ANNAPOLIS NOW A
TOURIST S MECCA
Naval Academy Draws Ninety PEI
Cent Of Visitors That Come
From All Sections

Annapolis has become a Mecca fol
tourists: At the rate of 10000 a weel
they come, by trolley, ferry, bus Of
automobile, from Washington, Baiti
more, the Eastern Shore. The trip j.
short, inexpensive and-well adver
tised.
The old town has a reputation fol
hospitality to keep up. English Prot
estants, fleeing from Virginia in 1915
found welcome and liberation from
"Freemen of Maryland"
They founded the city of Annapolis
and, in turn, maintained the Mary.
land traditions.
These traditions are a most valued
inheritance. The present city, peo'
pied by descendants Of the old stock
preserves the atmosphere of courtesy
and culture, as well as the historic
buildings which once made it famous
as the "Athens of America"
Tourists Amaze
The Annapolitans themselves are
amazed and a little dazed by the
number of people who overrun their
public buildings and streets.
They are Injured to official parties
from Washington, to great foreign
dignitaries, to Congressman and poll
ticians. But this new phenomenon, a
migration.
Annapolis does not profit in a ma
terial way from her visitors. Long
distance tourists stop for two hours
to see the sights, then 60 on to Balti-
more or Washington. Those from the
surrounding country stay but an af-

Come By Hun dreds

They come in by the hundreds, mo-
chine following machine, and many
on foot. The first question they ask
is, "Where is the tomb of John Paul
Jones?"
Learning that it is in the crypt of
the chapel, that building with the
orange and white icing on the dome ?"
they turn to the right in a buzz of
conversation.
But their breezy manner soon turns
reverence as they enter the spacious
and peaceful chamber where Ameri-
cas- greatest naval hero lies in state.
How like and yet how different from
the tomb of Napoleon! How fresh the
air-and no entrance charge. This
might very we'll be said of the city,
with it's circles and quaint byways, it's
stately Georgian mansions and box
bordered walks.
A Union solder, during the Civil
War, wrote home: "It is queer, an
cient, somnolent city looking very
much as if some Celestial schoolboy
with box Of toys under his arm had
dropped a few houses and men as he
was going home from school, and the
accidental settlement was called An
napolis."
This is still true of it.
And this Mecca for tourists is, in
another way, a unique city. There is
not tip to pay, not fee-no chang
ing money or the clink of coin as an
obligation to the sightseeing.
The Annapolitans are proud of their
city and ask no money for keeping
up the inherited traditions of hospi-
tally.

top of the dome. Crowds come to-
gether. Up they start, laughing and
talking.
"First landing, second landing, not
SO much laughing and talking-third
flight, fourth fight, mighty lot of
'phewing' and how hot Then up and
up, out the door. Everybody draws a
deep breath.
"There's the creek, there's the riv-
er, yonder's the bay. Old houses have
thick tall chimneys."
Spread out before their eyes lie the
rolling hills of Maryland running
down ito the blue and silver of the
Severn.
How wonderful it must have been
to the first settlers to venture into
this Bay, and open their eyes on all
the loneliness of the virgin forests!
This is high adventure, high and
sun-sweetened. Take a deep
breath and plunge into the darkness
of the stairway. Observe the great
cross beams which hold up the dome.
"Those old fellows knew their bust
ness. Not nail used or an iron bolt.
Locust 'trunnels' hold them together.
"Ladies want to see the Governors

masters. Wasn't Sir Robert Eden

fairly treated by the Annapolitans.

The Governor, in person or by
proxy, welcomes the thousand who in
wade his Capitol. They talk and chat
ter, but they are on the whole, inter
ested and impressed. Especially so
before the battle flags.
The sad, neglected battle flags, in
dusty cases, hanging in detected
folds. The oldest Star-Spangled Ban
ner, there it is, crowded by newer and
heavier flags. "Isn't the
Governor good looking!"
Personal Touch
Or maybe these tourists fall into
the hands Of kindly resident who
guides them all around the town with
jest, explaining Colonial history with
a personal touch.
"Mrs. Tilton told me, herself, that
Lafayette had put his hand on her
head and had asked her name. When
she replied, Josephine he said, 'Ah,
like my Queen It wasn't so long
ago."
The same resident had the bloom
rubbed off his favorite sport when
some one offered him a tip.
Or perhaps they have read in a
guide-book that they are welcome to
visit the Chase home. They always
enthuse when they see the beautiful
carving and the Colonial fittings.
Or again, the "Chief" at the main
gate hands them out a slip of paper,
rules of the road, tells them mo
smoking in the Naval Academy
grounds" and cheerfully answers all
questions.
"The navy's paid for by the people
and run for their benefit, but many
Of them seem to think that they aren't
allowed inside our gates. We almost
have to go out and invite them in"

AII-AmeriCan Finals in Ten

Are Defeated.
BIZ United Press


BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept. a.
An all-American final was assured as
the national doubles tennis tourna-
ment entered the serni-final round at
the Longwood Cricket Club here to-
day.
With the elimination of the two
French teams Wednesday, foreign
competition faded away and left the
field clear for Americas aces to
struggle for the title among them
selves.
The one semi-fina match SEIZED.
uled for today brought William T.
Tilden of Philadelphia and Alfred H.
Chaplin Jr., of Springfield, Mass,
against William j. Johnston and Ed
ward G. Chandler of California.
The other semi-final match, that
between r. N. Williams and Vim
cent Richards. present champions,
and Lewis N. White and Louis
Thalheimer, national clay court
champions, is scheduled for Friday.
In gaining the seminal brack.
cts, American teams proved their
superiority over those OF France.
The match between the title-holders
and the French Davis cup team of
Cochet and Brugnon, in which the
former won in four sets, may have
an important bearing upon Davis
cup matches at Germantown.
The decision Of the U. S. L. T. A.
in naming Americas doubles team
has been reserved until after this
tournament. Should the present
champions retain their title it is al
n ost certain they will again be Sc:
