Wisconsin Have Tennis.

Wisconsin tennis authorities have
decided to stage a state championship
tournament open only to players who
residents Of that state The state will
be divided into sections and each
club asked to hold a tournament to
decide the club championship. These
title-holders will, in turn, meet in a
series of divisional matches and when
tie losts have been reduced to a win
ner in each section, such survivors
will meet in a round-robin series for
the State title. Pot hunters from 9th
err states will have to confine their ac-
tivities to such invitation tournaments
as offer prizes in keeping with their
ideas of their own drawing powers.

CenSOrs Delay Sports.

English war censors work just as
carefully with blue pencils and shears
on American sporting matter caabled
to Europe, as they do on news of far
greater importance. The score of the
Harvard Yale football game was held
up for more than twelve hours, much
to the disappointment of Harvard al
uni who had gathered to dine and
celebrate the forecasted victory. The
score of the recent six-day bicycle
race was received with the daily rec
ords of the teams eliminated to a
point where it was impossible for
English sporting editors to make
head or taail out of what ives left Re
suits of boxing bouts in Australia are
made public from one to two days
late, so that the sportsman at home
has little advantage over his brother
in the trenches.

worlds champion skater, is expected
to compete against the leading pro-

during the winter; an All-Hawaitan
polo team will play in the east next
spring; several South American rifle
teams are planning to shoot in the

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-While the
European war has killed all chances
OF international sports competition on
the scale of the Olympic Games and
the Americas Cup Regatta, the COM
ing year will not be without its inter
sectional and international contests.
In fact the indications point to d
wider range of sport meetings during
1916 than ever before in the history of
amateur competition in this country.
National championship contests are
expected to draw entrants from all
parts of the continent and with the
interest of all sections bound up in
the play of their respective contest
ants the dearth of international
sports, planned for 1916, will be par
TALLY forgotten. The Pacific Coast
will send a powerful and well-bal-
anced tennis team to eastern courts
for several months of tournament
play; Stanford University will enter d
team in the Intercollegiate track and
field championships and the winning
crew in the Far Coast intercollegiate
regatta will row at Poughkeepsie.
An easter polo team will play in the
middle and far west while one or
more from these sections will COM
pete in teh national championships
later in the summer. With the COM
ing of autumn intersectional football
games will be more frequent than
ever, the south, east, middle and far
fest elevens meeting in numerous
gridiron contests.

Sparks World Famous Shows
are billed to exhibit at Stanford
Wed. Sept 20 and from the
newspaper reports preceding
them their exhibition will be
worth going many miles to wit
ness.
Among the many features the
show carries is what is claimed to
be the largest land animal on
earth. 1t is an elephant SAID to
be three inches taller than Jumbo
and half ton heavier.
Some idea of her immense size
can be OBTAINED when you con-
slider that she is II feet, z inches
tall and weighs over S tons In
other words she weighs as much
as 10 ordinary horses.
Another extraordinary feature
with the show is Capt. Wesley's
troupe of educated Seals and Sea
Lions. These interesting sea
animals perform the most seem
ingly impossible feats balancing
chairs, umbrellas and whirlins
brands of ire while CHM ing lad
ders, walking tight ropes and rid
ing the backs of galloping horses.
This feature battles description
and must be seen to be appreciat
ed.
MANY other wonderful things
are to be seen with this mammoth
show, and the main performance
beneath the big tent, will present
number of the most marvellous
foreign acts of the century.
The menagerie of Wild animals
carried with the show is complete
in every detail, and contains rare
and curious specimens of the
earth's most interesting and
curious animals.
A mile long street parade OF
dazzling splendor, beautiful wo-
men, and handsome horses, inter
spersed with three brass bands
and steam caliope will traverse
the streets shortly before noon,
and this feature alone will be
worth going many miles to see.
Don't forget the date and the
place of exhibition, Stanford,

tenance A representative from the
Agricultural and Road Depart
ments were present from Wash

and maintenance OF roads, and
the manner IN which States should
apply for Federal aid.
Among important things were
reports of progress or the three
highways. c. g. Crab now State
Road Inspector iu the building of
Rockcastle roads represented
+ Boone Way and did the subjec:
justice. In his remarks he gave
due credit to Mt Vernon for its
great work in originating and
pushing this great highway thru

very flattering manner the con-
nection the writer had in the work
which of course made us feel
pretty good, thank you. especi-
ally when the N EN- bers and aud
fence did some cheering. But
their call on the old Boone Way
worker for speech. put us up a
gainSt it. He advised the aud
lience that While he could do some
writing, bat it was beyond him
to make an address and hoped
that Mr.. Crabb's report and
speech on the subject was suffi
Gent to cover the case in hand.
The nine states belonging to
the organization had representa-
|tives present.
