BROOKS WARREN
 DOWN OPPONENTS
 IN ''Y TOURNEY
Interesting Matches Were Staged Yesterday-Finals Will Be Played on
 Saturday

There were some of the most interest," ing tennis matches played on the Young Mems Christian association courts yes- terday afternoon that have been staged during the tournament. L. A. Brooks and w. T. Warren have reached the semi-finals by defeating R. D. Johnston and William McWane.
 The McWane- Warren match was played first. Warren took the first set of this match without very much exer- ton, McWane's drives being out of bounds. But at the beginning of the sec ond set it was different story. Me Wanes drives began to strike near the tase lines and by launching an attack at the beginning of this set, he got nice lead of three games and took the second set by the score of GA. After the players had taken two or three min- utes rest they started the last and de- ciding set.
 Warren started in with a determina- tion to win the match and with some of the best placement shots seen on the Young Mems Christian association court. He soon had the set on ice. While Mc- Wane's game was brilliant at times, it was not sufficient to overcome the crafty and consistent game that his opponent was playing The match was featured by the skillful placing of the shots by Warren. He made his opponent run for every chance that he received, and this, coupled with his knowledge and exper-
 fence of the game, returned him the win ner.
 The Brooks-J ohnston match was the most interesting of the day. Both play CTS entered the court at o'clock and after a few minutes practice Brooks won the toss and chose the west court John ston won his service without very much trouble and Brooks followed this imme- diately by winning his own. Brooks started in on Johnston's service and won the next three games. The score stood Al in Brooks favor At this stage of the match Johnston took brace and took Brooks service by love game. He fol- lowed this by winning his own service and made the count all Both players were beginning to play spectacular game at this time and by some skillful strokes Brooks took the next two games and set, 6-4. The second set of the match was almost repetition of the first Johnston took the first serve and Brooks took the four succeeding games. John ston took another brace at this point, but the advantage was more than he could overcome, and Brooks took the set and match by 6-4 It was a fine exhibi- tion of the populuar sport and time and again the players returned chances that looked impossible. Johnston's game was remarkably steady and he covered the court with great ease. Brooks mixing his game up we'll with chop stroke and drive would skillfuly drop a ball over the net when his opponent was near the base line and drawing him near the net would lob beautifully for a de- ciding point Score, 6-4 6-3.
 Lange and Harrison could not play on account of wet courts, but will stage their match at Il today. Brooks will meet Martinsen at o'clock and War ren will play the winner of the Lange- Harrison match. The finals will be played Saturday afternoon.

run on base probably prevented the Barons from annexing the game. He appeared to be indifferent at all stages of the game. After his decisions in the ninth. a number of fans left the stands disgusted.
 The work of the arbiters in the second game was not so bad, al- though one of the rankest mistakes ever made by umpires occurred. It was in the third inning. Coombs and southy had been retired. Johnston walked and was thrown out stealing second. The Vols remained on the field and Caton, who was at the bat. stepped back into the batter's box. He fouled ball Marshall discovered that three men were down and the Vols left the field.
 Both Pfenninger and Kerin were surprised. They couldn't figure 1t out It certainly was a shame to disturb their peaceful slumber but 1t was necessary for the game to continue.
 It Is suggested that the umpires display a little more Interest in the game before they turn the fans heart from the national pastime.
 Cast aside the indifferent attitude, umps, and work like you are trying to act fair, anyway. F. B.

SHORT TALKS ON THRIFT.
Thrift and the New Notions of Edu.
cation.

&c. T. Howerton, A. & M. College.)
The newer notions of education are
that the people who must do the work
of the world must be educated for
that work. The man who farms for
a living must be shown how to double
his income-must be made an educat-
ed farmer. The people who work in
the productive industries must be
trained for these lines of work.
Learning to earn" is the new game
and earning to save is the new score.
The working boy must be educated
IN and FOR his work-must go right
on from where he is in the game of
life. His certificate of graduation
from college must be his increased
willingness and ability to work-to
earn-to keep right on keeping on
in the line of his work. The state
schools and the church schools must
come to this NEW NOTION OF ED

Large private institutions had to
lead the way to it. Witness the work
OF the Scranton schools-doing mil
lions of dollars worth of business and
educating millions of people IN
THEIR line of work. With the NEW
EDUCATION graduation day is in
the discard, and adult instruction is
the order of the day. The result of
this kind of education is THRIFT
thriving in muscle and brain product
and saving in every good thing-so
living that every day-every tomor-
row-fnds us further than today.
And remember that this is the def
nation of thrift with which we began
this series-"So managing yourself
and your affairs that you are worth
more today than you were y%ester-
day." Thrift, then comes from fright
vision"-a vision of this world and
world affairs in their relation to Me.
He who can make two blades of
grass grow where n grew before"
is thrifty, if he knows how to save
the ONE EXTRA blade by putting
it to a better use than when he grew
only one. But he is NOT thrifty if
he has had produced IN HIM a de-
sire to "spend" THREE blades where
he formerly spent the ONE.

A D PRAYER.
(By Alice A. Clark

o Father, my heart is filled with
happiness so wonderful that | am al
most afraid. This is my wedding
day, and l pray Thee that the beauti-
full joy of this morning may never
grow dim with years of regret for
the step l am about to take. Rather,
may its memories become more sweet
and tender with each passing ami
versary.
Thou hast sent to me one who
seems all worthy of my deepest re-
gard. Grant unto me the power to
keep him ever true and loving as
now. May l prove indeed a help
meet, a sweetheart, a friend, a stead
fast guiding star among all the
