would automatically be retired from

no doubt continue active in the SER

great-grandda daughter of Benjamin
Franklin, and in his chronological
work for the Smithsonian Institution
the general has shown that he pos
sesses much of the scientific spirit of

Lacy and Hall Take
Doubles Tennis Title
From Buckingham Bryan

w. S. Lacy and DR.. r. w. Hall de-
feated E. T. Buckingham and Greg
Dry Bryan yesterday in the final set
Of doubles for the city championship.
Four Of the five sets were played
Thursday, but the games were equally
divided when darkness held sway and
it was necessary to play the deciding
set yesterday. from the beginning to
the end nothing but the finest exhibit
ton of tennis was displayed. Bryan
and Buckingham leaped izlto the con-
test, taking the first two sets e.,
6-3, making all indications point to
their success, but their opponents
gradually pulled together and turned
the table Of the third set, making the
score read Is in favor Of Lacy ana
Hall
The fourth set was a hard struggle,
neither side admitting defeat until the
score reached 81. 1t was them too
dark to finish the contest and it was
postponed until yesterday at 2 O'Clock.
In the last set Bryan and Buckingham
seemed to have lost all the ginger
which had been SO abundant the day
before and allowed the winner to cover
| up three games before they even got
started.
They then decided to take two
games In succession and repudiated
| two and took and gave another until
the contest ended with the score

and enthusiasm has been created ana
shown during the present tournament
and from all indications great progress

Sullivan Clan Very
Famous In History Of
Old Time Fistic Arena

OF all the fighting families OF the
world the clan of Sullivan easily takes
the lead in producing pugifistic cham
pions This observation Is suggested
by the fact that tomorrow will be the
birthday of the only tYins whoever
achieved boxing titles-Jack and Mike
Sullivan. Mike Twin won the well
terweight title in 1907 when he de-
lfeated Honey Melody, who had
lcoppe.d the belt from Joe Walcott.
Mike got the decision in a 2o-round
baut in Los Angeles, where later he
defended his horrors against Jimmy
Gardner.
| The latter claimed the title In 1910
when Mike outgrew the weller class.
There was a, cloud on Mikes title. as
! it was also claimed by Dixie Kid,
who had won on foul from Walcott
and later fought a draw with the Bar
BADGES Demon. Joe Thomas also
claimed the championship by reason
of his defeat of Melody, but Joe soon
entered the middlewegiht ranks and
was yanquished by Stanley Ketchel.
Jack Twin claimed the middleweight
little after Tommy Ryan and Kid Nc
lCoy had retired and Jack O'Brien had
loutgrown the class, and for some time
The was undoubtedly entitled to the
Ihonors
| he naO deIedLeQ HUGO nelly, Mike
Schreck, Tommy Burns, and other
good middleweights and light heavy
weights, and had fought draws with
Kelly, Jim. Flynn and Philadelphia
Jack OBr1en, as we'll as knocking out
Bill Squires. Early in 1908 Mike was
knocked out by a young miner from
Montana named Stanley Ketche1, and
Hack determined to get revenge. The
big twin stuck it out 20 rounds, when
Ketchel connected, and Jack. took
Inap. By this victory Ketchel became
the recognized mIddlewetght cham
Ipion.
One Of the first American cham
pions was Yankee Sullivan, mid
ldleweight who whipped some Of the
best of the middleweights, but was
defeated by Tom GIyer. Yankee, .
however, doesn't really belong as
Sullivan, for that was only his pro-
lfessional name It is unnecessary to
lrecan that the greatest Roman of
them all was John L., who was a le-
legitimate member in good standing of
1.-THE Sullivan clan. There are any
number of other Suflivans who made
their mark in the ring, burt we'll let
lie go at that, or otherwise the KelIys,
1cCarthys and Ffynns might get sore.
