Coos county will not be allowed to have a special building at the San Francisco exposi tion as was planned in spite of the efforts of Mayor Simpson of North Bend and the work of Harris D. H. Connick, director of works of the ex position, who, as a friend of Mr. Simpson, endeavored in behalf of Coos county to induce the fair officials to permit the building. The decision of the fair manage ment is a great disappointment to Mayor Simpson as he has for some time past worked hard in his efforts to carry out their plan. EARLY your Order Johns Captures tennis cup. , Pendleton( Juy 2. James S. Johns er8lwhile 8tar track- athlete of the University of Oregon, yesterday won 'new athletic laurels w;n he cap- tured the city championship in the first tennis tournament ever held here. He won the finals during the afternoon from Frank R. Atkins by taking three straight sets, 9-7, 6-1 and 6-3. The tournament began last Friday, and by the process of elimination the contest was harrowed down to Johns and Atkins. Previous to their match. Johns had defeated in turn R. E. Chloupek, W. C. McKinney and C. E. Nelson, while Atkins had won from C. O. Rhinehart, Foland Oliver and James Bowler. There was e great deal of interest in the final match and the odds were in favor of Atkins. 'Johns' style of playing proved too J much for him, however. Atkins is a quick, nervous player, inclined to I press the play as hard as possible. Johns is deliberate, taking plenty of time in serving and between serves nally won the marginal two games,. the other two sets were easy for him. Lodell to Protest Game. : Pendleton, July 2.
