ANOTHER GAME IN
TENNIS TOURNEY

Have Narrow Escapes From
Being Eliminated by
Two Veterans.

storms seriously interfered with the
progress Of the thirty .eventh an
nual national singles tennis chama
pionship tournament here today. only
three matches being finished during

N. Y, and w. T. Tilden, Jf, Of
Philadelphia and both had narrow
escapes from being eliminated as the
result OF long drawn out contests

Merrill Hall, respectively. Murray
did succeed in defeating Alexander
Just as the rain terminated the days
play, but the downpour found Til.
den and Hall still battling for the
fifth and deciding sets.
Murray Has Oft Day.
Murray appeared to have an off
day after his excellent play Of the
preceding afternoon and it was only
BY calling on his super-speed and skill
at critical moments in the struggle
that he was able TO win his way into
the round before the semi-final.
Against Alexander's steady and ac-
curate game the Californian swung
from sparkling to very indifferent
tennis, making errors in netting or
outing the ball and then pulling out
games By most remarkable service
and driving. When. he was playing
at his best his superiority was shown
by the two love sets (which he won
during the match which ended at 6-S;
SO; 90; 40; 90.
Iilden was not so fortunate for
lie could not stop Hall at critical
moments despite his splendid COM
niand OF strokes and the end of the
play found Hall leading at 6.3; 10;
rs; So deuce, and Iilden serving.
Previous to these matches ).
Howard Voshell of Brooklyn had won
his way into the semi-final round in
The upper half of the draw by de-
feating 1t. Craig Biddle of Phila-
deiphia by scores OF o.; 6-3; 81.
Voshell owed his victory to his
faster foot work and ability to out
race Biddle Tor the net or pass him
along the side lines.
Niles Wins Easily.
Nat Niles the former Harvard
star, playing from the Longwood
club of Boston, was not seriously ex-
tended in winning from Z. II. Binzen
of New York, taking three seto at

casionally the appetite may be too raw

general condition of the colt and the
droppings should pc observed daily.
Usually not over one pound Of grain
per 100 pounds of live weight should
be fed until the animal is two years
old. A liberal supply of salt and good
water and plenty of fresh air and eXer-
else are essential for the proper de-
velopment of young horses. Idleness
succeeding exercise will cause consti-
patton. 1t is often said that horse is
made during his first winter. Certainly
this is critical time in the animals
life, and at no other age will proper
feed and attention do as much to make
of him good horse. If stunted during
the first winter he never will gain
proper size and shape.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity of feed should be in
creased somewhat, the colt tied up in
his stall and handled frequently. Edu-
cation by gentle and careful but firm
handling at this age will save later
much strenuous labor.

Such tales as these are told of by

dences of the all-pervading humor of
this light-hearted people and should
be taken in the same spirit by others.
In spite of them the Irish worship the
memory of st. Patrick above all other
saints.
1t should not be imagined, however,
that the traditions concerning the pa
iron saint of Ireland are all humorous.
Some Of them embody that sense of the
beautiful which is also an Irish char
acteristic. One of the most attractive
of these tales is that of st. Patrick

Colts that are kept growing make

Is good practice when not carried to
extremes, If the feeder is not careful
it may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards it's development.
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay Is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is one
of the best roughages for growing, but
because of it's relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement it with other roughage such
as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety to the ration
such method of feeding alfalfa would
offset any likelihood Of kidney or
bowel irregularities. Sheaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
ment other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal or glu-
ten feed will add protein and lend vari-

fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-
tons for the first winter are: Two

bran.
Silage should not be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have a cooling eff

The first day of February is the an

"patroness" of Ireland and of Fleet

fer of an Irish bard, and her story
seems to have fired the Celtic imagi-
nation. Wherever the early Irish mis-
sionaries wandered in western Europe,
from Cologne to Seville, churches or
abbeys will be found dedicated to her
honor, and wherever the "exiles OF
Erin" may migrate the name of Bird
