FIFTEEN WOMEN STILL IN FIGHT
 FOR TENNIS TITLE

Philadelphia, June 6.-Five New York players, three from Boston, five Phila- delphians, and one each from Newport and Baltimore, survived today's play in the championship singles of the women's national tennis tournament at the Phila- delphia Cricket club.
 Mrs Edward Raymond heads the New York survivors. She easily defeated Miss Miriam Steever of Chicago in straight sets, 6-3, GA. Miss Evelyn Sears, national champion in 1905; Miss Eleonora Sears, present sharer of the national doubles title with Mrs. George R. Wightman, and Mrs. T. H. Cabot make up the Boston contingent. Mrs. Barger-Wallach of Newport and Miss Susanne White of Bal timore are the other out of town sur vivors.
 The first round of the championship doubles worked out according to predic ton, the only surprise being the defeat of Mrs Theodore Cassebeer of New York and Miss Miriam Steever of Chicago by a youthful local pair, Miss Mary Thayer and Miss Sarah Myers.
 There were several upsets in the mixed doubles, the most notable being the de- feat of Mrs. Barger- Wallach and Craig Riddle by Miss Florence Ballin and w. T. Tilden, Jr. The score was 7-9 6-4 6-2
 Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the national title holder, made her first appearance in the tournament today. Paired with Miss Eleonora Sears of Boston, she played in her usual dashing form and they easily won their first round match from one of the local duos.

Officials Announced

All is in readiness for the bix six and half mile bicycle race over the streets of the city tomorrow afternoon, according to Referee Arthur Mitchell.

SIX NEW TENNIS COURTSOF I'M. [. A. NEAR COMPLETION Formal Opening Will Be Held Next Saturday.
 Built at Heavy
 Expense

The six new tennis courts of the Young Mems Christian association, sit uated on Twenty-fourth street and Ninth avenue, are rapidly nearing com pletion.
 The finishing touches are now being put on and they will be ready for use Thursday. The formal opening will be held next Saturday, June 10. The work of clearing the site of trees was be- gun nearly two months ago. Since that time a tremendous amount of work has been done and much expense incurred. More than 1500 yards of dirt were used in grading. The plot occupied by the six courts measures 250 feet by 160 feet, considerably more than an acre. The construction work has been under the supervision of H. R. Howell and was made possible the gifts of 65 men, tennis enthusiasts and members of the Y M. c. A. Tennis association.
 The courts are first class in every respect. The surface is of clay and is smooth, hard and true. feature that will be appreciated by good players is the exceptionally large playing space around the courts, the base lines be- ing from 20 to 24 feet from the enclos- ing fence and the courts being sep arated by IA feet. The appointments are all of the best. There is even ma magnificent shade tree for the comfort of the players and guests which, how ever, does not mar the courts them selves.
 The property is just seven blocks from the Y. M. c. A., but by cutting through Capitol park and making an- other short cut at Twenty second street and Eighth avenue, 1t is an easy 10 minutes walk. The Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power companys Nor wood line and the boulevard bus line both pass the property on Twenty fourth street.
 In this exceedingly attractive park of tennis courts the Young Mems Christian association has a splendid as- set which will be a boon to its mem bers and attract many new ones.

Chattanooga, June G. Especially Birmingham batsmen were well on their way to another victory to- day when rain fell in torrents for 10 minutes after the first half of the opening inning was completed. The downpour ceased but the grounds, which had borne up un- der terrific rain of the night be- fore and at intervals through the morning, were declared unfit for play. Marshall was pitching for Chattanooga and Grimes was slated to go in the box for the Barons
 Marshall opened by flaming Me Donald, which proed a good man for Birmingham, as on the previous day. Derrick singled solidly to cen ter but went out trying to purloin. Meusel followed with a huge triple far over Messengers head, and scored when Clark parked Graff's shins with another hit. Clark went out stealing as the game ceased.
 The increased hitting of his team has brought the nearest approach to a regular smile that has adorned Molesworth's visage this season. The Barons were meating the ball solidly all Monday and were start ing out the same way today, not withstanding that all the opposing pitchers seemed to have plenty of stuff
 A double-header will be staged tomorrow with Marshall and John son pitted against Grimes and Per- ryman for Birmingham.
 Following the double bill in Chattanooga today, the Barons re- turn home for long stay. They open with the Nashville Vols at Redwood tomorrow afternoon. The Vols meet the Barons in three games and then comes the Little Rock Travellers for a three e-game stay The Chicks are next in line for trio and then the Lookouts pay Redwood another visit.
 Following this the Barons hit the trail again, touching three of the northern towns of the circuit for final visit until near the close Of the season. Following the three series affairs in the northern part of the circuit, the Barons come home for another lengthy stay, in cluding the attraction of July and quite few games afterwards.
