Englhh ‘Association Has Numerous Suggutions—‘—Would Bar ‘Dirt Courts From Davis Cup Mwuheo—Chn.nget Would Favor England’s Style. New York, Dec. 21.—As If to atone for its oversight in permitting the formation of the International Wn Tennis Federation to be undertaken by _eontinental authorities, the Eng- lish Lawn Tennis association is’ now coming to the fore with numerous sug- gestions for changes in the Davis cup and general tennis playing rules. The English lawn tennis association pro- pPoses to submit at the international lawn tennis federation meeting in March a new service regulation which is at wide divergence with the pres- ent code. The radical departure from the existing rule can be perceived ‘Wwhen it is understood that if the new regulation is adopted it will be neces- sary for the server to replace the foot raised from the ground in service, be- hind the base line before stepping into the court, instead of swinging into the court with the raised foot once the service is completed, as is permissible under the existing code. This change would have the effect of slowing up a player who followed his service with a rushing for the net and since a large proportion of English players advocate the deep court game it would be less detrimental to the English game than to that of almost any other country where tennis has reached high class status. A number of changes in the rules governing the Davis cup play are also put forward as desirable, although | England lost the possession of the in- ternational tennis trophy Jast July when the United States team defeated the cup defenders, three matches out of fivee The English lawn tennis as- sociation would aliow the playing of Davis cup matches on turf or natural | or_artificial gritty material which ap- "pears more likely to fit a gravel than a dirt court. Another proposed change would bar a player fromr competing from any country but the one which he repre- sented in his first Davis cup play. The powers of the referees are also in- creased by the suggested changes well as by a number of rather technical alterations proposed, which leads to wonder that these alterations in the code governing an international tro- phy, donated by an American, were not proposed before England lost the cup. Johnson-Moran Fight Postponed, Paris, Dec. 20.—“Jack” Johnson, the negro pugilist, satd today that the In- Jury to his left-arm would necessitate the postponement of his fight with Frank Moran of Pittsburgh, until March or June, Excusing the tame performance in the ring here last night with Battling Jim_Johnson, another negro pugllist, the heavyweight champlon said that in the third round he had hurt his arm 80 badly that he was unable to use it. A physiclan examined the arm at the clese of the bout which had been de clared a draw, and reported that he found a small bone just above the ‘wrist broken, COOMBS MAY BE AS GOOD AS EVER Iron Man Is on Road to Health Once More. Philadelphia, _Dec. 21—John W. Coombs, the Philadelphia American league club’s baseball pitcher, who was unable to play wit hthe team last sea- son because of illness, left here to- night for his home at West Kenne- bunk, Maine. He plans to spend the winter on_his farm and/ expects to join the Athletics in Philadelphia about June. He will not accompany the team on the spring training trip. “I have been cautioned to take my time this winter,” said Coombs, “and you can wager I will. I am gaininz {weight rapidly and fee] fine, now that | I can walk and run a little. Ag a re- | sult of my fliness, I am one-sixteenth { of an inch shorter, but I am ten times {the man I was six months ago.” Coombs’ physician stated today that there was no reason why Coombs should not be as good a pitcher nexi year as he ever was. Tinker Fails to Arrive. Indianapolis, Dec, 21.—Wilbert Rob- inson, manager of the Tgooklyn Na- ional league club, was here today for a conference with Joe Tinker, but the | latter did not arrive. Robinson said {he did not attach much importance to the shortstop’s failure to come here to meet him. President Ebbets, Rob- inson said, would complete the deal with Tinker, Dunn’ Rolls 199. DQD‘E.R% CL‘DQE ' DEAL FOR TINKEB. chnrf. H. Ebbets and Garry Herr- mann Reach Agreement—Reds May Qn Yingling nnd ‘Moran. Cincinnati, 0., DI& 21.—The contro- \'fl'qav.rthcammofs Ly between the Brooklyn and Clncinnati clubs was settled ai a conference be- tween Charles H.

A supplementary - agreement also nm Cincinnati the privilege of pur- chasing Earl Yingling, pitcher, and Herbie Moran, outflelder, of Brooklyn, while Brooklyn can buy Dick Egan, d baseman of ‘secon the local team. This latter deal is optional With both club: They have until Jan. 7 to exercise their opuonx. ‘incinnat! can purchase unx for $8,500 and Moran for ), while Bof;aoklyn can obtain Egan Y Pm‘ $5, Tt is almost certain that these deals will be closed. It was said that final arrangements for the transfer of the players would have been made today but for the fact that both Messrs. Eb- bets and Herrmann desired to confer ‘with their managers before closing the deal. Mr. Ebbets said he would con- fer with Wilbert Robinson, Brooklyn's manager, as soon as he returned home, and Mr. Herrmann will talk the matter over with Charley Herzog, the Reds’ new leader, during the na.tiona‘l base- ball commission meeting here in Jan- uary. If both clubs exercise their options, the Brooklyn club obtains Tinker and ‘Egan for $30,000, $20,000 going to Cin- cinnati and $10,000 to Tinker for sign- ing. Cincinnati obtains Yingling and Moran for $12,500. Considering money -subtractions, the total trade therefore would be that Cincinnati will give Tinker and Egan’'to Brooklyn for Yingling and Moran and $7,500, Tin- ker getting $10,000 from Brooklyn out of the deal. The conference lasted almost three hours and at its conclusion both Messrs, Bbbets and Herrman, as weli as Mr. Stephens, stated that they werc entirely satisfled with the arrange- ments. Mr. Stephens represents thai portion of the board of directors of the Cincinnati club which last week disapproved of #he Tinker deal as con- summated after the National league meeting in New York. i 21—Local New Haven, Conn.

TELEPHONE BOOMS. Announcement of Dissolution Stimulating Effect. New York, Dec. 21.—The half-day session yesterday was the most im- portant business day of the week on the New York Stock Exchange. The list of stocks dealt in was increased and the volume was especially large in view of only two hours’ trading, com- | pared with the usual five which consti- business day. Two events responsible for the sud- den activity—the passage of the eur- rency bill in amended form by the Sen- ate and the announced dissolution of the Bell Telephone system. In the cur- rency measure the fact that it had been passed rather than the question of its passage resulted in cheerfulness, as it had been a foregome conclusion that Senate would act on it probabaly by ‘he end of the week. The announ: ent by the Amerncan Telephone and elegraph Company that it would dis- pose of its holdings of Western Union Telegraph stock, and in other respects would follow out the requirements of anti-trust law, really was more stimulating to the stock market than the currency bill news, owing to the fact that the telephone company had aken the initiative instead of await- Has A | ing the result of a suit by the govern- ! ment that would have been both cost- | ly and disturbing to business: ‘Wall Street was taken entirely h\ surprise by the news of the action of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, as the matter had been kept an absolute secret; Not even the intimate associates of the high officials of the company it was said were given a suggestion of the contemplated move. Naturally Tele- phone stock was the attraction in trad- ing on the New York Stock Exchange, the first sale was at 120 1-2, which w. followed by transactions at 121,121 1 and 122 immediately, as compared with 117 1-4, Friday’s closing price, and very soon afterward the price rose to 124 1-4 7 points The whole ac ive list was benefited except Western Un- ion Telegraph, which showed a loss of 2 1-2 points at the close. The selling of Western Union was due to the un- certainty regarding its future and how of the telephone company’s holdings \\ estern Union stock will be sold. STOCKS. High.

The Porteous & Mitchell Co. WEDDING GLOVE FOR BRIDE Third Finger Is Left Unstitched So That the Ring Can Be Slipped On. A bappy era has dawned for the bride at the fateful moment when the | ring is about to be placed on her fin- ger. Instead of the usual struggle to re- move her left hand glove she will now be able to uncover the third fin- ger without effort and without losing her composure. This delightful result is to be ob- tained by an Ingenious “wedding glove” device. The inside seam on th® third finger of the left glove is un- stitched, so that all that the bride need do is to slip her finger through the siit to receive the ring. The fin- ger can just as easily be slipped back into the glove after the ceremony. The device will be greatly appre- ciated not only by the bride, but also | by the nervous bridegroom. The story of the origin of the wed- ding glove has come.to light Eame- time ago a girl who bad lost her right | arm in the hunting field asked for & single wedding glove. She remerked on the awkwardness of having to remove her glove with the heip of her testh, and it was then +seen. that matters would ,be greatly fedlitated for the bride if she only had to uncover the ring finger. The experiment was so successful that it aroused the interest of other prospective brides, who saw in 1t a boon which would save them from the usual difficulties of removing a whole glove in the moment when tke ring is about to be put on.—Exchangs.

Its of | SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS How it Is Forced From Great Depths in Louisiana by Means of Hot Water. Within recent years Sicily, so long famous for its exportation of sulphur, has suffered from the competition of the United States. In Sicily sulphur s mined in the solid form. At Lake Charles, La., near the Gulf of Mexico, a little over 200 miles from New Or- leans, sulphur is obtained from deep deposfts in the form of a liquid. ‘Wells driven to a depth of 600 feet in search of petroleum revealed in. stead a Tich deposit of sulphur. To obtain the mineral hollow tubes werq | driven into the earth. Fach sulphur well consists of three tubes, one with- in another. Through the outer tube hot water is forced down, and it is- sues through perforations near the botiam. Through the central tube hot air is driven a little lower than the points where the hot water es- c¢apes. Through this third tube, in- | closed between the other two, the H- | quid sulphur, dizeolived by the water, | rises to the surface under the comw | bined infliience of the pressure of the column of wrter and impulsion of the i rising 2ir.
