CRANE TRIMS W|GHTMAN
Will Meet Gould in Challenge Round
for National Court Ten
mis- Title.

BOSTON. Mass, April 6.-Joshua
Crane of the Tennis and Racquet Club,
who is Bostons leading court tennis
player. will tomorrow make another
effort to take the national singles cham
pionship title from Jay Gould of PhiIa-
delphia. Crane once more earned the
chance to meet the champion by beat
ing George w. Wightman, also of the
Boston club, in the final round of the
annual singles competition here yes
terday.
1t took Crane four sets to beat
Wightman, whose play throughout the
tournament has been unexpectedly
good. Crane won, 6-3, in the first set,
and then took things too easy in the
second and lost il, IS. This reverse
seved to put Crane on his game again.
and in the last two sets he played re-
markedly fast tennis, allowing his OPP
ponent only three games. Crane won
these sets by 60, 81.
In the last set Wightman offered very
every shot as well as he could, as If
working into form for his match
aginst Gould. Crane and Gould, who
will meet in the challenge round at the
Tennis and Racquet Club tomorrow,
have played against each other no less
than twelve times in national tourna-
ments. Jay Gould has invariably been
the winner, and it has been many years
since Crane has taken even set from
him. In fact. Jay Gould in his last
eight matches against Crane at court
tennis, has won each time in straight
sets.

they will play game at American

WAR AND COLLEGE SPORTS

Celed.
Holy Cross is bringing a strong COM
bination to meet the local university.
1t already has won victories over
Princeton and one or two other big
institutions since it left Worcester, and
apparently is as good as the best of
collegiate combinations. The contest
should he one of the best played of the
year.
A meeting of the graduate managers
of athletics III many of the big uhlNer-
sites is being held today in New York
to determine what shall be done reia =
tive to intercollegiate competition.
Some of the institutions already nave
announced that they will call OF all
sports scheduled for the remainder OF
the scholastic year, but there is even a
larger element faVoring the retention
of sports a. they stand.
One question likely to be brought up
is the matter of finances. The majority
of big universities depend entirely on
gate receipts to finance thHlr athIetic
games, and there viii be some question
as to whether they can afford to carry
out elaborate schedules with the uncer-
tainty of support in the way OF PAID
admissions. 1t is certain there VIII be
less money in the pockets of the pubic
for the next two or three years for eN-
penditures on pleasure than there has
been for the last several. None of the
colleges desires to make heavy inroadS
on its surplus funds. and thus hamper
the activities which are sure to be re-
sumed following the cessation of hos
tilitieS.
Some of the colleges probably will be
hard hit by having their athletes be-
come members of military or naval or
ganizations, and thus be compelled to
put out weaker teams. This, however
should benefit the student bodies of the
institutions. inasmuch as it would give
many individuals a chance to take part
in such competition who previous tc
this have not had the opportunity
With the half dozen or SO stars in ca cf
college gone, the average student will
have much more prospect of becoming
a regular if he goes out for a team.

comes assured that professional base
ball will be among those forms of
amusement to contribute.
This does not mean. however. that
patrons of the game will be compelled
to foot the bill. According to Manager
Griffith if base ball is taxed prices of
admission will not be raised, as the
clubs will dig into their exchequers
for the levies imposed by the federal
government. Discussing this prospect
in Washington yesterday. Griffith said:
IF base ball is taxed, it seems as
sured it will be. the patrons of the
game will have to pay no part Of it. My
club. at least. will not advance its
prices. but will pay out of it's own

System Important Habit.

One of the most important habits to form is that of system. It is a habit natural to some women, but to most 1t is an acquired one. It is generally cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. .y It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi- able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless inconven- fences and increase ones usefulness to other people.-Exchange.
