against his rival from the Pacific Coast In the opening games John ston demonstrated that he was in for victory. His drives were long and deeply placed. putting the Jap anene immediately on the defensive.
 Johnston scored the first three games of the set by remarkable plac- ing. He rarely permitted Kumagae to lift his racquet for one of his deadly overhanders and kept him chasing for the ball, maneuver that contributed to the spirit of the rallies. When kumagae tried for the net Johnston drove him back with siz- zlinE passes.
 Even when Kumagae brought into action his powerful forehanders the young Californian handled the ball easily. never once making the mistake e of sacrificing pace for a sure place ment. Johnston's court generalship. his fine overland volleying and his perfect control never wavered. He did not go to the net often, but when he did his slantins shots to the sides left Kumagae far out of reach of the ball.
 The Japanese tried to make a stand in the last set and in so doing brought off a cross court drive. more than 100 feet in length from corner to corner, to score the point. that was one of the most remarkable plays ever made on the courts in this country.
 Tilden met voshell on the stretch of turf beside the club house, where a gallery of more than a thousand watched the fray from the veranda- In the first and second sets the New York star easily mastered Tilden on service, speed and his amazing ac- curacy at placing the ball. The ral- lies at this stage were sensational. Tilden repeatedly missing ground strokes or when he attempted over hand drives landing the ball into the net because of vosbelrs clever use of spin and choD. s- ,,

Sam Langford's Age
 Is Only 4 He
 Tells Boxing Fans

Milwaukee, Aug. 9-It seems to be c habit nowadays for boxers who are q little bit beyond the average age to give uncertain information re- zarding the correct date of their birth. In fact. they are like a great many old maids who refuse to gain a year after they strike a certain notch.
 There was a great deal of contro- versy over the age of Jess Willard. and there has been almost as much regarding Sam Langford's correct age. The fact Is Sam is younger than people generally credit him with be- ing. for the reason that he started boxing when very young. He has been fighting steadily since 1901- which makes 1t eighteen years that he has been in the ring.
 The date of his birth has been given as March I. 1884. and again as 1888. Recently Sam said regarding his age:
 'I am not sure just what my age is. From what my sister told me 1 was born March 1. 1886. You jusr write to her and find out old Sam's age. Her name is Mrs. Annie Cole man, and she lives in Cambridge, Mass. I came from Nova Scotia. in Canada. but most of my time has been spent around Boston. I may be old for a fighter. but believe me. man, I can whip all the heavyweights they have in the country today. Just give me six months time to train and get fin proper shape and you will find the old tar baby taking home the bacon the same as he.did years ago."
 Mrs. Coleman was communicated with regarding the matter. and this is her answer:
 "Your request about my brother Sam's correct age received. Your statement that he was born March (. 1886. Is absolutely correct This is from his oldest sister. and you can rely upon 1t being correct"

Report That McGraw Will Give Doyle, Zimmerman and King for HOrnsby of St. Louis.

Tn New York baseball circles there is a report that Ban Johnson's drive against the Yankees on the Carl Mays case is due to the refusal of the Yan- kee owners to sell Pitcher Dutch Leonard to Cleveland last spring. Johnson's alleged financial interest in the Cleveland club may have some thing to do with all this rumpus.
 When Leonard refused to come to terms with New York after he was traded there by the Red Sox bid of s20.00 was received for him from Cleveland and one of S1 5000 from Detroit. The Detroit offer was ac- cepted because the Yankees feared that with Leonard on tho pitching staff Cleveland would be a sure pen nant winner. If Johnson owns part of the Cleveland club no wonder he Leonard has been winning steadily for Detroit.
 It Is said that Manager McCraw of the Giants has offered Infielders Doyle and Zimmerman, Outfielder King and a cash consideration for In fielder Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardi- nals Such a deal would create an uproar in the National league as fans fin other cities do not think these trades in the latter part of the season are good for the sport.
 Doyle and Zimmerman have siumped this year and as King is only . utility man he can be spared by McGraw. If the trade is put through, Al Baird, the young colleSian, who has been playing second. will continue there and Hornsby will go to third.

10000 TOURISTS

DURING SEASON
RECENTLY CLOSED
Chamber Of Commerce
Statistics Show Tourists

Business Men.

In an editorial which appears else

compiled by the Canon City Chamber
of Commerce anent the tourist bust
ness here tnat will make mighty in
terestins reauinS TO those concerned
in the welfare of the community. The
outstanding character of the data fur
nished by the Chamber of Commerce
will be a matter of surprise to most
readers, and may be accepted as sub
stantially correct, based as it is on
actual information furnished it by
people who have no reason to enlarge
or distort it.
1t is computed from the registration
lists kept at the Chamber of Com
merce. the city camping grounds and
the pavilion at the top of the Royal
Gorge. that $500 automobiles carryin /:
10000 passengers stopped in Canon
City on an average of "a hours be-
tween June l and September 10. Dur
ing the same period it is estimated
that 10000 other auto visitors passed
through Canon City to make the trip
over the Skyline drive and TO the top
of the Royal Gorge. but did not re
main here long enough to be of any
financial benefit to the community.
The data on file in the office of the
Chamber of Commerce secretary
shows that S107.145 was spent here
by these motor tourists during the
summer months. nice little addition
to the current money of the COM
munity
The past season has shown as never
before the benefits accruing to Canon
City and its surroundings of the tour
list business, and should be an incen
tive TO its announcement in the years
to come. Too much praise can not be
given TO the Chamber of Commerce in
its mastery manner of handling the
tourist business. It's total outlay for
advertising the scenic attractions of
the community. promoting travel in
this direction and in providing for the
pleasure and entertainment of visitors

investment, when one considers that

Florence to
Have Aviation
Landing Field


Through the public-spiritedness OF
25 Florence boosters an official field
for transcontinental air traffic has
been assured to that ely This en-
| terprise was made possible on Friday
of this week when Ernest E, High
tower OF the North America Air Line
Association of Kansas City, in COM
pany with Lieut. A. c. Sager. repre-
senting the government aviation
corps. entered into contract with
the Florence Chamber of Commerce
According to the terms OF the contract
the Air Line association, which II
composed of members in all the inn
portant towns along the proposed
route. will put the field in condition
and pay the expenses of men to super
intend the work.
In the course of its write-up of the
matter the Citizen says The OBJ
ject OF the North America Air Line
Association is to the aviation world
what the Santa Fe trail and other
good roads organizations are to the
auto highways.
The air line association owns no
Cali bul q ioutt
will be safe for pilots. One OF the
problems that goes with cross-coun-
try flights is convenient landing
places near centers of population
where supplies can be obtained. The
route selected by Mr.. Hightower
through Colorado includes the towns
of Flagler, Limon, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo, Florence Salida, Leadville.
Red Cliff. Aspen. Glenwood Springs
and Grand Junction. The government
has placed its stamp of approval on
the work of the association. and is CO.
operating in every way to carry out
the plan of establishing the route.
When the work is compelled and it is
being rushed with all possible speed.
the government will use the route laid
out for transcontinental trips and
races, and thus prevent a recurrence
of the many accidents and harships
which befell the participants in the
ocean-to-ocean flight completed few
days ago over a portion of the un-
charted section of Northern United
States The Postoffice Department
will also use these routes for carry
ing mail. and it is generally predictefi
that in less than two years at least
so per cent of all first class mail viii
be transported through the air
According to the plans OF the as
sociation the membership in each city
is based upon popula ion. Twenty
five memberships at SO were re-
quested in Florence. and this number
was subscribed in less than an hours
time, and more could have been Sc
cured if necessary. The names of
the Florence men who signed for
membership at the rate of so a
