FOREST HILLS, n. Y, September
6-An effort to overcome the handi-
cap of three matches lost was made
oy the Australian lawn tennis team
when they met the American four in
the final three events of their inter-
national team match here today. To
defeat the Americans the visitors faced
the task of winning all three events
and outscoring the Americans on sets
won on the two days play as it had
been agreed to count the sets won in
case of tie.

One bass, weighing three and one

On the lower Potomac sportsmen
are enjoying angling for plymouth
bass and rockfish. Several sportsmen
tried their luck on the water at Aqua

merous large bass and a few small
rockfish.
Across the river from Colonial
Beach Washington anglers succeeded
in landing long strings Of trout and
spots and a few rockfsh. The rock
fish weighed between two and three
pounds.
A number Of bass are being caught
in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal a

along that inland waterway large

WAR RISK PLAYERS
SEEM SURE TO WIN
Victory Over Navy Yard Yes
terday Gives Them Com
manding Lead for Title.

War Risk seems the almost certain
winner of the amateur base ball
championship of the District. The De-
partmental Ieaguers now are in front
with four victories and not a defeat
registered against them. which gives
them big margin on the two clubs
tied for second position.
Victory yesterday over Navy Yard
gave the War Risk men a margin
which is not likely to be overcome.
The team would have to lose both it's
remaining contests. and then would
stand no worse chance than being
tied. Naval Operations has another
game with the departmental champs,
but victory for that club. unless
Southern can win it's game from War
Risk, will avail nothing. In other
words. .the series has got down to a
point where War Risk has to win only
one of it's two remaining games with
Southern and Naval Operations in
order to get the pennant. Judging
by what the club has been doing, there
is not much doubt that it will accom-
plish that.
Yesterday War Risk took the meas
ure of the Navy Yard nine by II to 4.
Buck SterZer. who was on the slab for
Navy Yard. was hit hard and got mis-
erable fielding support. Schafer, who
worked for War Risk. was bumped
hard and was wild. He was removed
in favor of Jarboe, who had no trou-
BILE curbing the Gunmakers. McMa-
hon. Crooke and Mcbride led the Navy
Yard at bat with two hits each. and
Fraser and Blair got three each for
War Risk.
Naval Operations and Southern play
today in the amateur SERIES. The
game will begin at 4:3O instead of
$50. and be played at Union Park, as
usual.

Solitary Practice.

In the course of one of HIS lectures
DR.. David Starr Jordan once remarked
that all actual learning must be done
in solitude-the way of the student
was Indian file. To my early recogni-
ton of the fact that this truth ap-
plies also to the world Of sport I owe
much of my success at golf. In say
ing this 1 do not mean to write any
thing against that delightful feature
of the game-companions on the
links-for nothing can take the place
Of that, but l do mean that for the
ambitious golfer who wants to learn
how to control his shots a certain
amount of solitary practice is abso-
lutely necessary.
One may play we'll at times in
matches, but the sort of skill that re-
suits in a reasonable certainty of be-
ing able to produce a given shot at a
given time must be the product of
practice that is something akin
to the practice of scales by a musician.
Muscles must be SO trained by in
telligent repetition that the power to
make the correct shot becomes large
1y automatic.

The Braves defeated Philadelphia,

When a man plays in a match the

to do many an unorthodox thing in
order to gain a temporary advantage.
When this becomes habitual the
wrong instinct results in having no
settled method and being really mas
ter of no shot. The impulsive player
who trusts to the inspiration OF the
moment may rise to great heights.
but alas! he falls also to great depths.
The real object of training is to

Lewis Gray, of Calhoun, Mo-, a

were running a line to Blackfoot
from Mt. Putnam in connection with
a proposed city water system, was
drowned in the Blackfoto river Sat-
urday afternoon at about 2 o'clock
while swimming across at point two
miles above the Indian dam.
Young Gray alone attempted the
river, at place where it veers
sharply and the channel is deeply
cut and winding from side to side.
His companions watched him until he
was nearly across, when he called
back that he was almost there. They
then ran around some willows down
stream to see him land, but saw no
more Of him. A search of the river
was of no avail. Up to Sunday night
the body had not been recovered.
A party of a dozen young men,
with Sheriff Simmons, dragged and
searched the river for some distance
Sunday afternoon, but no trace of the
boys body could be found.
Young Gray was working for the

PIONEER OF WEST
CALLED BY DEATH
S. II. Jacobs Died Fri
day After Illness of
Week and Day
BURIED MONDAY

Sven H. Jacobs, for eleven years
resident of Blackfoot, died Friday
night at 10 o'clock at his home. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
at the second ward church, with D.
Rolla Harris and B. Harvey Alfred
as speakers. Mr.. Jacobs was i'll for
week and a day. The immediate
cause of death was part paralysis
of the bowels brought on possibly
by kidney trouble.
Mr.. Jacobs was born in Iron

parents were of that hardy pioneer
stock which settled and built up the
west and as boy he shared all the
hardships of frontier life. He was
the second child in a family of thir-
teen. He was married January q,
1881 to Martha Jane Bell, who died
in 1888, to be followed two years
later by Mr.. Jacobs father. He later
was married to Mary E. Thomas, a
sister of Attorney L. R. Thomas.
In 1884 Mr.. Jacobs homesteaded at
Sugar City. He had been thru this
country as early as 1878, according
to one of his brothers ,and he finally
came to Blackfoot in 1908.
He leaves wife and aged mother,
who is at Sugar City and seven
children.
The two sons are w. B. and La
mont. Four Of the daughters live in
Blackfoot: Mrs. l.. r. Picket, Mrs.
Lizzie Rogers, Mrs. Letha Bonner
and Miss Reva Jacobs. One daughter
Mrs. E. Holman, is living at Sugar
City.
The funeral services Sunday were
composed of program partly Of
music furnished by the ward choir,
and a solo by Leo Jacobs. At Rex
burg, where the body was shipped for
burial, short services also were held
Monday.
