The winners in the first round were Carroll Blake, Richard Me Coy' Orton Blake, Dewey Davis, Moses Jacobs and Sterling Foster over Ed Cum mins, Tinsley Harrison, aalph Webb, C. smith, William Robinson and Paul Pen ney
 The first match was between Carroll Blake and Cummins and resulted in fa- Vor of Blake by the score of 6-3 6-2. These youngsters were a little nervous at the beginning of their match put settled down and played some good tennis. Young Blake played a classy game for boy of his age and will probably reach the semi finals.
 Cummins gave his opponent considerable opposition in the second set but showed a lack of practice
 The closest and best match of the aft ernoon was staged when Mccoy and Har- rison tied up for their grueliing match. This contest was a hum,"er and was hard fought. Mccoy won the toss and liar AASSt. oesbi ecu oSiN IhCSOyf tOOh IldI = risons first service and Harrison took the next two games
 Mccoy soon found out that he had met a fighter worthy of his steel, so he inn mediately put on a full head of steam and won the first set, 6-y. It was the second set that was the heart breaker for Harrison He started in to win this set and was 5-4 at one time but let Me Coy take his service. Th- snatch was as close as a match could be from this time until the close. Each man won his game alternately. Harrison was stroking in spectacular form while Mccoy was not to be denied the taste of victory. He was meeting his opponents sma shes at the net with well placed shots at cross court
 It was a great match and a hard one for Harrison to lose. Mccoy was the same steady and reliable player that he always is and will be a Tartar for the man who defeats him. Harrison lost by being un- able to pass his opponent at the net Score, 6-3, 9-11.
 Jacobs won over Robinson by playing the safety first" game that he is fla nous for. Robinson was stroking we'll but Moses kept feeding them on his back hand. Score, 6-S, 6-S.
 Orton Blake won over Webb by default

Carmen HU IS Bested in Pitchers Battle

Yesterdays defeat for the Barons while the leading Crackers and the Pel- jeans were idle. dropped Moley's men a half game more from the top of the Southern league. Consequently this morning Moley's men are about in the same place they were three weeks ago when they started the drive which landed them on the top of the ladder on July 1.
 The duration of the Barons' lead was about as brief as possible and since the following Monday they have gradually been on the decline. The Baron cause is not a hopeless one, however.
 Moley's men complete their stay in Nashville today by playing a double header. Karl Black will probably work the first game for the Barons, with Ralph Comstock or Elmer Ponder oc- cupying the slab in the second con fiict.
 Roy Ellam will probably use Bill

In the first three frames Scott permit ted Baron runners to get on the bases yet the muchly needed pinch poke was always lacking. Webb singled to start the second and Red Smith was safe on Scotts wide throw to second. Haworth forced Webb at third Hill famed and Caton rolled out to Kaufflnan
 In the fifth the Barons loaded the bases before batter was retired, yet man. aged to squeeze but a single run out of the golden chance.

SOLEMN SERVICE
CONNIE VIBRATION
Of ALL SOUL-DAY

Today is All-Souls' Day, q day OF
solemn services in many churches,
when prayers are offered for the de-
parted.
Tonight candles will be lighted on
the tombs in historic old st. Michaeps
cemetery, a custom peculiar to Old
Spanish and French settlements, and
one faithfully observed in Pensacola
each year.
Aside from the impressive cere-
monials, the sight Of the ancient bur
ial ground aglow with Pickering
flames Is most unique, and attracts
hundreds each year.
The beautiful custom All-Souls' and
A1l-Saints' Day had its origin in the
early days, when Christians were ac-
customed to solemnize the anniver-
sary Of a martyrs death for Christ
at the place Of martyrdom. In the
fourth century, feighborhood dioceses
began to interchange feasts, to trans
fer them and to join in common
feast. as is shown in the invitation
of St, Basil of Sesarea, in 397, to the
Bishop of the Province of Pontus.
frequently groups of martyrs suf-
fered on the same day, which natur-
ally lead to a joint commemoration.
The church, believing that every mar
tyr should be venerated, appointed
common day for all. At first, it was
said that only martyrs and ST. John
the Baptist were honored by a special
day. Other saints were added grad
ually, and increased in number, when
a regular process of canonization was
established by Gregory w, who was
Pope from 827 to S44, extended the
celebration of November 1-2 to the
entire church.
The Feast of All-Saints and ALI
Souls originated in 81 A. D., and are
observed by English, Lutheran and
Catholic churches.

PAINTING COMES TO LIFE.
One of the most impressive scenes
ever reproduced on the screen is the
INSTALLATION of Hoffman's wonderful
painting, "Mary Magdalene Brought
Before Christ" which will be shown in
the Metro wonderfully starring Ethel
Barrymore, ''The Lifted VEIL" which
will be seen at the Isis theater to-
morrow.
The picture is first seen as stained
glass window in the church, where
the heroine. played by Miss Barry
more, is worshipping. Impressed by
the powerful sermon and the sight
of the SIN breaking through the
stained glass picture, the picture
itself seems to assume life in her
minds eye.
The figures of the painting are
seen to move and the whole impress
sive scene, when the mob drags Mary
Magdalene before Christ, is acted be-
fore the spectator up to the moment
when Christ shames the woman's cap
tors with the words: "Let him that
is without sin among you cast the
first stone" =
Gradually the mob is seen to stink
away, leaving the two principal fig
ures together, and then desc dissolve
again into the stained glass window.
The experience has a profound eff
feet on the life and thoughts of Clo-
rinda Giledsleeve, the heroine. In
cidentally, the scene furnishes an OPP
portunity for remarkable photogra-
ply.
