Loval tennis players and others who are interested in the game are looking forward with considerable anticipation to the tour- rament of the Southern Lawn Tennis As- sociation, which is to be held on the 18th of May on the grounds of the Bachelors’ Club. The principal event will be the con- test for the southern championship, which is represented by a silver bowl, whicn is now held by J. Parmley Paret of New York, who must defend his right to con- tinue to hold the championship with the winner of the singles. In addition to this prize, there will be substantial recognition given to those whe stand first and second in the doubles, and also to the one holding | the second rank in the singles. Consola- tion prizes will alsu be provided. A num- ber of players ‘rom other cities are ex- pected to take part in the tournament, and the local piayers will be, it is hoped, well represented. Among these are Mr. Good- fellow, Mr. Driscoll, Metcalf, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Geoghcgan, Mr. Wilson. and Mr. Ogden. Mr. f’aret, the cnampion, has notified the committee that he will attend the tournament, and will play the winner of the singles. AMATEUR LISTS SUSPENDED. Weekly Bulletin of Chairman Mott of the L.

New Middleweight Pugilist. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 6.—Welter- weight Geo. Green, who is in training for a contest with Chas.

How about the operation of the cars on the steep grade on 6th street and Louisiana avenue in the winter time with the thermometer below zero, and the cylinders under exposure of such an atmosphere for half an hour or so frcm time of hot charging at, the power house? Fotrth, the roadbed is very bad, unsightly and uneven, sv that no matter how solid and elegant the new cars may be the wabble is very apparent and anything but pleasant to the passenger. Fifth, the cars, judging from the pattern now. on exhibition, are cheap, loosely constructed affairs, with unsightly smeke stacks stick- ing out shanty-lHke’ on the roof. They have no electric bells, the seats are very tncomfortable, a molding digs into one’s back, an unpleasant odor arises from the stove, or whatever the contrivance is, and then cne cannot help thinking about ‘the highly charged cylinders right under his seat, Hable at any moment to blow him into eternity. Compare duch a contrivance with the beautiful, elegant, solid, smooth- running, rapid, comfortable cars on F and 9th streets. Why should not the people on the Eckinetcn route have the same comfort of travel as those on the lines of the Metro- politan, Columbia and Traction Company? I am convinced that this compressed air system fs only a makeshift, a means of avoiding the expense of putting in an underground system, and I hope it will not be approved by the Commissioners of the District. H. ——— Ladies and Base Ball. To the Ealtor of The @vening Star: On behalf of many patrons of the great national game of base ball, please allow me to request the management to throw open all of the covered stands to the holders of- 50-cent tickets. This would increase the re- ceipts. It would be a good thing for the management, as well as for the public. The reason for this is apparent to the most casual observer. Very«few people care to pay more than 50 cent's.to,see the game. Under the present system the so-called “grand stand” seats jare practically re- served for “deadheads” only. Nearly all of the best seats are’! ed by ladies holding free tickets, Wail the presence of ladies adds to the interest of the occa- sion, they are financially a failure. Most ladies und little of the game, and care less; but free adi is a “bar- gain,” which they repist. On “ladies” days” the grand si is well filled with them. On other daysb¢when they would have to pay) ‘the ladi chasing some other “bargain.” s Admission at the ratid of 16 to 1 (16 free admissions to 1 paid) aus the with deadheads on ‘ys and leaves it a wilderness of empty ‘benches at other times, : If the grand stand shquldibe thrown open suggested, the lady whe attends to ex- hibit her new bicycle suit and chew gum would be just as well satisfied even if she could not see the game so well. ladies who’ cannot distinguish a “foul” 6, 1897-14 PAGES.

COLLEGE BASE BALL, Princeton, Brown Lafayette the Principal Winners. The Tigers had no trouble in defeating Lehigh yesterday by 11 to 4. Altman’s -pitching, the stick work of Butler and Easton and the fine fielding of Bradley and Wilson were the features of the game. Up to the ninth inning Altman struck out twelve Lehigh batsmen and allowed them but two hits, The Tigers, as a team, field- ed loosely, and if they hope to win the championship it is felt that a speedy brace must be taken by the team. Harvard was again defzated by Brown yesterday, the crimson this time being shut out. The game was a pitchers’ battle, but Harvard's errors lost her the game. Paine outpitched Brady and allowed Brown but four hits; Harvard getting bui five, how- ever, off the latter. Harvari was unable to bat at opportune times, and was clearly outplayed at every point by Brown.

He fielded his position well and bat- ted in seven runs. There is talk of giving a testimonial to “Bid” McPhee, the Cincinratts’ second baseman, shortly. “Bid" is one of the most popular players in, the big league, and he has hosts of friends in the profession an out. McPhee's work with the Cincinnati club for many years past has been of the very best, and he is entitled to recognition. The score of the Washington-Boston game by innings will be displayed in front of The Star office this afternoon, as wiil also be the other games in the league. The game starts about 3:30. Perry Werden has caught on well in Louisville. In condition, he is one of the best first basemen in the business. Tie and Wilson, the Colonels’ new backstop, both played in the Western League together for the past several seasons. Joe Quinn is putting up a great game at third for the Baitimores, and advices from that city indicate that McGraw has played his last game fer the Orioles. The serious sickness that bothered Mac during almost the entire season of ‘ds has weakened him considerably, and he is now but a ghost of his former self—St. Louis Exchange. “I believe that Jesse Burkett, the cham- pion batter of the world, is a little jealous of Sockalexis,” said Eddie Burke this morning. “Yesterday, when the crowd was ckecring and whooping for the Indian, [ said to Burkett, “They think pretty well of old Secks up here, don’t they, Jess? ‘Oh, I don't know,’ said he. ‘He's ‘pretty warm just now.

Harvard Class Races Rowed on the Charles This Afternoon. A special from Cambridge, Mass., to the New York World, says that the first great test of Mr. Lehmann’s work as coach of the Harvard crew comes this afternoon, when the annual class races will be rowed on the Charles. The races are exciting great interest, and practically the whole university will be found on the banks ot the river or on boats to follow the racers. Indeed, shoutd the day be fatr, it will seem more Ifke the Oxford and Cambridge re- gattas than an American college race. Nearly a hundred men take part in the races, and as many more have tried for places. Never before in the long and check- ered history of rowing at Harvard has there been anything like the present en- thusiasm. ‘The favorites are the juniors. They have done one-time row within twenty seconds of record time, and not under the test con- ditions, and they have beaten the ‘varsity in a short scrap. The sophomore crew won last year, but they are much weaker now that Whiibeck has been taken to the ‘varsity. They row a modified Lehmann stroke—shorter and quicker than the 'varsity—but their blade troubles them.- The freshmen have only been in their shell four or five days, but Mr. Lehmann is plezsed with their work and thinks it will land them winner in the triangular fresh- iren race at Poughkeepsie in June.
