women lawn tennis players in the East
will leave for Montreal, Canada, this
evening to take part in exhibition

women's doubles champion, of Boston;
Walter Merrill Hall, Middle States
champions Harold A. Throckmorton,
former national intersch elastic cham

ton.

stars will engage in informal matches

on this trip, which will give an inter
national flavor to the affair. There
are many signs of a reawakening in
Canadian lawn tennis this season, sew

Garden, under the auspicies of the
77th Division, has been completed and

knights of Columbus secretary, who
is to have charge of the bouts, has
secured many good men to meet the
soldier champions.
Benny Leonard and Jack Britton,
lightweight and welterweight cham
plons, are to appear, but the chief
interest in the card is centred on the
go between Cyclone Williams and
Knockout Brennan, the 17O-pound
champion of the division. Brennan,
before joining the colors, fought such
good men as Mike Gibbons, Mike
O'Dowd and Soldier Bartfeld. He will
box six rounds with Williams.

Holy Cross Nine
Beats Harvard
By 8 to 6 Score

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May THE
Holy Cross ball nine came down from
Worcester to-day to beat Harvard to
6 in hard hitting game in which the
Crimson players showed their best
baseball for the season. Harvard
scored in four innings, making nine
hits against Gill, and in the ninth a
great catch of McLeod's liner by first
baseman Maloney prevented what
would have been three Dagger to tie
the score.
Bullard, in the box for Harvard, was
hit safely thirteen times, four hits be-
ing punched in the third and five in
the sixth, in each of which innings the
visitors got four runners around the
bases.
Harvard played brilliantly in the
field, except when the visitors were
hitting, and then the miscues played
an important part in the rnal score
Harvard got one run in the first in

Just what advance has been made in
girls lawn tennis in this vicinity dur
ing the last twelve months will be
shown on the clay courts of the West
Side Tennis Club, of Forest Hills, L. L.,
in the week beginning Monday, May 26,
when the annual girls Metropolitan
championship tournament in singles
and doubles will get under way.
Mrs. H. Franklin Morse, of this city,
who, as runner-up to Miss Molla Blur
stedt in the womens national "patri-
otto" tournament at the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, in 1917, gained national
prominence on the courts, is in charge
of this local fixture, and is making
every effort to bring out the most rep
resentative entry list possible. She will
be assisted by special committee in
the running of the tournament, which
Will be made unusually attractive this
year.
Last year, if my memory is not at
fault, the singles title was won by Miss
Helen Rice, young player who showed
much promise of future development
While not of the snowy type on the
court, she possessed excellent strokes
and put far more pace" into her shots
than the average girl player we have
been accustomed to see. There were
several others who pressed Miss Rice
closely for the honors, and the hope is
that these girls have maintained their
interest in the game and that others
will follow their lead.
AS l have remarked before in this
column, there is a crying need for the
development of girls tennis in the
United States, and nothing will help
in that direction so much as tourns-
ments of this character. Mrs. Morse
deserves world of credit for giving up
her time to insure the success of the
their appreciation of the opportunity
by entering in record numbers.
The fact that the girls national
championships will be decided about
three weeks after the Metropolitan
tourney, on the turf courts of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, beginning
the week of June 16, will lend our local
event an added Importance because of
the opportunity it will give the players
of gaining much valuable competitive
experience.
The trip made to Montreal last year
by some of our leading players, who
staged number of exhibition matches
on the courts of the Montreal Tennis
Club for the benefit of wounded and
crippled Canadian soldiers, met with
such unqualified success and did so
much to cement international good
feeling that it will be repeated this
year. Tomorrow and Saturday of this
week six of our leading women and
men players of the East, namely, Miss
Molla Bjurstedt, national woman cham
p'on; Miss Eleanor Sears, former ma

In fact, the audience takes part in
many of his tricks.
Reno uses a number Of pets In his
entertainments, and he allows the
children to play with these pets be-
tween times. There is always rush
of boys and girls to the stage when
Reno makes his appeal for assistants.
Among the many bewildering tricks
performed by Reno is one in which he
takes lads watch from a loaf of
bread when 1t is supposed to be locked
securely in a wooden box. Again he
lights a candle, wraps it in heavy pa
per and later takes it from his inside
coat pocket, still burning. He shows
the children how to make two doves
out of one. He breaks an egg in pan,
lights fire underneath it and then
pulls out duck. Everything Reno
does is done with an exceedingly clever
pair Of hands.
On a recent swing through Ohio
Reno appeared in Cleveland, Colum-
bus, Cincinnati and other cities, and In
every case enthusiastic reports were
received by the Redpath Bureau.
