Tennis Stars In
Gibralter Prison

News OF the militant fate Of the
many prominent athletic stars with
European home addresses Is slowly
sitting through the censors to this
country. John Reed, war correspon-
dent for the Metropolitan magazine.
tells what happened to Froitzhein
and Kreuzer, the German Davis ten
mis- cup contenders. According to
Reed, they were taken on an Italian
liner. bound from New York to Ma
pies, during the early days Of the war,
and were imprisoned by the English
at Gibraltar.
Reed tells a rather amusing story
OF the boarding Of the Italian ship
and the capturing of the German re-
servists on board by the British
boarding party, none OF whom could
speak the Teutonic language. Tne
names OF the Germans were being
called from the passenger list. When
the tennis stars turn came, the an
nouncer called "Crooser!"
"He means Kreuzer." translated
some one, and the tennis player ap-
preached.
"Pack your gear" he was ordered.
Meanwhile the first oficer seemed
to be arduously celebrating about
something. Then he broke into hearty
laughter and turned to the announcer.
"Oh, I say, another German "cruis-
err captured by the British navy,
he guffawed, After proper lapse OF
time IL soaked IN and all the British
ers joined In the merriment.
