match in the women's tennis tourna-
ment. which started at the Heights
Casino in Brooklyn yesterday, was be-
tween Miss Molla Bjurstedt. the indoor
and outdoor champion. and Mrs Spen-
Ger +. Weaver. The former won in
straig sets at 6-3 and Ca but the
play of Miss Bjurstedt was hardly up
to her true standard in her first tour
nament match of Sunday.
Mrs. Weaver gave good account of
herself in the early part of each set
but the accurate playing of Miss Blur
stedt was more than she could success
fully compete against. The cham

Miss Edith Handy had a hard three
set match with Miss Florence Sheldon
and won at 6-3. o. and SIS The first
set which went to Miss Sheldon, was
brilliantly contested. In the second
set, however, she was easy prey for
Miss Handy. who drew her out Of
position frequently and then scored an
ace by clever placement. Miss Sheldon
recovered somewhat in the third set,
forcing it to deuce by Il game which
she won at 81. The next game also
went to deuce. but Miss Sheldon lost

he will do much to help the Giants in
the coming race il he plays anything

Foregoes Visit to Hot Springs,

home with his father-in-law. Repre-
sentative Roberts of Nevada. Mrs.
Johnson and Walter, jr., accompanied
the great pitcher who with the rest of
the squad will leave here Thursday
morning for Charlottesville.
Walter appears to be in perfect ply

spend couple of weeks at Hot
Springs. Ark. with Clyde Milan. but he
is in such good shape as a result of
strenuous work on the farm during the
off season that he does not need the
stay at the springs.
Il am in good fettle this spring.
Johnson said, land I don't expect to
have any trouble getting into form by
the time the season opens. ] don't have
much trouble getting my arm into
pitching shape, and all l need is a lot
of work to get my wind and legs in
condition.
Manager Griffith is not at all exer-
not put in an appearance at Charlottes-
vile. Bert is sure to be there in a
day or So" said Griffith. There can
not be anything wrong with him, be-
cause he would have notified me in that
case. He probably is figuring that he
can do himself more good down in Tex
as where it is warm, than he would at
our camp just now, and he is sure to
report ready to pitch ball He has been
delaying reporting every spring, but
when he reaches the camp he always is
ready"
At 1905 Thursday morning the sec

The belted kingf1sher has q great
taste for fish. Every day is Friday
with him, because no matter how hun
cry he gets, he will eat nothing except
fish. Wherever there are creeks, riv-
ers. ponds or lakes the kingfshers are
to be found. f5#s
His principal business in life seems
to be diving into the water for fish.
From his perch on dead branch or as
he hovers over the water this unusual
bird spies q small fish. With swOOp
and splash and dive he goes into
the water and is out as quickly with
the fish firmly held in his stout beak.
As he energies from the water quick
shake Of the body sends the water
flying from his oily feathers, and he is
dry in short order. The fish is tossed
into the air, caught again in the beak
and swallowed head first.
Unlike most other birds, the king
fisher does not build his nest in trees,
but seeks a sand bank, in which he
digs tunnel several feet straight in.
At the far end a little room is hol-
lowed out, and there on the sand the
glossy eggs are laid.
The belted kingflsher is recognized
by his fluffy crown and his breast band.
