The great Morse girl, who was sched,
uled to play through in defence of her
championship, decided to follow the
advice of her physician and refrain
from competition for few weeks. fol-
lowing the injury she received about
ten days ago 1t is not even certain
whether "Marvelous Molla" Will be
able to take the courts at Ardsley next
week, or at Philadelphia the following
week, when the national championship
tourney Will be played.
We have become so accustomed to
seeing Miss Bjurstedt the leading fig
ure in all important women's tourna-
ments in the last three or four years
that any championship event in which
she is not among the numbered is much
like "Hamlet" without the Melancholy
Dane. Yet the tournament that began
Yesterday was not lacking in stars; far
from it.
Chance for Mrs. Wightman
In the upper half Of the draw, with
apparently free and untrammelled
path direct to the finals, is Mrs. George
W. Wightman, former national cham
pion. Miss Helene Pollak, who per
formed so well at Pelham last week
and Mrs. Robert lie Roy, are about the
strongest opposition the former Hazel
Hotchkiss will be called upon to meet
before the championship round.
The main strength of the draw lies
in the lower half, and here indeed
we find quality. Miss Marion Finder
stein, of Boston, who, with Miss Ell
eanor Goss, ranks as one of the most
brilliant and promising of our younger
players; Miss Elconora Sears, several
times national doubles champion, and
one Of the craftiest players on the
courts, and Miss Goss herself, who has
finished as runner-up to Miss Blur
stedt in most of the big tournaments
within the last twelve months, are all
bracletted in the lower section, and
one of these will go out probably to-
morrow, when they seem fated to clash
in the round before the semi-finals.
Yesterday 5 play, which began in the
morning and embraced two rounds of
play in the singles, did not develop
anything in the nature of an upset
The favorites came through according
to form, and in a majority of cases by
surprisingly one-sided scores.
AS q striking illustration Of this, let
me cite the case of Miss Zinderstein
who won her sets in successive rounds,
as follows: 60, 6-2, Go, Go. ana
Go, 6-1 victories that placed the
fair haired Boston girl in the round
before the semi-fnal, where she leads
the rest of the field.
Mrs. Wightman only had one match
TO play, and that she won at Go, Go
from Miss Helen Simpson
Miss Zinderstein Shines
Miss Zinderstein, who has learned
much of her tennis under Mrs. Wight
mans tutelage, was full of fire in her
play yesterday, her ground strokes te-
ing remarkable for speed and pace, and
her backhand yolleys were very good to
watch. Her victims, in turn, were Miss
Florence Pond. Mrs. Z. Fl. Thompson,
and Miss Martha Bayard, the schoolgirl
star.
Miss Goss gained a default in the
first round, and in the second she de-
feated Miss Edith Handy at 6--l, &c,
going very we'll, both off the ground
and overhead.
Miss Sears took tho measure of
Mrs. A. Elliott Ranney in the first
round by score of 6-2, Go. and
then defeated Mrs. Ernest Eberhardt
at 6--8, 6-1, making matters difficult

Although Ralph De Palma did not
have the satisfaction of winning the
big race at indianapolis on Saturday
with his Packard 9O5, he did at least
get credit for two new speed records
made in the course of trials before the
contest. He was timed for five miles
on the speedway at the rate Of 1895
miles an hour and for ten miles at
1908 miles an hour. These were off,
cial times. The car was the same with
which he attained about $50 miles an
hour on the beach at Daytona, but De

DAVIES OPERA co.
At HIGH SCHOOL
THIS EVENING
Company OF Eight Members LED BY
Harry Davies, Famous Welsh
Tenor,

This evening at the high school audi.
torlum the Davies Opera company will
offer the second number Of the high
school lyceum course. This company
under the leadership OF Mr.. Harry Dav.
les. famous Welsh tenor, will present the
light opera, "Olivettc."
Mr. Davies was born in Aberdare, and
was the son Of William Harris Risca
When a mere child he was adopted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Davies. Of Abcr-
dare. and Cmigratcd to the states with
them. At one time he resided at Ire
herbert. and sang under "Griff or
Crown" (Caradog) and Mr.. NJ. 0. Jones,
He now has a repertoire of % operas.
II Is doubtful IL any tenor has 80 in
tcresting and so lengthy n record Of APP
pcarances before the public as has MIR.
Davies. Mathematical and statistical
reckoningS do not ordinarily furnish the
most Interesting reading. but in Mr..
Davies case there is both profit and
pleasure to be derived from a glance at
a list that he has prepared giving the
name Of each opera in which he has
sung. and the number OF times he has
appeared in it. In conversation the other
day he was casually asked how many
roles he had sung during his professional
career.
"Ninety-ninc." he replied, land my
performances In them reach tho number
Of 3.4l0. My highest record for one part
is Pedro in King Dodo.' which 1 may
have sung 263 times. and my lowest the
Duke in Rigolctto,' which l have done
but twice. My rcpcrtory includes both
grand and comic opera, both musical
comedy and the popular show pieces OF
tho present day.
MY record as Thaddcus in The Bo-
hemian Girl which am singing at the
Castle Square this week. is 1913, while
other operas in which l have passed 80
performances are II Trovatorc.' Mar
tha.' The Chimes Of Normandy Fra
Diavolo.' 'Giroflc-Girofla,' The Mikado.'
The Mascot 'Olivcttc.' 'Pinaforc.' Rcd
Feather. Said Pasha.' The Yankee Con-
sui and Wang I might name dozens
Of other operas. but why pursue the sub
jcct natter"
To anyone who stops 20 think what II
means IT, learn and rchearse part, tao
amount Of work will seem astounding.
especially as Mr.. Davies is by no means
a veteran. He is, in fact. a young man,
and his voice is as strong and as fresh
as ever
The last occasion on which Harry
Davies appeared in Wheeling was when
he sang the part of Manrico in "Trnvu-
tore with the Aborn Grand Opera COM
pany. He at one time also took the part
OF "Fhnkcrton" in Madame Butterfly"

"MAYTIME"

No musical comedy and no operetta in
the annals Of the American stage can
compare its record OF success with that
of "Maytime." which will be the attrac-
ton at the Court theatre, Friday night
be: 21-22. Recent computations of au-
thoratative persons have figured that
"Maytime" in its two and a half years
Of life has earned more money than any
other musical play ever produced In this
country. But Court theatre goers know
well its beauty. its Understandable charm
its prodiguol success. They will want
chiefly to know who Is in the company
and to this query II may be said that the
Messrs. Shuhrrt have gathered together
with the utmost caro- most distin-
gntshed cast selected from tho two
famous companies of the Mcrrnpoli,an
run which extended continuously for
two years at the Shubcrt. the Lyric and
three other New York theatres.

PACIFIC FLEET IS
 IN HOME WATERS
PASSES SAFELY THROUGH PAN ANA CANAL AND ANCHORS
 AT BALBOA.

Aboard the Flagship U. s. s. New Mexico.-The Pacific fleet under the command of Admiral Rodman IS floating in Pacific waters
 Six dreadnoughts, led by the flag ship New Mexico, successfully nego- tiated the Panama canal-the largest ships that ever have passed through this waterway. The average time of passage for each warship from Colon to Balboa was 10 hours, eliminating anchorage time in Gatum lake.
 This is the biggest event in the history of the canal" said Governor Chester Harding of the canal zone, after the feat had been accomplished. These dreadnoughts are the largest ships and this is the largest fleet ever to pass through the canal"
 Governor Harding boarded the nag. ship at the Pedro Miguel locks and made the rest of the passage to Bal boa
 Admiral Rodman visited President Porras of Panama, who congratuiar- ed the naval officer on his success in negotiating the canal Approximate ly $500 sailors were given shore leave at Panama.
 To Admiral Rodman, who planned the operative organization of the ca- nal, was given the honor of direct ing the course of the rst dreadnought to make the trip. Through the reaches ing the course of the first dreadnought steamed at 13 knots an hour. On nearing the narrow confines of the Bas Obispo reach, however, John Con- stantine, canal pilot, who eschews na- vigating charts to the wonder or r0- val officers reduced the speed to five knots an hour
 Three hours from Gatum lake to flagship passed under the ominops 1 shadow of Gold hill, the backbone of the continent, where many slides have occurred. In passing Gold hill, the warship, from whose rails the pro verbal biscuit could have been tossed ashore, entered the locks at Pedro Miguel.
