...semi-final round of the University Fall Tennis Tournament yesterday on Jarvis Field. Superior steadiness finally brought victory to E. T. Herndon 1G.B. over W. W. Ingraham '24 by the score of 2-6, 5-3, 8-6. The latter carried off the first set in handy fashion, but Herndon broke through and took the second. The third was distinguished by some of the most brilliant tennis the tournament has yet seen. Sweeping into the lead at the first the former interscholastic star had the match at 2-2, when Herndon's play suddenly stiffened. Five times the Freshman player...
...usual Leona Powers took the leading part. Her task was not especially difficult; no one in the cast had an opportunity to perform in startling fashion, although the acting was all that one could wish. Viola Roach appeared in the back ground in a very minor part, which we regretted. Frank Charlton and Mark Kent deserve credit for smooth performances, and the same should be said of Florence Roberts. The Boston Stock Company is undoubtedly capable of pleasing many audiences like that which enjoyed the opening of "the House of Glass...
...test of "The Hottentot," last evening, by good report of previous pieces, performance at the St. James escapes equally the usual shortcomings. Only one player in William Collier's whilom farce acted in conventional stock-company fashion--with half an eye and more on the audience, incessant play of mechanical gesture and glance, the air that says in fidgets: "You must look at me." Only one more suggested now and then the weary, wizened routine, the treadmill acting, that is the other pitfall of stock theatres. The rest came alertly, intelligently, to their parts, shaped them into such characters...
...first game in the Yale-Princeton series was played on June 4, and the Yale steam-roller flattened out the Tigers in a decisive fashion; the victory going to the Blue by the score of 4-0. Following this contest Yale downed Tufts 6-1, with Robinson's pitching the feature of the Blue play; Syracuse was out-smashed 13-6 in a slugging match; and Brown was nosed out last Wednesday 5-4 by ninth and tenth inning rallies, Aldrich bringing across the winning run in the extra session. Last Saturday, however, the Blue winning streak snapped. The Princeton...
...spotty; it may be threatened from time to time by political disturbances in Europe and other world influences. Nevertheless American business is throughly sound at heart. In this country there are one hundred and five million people, most of whom are living in an ordinary, normal fashion, and it is these one hundred and five million people who at the same time are consumers and laborers, merchants and producers. They must be fed, and clothed, and entertained. I am not at all pessimistic regarding the ability of the business men of this country to meet the conditions which they face...
