WILL REUEVE CONGESTION
Assistant Park Superintendent
Hoffert Suggests Plan For
Adults' Accommodation
Congestion on the city's tennis
courts at Reservoir park during the
summer months will be relieved If a
plan suggested by J. R. Hoffert, assist
ant superintendent of parks, can be
■worked out successfully.
Assistant Superintendent Hoffert's
scheme is to prohibit children under
sixteen from using the courts Satur
day afternoons and after 5 o'clock on
week days. By this plan the adult
players who can only use the courts
after working hours, may have an op
portunity of playing without being
compelled to wait until the younger
folks release them.
"For years the Reservoir courts
have been more than ordinarilv pop
ular," said Mr. Hoffert, "and the de
mand for more courts has been grow
ing every season. The park authori
ties hope to have additional courts
provided, but If Council fails to allow
sufficient funds this year for the build
ing of new ones, the increasing de
mand will have to be filled as satisfac
torily as the circumstances will per
mit.
"The plan hasn't been definitely de
cided upon as yet. but the idea' now
held is to limit the playing hours of
the youngsters of sixteen or under
to week-days up to say 5 o'clock and
up until noon Saturdays.
"Most of the older people who play
—and believe me. they are in a ma
jority—can't possibly get to the courts
before 5 o'clock and then even In the
long days of summer, the playing time 1
is necessarily limited because of the
light. Some of the older folks get a
chance to get out to the parks Satur
day afternoon and for this reason I
think we can work out a plan to pro
vide a chance for everybody and not
curtail the fun of any."
New screens and concrete bases with
Iron poles will likely be provided for
the Reservoir courts if Council allows
Park Commissioner M. Harvey Tay
lor's request for funds for the purpose
in the 1914 budget.

War to a Finish
Is Federal Slogan;

Chicago, 111., March 9. —The gaunt
let has been thrown down by the Fed
eral League. The war is on. Before
leaving for Shreveport, on the Chi

of fight planned sometime ago by the
Feds.

the summons of Manager Joe Tinker,

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HI lOJN7 SHADE
Don't stay gray! Here's a simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with a hair brush
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Bemedy,' you will get 'this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and Is splendid for dandruff,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell I' has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
abundant.—Advertisement.

No Summer Baseball
For College Players
Special to The Telegraph
New York, March 9.—That the sta
tus of the collegian who plays "sum
mer baseball" will remain unchanged
at the leading Eastern colleges and
universities appear certain from re
cent statements issued by those in po
sitions of authority.
Notwithstanding that a number of
'varsity team captains have publicly
stated their belief that a student may
play baseball for money or other in
ducements during summer vacation
and still preserve his amateur athletic
status while in college, these Utopian
days are not for the present world of
undergraduate sport.
