SIMMONS DOPED FOR
TOURNEY winner

Sheldon Simmons return from
work in Dayton has shattered the
hopes Of other tennis players who eX-
pected to win the city tournament.
The tourney will be started in the
near future and many entries are ex-
pected by Playground Director Ly-
Doult.
For the last two years Simmons has
been the victor and this year there
seems no chance Of anyone stopping
him.
In 1916. when a tennis team was or
gained at Richmond High School,
Shell was made the captain and he
led his teammates to victory in the
only match Of the year at Anderson.
Again in 1917, Simmons, being far
above the other men in tennis ability,
was appointed captain. When the An
derson high school team came to Rich
mond to play they were defeated main
ly by the playing of the Richmond
captain.
Anyone who wishes to enter the
city tourney may sign up with Mr..
Lyboult at the Twentysecond Street
Playground.

market declined slightly further and
recovered somewhat. Weakness OF
grain and hogs turned provisions
