FRANCE DRAWS

IN NET EVENT
iawaii to Play Czecho- -Slovakia

Spain in Opening Round.

CableRrams were sent yesterday
by the United States Lawn Tennis
Association to several competitors
in this years Davis cup contest, ad-
vising them Of decisions reached
by the Davis Cup Committee on mat.
ters that had been referred TO them.
Canada drew France in the first
round, Hawaii drew Czecho-Slovakia
and Philippines drew Spain with
resultant complications in schedul-
ing their matches.
When the draw was made In
March. the United States recon-
mended that the first two rounds at,
least, be played in Europe, TO re-
duce travelling to the minimum.
France proposed to Canada that
their match take place in Paris on
June II. This suggestion did not
meet with favor in Canada, and
France referred Il to the United
States as champion nation. The
committee advised the interested ma
tions that the matches should be
scheduled in Europe.
The Australian Association pre-
ferred to play all it's matches in this
country. A reply was sent pointing
out that such an arrangement would
require unnecessary travelling by the
European nations in the upper half
Of the draw, and urging that effort
be made to have Australia's matches
played in Europe, before the team
crosses the Atlantic.

Baseball honors last season came

Faber pitched remarkable baseball!
for the Sox last season, giving an

1--WE look upon Howard Berry az
the greatest OF Penn's athletes"
said Orton, but I must admit that
lie Gendre is his superior save in the
1,500 meters. Berry Is much
smaller man than LIE Gendre, who is
of ideal build and type, quite the
greatest of present day athletes"
With more than 5000 athletes COM
peting in two days and a host Of de-
tails relative to running the games,
DR.. Orton finds time for a good word
or a helpful hand for everyone.
Lacking a foreign relay entrant
this year the Penn relays appear TO
be quite u to the standard as far
as entries and competition are con-
cerned. The middle West, North
and South and Southeastern sec
tions are we'll represented.
II Is noticeable that teams from
the South are coming uD in large
numbers. The South Atlantic re-
lay race with Georgetown, Virginia
and Hopkins running appears to
be a toss-up. Hopkins with a
record holding indoor team is picked
for honors. while Virginia is eI-
pected to push the Baltimore men.
Central and Tech are IN fast COM
pany in their races, while George
Washington, Gallaudet, Western
High, and Maryland University
appear to have good chances to win
victories or place.

They Lack The Money
Overseas For Big
Purses

If the object of the heavy
weight champion in visiting
Europe was to work up publicity
for a future battle on foreign
ground, his trip is a great sue
cess. However, it is doubtful if
any amount of advertising can
create enough interest in a ring
battle in England or France to
demand a purse of the gigantic
proportions which the champion
has established as his bit. Car
pentier could never have de-
manded the purses in his own
country that he collected here.
Two other champions, Johnny
Buff and Johnny kilbane, have
both learned by experience that
the European sporting public is
not as liberal as the public here.
Dempsey may get a fight in
Europe with Wills or Carpenter.

MATHIS SAVES.
ATLANTA$25,OOO
Former Local Man Discovers
New Process of Redeeming
Alum From Sludge

Quite by accident, like gold pros
pector finding a free nugget, a dis
covery recently was made at the At
lanta waterworks which promises to
revolutionize the process of water
publication and save to the city
chemical fund of more than S25, 900
annually
1t promises more than that. The
residue may be used as valuable
product in the ceramic arts.
The discovery was made by Walter
R. Mathis, chemist for twelve years
at the waterworks plant, and son of
j. E. Mathis, superintendent of
Americas schools, and is protected
by patent applied for. 1t came 10
light one day last May when the
chemist had occasion to make an
analysis of the "sludge" taken from
the bottom of the settling basins.
Alum Flushed Out
Sludge is the mud and other or
ganic matter which coagulates from
chemical treatment and drops to the
bottom of the basins. The water, as
it enters the basins, is treated with
alum, about 500 tons a year being
used. This alum casts about $25, 900
annually, Heretofore when it had
done its worl, it was lost, being flush
ed out with the sludge when the ba-
sins were cleaned.
When the chemist completed his
analysis, in which sulphuric acid
played a leading part, he saw that
he had reconstructed the alum used
in the water, and the fine red mud
sunk to the bottom of the solution
and bleached white.
Hasty experiments followed and
Mr. Mathis boarded train for Wash
ington to apply for a patent.
He asserts that he can redeem
virtually every pound of alum from
the sludge, use it again, reclaim 1t
and go on indefinitely, adding that
its strength would not diminish, by
repeated injection into the water.
