WAR VICTOR OVER navy
Makes Clean Sweep of Five Tennis
Matches on Columbia
Club Courts.

With the assistance of the eight
times former national singles cham
pion. William A. Larned, the War ten
mis- team yesterday triumphed over
Navy in the final of the Departmental
League series, making a clean sweep
of the matches. Only one of the five
doubles matches which were played on
the Columbia Country Club courts went
to three sets. War racketers proving
far too strong for their opponents in
all the others. Larned paired with
f. o. Leech and defeated Hancock and
Mann of Navy in straight sets, at 6-3.
60. Larned has been playing tennis
for the lgreater part of the summer at
the Chevy Chase Club with Ballard
Moore. and while he has slowed up a
little bit. his game in doubles is a diff
f1cult one to beat. particularly with such
careful player as Leech. Larned' s
great asset in his championship days,
his ability to diagnose his opponent
shots and forestall all attempts at pass
ing shots. was in evidence yesterday,
and he worked like a man who had
supreme confidence in his knowledge
of where the ball would be returned.
A. j. Gore and Capt. G.. w Pratt
found unexpected opposition in Bates
and Burton at No. for Navy. the for
mer pair winning at Is. 6-3. Ket-
tell and Simpson, Wars No. 3 pair, did
not give Calder and Rembert a game

In the opening clash the coast player
displayed a game that proved puEzling
to Inman. but later the fastener
steadied. and Strachan was pressed to
his best tennis before pulling ont the
victory in the second set. Inman led at
5-3, and appeared to he sure of taking
the honors in one set at least. hut
Sfrachan came forward with his ac-
curate driving game. and the rally that
ensued carried him to victory, but he
was near the point of exhaustion at the
close

After losing the first set they Were
on the verge of giving over the second
to Baggs and Noshell when they rallied
and saved the situation. The second set
had told heavily on both Baggs and
Noshell. and they could not interpose
any satisfactory defense against the
play of Throckmorton and Alexander in
the third set.

WILL ON TORN BIT OF PAPER
Maine Hermit, Who Had Been Thought
PenniIess, Left Thousands to

The will of Charles Purinton, who
died in this city last July, was adj
mitteu to probate recently, according
to an Auburn, Me, correspondent of
the Boston Globe. 1t was written on
a torn and ragged piece of paper by
the %testator.
1t was as follows:

All of the witnesses to the will are

posed to be practically Il pauper. but

in the little old house at Marston'S
Corner, in which he had lived for 30
years as a hermit, with hardly the
necessities of life. Mr.. Locke, to
whom he left his estate, is a nephew.
Mr.. Locke not long ago went to the
house at Marston's Corner and found
an old wallet hidden among the mat
tresSeS of the bed. In the wallet he
found the will, and tied up with it a
worn and battered copy of the New

SELECT HENS WITH RECORDS
Mate Them With CockereIs of Good
Laying Strains and Hatch From
Them-Progress Slow.

The hen AS we have her TO-DAY has
been developed very rapidly as an egg
producer. The jungle fowl from which
our laying hens have been developed
probably laid about two dozen eggs
a year at most. Perhaps many only
raised one brood. Hens of anything
like good type and breeding today
may average 40 Eggs a year. There
are, of curse, 2OO-egg hens and a few
that have made records much higher.
But these high records are by no
means III
1t is said that a high average for q
pullet is 100 eggs a year, for q hen
l40. But We nus remember that
hens. like cows. have their own indi-
viduality and it is not easy to find a
flock of high producers.
The way to increase the production
of eggs is to select pulletS or hens
with high records. mate them with
cockerelS from good having strains
and hatch from them. Even tllen. the
progress nus be slow. for there is ant
to be a large per cent that will he

safe way to raise hens that lay & large
