Imposing Funeral
 Given French Hero

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-The Duke of Ro-
 ban, killed in the battle of the Som me. has had one of the most imposing
 funerals seen in France during the
 war. It was not only tribute to the heroic young nobleman, but public recognition that the sons of the old nobility of France are fighting for the republic with the same ardor that the
 old nobility fought for the kings.
 The Rohans are among the famous old fighting families of France. They fought at the siege of La Rochelle. They were among the musketeers of Louis XIV. One of them was known as the Young Hero in the Seven Years war. Another became a bishop and built the famous palace at Strass- burg which is still an architectural wonder. But while aristrocrats, they shared the views of Lafayette and oth CT French noblemen admiring republi can institutions, and the present gen. eration of the family has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of che republic.
 The young Duke of Rohan first showed his republican sympathies by becoming a member of the chamber of deputies. But he was no sooner elected than the war broke out, and he entered the republican army as
 second lieutenant One day when home on leave he visited the corri- dors of the chamber, and heard a deputy spouting politics to a circle of listeners. The duke murmured dissent to some of the political state ments, whereupon the deputy angrily exclaimed: This war has brought a great many strangers to the surface. do not know this strange young man who dissents."
 T am sorry you do not know me" ;" said the duke. Let me introduce myself as one of your colleagues of 1 the chamber of deputies, member for I.'Aube. If you have not seen me there, it is because I have not set my foot in the chamber since the war be- gan"
 A little later the duke returned to the front, where he is credited with l one of the notable daredevil under takings of the war While out recon noitering as a cavalry lieutenant, he arrived along with his orderly at an inn where a hundred Prussian sol i diers had taken possession and were | peasant, the duke would not turn back. Entering the place brusquely | and speaking in German, in impera- tive tones he commanded the party | to surrender, as the house was sur rounded on all sides.
 Surprised by the sudden apparition, the revelers resigned themselves, gave | up their arms, and submitted as pris- | oners, until a French cavalry patrol, | warned of what had occurred, arrived | to escort the hundred prisoners of a | single hero.
 This is the story as told of the | young Duke of Rohan, and passing current as one of the realities of the war. That it is authentic is evident from the fact that it won him the legion of honor and placed the stamp | of government recognition on the 1 audacious achievement.

Hub City Series
A Disastrous One
With Foster and Rondeau on
Crippled List, Shanks In
jured by Ground Ball.
GOSSIP OF THE NATIONALS

Boston, May s1.-The Boston series
thus far has been a disastrous one for
the Griffmen, not only in the number of
defeats sustained. but IN injuries to play
ers. Both Henri Rondeau and Eddie Fos-
ter are among the. wounded, and 1t is
hard to tell just when they will get back
into the game again
Fosters left wrist was so swollen today
that he could not grasp bat. and is,
therefore, useless to the club. Rondeau
telegraphed from his home in Woon-
socket that he has had number OF dizzy
spells and his physician has ordered him
to rest for few days.
Grifr tonight ordered Rondeau to report
tomorrow. and at that time It will be de-
cidcd whether he Is to accompany the
club to Detroit
Howard Shanks was also painfully hurt
in the first inning Of today's game when
fast-bounding ball landed squarely on
his nose. Shanks pluckily resumed play
ing, and. incidentally. put up a fine game
at third base, subbing for Eddie Foster.
1t remains to be seen whether the Red
Sox will handle Walter johnson in the
getaway game tomorrow as savagely as
they did the other fingers on Grif's stan.
Johnson has enjoyed a long rest an
should be ready to give a good account %
himself
Tomorrow will be Flag Day here and a
big crowd is expected to turn out to wit
ness the ceremonies. Walter Johnson has
been advertised to oppose Babe Ruth and
a real. honest-to-goOdness battle should
be the outcome.
Immediately after tomorrows game the
Nationals will embark for Detroit. where
Che invasion of the West starts and this
will be the supreme test for Grifhth's
young men.
The trio OF staggering defeats at the
hands OF the Red Sox do not appear to
have robbed the Nationals Of any OF their
ers put it tonight. We've been going
pretty good lately and were about due
for a setback-we will start soon and then
watch our smoke"
kid" Jameson failed to get a safe hit
today. but in the fifth inning he nearly
knocked Pitcher Gregg off his pins with
a line drive. Gregg Just did manage to
stop the ball and got his man at first
base by inches only.
In the fourth inning Clyde Milan by
virtue of a walk. steal and infeld out,
got to third base and attempted to steal
home. Milan nearly pulled of the stunt
but as luck would have It Gregg pitched
low to Thomas and Milan was tagged as
he slid into the plate.

hitting as was in evidence here this aft

STANDING OF THE CLUB
Fans Doubt Announcement
Of the WeLsh-Lowe Fight

When an announcement was made be

more fight club on Decoration Day that
Freddy Welsh, the worlds lightweight
champion had been matched with Tom
my Lowe for a ten-round battle on
Thursday night, June S. the fans at the
ring side laughed and could not take
the announcement seriously.
A few weeks back when Jimmy La
Fontaine was making the matches for
the Maryland Club he signed Welsh and
Lowe for a battle, but eight days before
the fight the local pride was compelled
to cancel It because Of boils on his arm

The calling of of this card was no
fault OF the management OF the Mary

anxious for this clash and have lost
faith in the Ardmore officials for this
reason. Matchmaker Freeman has been

Middle Atlantic Doubles
Won by Doyle and Breck

Conrad B Doyle and H. c. Breck yes
terday afternoon on the courts of the
Columbia Country Club won the best
prize ever offered in a local tournament
when they took top hopors in the mems
doubles in the Middle Atlantic States
championship tennis tournament This
victory, in addition to a trophy, also
carries with it a trip to Chicago in Au-
gust and an opportunity to represent this
section in the national championship
doubles, the preliminary rounds of which
will be played there.
They had as their opponents Whitehead
and Tunstall, of Norfolk, an exception
ally strong team which has made quite
a reputation for itself. This pair won
the Charleston. W. Va, tournament last
year. anI Whitehead, in 1912, won the
national clay court championship, at
Omaha, with Winston as his partner.
Both of these pairs were compelled to
play their semi-inal round matches yes
terday just preceding the finals. the visit
ing pair beating Rogers and Gore after
a grueling test, -. 3-6, S-6 and Is,
and the locals winning rather easily from
O'Boyle and O'BOyle in straight sets.
The final match was the feature Of the
Tournament to date. Whitehead plays a
very steady game. and it is exceptionally
accurate. His service, while apparently
easy, IS not so by any means as ne man
ages to place it practically every time
on the receivers back hand and it has
a Sex to it which makes it very hard
to handle and which gave his side many
points. TUnstaITs strongest point is his
overhead work. while his service also is
hard to handle with any degree Of GER
tainty as it takes a high, quick bound
which makes It very deceptive. The two
play well together and form a very for
midable combination.
The style of the local players is we'll
known and needs no introduction. Both
were at their best yesterday and showed
an assortment of speed and passing
shots which was revelation to the large
gallery present. The first set went to
them, 81 and brought out some brilliant
tennis on both sides. When the home
players took the second, 81. It looked as
II II was "all over but the shouting but
the Norfolk pair seemed to have some
thing in reserve and in the best set Of
the match won the third, 6-3. The final
and deciding set found both teams going
at their best. Whitehead and Tunstall
having changed their tactics and doing
most Of their work from the back court,
but this proved to be of no avail and
they were beaten out, 6-3. The card for
this match was:

WALKER DEMON SLUGGER
By WILLIAM PEET.

Boston, Mass, May 31.-Those Red
Sox had on their batting togs today, and
made life miserable for Bert Gallia and
Harry Harper, collecting off this pair of
twirlers seventeen hits for a total of
twenty-four bases and handing the Grin-
men a good sound drubbing, 10 to l.

Vean Gregg, former Cleveland south

seem to have very much; either. but he
yielded only six hits, and the Griffmen
were lucky to escape a shut-out.
Fosters badly swollen hand would not
permit him to take his regular place at
third base, so Howard Shanks was press
ed into service, Danny Moeller holding
down left field and Jameson being placed
in right, as Henry Rondeau is still rub

Tillie Walker one time National, was
the Red Sox slugging hero this afternoon
Tille uncorked four hits out OF five
times up, two of these being two baggers
and one a triple.
A pair of doubles and a single in the
first Boston inning produced a run. GAL
liza, although batted hard, sideetepped
trouble until the fourth. when a couple of
walks, three singles and triple put over
five runs and caused Griff to substitute
Harper. SOuthpaw Harry was also nick
ed for marker before the chapter finally
closed
Harper got his bumps in the sixth, when
three singles nearly in a row and a triple
by Gardner, scored three more runs, but
by this time the game was salted away
and few more runs made little or no diff
ference.
The Nationals averted a shutout in the
eighth, Rippy Williams leading off the
chapter with a single to center. Mcbride
poked a safe drive to right advancing will

to Janvrn. Moeller connected for a
swinging bunt and while Gardner and
