Niles, of Boston, In the climax of the tournament tomorrow. Murray's advance was opposed to the limit of Strachan's ability and endur ance, the loser going down to defeat after one of the best exhibitions of tennis seen in the present tournament. The loser forced Murray to draw upon the last ounce of his vaunted speed and racquet skill, and It was at these times the victor showed the full extent of his power of stroke and court- covering pace. The match, the only one of the day's programme to - be completed, was played between thunder storms and to the accompaniment of frequent light ning flashes and rain. The weather conditions appeared to disconcert Strachan badly at times and undoubt edly threw him off his game to a con siderable extent. The rain halted the special exhibi tion between Miss Molla BJurstedt, of New York, and Miss Mary K. Browne, of Los Angeles, after one set and two games had been played. Miss BJur stedt won the set at 6-4, due to her harder and more accurate driving. The semi-final rounds were reached In both the Junior and boys' cham pionships. In the former C. S. Gar land.

BEAR STATE SQUAD BIG FULLY 20O YOUNGSTERS AR-E2 OUT FOR INITIAL PRACTICE. Coach Smith Pleased With Material and Hopes to Round Out Fast Scor ing Machine This Fall. SAN" FRANCISCO, .ug. 24. (Spe iaL) Fully 200 youngsters turned out for the initial practice of the season at the University of California todav. and, although Coach Andy Smith found only two members of last year's varsity leven. in the rollcall, he- expressed extreme satisfaction when he eyed the material in sight. The boys were run throusrh short but snappy setting-up exercises, but commencing tomorrow the programme will smack a whole lot of the real gaff, for the blue and gold director must build up a new team within the next two months and this, according to all standards of things gridiron, is no sinecure. Of last year's veterans Walter Gor don, varsity tackle, and "Dummy" Wells, fullback,' ere all to remind the spectators of the ashington-Calif ornla struggle. All the rest are gone to the war or have entered money-making pursuits. But despite this absence of trained help Smith feels that he will send a pretty smart rang; to scratch in the late Fall days. Smith is not all dahlia blossoms and tinsel over his prospects of licking Washington, but he has cast a discern ing eye to the freshmen of last year, and hopes to round out a pretty smart combination drawn from their ranks. HUGE BALLET IS CARRIED Special Accommodations Provided for 300 Rlngllng Girls. Three hundred dancing: girls! From whence do they come and how does the circus manage to accommo date them? Do they like to travel, and how many of them are suffragists? These are some of the questions which people ask regarding the bevy of fem ininity that compose the ballet in this season's new fairyland spectacle, "Cin derella," which, with its cast of 1250 people, is the most picturesque feature of Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows. "How the circus accommodates them" is not a difficult problem to a manage ment which moves, boards and lodges a total of 1370 people during a period of approximately 200 days of travel. The young ladies have a dining tent of their own, a separate train of Pull mans, and they are guardianed by Mrs. George Hartzell. wardrobe mistress of Rlngling Bros.' circus for a dozen years and who is known throughout the land of spangles as "the little mother of tha circus." The girls have a library, gym nasium and showers on their train. They attend rehearsal each morning: under the direction of Ottokar Bartik, ballet master of the Metropolitan Opera house; appear in the big spectacle for a matter of 20 minutes in the afternoon and again in the evening. The rest of the day belongs to their whims carried out under the chaperonage of Mrs. Hartzell. They are a happy lot and artists to their toe-tips, as you shall see should you witness Ringllng Bros.' circus when it comes here Monday, August 27, at Twenty-fifth and Raleigh streets. $15,000 DAMAGES SOUGHT Salesman Wants Recompense for Alleged False Arrest.
