YOUNG TRAMP FOUND
DEAD ON THE RAILROAD,
About tbe coolest beaded player In the
tournament Is Mam Williams. Apparently
he has no chance against a crack player,
and yet be mows them down one after
another. Ills knowledge of the game ami
bla refusal to know when he la tx>atcii
combine In making him a hard man to cou-
qner.
Reuben Hunt, the University of Michigan
player, will be a hard one to beat out of
the cup. He la a man of great height,
and be poeacaoos a wonderful reach. In
■Ingles, be gets right In the middle of tbe
court, and It la almo'.t Imp»««if,ti> to pm*
him, and It la aolclde to try a lob. Ills
