We find turmoil of preparation
for the coming tournament. The.

the impossible crag into a very prob

nament, extending over Saturday and
Sunday, will be accompanied by a
party such as never was before. The
concrete tennis court will be trans.
formed into an open air dance floor.
Already streamers are fluttering,
and strange hieroglyphics are being
erected over gaudy booths. A bare
foot peon with a string of burros is
being instructed to bring mysterious
ly-mentioned kegs up to the front
line trenches. It will be a great
party. We decide to hang around

ments. Pilares has now won four,
while Nacozari with three victories
is desperately determined to even the
series before all is LOST
Play begins shortly after noon on
Saturday. There is an, element of
humor in some of these Saturday
matches: those with a certain sus-
pected weakness are scheduled to
play first, lest Sunday find them
hors- -de-c combat, for the punch served
at the evening party will be very.

The crowd which had scattered at
the close of the afternoon matches,
begins to reassemble. Hersey, who
with the colonel had gone down to
gallant hair-breadth defeat before
Captain Beard and his mate few
hours before, takes up his sax and
the orchestra begins it's night of re

WILD RUMORS THAT
STIRRED UP PANIC

Since his death, Lenfn is growing in
size and stature. A German paper re-
ports that In some peasant districts
his name Is pronounced with the ven.
GRAFTON of a saint and remarks that
such legends as are being interwoveG
with the name Of Lenin could only
originate on Russian soil. We find
that under the glare of Prussian en-
lightment of this century strange
legends sprung up In Germany. An
for instance this case: In 1895 the
Anthropological society of western
Prussia instituted a series of inves-
LEGATIONS, in the course of which the
complexion and the color of the hair
and eyes of the children at the pub
lie schools were to be noted, In order
to determine the prevalence of certain
racial traits. The most extravagant
rumors circulated in the districts of
Dantzic, Thorn, Kuhn, all the way to
Posen. Parents, seized by unreason-
ing terror, sent their children In great
numbers to Russia. One rumor said
that the king of Prussia had lost 1000
blond children to the sultan over a
game of cards; another, that the
Russian government had sold 10000
pretty girls to an Arab prince, and to
save them from the sad fate conjec-
tured to be in store for them, all the
pretty girls at Dubna were straight
way married off.-Pierre Van Paas-
sen, In the Atlanta Constitution.
