MISS CASSEL SCORES
OYER MRS. CABOT
Defeats Boston Tennis Con-
tender in National Indoor
Title Tourney.

To the credit OF Miss Glare Cassei
went the feature performance in the
national championship indoor tennis
tournament for women in the Seventh
Regiment Armory yesterday. She elm
mated Mrs. IT. II. Cabot OF Boston, who
the day before had established herself
as a contender by defeating Mrs S. F..
Morse. Though Mrs. Cabot proved I'M
equal TO the task OF nght!rg the relent-
less forcing tactics OF Miss Cassel the
matron from the brown bread and
Browning country saved one set from
the wreckage of defeat. The score was
rs, 6--1, Go.
Miss Cassel found It extremely diff
cult to tune her strokes to a winning
gait and Mrs. Cabot Just breezed through
the opening set. The Boston woman took
her position at the base line and with
sweeping foreriand that had both
direction and. power piled UP the points
TO the discontinue OF her rival. In the
second set there was a strange reversal
OF conditions Having warmed to her
task and got the gauge of her opponents
style Miss Cassel began TO find the
corners and the sides with her scorch-
Ing drives that barely cleared the bar
rier. A lob also proved difficult for
Mrs. Cabot to handle and her game fell
to pieces.
Play for the singles title saw the
completion OF the second round and the
elimination Of all except eight aspirants.
In the upper half the survivors, as
bracketed, are Miss Phyllis Walsh OF
Philadelphia and Mrs. George w. Wight
man OF Boston, and Mrs. e. C. sohst
and Miss Cassel. In the lower division
the pairingB are Mrs. Homer Stuart
Green and Miss Caroma VIM, and Mrs
NJ. B. Hun and Miss Marion FINDER
stein of Boston.
Mrs. Wightman Wins Twice.
Mrs Wightman was a double victor in
the singles. First she faced Miss Anna
Morse. who was making her debut as a
tournament player. Miss Morse was so
orerawed by the reputation OF her rival,
who held the national outdoor title for
three years, that she was unable to earn
a single game. In her second match
Mrs. Wightman triumphed over Miss
Helen Hooker. the thirteen year old
daughter Of Elon Hooker. al So. 60.
Neither match furnished anything like
a contest for the favorite for the cham
pionship.
Mrs Green, another formidable con-
tender. played splendid tennis In defeat
ing Mrs. w. H. Pritchard at ca, 6-I.
Mrs. Green had her long drives and her
service working in good order and soored
many point simply because she out
guessed her rival. Miss VIM scored In
similar way over Mrs. Percy Wilbourn.
who was not quite as fast as usual in
covering the court. The score was 6-3,

There was considerable interest in the
play OF Miss Walsh, who smashed her
way TO double victory. She eliminate

HERZOG MAY JOIN
YANKEES TO-DAY
Refuses Cut In Salary and Is
Likely to Come to Locals
by Waiver Route.
ny FREDERICK C. LIEB.

Charley Hersog, former live wire of
the Giant irield, who is under contract
TO the Boston Braves, may be a Yankee
by nightfall. II have been around the
National League quite a bit and would
not mind taking a whirl around the
American League before I hang up my
uniform for good" said Herzos yes
terday.
Her1og's case at present is In a rather
muddled state. Charley and George
washington Grant, the new Brave
owner, had a conference at the Imperial
yesterday at which Grant made "Herzy"
a proposition which @. Washington said
he considered "a very good offer" Her
zog, on the other hand, said that Every
good Offer called for quite a reduction
of salary from the $4,000 contract he
holds with the Boston club. Charley
says ne will not stand idly by and see
this stipend reduced.
Herzog's view of the matter is that
he has n bona fide contract entered into
by himself and the Boston club in good
faith last season and that he would be
FOOLISH to accept less money than the
sum OF $4,000 named in the contract.
Nor can Mr.. Grant release me during
the training season." added Hersog,
without my consent My contract is a
yearly contract and not one OF the new
monthly affairs. BY it club cannot
release me during the on season. only
during the actual playing season"
Waivers Asked For.
However, where the Yankees enter
Into the matter Is that Grant already has
asked waivers on Heyzog, and II is as
sun;ed that all National League clubs
rassed by the opportunity OF getting
Charles and his $4,000 contract. Re
quests for waivers then we're sent around

"ard was sent up from Baltimore on
Honuay night that Joe Kelley, Yankee
scout. searched all over Baltimore to
md Herzog to make him a proposition.
Discussing this yesterday Harry Spar
row. business manager OF the Yankees,
said: I'VE could not approach Herzog
while he Is tho property OF the Boston
Nationals. That would be contrary to
all baseball law. especially as the player
belonged to club OF a rival league"
However Kelley was sent out to as
certain what terms Herzog would re-
quest in the event the Yankees claimed
MIN and whether he would want to
bring his pet $4,000 contract along.
The New York Americans did not
make me any offer for Herzog," said
Grant yesterday. But it was significant
that Grant added. However, I am will
ing to entertain an; offer for Herpog
from any other club. II any other club
wants TO talk business with Herzog all
II needs do Is to see me-"

it and yet lived 10 gee it proved
the greatest step in New World
affairs. The league did not abso-
lutely prevent war but we lived
140 years with but one war, the
war between the states, and if
the proposed league should
minimize our danger even to that
proportion it should be endorsed
instanter.
The beauty and impressiveness
of Governor Sanders appeal is
impossible Of expression save by
this great orator himself, but
while he was showing how the
League Of Nations is a purely
American thonght in which we
should take pride, his people here
were seeing this and acknowledg-
ing further their pride in being
led by the logic of this strong
man who so invariably and sue
cessfully advocates the best inter-
ests of his people.
This address on The League of
Nations was heard by an unusual
ly large assembly as it had been
announced early in the week and
besides a full local attendance,
numbers of men and women
from different sections of the par
ish came in for the purpose of
hearing it.
Mr.. Sanders was accompanied
on his trip to Franklinton by
Mrs. Sanders and they were en-
tertained at lunch by Mrs. D. r.
Johnson, remaining over also for
the afternoon so that Mrs. San.

weeks we should know whether
most Of them will be home by
that time or not. Anyway, when
they do arrive, they will be given
