Take, for instance, Ralph Burdick. Here is one of the leading players we have who is so busy he feels thankful if he can get racquet in his hands once a week.

 BRIDGEPORT, Cal, Aug. S-Visitors to the now deserted mining camp of Lundy, once a populous community of Mono county, were surpriIed to find Q square piano in one of the old build ings. Buried in dust and it's voice silent for a score of years, the instru- ment proved to be in good condition and fair tune and members of the party produced upon it airs it had never known in the days when it af- forded entertainment for lively min ing camp.
 Old timers here associate the forgot ten piano with a romance and a tragedy
 As the story goes, a young girl. tal- ented in music, came from an eastern state to visit in Lunly; and the entife camp was attracted by the wonderful melodies which she produced upon that, the only piano for 200 miles around Among others came a gambler of the fascinating, dandy type of early Cali fornia days. Immediately he laid siege to the girls affections and soon car ried her away to San Francisco as his bride
 Only few months later word came back to Lundy that the girl of the piano was dead-murdered and that her gambler husband was gone and with him a small fortune belonging to his wife.
 Thereafter the piano fell into disuse and when the people of Lundy. one after another departed from their be- longing ii was left behind
