Capt. Peach has several fine vic
tories to his credit. He beat Norman
Brookes last November at Melbourne.
in the Victorian championship. and
took set from Tilden in the New
Zealand championships. Peach Is as
good in singles as in doubles. and his
volleying and ground strokes are of
equal merit. His rise in the game has
been slow, but his play has steadily
improved until it is now accounted
little short of brilliant.
Anderson is the only member OF the
team who has previously represented
Australasia, which he did in January,
1920, in what was actually the 1919
match. He made fine showing against
Kingscote in the first set. He beat A.
H. Lowe in the other singles after a
strenuous contest. Anderson is much
better in singles than in doubles, but
is of high class in both branches. He
has a forehand which at times is COM
parable. to that of ". NJ. Johnston,
and, towering more than six feet in
height, he makes his strokes without
undue effort. His backhand is sound.
Victories to his credit include one over
F. G. Lowe in 1913. and another over
Brookes in Melbourne in 1919.
Hawkes. Strongest Player.
On past performances, Hawkes., the
youngest member of the team, is con-
sidered the strongest player. He has
to his credit eight victories over
Brookes in both singles and doubles.
In fact, since at the age of fourteen
he won the schoolboys' championship
of Victoria, his career in tennis has
been a run of almost unbroken sue
cesses. He is a left-handed player,
with a splendid all-round game. His
service has more break than that of
any other player in the game at pres
ent, and even W. NJ. Johnston found
1T difficult to handle it at first. His
smashing is severe without ever be-
ing rash. He is still very young and
scarcely at his full strength.
After an absence of a year from
the courts, Todd, who ranks as one
of the most skillful players in Aus
tralia, returns to the Davis cup team.
He celebrated his return to the game
by clean sweep in the three cham
pionship matches of the city of Sgd
ney. His service is one of the best
in Australia, and he wins many aces.
He follows his services to the net,

Practically every detail has been
completed for the matches between
the Australians and their British op-
ponents Special trains will carry
Spectators to Sewickley, and motor
bus lines will operate between the
railroad station and the club. The
big stands, accommodating about
5000, have been completed.
Tarpaulins to cover the grass
courts have been provided. Ground
keepers today pointed to them with
pride and said that only a very heavy
and continuous rain would cause
postponement on account of wet
grounds. The covers will be placed
over the courts each evening and,
should rain fall, they would keep the
turf in good condition.

Valuable Counterfeit.

A strange counterfeit turned up at
Washington bank recently-queer
because it was bogus s. gold coin
and worth about eight times as much
as the genuine because 1t is made of
platinum.
The spurious coin was made about
fifty years ago and bears the date OF
1869. Musty archives of the secret
service contain a record Of the species
and the case is marked "ciosed." The
coins were made in Maine and came
10 the notice of the Treasury depart
ment when the scion Of wealthy
family took quantity of them from
safety deposit box containing heir
looms and put them In circulation. All
known specimens were cOnfiscated by
the secret service and II was not
known until now that others were still
in circulation.

Great Baby shrinkage.

Doctor Johnson's dictum that births

rather like a wide shot In the pres
ence Of a row of figures just published
by the Cambridge University Press.
These figures occur in the report of a
paper read by Mr.. G. Gdny Yule. NJ.

that in England and Wales the annual
birth rate per thousand has been
halved in the last 40 years. In the

Adverse Possession

The late and lamented Theodore
F. Hallam, a member of the Gov
ington, Kentucky, bar, was invited
to attend a banquet at Cincinnati,
Ohio, and was placed on the pro-
gram for a tpast, his subject being
Kentucky" An Ohio attorney al
so was assigned toast, mis- subject
being "Ohio." The latter spoke
first, and in concluding his remarks
made the claim that Ohio is Gods
country. Mr.. Hallam then arose
and said: THE gentleman who has
just preceded me has substantially
made my speech and shall have
but little to say. l had intended to
say that Kentucky is Gods country
but my friend beat me to it and has
told us that Ohio is Gods country.
All have to say is, that if he is
correct in that statement, she has
been in adverse possession for over
one hundred years"

While the silkworm has no fancy

that 1t will not show against a gray

a method whereby he can make the

is DR.. vartan X. Osigian, son Of a
long line Of silk manufacturers, and
he has an extensive silkworm farm
near New Orleans.
Osigian has discovered that upon
feeding the worms certain leaves they
will respond by spinning certain col
ors. He has carried out his expert
ments until he has the IS varieties of
food to produce the like number of

NEW STORY ABOUT PILGRIMS

CO Wers Kidnapped From the

Some historians. notably Azell Amea,
who has complied The Mayaower and

sert that the skipper Of the Mayfiower
was Capt. Thomas Jones. rough
seadog who had led more or less
piratical career on the high>seas. Be-
tween Capt. Jones and Sir Ferdinando
Gorges and doubtless Weston. they al
lege that plot existed whereby the
Pilgrims were deliberately stolen from
the London Virginia company ana
planted on territory outside Of the vir-
ginia grant. The maneuvering about
Cape Cod, according to this interpre-
tation, was simply part of the. plo;
to discourage the Pilgrims from set
Ting near the Hudson, as evidently
they intended when they left Holland.
The exact identity Of Master Jones
is not clear. Historians Of the Massa.
chusetts Historical society say that the
skipper was one Christopher Jones. Q
trustworthy man. entirely different
from Capt. Thomas Jones. who was
known to have checkered career dur
ing his voyages TO Virginia anG other
colonies. The course of American
colonial history may have been grea'!,

ST. CROIX STATION.

London, July 9Th Sir Robert Home
made statement to the Conference Of
the Imperial Premiers this afternoon
concerning German reparations, point
ing out what the United KINGDOM and
the various dem Mons and colonies might
expect from them. In the absence OF
the British Premier and General SHUTS
who were attending the Conference on
the Irish situation, the session was rob
bed of much interest. Later the Pre-
miers attended a lunc evn of the British
Empire exhibition at which Di Robert
Horne presided, In MS speech the Chan
cellor of the Excnequer suggested that
the commerce of the Empire required all
the encouragement and incentive it
could be given and impressed upon his
hearers the Importance of the exchange
OF commodities between the different
parts of the Empire. Mr.. Hughes of
Australia spoke Of the necessity for i'm
provement Of communication between
the dominions and the United Kingdom.
He concluded, unless this country can
produce coal at a price which will enable
it to compete with the rest OF the world,
Empire exhibition or no exhibition, the
greatness of this country must pass
away. Seventy working days lost to the
natIou and eighteen million pounds OF
extra expend ture incurred by the Gov
eminent, are the official estimates com
puted in connection with the coal strike.
The defense force army OF reservlsts
cost seven million pounds, and the rail
ways claim nine million pounds against
the state for May alone. The emptiness
of the state Golfers has been demonstra-
ted by the surprise announcement In the
