Tennis Stars of East dn Wes To Clash in Special Tourney " New York, July 3l.—Lawn tennis enthusiasts in New York awaiting the start of the annual east versus west matches, which will be decided at the West Side Tennis club, Forest Hiils, N. Y., on Aug. 4 and 5. Some time ago word came from the west that Maurice McLoughlin, the former national champion, had de- ~cided not to compete in any matches with the exception of the natio championships, but McLoughlin never personally denied or affirmed this report. Many of his friends believe that he will be in the west's lineup when the intersectional matches re contested. McLoughlin has always | aeen a favorite here as much as in California, and there is no doubt that interest would be added to the series if the westerner were in it. He would like to try his skill against R. Norris Williams before the national cham- pionships, and the opportunity to do this is offered to him in the coming serfes. It is doubtful, however, whether Willlams and McLoughlin would meet, since Williams probably Wwill be named as No. 1 man on the eastern team, while William H. John- ston, the present champion, could not be overlooked for the same position on the western team even if the fans | might rather see McLoughlin drawn against Williams.

Sheldon of the nnecticut Field Com- pany, Signal Troops, has written the following interesting lette from Troop H, First Cavalry, camp at Lc chiel, Arizona. The letter was maile in camp on July 23: As I am having an experience a lit- tle different from most of the Cou- necticut fellows, I am writing, think- ing that some of the readers of the Herald might be interested. { | | | | Erects Telephone Line. At present these are only two Siz- nal Companies in Nogales, Connecticut Field Company Troops, commanded by ( E. Cole of Hartford and Compan California Signal Troops of San cisco. Captain A. S. Cowan, Corps, U. S. A, is in charge signal work for the district. On Thursday he asked for a detail of an officer and five men from my com- pany and five men from the California company to erect a telephone line tween the camp of Troop H, Tt Cavalry and the office of the mir company at Duquesne which is con- nected by a private wire with the Nogales exchange. The length of the line to be erected is about five mil Men were picked out who had had experience in telephone work detail was given to me and I had to arrange for all the necessary supplics and equipment. I obtained for trans- portation six 3-ton auto trucks as the road from Nogales to Duquesne is ver: bad and it was nec ry to load the trucks light. There are two truck | companies of thirty-three truck each at Nogales, all 3-ton Kelly My train of six trucks left Nogales at 3 o’clock Friday after- noon and we encountered some bad nd after a very few miles. At five o’clock we reached the Santa Cruz river which is about two hundred vards wide at that point; it has a sandy bed and at that time had sev- eral channcls where the water was over a foot decep. It was quite a proposition for trucks the size of ours with a load of a ton and a half cach, s0 we laid planks, a pair at a time and spent twenty minutes in getting the first truck over. That was too slow so we rushed the sccond just as it was, without tire chains but with the men pushing in the baa spots so that the wheels could keep their grip. If the progre: of the truck had stopped the we would have carried the sand out from unde: the spinning wheels but w hai planks ready for that emergency and one truck on solid ground to pull it out if anything happened. ht minutes saw all through the river and later we stopp for b ks and men at the first of for the entire distan miles from Nog of th ter hour the tr two wells tweunty-five Duquesn AtiT plateau, th halt was called on a hig trucks pulled up clos one behind the other in the road and we prepared to spend the night, as we did not expect that anything would be on the road to pass us in which | we were correct. Camped In Roadside. The men boiled coffee nd themselves comfortable for the night, some in the trucks and some on the grounds. There are tarantulas, centl- pedes, scorpions and rattle snakes all through this region but none of them will harm you if you let them alone. Four men from my company were as a guard on the first truck one to be on duty at a time and the same arrangement was made for the last truck, four men from the California company. The road is probably perfectly safe, as civilians travel over it every day, but no chances were taken. The night was un- eventful save for the fact that me of the men claimed to have heard the growling of a mountain lion. Some Mountain Climbing. We were up at 4:15 Saturday morn- ing and on the way before 5:30. At 7:30 we reached the second wei] at the second house known as the “Bee- hive House,” because of the numer- ous beehives. Here we replenishod our water and started a climb of seven miles up a road, cut into the made which climbs fifteen hundred feet in | the seven miles. In many places the road was so narrow that the truclk wheels came within six inches of the edge, and only at long intervals was there room to pass another vehicle but the road was visible, a red st k on the mountain side, for miles ahead, drivers could see ch other plent of time.

Suppose we leave one side of the case to Art Shafer, the ex-Giant third | baseman or the Glant ex-third base- | man, just as youw'll have it. Shafer | took up baseball for the fun af it tried the game out several years thie major leagues. Then he quit baseball and took up clf, where he quickly began to chiove success. “Which of the like best—which furnishes the we asked Shafer recently.

Golf is played over a five-mile stretch of turf, water, hills, valleys and sand. A ball game is played in a five-acre lot. So far as I am concerned there isn’t any comparison. I can get more fun out of one golf game than I could out of ten ball games. Mainly be- cause in golf I am busy every minute of the two hours, while in baseball one is busy about thirty minutes out of the afternoon.” The Leading Game. This matter of comparative enjoy- ment or thrills in different games de- pends largely, of course, upaon differ- ent temperaments, But there is one game that seems to lead the list, when a vote {s taken tfrom those who have tried them all.

The two prettiest games to watel are polo and lawn tennis. Both hav more action than baseball or footbal —not more probably than football, b the play is out in the open where can be seen.
