THRILLING MATCH

 CITY TENNIS FIGHT
Drennen and Roberts Defeat COunselman and McWane
 in Good Match - Big
 Crowd Watches Play

Rain yesterday afternoon came slightly too late to cause postponement in any of the matches at the City Tennis tourna- ment at the Country club and consequent ly the scheduled was maintained. Sev- eral thrilling matches were played during the afternoon, but the double match De- tween Drennen and Roberts vs. Counsel man and McWane proved to be the ban ner engag cement of the tourney

 Other matches that attracted the ln- terest of the spectators were the Me- Wane-Fowlkes match and the Counsel- man-Jones match. McWane won his match after the first set going to lo games. Jones gave Counselman a nara battle, but the winner was the leader at all times Brooks and Bartlett, the pres- ent city champions, had comparatively little trouble in winning their match.
 The general public is invited to attend the matches, which are forerunners to the big Cotton States tournament, to be held on the Country club courts dur ing the middle of July

 Bill Robertson will probably face the Barons this afternoon. He will be opposed by Elmer Pom der, the big Texas league recruit. The Barons are going fine at the present and it would not be sur prising to see the Mo1ey clan cop all three engagements.

 John McGraw has stirred up a fine row in the National league. Under his signature in a New York paper he said Chase and Herzog could not get along on the Cincin- itna club and trouble would re- suit. The Cincinnati club owners charge him with trying to cause dissension in the ranks of the Reds and have asked President Tener to act. It is said McGraw will be ordered to stop writing for publication.

 The Nashville Tennessean has the following comment to make on the search of the Southern league owners for pitching strength from the ma jors:
 ''Prexy Shropshire after making the welkin ring with calls for help, drops in to announce that sympathy is all that he has been able to prize loose from big league gents. The most popular pastime nowadays appears to be roofing around for winning slabber.
 Down in Little Rock a pitcher can draw a salary that would make w. Wilson's pay envelope look like street car fare, MoleSworth would promise the 1917 management to any hurler who would bring a guarantee that he can deliver the needed assortment and Charley Frank can arrange to turn over a block of DuPont Powder stock to any finger that meets re- quirements.
 And the grand prizes are still unclaimed.'

 About this time a year ago MT. Cac- tus Cravath, the famous failure of the fall of 1915, was busily engaged in compiling the foundation of his sem sational two dozen circuit clouts. AS things stand now, Wooden Shoes" will be forced to plead for permis- sion to employ a pencil in the home run department to make any sort of sprightly showing in the four-bag- ger department. Only twice has the Phil Founder been able to tear out a four-ply crack out of 135 trips to the polling point.
 At that rate MT. Cactus Cravath will need to tack two seasons to- gether to approach his famous home run mark.
 It's great to be an editor.
 And rave about the team; To turn it in and then begin
 To scream and scream and scream. Oh. it is great, beyond a doubt,
 When things are going gayly, But did you ever scream aloud
