There is more than one bald-headed

is the fact that William "A, Larued,

Roosevelt The sage of Oyster Bay
was wont to pronounce tennis too
tame" ere he was initiated into IFS
subtle mysteries. Nowo it is his fav-
orite pastime and his closest init
mates are almoist all good players,
as witness the Tennis Cabinet" Of
his White House days.
Tennis is in literal truth an all
around game. Not only does it call
into play every muscle of the body
to an extent uneuualed by any other
exercise, unless it be rowing. but eN-
acts the nimblest brain work. To be
successful racketer a player must
think quickly as well as act quickly.
Continual vigilance is the price of
victory. and as though it were not
enough to exact strategy worthy a
military commander the tennis play
er who aspires to be really great must
develop an almost supernatural abil-
ity to anticipate the next play of his
opponent. Even if il be granted for
the sake of argument that tennis
court does not afford an onlooller the
satisfaction that is derived from n
baseball game or a polo match there
is the countsrbalancing virtue that il
offers far more zest for the individ-
ual participant. In all tennis Sing
les there is. of course, none of the
team work" which has reduced mod
ern baseball and football almost to
| the science of military maneuvers.
The tennis player is, in effect. master
+, of his own destiny. He must bear all
the responsibility for mistakes, but
on the other hand he has monopoly
of the fruits of victory.
In strenuosity, lawn tennis, out
ranks golf. cricket and all such
sports. Indeed there is no sport eX-
vept those of actually bodily contact
such as baking, wrestling and foot

i by an odd contradiction, tennis is

ment of personal danger which is
ever present in hockey, football, and

ranks in vigor. In tennis the player
is in no danger in coming in contact

sprained ankle. Finally the tennis

spect that Larned has perfected his
game SO marvelously. He is as bril-
liant as ever in his work on the ten

mgly brilliant and there is that sure
ness that bespeaks self-confidenCe.
In many an athletic field 1t is a
foregune conclusion that last years

With the opening at Newport. X.
J., on August 10 of the National
Championship Tournament, the eli
max was reached in one of the most
remarkable years in the history of
lawn tennis as a pastime. The events
decided under the auspices of the
Newport Tennis Club at the famed
courts at the Casino-mecca of
wealth and fashion-included the
National Championship in Singles,
the National Championship in Dou-
bles and the lnteTscholastic Singles
Championship. The supreme inter-
est, naturally concerned itself with
whether or not that marvel of the
tennis world, Mr. William \. Larned.
would be able to win the coveted title
of National Champion for the sixth
time or whether he would have to
give way before the onslaughts of
some of the younger players who
have lately been winning their spurs
in the game with energy and bril-
liancy.
The really exceptional interest
which this great blue ribbon event at
the Rhode Island resort only serves
to emphasize the constantly and rap
idly growing interest in tennis
throughout the entire length and
breadth of the United States. There
was a period some years ago when
lawn tennis enjoyed great vogue in
this country, far surprising golf and
all other outdoor pastimes in the
number of it's devotees' but this hey
day of popularity was succeeded by
an interval in which interest waned.
LGtteerly there has been a revival of
enthusiasm as remarkable as it is
unusual. Lawn tennis has proven
its ability to come back" in a man
ner emphasized by contrast with
bicycling and certain other once-fav-
ored pastimes that have obviously
had their day. Not only did tennis
have its day and is now having an
other day but the current revival bids
fair to carry ii farther than was the
case in the earlier era.
However, this permanent popular
ity of lawn tennis is founded on the
best of reasons. There has always
been tendency on the part of por-
tion of the public with no practical
tennis experience to regard the game
with sneer or a smiling indulgence
that betokened the same opinion
more politely expressed. They have
estimated its requirements and the
physical exercise it entails rather
lightly because it looks easy" 1t
is very much parallel case to the
many who regard hay fever as a
huge joke because they have never
been doomed to suffer from it. Every
man who has ever seriously tackled
tennis knows that it is very siren
uous sort of play. Probably there
could be no better illustration of how
opinion changes as the result of
closer acquaintance than is afforded
by the experience of eX-President

TEXARkANA ID
 PLAY LOCALS IS THE HOLDER OF THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE
 LAST YEAR.
Townsend Will Not Figure in the Game Because of a Woune He
 Received in Practice.

The crack team from the Tenar- kama high school will compete with the local team Friday and Saturday evenings at the Bijou skating rink in the championship race of the state Last year when the schedule had been played off and tournament was play ed to decide the championship of the state 1t was awarded to Texarkana.
 The Texarkana team is considered one of the fastest in the state, and is brought here with much added ex- pense on the part of the management of the rink.
 The Hot Springs team has high record. having been defeated by only two teams in the state. They are Crossett and Little Rock high schools. Return dates are scheduled with tine Little Rock team and as the Hot Springs high school still has chance for the championship, they are putting forth every effort to win every game before the close of the schedule, which will probably wind up in a tournament being played among the leading teams.
 The lineup of the local team is somewhat changed from the way they have been playing in the past. Sauls will play forward, assisted by Led gerwood, and Posey will play center. North and Johnson will figure in the role as guards, Townsend being un- able to play because of a bad eye he received in practice the first of the week.
