V * o TENNIS TITLE GOES TOJOHNLONGWORTH . ■ •) Cedarhuret Man Wins Spirited Mateb With Harrison Wright of Rockville Centre II WAS ALLOWED A BIG HANDICAP THE POST: FREEPORT, N. WEDNESDAY, JUl^Y 29 , 1914 ■ THE NEW YORK WOMAN'S i ---- — I. ' Freeport Players Retired Early in Tournament — Doubles Contest Scheduled for Saturday John Longworth, the crack Cedar- hurst tennis player. Is the undisputed champion of the Bayvlew Tennis Club. He won the title on Saturday from Harrison B. Wright of Rockville Cen tre on Saturday In two out of three sets, the scores being 6—4, 6—3; 6—3. Wright won the seml-flnal round from McCbesney of Freeport. While ongworth’s ability as a weild- er of the tennis raeguet Is generally conceded by those who competed In the tournament, the opinion prevails that bis success was due in no sm all degree to the large handicap which was allowed to him. Clyde Wallace, recognized as the best all around player In the tiayview ctun, allowed Longworth fifteen points, loosing the match with Longworth by a small margin. In subsequent games, how ever, he has defeated the Cedarhurst man In several love sets, and has dis played remarkable form in all games In which he has engaged. The championship in which Long- worth won the coveted cnampionshlp and silver cup, was probably one of the most Interesting matches that has been played on the courts this year, more especially because the contest ants were t>oth outsiders. Longworth in the elimination matches defeated the best players in Freeport and Wright, a Rockville Centre man eas ily put others out of the running. Throughout the closing games the two men matched courage and speed at tennis from every possible angle, Long worth was not pressed except In a few instances during the set. He won primarily through his retu rn drives, which Wright almost invaria bly found difficulty in returning. Wright played a particularly care ful game. His double errors w e re few and his \aces\ many. At no tim e during the game did he become ra t tle headed or play recklessly. The doubles cEtamplonships will doubtless t>e decided on Saturday or on Sunday, and it is probably th a t a Freeport team will win. Halpin and Root have already defeated W . W right and H. Wright and F. Tldden and W. Thompson have to their credit the de feat of Wallace and Dow, so that the closing matches must be played be tween local teams. A large week-end audience Is ex pected to be present at th final games. CALENDAR OF PROGRESS 1800—No married woman In the state could hold any property or make a will. NO woman could go to college. No woman could enter any trade, In ti ne try or profession outside the home. 1821—The first female seminary was opened at Troy by Bmma Willard. That a girl should study Latin or geometry was considered ridiculous. 1 1848—New York first gave married women the right to hold and control their Own property. The first convention to consider the rights of women was called at Seneca Falls by Lucretla Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Mary Ann McCIlntoek. 1840-The first womau to graduate In medicine took a degree from the med ical college in Geneva, N. Y. Her name wae Elina bet h Blackwell. She had been refused the right to study In ten different Colleges of Medicine. The people of Geneva thought her either wicked or Insane. She was not admitted to lodgings in New York city, where she began her praetke. be cause people thought she was not respectable, and so she was obliged te buy a house in which to hare an office. (Today there are 7.387 women physicians in the United States.) 3 ' A v “BIG STICK” B RESTORED TO ROOSEVELTS WOMEN Stolen in Dead of Winter, Follow ing Long Series of “Ruptiona\— Present From “Teddy” If there was ever a w a lking stick th a t caused \ruptiona\ it is the one pictured here. It is the fam ously carved cane that was presented to the Ladles Auxiliary of the Roosevelt Board of Trade by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt way back in 1912. and was to have been sold at auction at that time. But it wasn't No, indeed. On the contrary it remained a treasured possession of the ladles during two of the stormiest years that the village has ever known. Trouble followed trouble, the Board of Education got into a \Turrible” muss: there were dissentlons in fire departm e n t, and, in fact, the whole town Just w e n t to pieces, editorially speaking. Then Charles Edwards, who is known far and wide as a versi fier, sat down to tell in rhym e all about the condition of affairs In Roose velt. And then ------ Sh—sh ------ . T h e \Big Stick\ was stolen. In the dead of night some bold robber clim b ed up a ladder to the second* story window of the hom e of Edw a rd Vhe and took the stick from its hiding place. It was lost from sight for several m o n ths and j then found again, largely through the f efforts of two report o r la 1 H a w k shaw s connected with The N a ssau Post. The new spaper has been commended for J the w o rk of these two sleuths, and the trad e board gave expression to its appreciation in a vote of thanks. T h e re has been no trouble reported since the “Big Stick\ cam e back this last tim e H a s t i n g s and S p i n n e y Go Afishin Form e r State H istorian Hugh H a s tings, who for years was an Albany correspondent of the New York Tim es lias been visiting w ith his old friend George F Spiney, of Rockville C entre during the past several days.
