tional clay conrt tournament Tuesday
morn In and early afternoon. The rain at
noon TucedaV did not delay the play"'
.. a few moments, the clay courts drying
okly after the shoser.
Pecause of the late tart. only smsle
matches were played up to the middle or
the afternoon, but It u planned to start
tba doubles late this evening.
Roland Hoerr of SL Louis, playing
brilliantly executed game, defeated F. O
Anderson of Reading. Fa. In three gruell
ing seta, ending 6-1, 4-6. 6-1. for Hoerr.
Tn Ft. louls man won the first Bet by
a wonderful exhibition of speedy tennis,
sending the ball with terrific speed Into
Anderson's territory, and playing a great
net game.
la ths second set Anderson got Into his
stride and by means of clever work with
hit raquet. won tt 6-4. He played far
back In th court, shooting th ball low
over th net and using chiefly a back
hand stroke. Hoerr found It too much for
him and really surrendered th set after
the fifth gam. Up to that time h fought
hard, winning two straight, when Ander
son had him 4-L
Hoerr took the final set. -. playing th
best game he had ever played. Hla serv
picked up appreciably and a variety of
strokes and poaltiona In covering his court
mad th gam too faat for the older
player.
Drsan4 Janes Lose.
H." Winston of Norfolk, Ya.. put
Drommoni Jones, another of ha St. Louis
layers, out In 2-. 6-1. -. Winston started
out slow and th first set Jones had the
contest all his .way. His clever lobs were
uneolvable for th Virginian, but In th
second set Winston got down to business
and won It wtlh caa In 6-L Jones was still
fighting all through the last set, but th
easterner was too much for him and out
played him easily all th set. Winston's
peculiar hook. Imparted to th ball when
he waa playing at th net, sending It to
almost any part of th court, wa a mat
ter tor much wonderment by th spectat
ors. T. r. Kennedy of Omaha gav Jack
.'cannon, the Kansas City expert, th first
trouble h has had th entire tournament.
Cannon only winning th set after the
sets had gone, 6-4, -7. This Is th first
match that Cannon has played that h
has lost a game. Kennedy played well,
hut the superior skill of th visitor waa
too much for th local racquelsr.
Iowa rkajaf) Lom.
Jo Armstrong, th youthful wonder of
t. Paul and holder of the Minnesota state
tide, walloppsd Fted Bradley, champion of
Iowa, In 6-L 6-L Armstrong plsyed a won
derful game, markedly Improved sine his
MBit last year to the national clay court.
Armstrong's serve was too much for the
Iowa lad. the hound taking it far out of
th court and th Minnesota champ makes
good his opportunity when his opponent
leaves th opposite of th court unguarded
t get th serve. Bradley took a brao in
each of th two sets played, winning on
gam before Armstrong could settle down
and start his winning streak again.

He Fought the James Boys;
First Visit Here Since 1858
It Is generally considered to be
some feat for a man burdened by
seventy winters, to even walk up
town once a day, but not so with
Jehu Watson of Grant City, Mo.
Watson arrived In Omaha early
Thursday morning from Grant Clty
a distance of about liS miles, after
a hard ride on horseback. His visit
marks the flrsfone here since 1S,
and to tay that he was surprised
when he entered the city would be
putting It mildly.
Watson came bore to deliver seven
horses to Al. Dreeher. who will us,
them for delivery purposes, and his
only companion mas a small lad of
Sbout 16 yesn". . When here last, he
croseed the Missouri river on a horse
ferry boat, and there m-ere precisely
3,000 fouIs here then. Council Bluffs
was In lis Infancy, a little more than
a trading post and well. Mr. Wat
Mn's feelings could only find expres
sion In the simple ejaculation, Ge
Whilllkena" f
Watson Is a civil war veteran, and
has three ugly wounds on his body,
but In spite of this. Is healthy and
active. He did not seam a bit tired
from hla long ride, and expressed
his eagerness to visit Samson's den
and enjoy himself with th metal
men, the sheriffs and other persons
here to attend th various conven
tions. When asked to be photographed,
he blushingly said that If he did it
would be for th first, time In his
life, and when he was finally posed
In front of the camera. It was with
the greatest effort that he was kept
quiet enough to be snapped.
"I fit th James boys In Mlseourey
In my day, and I got a mark from
Jess that will stay with me for
life." Her he rolled back his sleeve
hnd showed a jagged mark where a
bullet from the gun of the famous
bandit had cruelly torn his flesh.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK. Md.. Aug. 8.
President Tuft traveled 4u0 miles through
Maryland and West Virgin 1 today by spe

the United States to us their moral In

and French arbitration f eaties and treaties
with Nicaragua and Honduras. His ap

church.
"I observe," ssid ths president, "that
there is some suggestion that by ratifying
this treaty, the senate n.ay In some way
abdicate its function of treaty "'''"g I
confess myself unable to perceive the
treaty in any such a point.
"To have thes treaties not ratified by
ths aenats of the United States or to have
any hesitation and discussion of a serious

hood meetings was not discussed at the
Monday night meeting of the Board of

men who were not satisfied with the prac
tical discussion of the possibility of open

frage society, by Alice G. Millie, presented
a lengthy memorial, which advocated ths

greatness among the masses, denounced
th churches for neglect and threatened
to defeat every man who voted against It.
This letter was filed.

contractors for the Monmouth Park school,
which will probably cost upwards ot 130,
000. Miss Elizabeth Thomson resigned from

elected to replace her. The following
teachers were placed upon the assigned list
of principals: Pearl Macumber, Margaret

ANNAPOIJS. Md.. Aug. Admiral
Count Togo, today Inspected th ground)
and buildings of the United States naval
academy here. His program made possible
only a hasty walk and the most casual ob
servtlon. In three hours he saw the entire
prpup of buildings and declared the place
to be a moft complete and comprehcnflve
institution.
The party lunched at the house of Super
intendent John H. Gibbons. The latter
offered a toast to the emperor of Japan
and Adrilral Togo responded with one to
the president of the United States. Then
in broken English, but Intelligibly, the sd
mlral toafted the Japanese graduates of
the United Stntes naval academy who are
now serving tn the Japanese fleet and who,
the admiral hoped, "would strengthen the
link of friendship between the United
States and Japan." 1
At the bier of John Paul Jones the ad
miral raused and stood. The protralt of
Admirals Dewey, Sampson and Farragut
next caught his eye and he lingered long
before each.
After a brief stop at the chapel, the
Japanese and his party concluded their
visit and returned ot Washington.
