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.
Prizes, in addition to the silver cups
which will he on display in Bogar's
store on Monday, have been received

be awarded the winners early next
week. They are:

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:

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

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

These buttons can be obtained In the

Is Infinitely less than that or buckles;
