreness out OF his muscles.
Baggs and Voshell remembered Os-
ceola, Lewis County.
Best thing in the world is Osceola
OIL" said Baggs. isn't that right
Howard ?"
The count was rebuffed at many a
drug store in his search for the non
existent lubricant.
She was the apple of his eye;
For her he'd do all tricks, and fall
All In a heap at her feet-but, say,
She couldn't swat tennis ball!
Why fear deathf There Is Miss
Molla Bjurstedt's forehand drive.
Summer days are coming, and with
them the passing OF the most at
tractive feature Of women's tourna-
ments-the marvellous, vari and very
colored silk sweaters the female Of the
species affects. There Is no more in
terest in anything but the women's
tennis Sweater compssition has gone.
Competition between the women has
now only one leg TO stand on. That is
in the matter of silk hosiery. They
say the rivalry is intense.
New England experts say two com
ing stars are Arthur Earl and Stanley
William Collinson, of Huntington
School, near Boston. The two play
about as nearly equal a game as II Is
possible 10 get. In the semi-fnal of a
tournament at Falmouth Heights last
summer Arthur beat Stanley, but each
-
sets. Evidently everything in the fam
lily is divided.
