She had the almond-shaped eyes,

OF the race Of Israel Of old. But she
had one besetting sin-to look back.
Lamenting never gets you any
where. No matter what happens in
life, Forward! Forward! should be
the motto. Idit was Abraham's
niece by marriage. With her hus-
band, Lot. she lived in Sodom, on
the shores of, the Dead Sea. This
Lot was very wealthy; and not q
bad Lot. Sodom and Gomorrah
were famed for their monstrous
sins, and Lot was warned by an
angel to fee the place-AND NOT
TO LOOK BACK. Its destruc-
ton by fire was near. Lot obeyed.
But Idit looked back-with regret,
and was turned into pillar of salt,
Josephus declared that he identified
her form in a crystalized rock-salt
formation in the vicinity. Today

And as, during the last 20 years or

has made immense strides, this will
be the more intolerable. There are
at present over 1000 women gradu-

Tournament at Asheville.

ASHEVILLE. N. c., July 22.-Play in
the first round of the mems singles
in the championship tournament of
the Southern Tennis Association on
the courts of the Asheville Country
Club yesterday resulted in several
splendid matches. Esmond Phelps of
New orleans, who defeated Jerome
Moore of Atlanta by default, is one
of the south's leading players, and
his chances for premier honors are
considered bright. Rutledge Capers
of Augusta defeated E. M. Porter of
Asheville, 6-3, 60. E. s. Mansfield
of Atlanta defeated E. H. Burke of
Asheville, 80, 81. 6-1.
Miss Irving Murphy of New Orleans,
holder of the women's singles cup, is
expected to arrive today. Miss Lou
Use Todd of Louisville and Mrs Rob-
ert johnson of Asheville are the only
women entered so far. H. c. Laughlin
of New York will play today in the
mems doubles.
The race is believed to be between
Phelps of New Orleans and J. K. Orr
or e. v. Carter Of Atlanta, in the sin
giles. while the Atlantans probably
will be main contenders for team
honors. The winners of the doubles
will participate in the national meet
ing in Boston August IL. The entry
list is as large as usual, and the
grounds are in splendid shape, despite
heavy rains. Stanley Rowland of
Asheville is referee.

SEVERAL DEALS ARE
REJECTED BY PIRATES

President Barney Dreyfus of the
Pittsburgh base ball club returned
home from New York, where he at
tended the meeting of the National
League club owners on Thursday. He
reports that several propositions in
the line of player deals were made to
Pittsburgh by other clubs which had
some questionable timber to dispose
of, but all of these were turned down
by Dreyfuss and Bezdek. A deal in
another direction for a good infielder
is possibility of the next week or
ten days.
President Dreyfus confirmed the re-
port of the signing of Infielder Mccain
of the University of Montana. His

A|N|SP|L|NGUP
POSTPONED GAMES
Amateur Base Ball Leagues
May Have Difficulty in Fin
ishing Their Schedule.

Schedules in the amateur leagues
are being set back considerably by
the continued rainy weather. So many
contests have been postponed in the
last ten days that the circuits prob
ably will be confronted with the
problem of running their seasons
longer than is intended or cutting
short their list of games.
Three of the four leagues not only
have to complete their regular sched-
ules, but must hold a final series fol-
lowing the last game. This is due
to the division made in the schedule
which creates two winners and makes
necessary series between the victor
in the first half of the season and
the victor in the second half.
1t is more than possible that the
championship series this summer Will
not begin until September, if the
leagues determine to play off all their
postponed games. Of course. if the
same team in each league were to
win both series. the result would help
considerably by doing away with the
necessity of devoting a week to the
final series between wlnne-. OF sec
tions.
No definite arrangements have been
made as yet about an intercity series
with Richmond or Baltimore, or with
both of those cities. Richmond sent a
letter to President Robert H. Young
of the Amateur Base Ball Association
some time ago stating that it had re-
organized its amateur base ball
league and desired to meet Washing
ton in the intercity series this fall.
Richmond also expressed a desire to
have Baltimore enter the series pro-
vided Baltimore would meet the same
eligibility requirements that Wash
ington and Richmond observe.
Frank Greer, former Eastern High
School and Catholic University ath-
lete. got back to the United States
yesterday on the Agamemnon. Greer
has been in France about year and
during that period has served as ath-
letic officer for the 5th Division Greer
expects to be out of the Army within
the next two or three days.

Finally he hit upon a plan that
