TENNIS PLAYERS SHY BUCK COT WWII Much Dissatisfaction Over Com mittee's Defaulting Player at Very End of Tournament Tennis players throughout Harris burg were sore all over to-day be cause the tennis tournament commit tee yesterday put A. S. Black out of the contest by default. The claim is made that Black is being unjustly treated, and that he and Magee should play oft their contest before the finals are played. Magee and McCreath were scheduled for the final event to day. The semifinals in the men's singles were on the program yesterday aft ernoon with A. S. Black and J. A. Magee as the contestants. Black was unexpectedly called out of the city, and gave notice to that effect in time to have the match called off. The committee, however, claimed that no tice was given to play all matches oft before Saturday. Charles K. Dasher, one of the members of the committee. Bald to-day: "We followed our rules. Black should not have left the city. He and others were told to play off all matches before Saturday in order that the finals could be playted to-day. Magee, who lives out of the city, was on hand. He was awarded the match on default of Black because the lat ter was not on hand to play. "Magee would not agree to play the match to-day. It would not be fair to have him play two matches in one day. If he won from Black It would mean that he would have to play against a man who was fresh, and would not have been a fair con test to have two matches in one day. Magee followed the rules. The com mittee could do nothing else. If Ma gee agrees to play the match with Black to-day and the finals can be put off until next week. I will agree to that arrangement, but I do not think that can be done." Friends of Black insist that It is not a fair deal; declare that there was really no necessity for playing the finals to-day, as McOroath would have been willing to play the final match next week. It is understood that Black and his friends propose to make a vigorous protest against the action of the committee. Miss Elizabeth Groff. ladies' singles champion, to-day defended her title agnii»st Mrs. C. H. Sauers.

BURG HOME j FDR THREE BIG GiMES Lost to Lancaster Yesterday, bat Still Has Good Lead on the Teatons With only one defeat credited against them for the week, Cocklll s crew returned last night for a short visit home. An average of three games a week will be played at Island Park from now until the close of the sea son. There are no local Saturday games after to-day. Allentown will be the attraction at Island Park Monday and Tuesday. Then will come a trip to Trenton and Reading. On Monday, August 17, Wilmington will be here for three games. In the opinion of Manager Cockill, to get a lead of live games will be a big help. Lancaster won yesterday's game through timely hitting. Allentown was also a loser and Harrisburg's drop was not costly. John Fox pitched for Cockill's crusaders and was out of condition. But for fast fielding and some real swatting the score would j have been different. Lancaster won ; by one run, scoring in the sixth and I seventh innings. Wertz and Stevens I kept the hits well scattered, except In the fourth inning. The visitors drew first blood in the I second inning when Cannel singled, I Emerson pulled a safety and Fox sac- | riflced. In the fourth Cockill doubled and after Miller's out Whalen hit for three bases, driving in the run, Whalen coming home on McCarthy's double. Wertz was then taken out and Stev- i ens went in. Emerson's hit sent McCarthy to third and he scored on Fox's fly to Clay. In the sixth three singles brought another run. In the seventh, after two men were out. Clay was passed and scored when Whalen threw wild on Bold's grounder. The score: HARRISBURG AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Following is a sug gestion of substitute for shoe buckles made for the girl who dances: "The rhinestone or cut-steel buckle which plays such a glittering part in modern footgear Is, however, regretta bly expensive. An effective and less costly substitute, not o fthe material but o fthe shape, Is the rhinestone or steel button. Some of the smartest shoes, especially the walking slipper of patent leather and the evening slip per of black satin, are so ornamented. These buttons can be obtained In the ■hops In endless variety and their cost Is Infinitely less than that or buckles; ' Indeed, there will be many a button { bag that will yield up a pair of per haps more of these ship llttVe treas ; ures. "These buttons may be sewed di rectly on the slipper toe or may be cen tered In a tiny bow of two loops—no ends —of velvet, satin, gros grain, or r chiffon. AT'OirST 8, 1 4.
