Against Men Players
Finds Them Harder to
Beat

SAN FRANCISCO. April 1S.-Fol-
lowers of tennis in the Pacific coast
who have watched Miss Molla Blur
stedt the national woman tennis
champion, play. may get an inkling
as to the reason of her unusual abil-
ity on the court when they learn that
her real practice is practically all
done against men opponents. In this.
Miss Bjurstedt has taken leaf out
of the book of the Pacific coast play
ers. In San Francisco especially, the
tuning up of women play ers against
the men long has been the practice.
and the men champions are much in
demand before every woman's match.
Mrs. H. A. Niemeyer, Mrs. Thos.
Fletcher and ether women players of
more than local note have adopted
this method of strengthening their
play Miss Marjorie Vale, lLitle
May Sutton'O and others of the
younger players We're educated in the
game largely by men.
In the Golden Gate Park courts.
where many champions have been de
velopcd, the play of the women is
watched as closely as that of the men
by the experts. If the Women's name
is not noticed in the east, the reverse
is the case here. where a promising
woman player receives more coach
ing than the best man on the courts,
and probably be is the one who gives
it,
Word comes from New York that
AIiss Bjurstedt already is tuning up
for the outdoor season and that she
is improving her attack against OPP
ponents at the net by taking on all
available men players she can, as it
is her present intention to enter all
Of the moro important court classics.
Bv getting used to the stronger faster
strokes that men naturally are cap
able OF delivering, the champion is
prepared to handle what her woman
opponents can serve which. in
tie long run is not likely to be as
powerful as the attack of which the
average good male player is capable.

Greatest In History

The disaster, one of the greatest in
the history of waterworks construc-
ton in Cleveland, shook the city to-
night, and a feet of boats raced out
into the lake to the work of rescue,
while nine ambulances and three po-
lice emergency patrols modified at the
foot of West Eleventh street to care
for bodies that might be brought from
the darkness of the lake.
Twelve men, all employees of the
city, were at work at IL o'clock in the
tunnel connecting the caissons OF Cribs
Nos. and 5, when the dull boom of
the explosion was heard at the top of
Crib No s, where sin other men were
at work.
They rushed to the construction ele-
vator and plunged down into the
shaft. Half an hour later two of them
came back, one of them staggering of
the elevator in a semiconscious condi-
ton. He is Peter McKenna, "a years
old and single, living at 1910 Clinton
avenue. The other, John Johnson. 81

barely strength enough to reach tele-

station.

phone. Hurry, Men dying Crib No

Captain Hansen, OF the lifesavers,
heard the cry of agony. A few minutes
later lifesavers had tumbled into their
boat and were on their way to the
rescue.
Several hours earlier in the evening
they had been startled by news of a
cave-in quarter of a mile on shore
in the tunnel leading from the foot Of
West Forty-ffth street, when two men
had barely escaped death under fall
ing earth.

lean flags draping the bier, the body
of James Whitcomb Riley. Hoosier
poet and Indiana's most beloved son
was lying in state this afternoon. And
past the bier thousands of citizens OF
Indiana stepped softly to pay their last
tribute to the memory of the poet.
Quiet, song-hostoric Lockerbie street
hidden away from the noise Of the
city and heat of the day'-this after
noon witnessed the passing of a pro-
lcession that all knew some day must
pass, but hoped against the hour.
A great bronze coffin, borne by stall
fwart policemen, came out of the door
where, it seems a short time ago, RILEY
poet beloved, passed in life. Today he
came borne on his way to the Indiana
|Statehouse.
The body was placed In a motor
ihearse draped in flags. Escorted by
Governor Ralston, Mayor Bell and a
platoon of policemen, the car moved
slowly through the streets to the state
house. Men, women and children-the
high, the low, the rich. the poor-wait-

Final arrangements for the funeral

gram received today announced that
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Payne, the poets
only sister, and her daughter, Miss
Lesley Payne, were en- route from New
York. Until Mrs. Payne's arrival def
mite plans as to the place of burial
cannot be made The present tentative
arrangement is to have a simple cere-
mony tomorrow afternoon, after which
the body will be borne to Crown Hill
Cemetery and placed in a vault.

San Antonio, Texas, July 24-Four
soldiers Of the Eighth Illinois Infan-
try, the "all black regiment, were
wounded at o'clock this evening
when rlotous crowd of 80 or so Of
them were fired into by the Provost
Guard Of TT. Sam Houston.
The guard fired low, and four of the
Ave shots fired hit marks. All the men
wounded we're hit in the legs and none
was hurt seriously. The negro sol
diers, who were out on passes, had
been drinking during the late after
noon, and on return to the camp they
passed along New Braunfels avenue
past the army past, making a lot OF
noise and iostling persons they met.
As their conduct grew more obstrep-
erous. alarmed citizens telephone to
the guardhouse for aid. The provost
guard at the mounted post, which was
a detail of men of the Nineteenth In
fantry, responded. 1t consisted of a
Corporal and five men. When the
guard met the negroes the Corporal in
command told them they must be quiet
They replied with jeers and began
throwing stones at the white soldiers
of the guard. The Corporal told his
men to fire low, with their guard cart
ridges" and four negroes of the moi
fell. The unhurt negroes were at
once quelled. and they proceeded with
out further disturbance to their camp
The wounded men were taken to the
base hospital.
Colonel Dennison, the negro COM
mander of the Eighth Illinois, said to-
night he had no official information of
the trouble. He said passes for the af-
ternoon had been issued as usual, to
three men in each company.
Much apprehension has been felt
here on account of the presence of the
negro regiment, commanded entirely
by negroes. 1t was feared that with
men of the Eighth ON the streets to-
night, inflamed by the fact that four
of their comrades had been shot by
white soldiers, more trouble would fol-
low.
