THREE REACH SEM1-FINAL

Arthur NJ. Lovibond. DIR. william Rosen-
baum and b NJ. Phillips reached the semi
hnal round as result of yesterdays
play In the national indoor lawn tennis
championship tournament at the Seventh
Regiment Armory. Although all Of the
successful competitors moved into the
semi-finals by straight set victories the
play was fast and exciting.
I<ovibond made his advance at the ex-
pense Of A. y. Cragin, much to the sur
prise OF many, for IL was Cragin who
recently eliminated wyIie c. Grant. one OF
the favorites, and this victory stamped
him as real contender. Lovibond's sue
cess was due mainly to the fact that he
got on to better start. He played whirl-
wind tennis In the opening set, shown
speed and accuracy. He finished the
opener with N to score and started
the second well. Cragin saw the match
slipping from him without much OF a
and made Lovbond fight every inch OF the
way. His sprint. however, was started a
little too late and although he forced the
set to deuce twice he could not hold the
pace and fell by the wayside. s--s

This style OF play seemed to bother Cush-
man In the early games, for his returns
were weak and uncertain. Usually his
EFFORT resulted in a puny pop up which
furnished AN easy kill for Rosenbaum.
Al the games progressed Cushman became
more accustomed to this style Of play
and made "A better showing. Whenever he
appeared TO be getting dangerous, how

WEST REsENTs wArsors ACT.
Predicting Choice Of Eastera Cosrse
Censurea--"staekea Casas'' Charge.

Censured--"staekeA Cards" Charge.
The sharpest kind Of criticism OF the
present officials Of the United states Golf
Association appears in an editorial article
published In the latest number of the
GOLFERS Md0aEtNe, the leading golf mag
axine In the West.
Most Of the criticism is inspired by the
new system OF awarding the national
championships, which does not allow the
delegates at the annual U. s. q. A. meet
ing to vote for courses other than those
recommended by the executive committee
Of the national association, and the freex-
ing out OF the Homewood Country Club
as n result OF the new rule when the big
Chicago club was kept OF the list for the
amateur championship at the meeting last
month. Terms such as stacked cards,
oligarchy. frameup, Grass stupidity and
false" are sprinkled through the article.
Tho charge Ia made that positive In
structions from the clubs which they rep
resented were violated by U. 9. u. A. Of
fcers who had proxies to vote at the
meeting. and II 10 declared that no right
minded golfer can accept the selection Of
courses presented to the meeting by the
executive committee as either good or
made with honest intent.
X. &. Watson, the president of the Y. s.
q. A., Is censured because he predicted the
selection OF Ekwanok for the amateur
championship the day before the meeting
was held. and suggested that the delegates
would not bend the event West because
Of the probability that British visitors
would prefer to play in the East.
Three or four years ago n break be-
tween the golfers Of the West and the
L. \. q. A. was patched up by the election
Of Silas w. Strswn of Chicago as presi-
dent Of the national body. The article in
Inmates that similar trouble Is in store.

WORDY STORM RACES AS
FORFEIT Is 0VERRULED
Byant Ordered to Play Boys
Hurdler Rood Disqualified
and Clinton Loses Title.

Frank l. Dlehi. 'ehairrrsn OF the bas-
ketball committee Of the high schools
games committee. was overruled In his
decision awarding the semi final basket
ball game between Bryant and Boys
High schools to the former. at stormy
meeting yesterday OF the high schools
games committee in the Board Of Educz-
ton building. Before the meeting was
ended several members OF the committee
left In an unpleasant frame OF mind.
Bryant objected to playing at Boys Highs
meet last Saturday. saying the crowd
would be In favor OF boys High Prin-
cipsl Andrews OF Boys High then an
nounced that he would reserve one sec
ton OF the armory for Bryant, but
objection was raised again. II was
claimed that two OF the team lived In
whitestone. L. l.. and It would be I'M
possible for them to be present. Boys
High then announced that it would pay
all expenses and hotel bills for the play
ers. but no agreement was reached.
In a letter to THE SUN Chairman Diehl
stated that each school asked him to
select the time and place for the game.
He did so. naming the Forty-seventh Reg
iment Armory. Brooklyn. at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. Boys High would not
play and AS result Mr.. Diehi awarded
the game TO Bryant.
After everything Chairman Diehl II was
decided that the game should be played
either Friday or Saturday. the winner TO
meet De witt Clinton. the Manhattan
champions. February 20 on the c. c.
p. Y. court.
Another thing Of Importance that came
up at the meeting was the disqualified
ton OF Harry r. Rood Of De Witt Gin
ton. Rood won the 100 yard high hurdle
event at the high school championships In
Brooklyn on Saturday. January FL He
was declared TO be ineligible a. the re-
suit Of his competing in an unsanctioned
meet held at Travers Island under the
auspices of the New York Athletic CLUB
In June, 1913.
As the result Of his being declared In
eligible De Witt Clinton was forced TO
reiinquish its hold on the championship
point trophy. The latter was awarded to
Stuyvesant. with a total OF 20 points.
Billy Walsh of Commercial got the hurdle
championship In Rood's place.
When Rood was dethroned as the 100
yard high hurdle champion Or. Wright
OF Clinton strongly denounced the high
schools games committee and left the
meeting. The action OF the committee IN
declaring Rood ineligible seemed drastic
to other members Of the committee also
II was claimed that his case should have
come up before and not have been KEEP,
until eight months later for action.
Should Bryant win the basketball titls

tests a. TO the eligibility Of two Of ths
team members. II IL rumored that Jet

that sets one thinking:
In a study of the past II Is
convenient to have some definite
point from which to date. To
the original settlers on these
shores Noahs flood was a very
real catastrophe, in which every
thing on the earth was washed
clean; and, by reference to the
Bibles of so years ago, one may
learn that this flood occurred
2,S49 years before Christ. To our
forefathers the time that had
elapsed since the flood was a long
period to contemplate; but now
adays we are Contented to look
upon the $4,000 years, more or
less, since the last glacier left
these shores as a mere moment of
time in the great past.

1T is well that this love OF the

Probably our grandmothers
were Just as anxious to get mar
ried as any girl is now. but they
had the gumption to affect a coy
and reluctant attitude. and be-
cause man believed that 1t was
difficult TO capture the citadel of
maiden's affection, he wooed her
with fire, and passion, and energy.
Because she appeared indiffer-
ent to his visits, ne kept the path
to her door hot with footsteps.
Because the most that he hoped
to win from her hand in the shape
of a letter was line or two Of
sweet. copy book, maidenly reply
to his numerous missives, he
weighted down the mails with
burning love letters.
How is 1t now? The modern
girl has left him in no doubt as to
the state of her affections. She'll

whenever he asks her. so he feels
that any old love-making will do.

The Secret Is to Make
Courtship Difficult,
Not Easy, as Now.

Women were never as attract
i've and desirable as they are to-
day. Not even among the an
cient Greeks was the percentage
of female pulchritude so high as
ii is now. The cult of the body
has become almost religion
among women. So if a man seeks
for beauty in wife he may shut
his eyes, and make a grab in the
dark in any group Of girls, and
be sure of getting one who in his
grandmother's time would have
had all the poets writing sonnets
10 her eyebrows. and all the
beauX fighting duels for her
smiles.
Women are also more intelh-
gent than they ever were before.

her attractions and accomplish
ments the modern girl lacks one
art In which her grandmother ex-
celled-the art of catching hus-
band.
And the secret of this art was
the art of allure-of tolling man
oalong-in a word, of making
courtship difficult instead of too
easy, as it is now.
The chief reason that men
show a disinclination to marry
may be largely accounted for by
the freedom OF companionship
that prevails between the sexes.
In the olden times when the only
way man could enjoy a wom-
ans society was by marrying her,
he was in rush to hustle with
her TO the altar.
But when custom permits him
TO monopolize q woman's even
iags; when they may spend long
Gays together on the golf links;
when they may attend theaters
and parties together, and tea and
dine In company unchaperoned in
restaurants the man is in no hur-
~ to wed. He has as much of
the lady's society as he desires
without the necessity OF assuming
her bills, or giving her a right to
lecture him.
The long engagement is mod
ern invention of mans, not wom-
ans, and 1t is a handicap that our
grandmothers never knew Moth
ing that the new status OF woman
has brought her is so delightful
as platonic friendship with man,
but we get nothing in this world
without paying for it, and the
price that women pay for COM
radeship with men is too often
spinsterhood. When it was a case
of either lover or nothing, 1t was
generally lover.
Another reason why men are
less eager about marrying now

The Spirit of
Cromwell
BY REV. T. B. GREGORY.

T>WO hundred and fifty three
years ago the MERRY Mon
arch" Charles the Second,
and his associates, dug up the
body of oliver Cromwell, along
with those Of Ireton. Bradshaw
the old Protectors wife and
daughters.
They were celebrating the ami
versary of the execution OF the
first Charles, and, nothing would
do but they must include, as a
part of their program, indignities
to the ashes of those who had
spoiled their game Of klngcraft
and inaugurated the liberty which
is to-day the glory of the British
Empire.
The bodies of Cromwell, Ireton
and Bradshaw were torn out OF
their graves in Westminster AD-
hey, dragged TO Tyburn, hanged
there on a gibbet all day long, and
then beheaded. Cromwelrs head
was set up on a pole, and those
who would not have dared to look
the grand old Protector in the
face while he was alive, looked AT
the head, TESTED, cursed, and hao
a great time generally.
After Cutting themselves with
abuse and ribaldry. the brave
minions of the Merry Monarch
gathered up the honored remains
along with the bodies Of Johh
Ppm and the gallant old Admiral
Blake, and threw them into pit
that had been dug for them III

What fools they were TO thlHSs

than they used to be is that
women are too willing. Many
things change. but human nature
never changes and the primitive
instinct in man is for the chase.
The harder a thing is to get the

He Can Have Woman s

Why Marry?

In a word, they made court
ship romantic and difficult, and
in consequence there were many
Opponents, Now. however, be-
cause we have made courtship too
easy, there is little of it, 1t is
because nowadays a man may
have a woman's society without
mourning any responsibilities
that he ducks the wedding ring.
If women want to promote matri-
mony, they have got, in gamblers
phrase, to make men either put
up or shut up.
