known speakers from Oregon and
Washington on the program. The
convention follows by one month the
grand lidge convention in Atlantic
City, and inasmuch as the state as

considerable work to decide upon In

to be made at the national conven.

]. BEESON WINS PARK
TENNIS TOURNAMENT

John Beeson of Talent will have
his name engraved on the Lithia
Park Tennis cup as the winner Of
the second tournament held here. In
1917, Adams of Talent, won the
singles championship. Since then he
lost in a greater tournament and will
have a gold star placed after his
name on the cup. Mr.. Adams enlist
ed in the flying corps and was killed
in an aeroplane accident in England.
Last year there was no tournament.
Beeson at one time was regarded
as one of the best tennis players in
Oregon and those who saw the ex-
hibition he put UP Saturday are un-
willing to concede that he could not
give the best of them q run for
their money despite the fact that he
has played very little tennis for two
years. Steady as rock, he kept
the younger players who faced him
,dashing from corner to corner until
a we'll placed smash scored the point.
. Kincaid, an Ashland boy, was run
,ner-up and provided the sensation
of the affair by defeating Hyde, the
Oregon Agricultural College cham
pion. Hyde's downfall may be par
TALLY charged to lack of practice,
but this should not detract from the
showing made by Kincaid who Is
conner. The local boy played a fast
game in the finals against Beeson
and forced the Talent player to ex-
tend himself to the limit.
There was insufficient time to fin
ish the doubles scheduled and Allen
and Kincaid of Talent were the
lucky ones in the drawing to decide
the winner. ",
Interest in tennis has been dor
mant during the war years, but with
this summer quite number of ten
mis- players are working out on the
Lithia park courts and the game
promises to come back into its own.
The lower court in the park has
been oiled and with a good rolling
will be ready for play. arr1t ~

A Victory jubilee. featuring dis play of fireworks that has never been attempted in Connecticut before will be held in Bridgeport on May '. ac- cording to plans disclosed today by those forwarding the project.
 It was impossible to obtain today a. complete outline of the program From members of the executive com mittee which includes E. F. Won Wettburg, D. Fairchild Wheeler and A. E. Lavery, it was learned that the fireworks display is to include many remarkable innovations brought about by the war.
 The plan of the committee is to stage the greatest open air celebra- ton Bridgeport has attempted. It will start at o'clock and end about II o'clock at night. The site has not been selected, but it is generally un- derstood that the committee will ne gotiate to stage the affair on Steeple- chase Island, where the danger of fire is small.
 A sham battle between two small battleships, depicting the utter futility of a German man-of-war to stand against the guns of a United States naval vessel will be the big feature of the display The Connecticut Fireworks Company of West Haven, already engaged to put on the dis play, will produce this exhibition in Bridgeport at financial loss. The scene will show two ships of a length of 50 feet drawn up in battle forma- ton. They will open up a broadsides at each other when the signal is given. The sham battle will last nearly 45 nainRtes. The Casnaa.a. ct
