Tongues were flapping fast in Indianapolis tennis circles today as a result of an announcement made by rellaule parties that "Egg” Hennessey, Indianapolis city champion, and The Bewhiskered Flash from parts unknown, have accepted the challenge of “hole” Middlesworth and Cyclone Willie, for n three-best-out-of-fivc set tennis match on the Indianapolis Tennis association courts Saturday afternoon. The match is to decide whether or not Mlddleswortto and Cyclone Willie knew their oil whdn they challenged the famous combination. The committee in charge of the event has granted the request of Charles I*. Trask to referee. Guy Dixon. Indiana boys champion; Julius Sagalowskv and "Hank” Stevens will "chase" stray balls. Hennessey, Cyclone WiUie and Mid dlesworth are said to be getting iu con ditioti for the fray by daily billiard games at Cooler’s parlors, while Be whiskered Flash is going to bed early every night and resting on his laurels. Each spectator will be set back a small sum on entering the gate, the entire proceeds to go toward furnishing refreshments for the players and fans and to pay the traveling expenses of several out-of-town enthusiasts who are coming for the big battle. Refreshments will be served at the pump after each game. Ladies, unaccompanied, will he nd mitted free, but when spending tbe afternoon In company with a mere man, they will be forced to pay twice that amount. Under the terms agreed upon, Hennessey will be barred from play if he makes more than nine-tenths of his teainis points, unless he is given special permission by Referee Trask. Don't fail to lie there when you think it Is time for the match to start, as it may end in a rush.

He seemed to play easier Saturday than in any other big match he has had, yet his game was well nigh perfect. It. was Impossible for Starbuck to pass him at the net. and when he retired to the base line for brief rests hta playing at that position was so much ltetter than It has been on previous occasions some fans believed lie was playing a littl above hts head. Hnf this talk didn’t go among Johnny's followers: they were firm In their belief that he was simply "right” and they are backing him heavily to play this sort of game a F* Wayne and come through the tri-state ivith flying colors.

W hite Says Shamrock Has No Chance of Lifting Cup Under Present Conditions By FRANCIS J. WHITE. SANDY HOOK, N. J„ July 19.—1f the In:crnational yacht race is to be continued and the opportunity of taking the coveted enp back to England be made a possibility, existing rules that govern it must be subjected to a good deal of revision. •Saturday's exhibition as I saw it from h thousand feet elevation, was a disappointment and while the wind was responsible, the fact that a boat that re reived seven minutes handicap, led at the finish by 34, shows a condition of affairs that calls for remedy. One thing certain is that Shamrock will never win a race In these waters until the blow Is sufficiently strong to put her Ice rail under water and keep it there while on the wind. And that la tbe weather her crew, halliug from the east coast, of England, Is at home in when on the stormy waters of the North sea.Uapt.

"Capt-Burton and the same crew that has sailed the Shamrock so far.” Si* Thomis stated aboard his steam yacht Victoria, "will remain in charge of her and will be at their stations tomorrow.” The Irish baronet refused to commit himself regarding the apparently well founded report that a change was contemplated.
