Although the shrinking violet OF an
author would rot step forward and
acknowledge his Cor herr responsible
ity, Mrs. lingo Hartman christened the
tournament hello yesterday or the clay
courts of the New York Lawn Tennis
Club progressive bridge shuttle
mixed doubles" tourney.
It is not for US to argue az to just
what particular branch Of lawn tennis
inventions yesterdays affair belongs,
but let it suffice to state that each
match was limited 10 FIVE games, with
the winners on Court l progressing to
Court 2, and the losers remaining on
the first court until they had won a
match.
A change in partners was made after
each match, with the result that in
some cases tapless man or woman
player never progressed beyond Court /.
Expert Bookkeeping
After expert accountants had been
called in, following the downpour OF
rain in the lete afternoon that put
an abrupt end to further playing, it
was figured out that Miss Marie Wag
ner, national indoor champion, led the
women players with a total Of forty
three games won. Mrs. Bernard Stem
was tied for second place with Mrs.
w. II. Pritchard. both having won thir-
ty-fve games.

Mills and Mrs. Albert HUMPHREYS were
next in line with thirty games each,

Athletic Contests Take Sec
ondary Position as Military
Training Is Rushed

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 12.-While
Yale athletic officials will not admit
that there will be no college sports this
fall with outside teams, they state that
the Yale football teams will play no
games this season against other col
leges. except a freshman gridiron con-
test with the Princeton and Harvard
1921 elevens each.
Instead of arranging matches and
organizing varsity squads after the
opening of college, two weeks ago, the
athletic officials have worked along the
line of class and group teams, with the
result that the football work this fall
will consist of inter-Yale contests
largely. There probably will be no
varsity teams in football, rowing and
track athletics.
First Clashes To-day
The class and inter-Ysle sport pro-
gramme will begin tomorrow. The
football work will be under the direc-
ton of Head Coach Tad Jones, the
rowing under the coaching of Professor
Mather Abbott. the former Groton
School coach, who has been assistant
coach to Guy Nickalls for two seasons.
and the track work under the technical
direction of Coach John Mack.
Jones is assisted by DR.. Arthur
Brides. the former Yale line coach. and
Dy Charley Gait. who was member
OF the Yale varsity squad last fall
He would have played guard in the final
games Of the season except for an III
ness which has kept him out OF mill
tary service.
He is the only member of the var,
sity team of last season who is still

Andy Carruthers, arrested at Lib
eral on order of Cecil Harberson,
chief of the City Hall detectives, and
alleged to be one Of the trio who
robbed the Maize bank on November
/, arrived in Wichita Friday evening
in the custody of Ed Fitzpatrick, mar
shall of the city court. Carruthers is
said by the detective to be the bandit
who rode out of Maize in the rear
seat of the stolen car after the rob-
berry. Detective Harberson has known
for week that the robbery of bank
was planned. He has had four 3O3
high power Savage rifles and two
sawed off shot guns at City Hall in
readiness to give chase. When the
State bank of Corwin was reported
robbed yesterday morning he was not
surprised, as information had reached
him that bank near Wichita was to
be robbed Thursday, Carruthers' ap-
pearance at Liberal, not far from
Corwin. several days ago indicates,
so Officer Harberson asserts, that he
had planned to participate in the
Corwin robbery with Mayfleld and
Dunlap. The fact that Mayfield and
Dunlap did not pull off the robbery
on Thursday but waited until yester-
day is further indication, he says
that they went into that section ex-
pecting to meet Carruthers, and when
he, being in Jail, failed to show up
they continue without his aid
