Granddaddy Of All Raccoons
Puts Snap in Haymarket Hunt

It took a couple of hours to re-
collect the party and the dogs and
start them off on the home trail.
But that big daddy coon intrigued
the dogs, and that was the one they
would go after. The first time he was
treed, he came down like ton Of
dynamite, and lit out after the dogs
licketty cut, coon growing and dogs
bowling.
The second time he was treed, he
got the dog when he was brought
down, and when he was done with
him, the dog went one way and the
coon went another.
But he was treed again, and this
time when he was brought down, he
really was out for blood. It was well
for Holland that he had on heavy
boots, for coon grabbed him by the
slight projection Of the boot sole and
held on until he was literally kicked
OF, when he got away again.
But this gang of intrepid hunters
was not going home coonless, and on
the fourth freeing the coon was caught
and carried home a still-snarling cap
tive, where he graced the breakfast
table Sunday morning.

Each City Has Voice.

THE principal association Of every
section of the country, such as
New England, Middle States, South
ern, ETC., is composed of similar as
sociations as that planned here, with
each city having a voice in the guild
ance of its sectional body. There is,
for instance. New London Tennis
Association in New England, Phila-
delphia Tennis Association in Middle
States, a Birmingham in the South
ern, and so on, with each city's asso-
citation composed of every tennis club
and organization within its limits.
In reality. there is little difference
between the district" type of organi-
zation first conceived and that which
is to be formulated. Only the fact
that it will not be called district"
association, of which there are only
two in the United States, prevents the
fulEllment of the original scheme to
the letter.
The Washington Tennis Association
will, however, have a general purpose
to encourage, promote, coordinate and
regulate net activities in the District
and environs, by: Cd Cooperating
with the Middle Atlantic L. T. A. in
all Of its aims and purposes which
tend to improve and support tennis
in this area; CO assisting in the
avoidance Of conflicts in tournament
dates in this area by the appointment
OF a Tournament Committee; (3) CO.
operating with various groups and au-
thorities IN this area in their plans
to better the playing conditions and
facilities of the average player: a.
helping outstanding young players to
obtain adequate match competition,
and (5) providing for regular and i'm
partial rating of local tournament
players by Ranking Committee.

that there was nothing to prevent the

first order light stations, one at
Hillsboro and another at Jupiter.
At the last named staff IN there is
also a radiobeacon, similar to the

ter.
