Tennis Tournament
Dates Set Ahead arr

The committee In charge Of ar
rangements for the Forty Club Ten
mis- tournament has decided that In
view Of the unfavorable weather the
date when the returns from the
first round must be in has been set
ahead to July "a for both the men S
and women's singles. The recent
rains have made the courts muddy,
and they will need plenty Of sun to-
day to put them in condition again.
Not half dozen matches have been
played, and those players who can
meet earlier in the day should do
so and give the others chance to
play after the supper hour Many
players find the board of play at the
courts a convenience for in that way
they mark the hour at which they
wish to play and others inspecting it
Will know that the courts are not
available at that time.
The committee also wishes to an
uounce that it is necessary to ask
an entrance fee of so cents for each
player in the tournament, this to
help cover the expense to which the
Forty Club has gone to in fitting UP
the courts, and procuring nets and
balls. This is payable when the
games are reported. and will cover
expenses for the entire tournament
An obvious increase in the interest
in tennis has been noticed through
the efforts of the Forty Club in pro-
noting this tournament

Once Wealthy
Youth Now Chore
Man Near Portland

Portland, July 16.--After tossing a
fortune into the laps of the cabaret
Golfers that fringe the roaring forties
in New York City a "a year old youth
decided that he wanted to see how
life looked from the quiet surround
ings of a farm.
The youth is Paul Draper. The
farm is the dairy farm of George f.
Bolton on Mitchell Road South
Portland
And the youth whose mother was
at one time a reigning stage star in
England, and later the wife of an
Italian nobleman, says he finds il
fun to handle milk bottles for a
change. He handled plenty of cham
payne bottles in Greenwich Village
and other artistic way stations, he
frankly admitted to reporter. Start
ing in with the right to sign a check
that carried six figures, he found aft
err a party last New Years night,
that he was practically broke, he de-
clared.
Then he found, he explained, that
the chief foundation stone to friend
ship III the zone where hilarious
youths try to stay up until the last
brightlight on Broadway went out,
was the capacity of your check book.
He made up his mind that New
York was no place for him and de-
cided to visit some friends in this
city. Since last February he has
been working on the Bolton farm.
His chief duties have been in assist
ing on the milk route of that farm.
A tip from a friend of young
Draper who knew him when
he was sprinkling Broadway with
his money, led to the place he has
temporarily decided to call home.
