The first of a series of special tennis matches for the benefit of the American Red Cross fund will be played here Saturday under the auspices of the National Tennis Asso ciation. The singles will bring togeth er Clifton B. Herd, of California, and Harold Throckmorton, of Elizabeth N J., while George M. Church and Dean Mathey will oppose Karl H. Behr and T. R. Pell. Two of the players, Throck morton and Church have recent return ed from a series of competitions in the Orient, j Burt Hudson, once considered the """"i" middleweight wrestler of th eoutn, will uncork his wares before a Wilmington crowd for the first time to morrow night. He will have for his op ponent one Ed Aberg, recently noted in. this vicinity .because of his activi ties against a Mr. Hanson, on a squared circle in Woolvin Hall. The only line that can be secured on the two men as regards their resnfrtivA merits is by comparing their rcspec- uvC rowings against Fritz Hanson. Fritz licked both of. the pair, taking Hudson, into camp in Columbia, two iaus to tnree, and scalping Aberg in vvnmington by-the whitewash rnnto It might be mentioned here also that ucrg lussiea with Fritz for a good while one night without; either man winning a clean fall, the local man winning on a toui. Judging bv "' . luoKs iiKe it is, Aberg to win tomorrow, but then we must consider that Hudson succeeded, in winning one fall from Fritz while Abere- fnii.ri do this much. Therefore, it looks like a battle where both men are evenly matched, and one that should furnish all the fireworks necessary to insure a cracking battle. Hanson went to Sumter Mondnv night, supposedly to meet an unknown wrestler, but found on arriving that John Kilonis was to be his opponent. ononis won tne nrst fall and Fritz th. second, the Greek repeatedly fouling in the final, and Hanson Anally winning puwic.uy committee, in behalf of the directors of the society, expressed great appreciation of the typographical ar rangement in Sunday's Star of the lis of block messengers, which has aided" very materially 'in organizing this bene ficient work by enabling any member of the society to see at a glance to whom to make her report.

It is the purpose of the organization to have every person in the city, who will join in the movement, contribute a pen ny a oay, or more lr tney can, for re lief work. The practical unanimity of the. block messengers of the society, . who will have charg-e of the collecting the pennies,- has been most encouraging as the fact that almost without exception those who have registered in the civic register for voluntary service. hav promised to co-operate and have pledg ed their support of the i movement which extends from the most northern portion of the city to the utmost south.! ern portion and from the Cape Fear riv er to Seagate. The gift of a penny ;a day by 1,700 women, who have registered for vol untary service is the logical outcome of the promise made by these lad i who offered to do whatever they could in tne event or a xsatlonal emerirencv such as now exists. .- The public will watch with intern the results , of the first week's wort which will be: reported at the regular meeting of the society . next Wednes day.
