Well, here’s what we’re getting at —
We make the Blackstone of long-filler Havana.
That’s understood.
And the tips are all laid one way — toward the light

You can’t smoke both ends, you know —

ARROW TRANBY AND WILVENA C.
FIGHT THRILLING BATTLE IN
2,20 CLASS AT WATERVILLE
' ■» ■ ■ — V--1 “
| (Special to Kennebec Journal.)
Waterville, August. 2?.—The open- |
ing day of races at the Central
Maine fair gave the fans plenty of
excitement when Arrow Tranby took
three straight in the 2.20 pace, "in
ning each heat on the home stretch.
The little grey horse, driven by
Hastings, had the pole but dropped
behind for the first lap in each 1 eat.
As the horses came down the back
stretch of the second lap in the first
heat the grey gelding began to close
upon Don McKenney and Just as
they made the last curve. Arrow
Tranby forged ahead to victory.
The second heat started, and Pot
tle's horse took the lead. Don Me
Kenney and Arrow Tranby fought
for second place for the first lap and
a half and then, as before, the giey
hoy started after Wilvena C. Down
the final stretch they came with Pot
tle's mare leading but the other
horse was game and came under the
wire inches ahead of the bay mare
while the stands cheered and argued.
As Arrow was being led back to th“
stables the crowd again broke Into
cheering.
Again the pacers lined up for the
start, and again Arrow Tranby
dropped back into third place. Wil
vena C. was out to win this heat and
taking the pole she led the others
for several yards. A lap passed and
then a quarter more. Again the grey
horse began to pull away from the
bunch and close in on the leader.
The margin was big and they round
ed the last curve with Wilvena well
in the lead. Never using the whip
but just talking to Arrow, Hastings
urged him ahead and twenty yards
from the wire they were running
neck and neck. A final spurt and
Arrow Tranby’s nose passed under
the wire, scarcely a second later
Wilvena reached the finish.
The 2.IS trot furnished some ex
citement when the horses crowded
together on the first curve and Peggy
Peters went down for what looked
like a nasty spill, throwing her
driver. Day. All of the drivers but
Pottle cleared the wreck and after
stopping a moment. Pottle finished.
No harm was done except to crumple
np a sulky wheel. The judges gave
out a decision that it was an un
avoidable accident and Day "as
given last place in the heat. San
Verona did some fast, work, taking
first In the first two heats by a fairly
comfortable margin and came in
j second in the third, losing to The
' Ultimate. Sun Verona came back
in the fourth and again took first.
The race for two-year-olds and un
der brought out some likely looking
colts but the race was really be
tween Queen Q. and Dyspepsia Cure
Again. Dyspepsia led in the second
heat most of the way but broke on
the last lap lotting Quern win the
beat. Single Pipe Q. was unmam.g
able most of the time and trailed the
others.
The crowd appreciated the work
of Starter Pike who seemed to real
ize that tlie people wanted to use
their score cards and called off the
events and scores in a manner that
left no doubt.
The track was in excellent con
dition considering the recent weather
excepting for one or two places on
the back stretch. Much credit is
due A. I). Esty and his crew of men
who were at work early Tuesday
morning and as one of the judges
remarked after the races, ''That
track is certainly fast.”

YANKEE PLAYERS
GOME THROUGH IN
LONGWOOD MEET
Boston. Aug. 20.—(By A. P.)—The !
National championship in lawn ten
nis doubles remains in the United
States. The Australian invasion
which has as Its triple objective the
Davis Cup. the doubles title and the
singles championship was defeated in i
its secondary phase today when \V. j
T. Tildcn. 2nd, and Vincent Richards,
playing through titlists, turned nack
Gerald L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara
Wood antipodean stars, after losing
the first set. The scores were 4-6,
6-1, 6-3. 6-4.
The match which had a double
significance because of its bearing
on the doubles play in the forth
coming Davis Cup tourney for which
the contenders of today hare been
regarded as the probable nominees,
was marked by the irrestible team
effort of the Americans following
their opening set-back. Against the
rush of Tildcn's booming service,
Richards' smashing volleys, and their
complete court covering, the individ
ual effort of O'Hara Wood availed
little.
Patterson had an off day. One
of the greatest servers in the tennis
world, he lost as many service games
as he won. A player weak in back
hand play, he found himself the ob
ject of an attack that counted olten
against his team.
Tildcn attained another title to
day. also pairing with Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory to combine the
national title holders in men's and
women's singles as the national
mixed doubles champions. Their vic
tory over Miss Helen Wills and
Howard O. Kinsey, fellow Califor
nians, was accomplished without
great strain, 6-4, 6-3.
Of greater interest among the
spectator host, probably the largest
that has ever seen a tennis program
in this city, was the singles match
which Mrs. Mallory won from .Miss
Wills. The champion, who defended
her title successfully against the
girl recently at Forest Hills, N. V .
found her more difficult an opponent
today, and it was only after losing
the first set fo her and hairline de
cisions in the third that she won
out. 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. The final point
was played over under unusual cir
cumstances when after the crowd
| had roared and clapped its disap
, proval of a line umpire's decision .
which would have given victory to J
the champion, Mrs. Mallory turned |
to the stands, said the point would i
be replayed and served again to the '
girl who had won the partisanship '
of the gallery. Miss Wills netted
the ball and Mrs. Mallory's victory
was made complete.
Two other national championships (
wore decided. Arnold W Jones of J
Providence, R. I . succeeded to the j
national junior championship vacs- !
ted by Richards winning from Lewis !
X. White of Austin, Texas. 6-0, 6-C, i
6-1. Young Jones won 13 conse- j
entire games before White won his i
only one. Young David O'Loughlin !
of Pittsburg won the boys’ cham- j
pionship by defeating M. T. Hill, Jr., |
of Newton, 7-5, 6-3.

of the season. Cobb is to lie replaced
at third by Kelley of Portland, who ,
has been pla> ing fast semi-pro ball

The proposed mound battle t- day b< -
