Fifteen targets we set up on the broad ex- panse of ground which is a playground, eleven for the men and four for the women. The targets were set up at | distances of sixty, fifty and forty yards, and two competitors took their places at the shoot off line on each target. Thirty contestants were in competition at different times and ex- hibited to the spectators a sport that has been almost forgotten in thi cinity. Four varfously colored circles were palnted about a ring of gold in the center of the target, which was the bullseye, and shots counted in points for the di ent rings, seven, five, three and one. For a perfect hit, in the gold painted circle, nine points were credited to the shooter. Dr. Robert P. Elmer of Wayne, Pa., who won the double American round at the last tournament in Chicago last year, also showed best in this competition and headed the list of competitors. J. S. Jiles of Pittsburgh was second with the same total of hits, but his points only totaled 1,045, while James Duff took third with 171 hits and 1,007 points. In the women's competition, the Columbia round, Miss Norma Plerce of Boston was second and Miss M. Desseau of Boston was third.

So: Two pitching een by Geo Spires and re of the verdure colored stocking wearers, proved too much for Lawrence at League park vester- day afternoon and consequently the O’Haras failed to score in either of the combats in the double bill. In the opening game, which went nine frames, the Sc ored six runs against { none by the opponents and in the sec- ond tilt two runs scored by the | Flynnites proved more than sufficient to make a double killing. Both Harry Gero and Phil Powers, whom Mana- ger Flynn sent to the mound to do ling, handled themselves in v capable shion. Each aliowed the invaders five hits in the tilt w hich he pitched and neither allowed the sitors to assemble the hits in suf- ficient quantities to make a run p ble. Spires drove in three of the runs scored by the locals in the double bill and had a great day around third base.

A Lawn Tennis Prediction. A few weeks ago we asked Fred Alexander what he thought of Kuma- gae's chance for a shot at the lawn tennis champlonship. “Tt is all a matter,” said Alexander, who is one of the keenest tennis stu- dents in the country, “ef how he ad- vances in his play over grass courts. Kumagae is undoubtedly a wonder over hard clay courts. A better player than many belleve him to be. But he has had no great experience over the grass battlefleld, and this may work heavily against his style of game. But he is the most adaptable chap, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see him pick up the turf court game in short order. If he does he will be a most worthy opponent for 2ny man he meets." The Tip Makes Good. Alexander’s tip has made good in such fashion that the Jap star today must be given his chance at Forest Hills in the national championship that starts next week. He proved well enough at Newport, where he defeated William Johnston, that he is coming upon the turf court game at top speed. And he will be further advanced at Forest Hills than he was at Newport. ~Any tennis player who can down Clarence J. Griffin four times and defeat William | Johnston in a five-set match is not to be treated too lightly in the advance dope. And any entry who can rise superior to handicaps which Kuma- gae has faced through lack of com- petition in his own country can rise rise still higher. The Davis cup trophy belongs now in Australia.
