TENNIS
CRACKS COMING
WRIGHT, NILES AND JOHNSON
TO PLAY HERE
ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT IS
TO BE ARRANGED
George Wright, Father of Famous
Racquet Experts, Promises That
His Son Irving and Other Down
casters VIII Come

An item of great Importance to the
mia is that George Wright. father of
Beals and Irving Wright of eastern
tennis fame, and senior member of the
sporting goods firm of Wright & Ditson
company at Boston, has arranged to
have the three eastern players, who at
present are at the Del Monte tourna-
ment, visit Southern California after
the close of the Pacific states cham
pionship tourney.
1t is the intention of the veteran
player to induce these men to come
south and play in matches with south
ern players. They are Irving C. Wright,
who ranks as ninth best player in the
United States; Niles, and johnson.
Although Niles ranks only fifteenth
best player In the country last year, he
has been steadily improving and at the
present time is recognized factor In
events among the younger tennis play
ers of the east. These players will play
a round robin with the local players
and end with an elimination play which
will pit the visitors against the best
players in Southern California and al
low each an opportunity to note the
ability of the other as a tennis expert.
Accompanying the players on their
visit to Southern California will be
Clarence Hobart who ranks as sixth
best player in the United States and
who for the past few weeks has been
on the coast Hobart also is at Del
Monte.
Although George Wright believes that
the eastern players will be somewhat
handicapped by playing on tennis
nP a Hiffaranf 10finva than
what they have, been accustomed to
playing on the past season, he does not
regard 1t as serious as many local
players believe 1t to be. Referring to
the time when his son, irving. and
Clarence Hobart were defeated on dirt
courts at Mexico City. he said: TT
was not so much the newness of the
courts which bothered the players at
that time as 1t was the powerful light
which is peculiar to that part of the
world"
George Wright arrived in Los Ange-
les nearly two weeks ago. While in
Los Angeles he was the guest of 3. II.
Dyas of the sporting goods house of
Dyas-Cline company. With Dyas he
visited the tennis courts at Long Beach
where the recent Southern California
tennis tournament was pulled off. He
was delighted with the elaborateness OF
the courts and marveled at the advance
that had been made in tennis in South
ern California in the past few years.
He was the guest of Miss May Sutton
at her Pasadena home. and later he
was the guest of honor at a private
dinner which was given him by many
of the local tennis enthusiasts who ap-
preciate the position George Wright
holds in the tennis world. He is par
ticular friends of the retired veteran
tennis player Archibald C. Way. and
in speech and looks greatly resembles
the local PLAYER.

SEX EPIGRAMS

Any woman can marry any man she

When clever women realize that they

self 1t amounts to nothing--except as
material for poets.
There is a sort of highly-bred wo-
man who has all the secret fear and
antagonism OF her sex for the other,
a profound resentment of the male in
stinct for possession, and the deeper
terror that what the man may find
will make her wholly his.
Life is packed with little unheard-
of dramas of the eternal duet of sex;
nothing else keeps 1t going.
A woman incapable of passion is
neither more nor less than a failure.
From the beginning of time the mis-
cry of the world has been caused by
the superstition that love is all.
Love is the furious determination of
the sex to persist
Real happiness may lie in forgetting
that love is selfish.
If one can be happy without love,
why run the risks?
Free love and experimental matri-
mony are mere excuses for a sort of
sensuality that is shallow and incon-

The thought of marriage leaves some
women reseltful of bondage-of the

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS.
Nv Prof Nathanie

by ETOI. NaLnan1el SCln1QL.
| The gospel of Jesus turns around two
focal points, the kingdom of heaven and
the father in heaven. The reign Of God
on earth, in Its full manifestation, lies
in the future, though as a latent force
it is already here, like the seed IN the
ground, the leayen is the lump. 1t will
manifest itself In a new social order,
characterized by higher type of right
the Pharlsees.
In the new society there will be no
killing Of enemies, no law of retalia-
ton, no divorce, no accumulation of pri-
vate wealth, no compulsory support OF
religion, no public prayer, fasting or
aims giving. There will be no salvation
by magic or substitute, by sacrifice or
sacrament, by formulas or professions
Of faith, but only by obedience to the
moral law, by trust, sympathy, right
eousness and love. And the prepara-
ton for this new society consists In a
change Of the inner disposition and in
the manner of life in conformity to the
law Of Righteousness, the new and high
er ideal. This Is the gospel Of Jesus,
this His conception of redemption.
The church substituted for His gospel
the gospel concerning His personality,
and made Him the way instead Of fol-
lowing In His path. 1t sought redemp.
ton from sin, satan and hell through
His personality. His atoning death, the
appropriation of His grace IN the sac
raments, the mystic union with Him.
The gospel Of Jesus is worthy Of all
consideration. 1t Is full of rich sugGes-
lions for the Improvement of private
and public morality. 1t is worth the
while TO reintecpret the thought Of the
Prophet Of Nazareth from age to age
But the church Is right in emphasizing
the worth Of His personality above that
Of His words and deeds. It is through
what He was that lie exercises. HIS
subtlest and strongest influence. Only,
1t Is more important to catch the breath
Of His spirit than to define His being
In the ternlnology Of the creeds or Of
the historian.
We do not seek redemption. from the
devil or the ever-faming he'll. but from
the moral imperfections Of our life. And
we find this redemption partly through
our own efforts to overcome evil within
and without
