the other day that music produces de-

lected to tell us how to educate our

go about with ignorant noses for some
time to come Nor did he tell us how to
distinguish the odor of the hurdy- -gurdN

TENNIS CONTESTS BETWEEN
JAY GOULD AND COVEY MOST
UNIQUE OF 1914 MATCHES
Unusual for Amateur and Professional to Meet for World
Championship Interest in Contests Rapidly Increas-
ing Both in America and in England

New York, January lin the long list
of international athletic contests sched-
uled for the present year none stands out
with the peculiar uniqueness of the court
tennis contests between Jay Gould of the
United States and G. r. CoVey of Eng
land. This match, which will be played
in Philadelphia in March, brings together
the American amateur champion and the
worlds professional title holder. That an
amateur and professional should meet
for a worlds championship is unusual, but
the fact that Jay Gould is member of
a family famous for its wealth, deprives
this meeting with the professional of sim
lister reflection on amateur status.
Although the final details of the match
are not settled, interest in the contest is
rapidly increasing both in this country
and England. This is particularly true i'll
English amateur sport circles, where
court tennis is in gerat vogue. The out
come is awaited with great interest not
only because of the remarkable playing
ability of both Gould and Covey, but be-
cause it is the first time a championship
match ever has been arranged between
an amateur and professional.
w Ill 10 I1IfllI
1t is understood the match will be the
best of Is sets and that American balls
will be used. There is little variation be-
tween English and American courts, but
the balls differ considerably. 1t is be-
lieved that Covey will arrive a full month
before the match to accustom himself
with the balls and the court upon which
the match will be played. Covey is 81
years old, the best age, according to ex-
perts for the game. He learned court
tennis at Princes club In March, 1901
he went as professional to Mr.. Lytton.
British amateur champion, at crabbet|
park, when the court WAS established
there. In 1912 Covey gained the champion
ship by defeating Punch Fairs.
The American amateur, who is. about
live years younger than Coyey, has for
some seasons stood out as the leading eX-
2onent of court tennis in this country.
According to the English method of hand
icapping. the average professional is
considered Is better than the leading am
ateur. Gould was rated at half OF 10 in
1905, when he won the English amateur
championship from Mr.. Miles, 1t is gem
orally conceded abroad that he must have
improved his game considerably since that
time. Judging from his play in the Amer
lean championships this opinion appears
borne out.
