Tennis Tourney
Progress With Upset
OF Seeded Player

Play for the twenty-ninth annual
tennis tournament of Western Mary
land began ON Monday, August 7, at
Mountain Lake Park, and is scheduled
to continue until Saturday, August
II. Seeded players among the men
are Malcolm Fox, of Baltimore, who
won the singles matches last year,
Don Leavens, of Washington, who
just won the singles and the doubles
title with Buddy Adair, at the Blue
grass tournament held at Bluefield,
w. Va, last week, Phil Neff, of Wash
ington and Ed Kilgus, of Brockway,
Pa.
The mems singles progressed
smoothly with only one upset among
the seeded players. This occurred
when Doyle Royal, of Washington,
defeated third seeded Phil Neff, of
Washington, in an easy match 60,
60. A near upset was in the match
between the champion Malcolm Fox,
of Baltimore, and Buck Anterior, a
junior player, of Charleston, w. Va
Atherton took the first set 6-3 and
with the help of smashing, power
full serve almost took the second set.
But at the last minute he lost the set
point, and Fox took the set 8-6. The
third set went to Fox 60. In the next
round Fox played Kahl Spriggs, of
Washington, defeating him, 81, 6-3,
81.
Those who have watched the play
ing of this tournament for a number
of years were interested in the match
between Alex Kettles, of Baltimore,
and Red Brown, of Elkins, w. Va.
Eleven years ago these two players
met in the finals here, and Kettles was
defeated. This year was the first
time they had met ON these courts
since, and Keiles defeated Brown, 81,
60.
The women's singles have been
played off to the semi-fnals with
very little excitement. Lettie Ewing,
of Wheeling, w. Va, easily took her
matches with Elizabeth Cotton, Ha-
gerstown, $3.50, and Frances Bas-
sett, Washington, 60, Ga. Mary Ann
Hugus, also of Wheeling, drew a by
on the first two rounds and will play
her mother, Mrs. Wright Hugus, to-
day.
As yet no doubles have been played.
There have been a number of
parties and informal entertaining for
the players and their friends. A re-
ception was held on Tuesday night
at the Mt. Lake Park Hotel, and an
informal dance was given at the Oak
land Country Club on Wednesday
night The semi-formal annual sub

Square hospital, which was then one
of the finest hospitals in Baltimore.
On the tenth day of July, 1910, Dr.
Sollars hung out his single, and
from that day to this he has never
had time even to polish it. A country
practitioner gives all of his time and
energy to his work, and DR.. Sollars
is a fine example of one who has
served his community untiringly and
devotedly for forty years.
Dr.. Sollars said that in spite of

nothing could compensate for the
value of the old remedies, coupled

Swindlers Are Lodged
In County Calaboose,
Trap Each Other

Two men posing as wholesale deal
ers have allegedly rocked several
Oakland merchants out of more than
$4,000 and are now confined to the
county Jail, Sheriff Juniper Tcets re-
ported today.
The men had trapped themselves,
one writing a bad check for the other
and the latter cashing it.
Vernon Hancock, Meadville, Pa,
was picked up Sunday morning on
the bad check charge. He had writ
ten a $500 check in favor of his as
sociate, William Wallace, who then
cashed it at Jim's Place, Alder street.
The check was returned marked "No
Funds"
Wallace was picked up yesterday
on warrant charging false pretenseS
sworn out by Cheston Browning and
Harvey Mustard.
Wallace had told Browning that he
could supply him with truck load
of sugar for $4,000. Browning ac-
cepted, gave Wallace the cash, and
then waited for the arrival of the
sugar, the Sheriff said. 1t never came.
The duo also approached Harve's
Market, telling the owner, Mr.. Mus
sard they had stock of canned
goods they would sell at a reduction.
All that was needed was $1,1S0 to
cover the bill. Mustard supplied the
necessary funds.
Wallace is scheduled for hearing
tomorrow, but according to Sheriff
Teets, it will be waived for action by
the grand jury.

Commission Wants
In-Season Fishing
For Deep Creek Lake

Lloyd Cook, district game warden,
told directors of the Mt. Top Cham
Der of Commerce Monday that the
Game and Inland Fish Commission
recommended that Deep Creek Lake
be open for in-season fishing, begin
ming, February Is.
Cook explained that the move
would permit fishermen to reduce the
overabundance of carp, cat fish,
suckers and crappies which do con
siderable harm to bass fry.
He said that since 1888, 277,903
fngerlings and 1,615 adult bass had
been stocked in the lake. 3,400 bass
were added this year.
A survey by the Department of Re
search and Education is now being
conducted relative to plant growth
and how it affects the fish population,
which information will be used to in
sure more satisfactory stocking in
the future.
Cook favored the possibility of re-
turning the Youghiogheny to its once
famous status as a fisherman's para
disc He alluded to the State anti
pollution law which covers all indus
tries except mining. He suggested an
addition to the law which would curb
mine operators from emptying drain
age into the rivers, and thus permit
the water to return to a purity suit
able for trout.
