HIS LITERARY GEM

l. l.
Robert w. Chambers tells a story
about a friend of his who is an au-
thor.
This young novelist, relates Mr..
Chambers, had pretty hard time of
it at first, and so had his young wife.
Money was scarce and the stories
he wrote did not sell. The wife had
but little respect for his talents, and
kept endeavoTing to coax him to try
something else whereby he could
make enough money for their sup
port.
Zone day, however, his luck chang
ed and he began to make money. The
time soon arrived when he was able
to write a check for 500 and pre-
sent it to his wife as a gift.
"She looked at it and her eyes filed
with tears.
What is the trouble?' the hus-
band asked in surprise.
Darling she said as she hasten
ed around the table and put her arms
around his neck. III take back all
the mean things 1 ever said about
your writing. This is the best thing
you ever wrote "-Lippincott's.

Committee Wants Behr, But Nc.
LoughIin Holds Out for
Bundy as His Partner.

On the eve Of the Davis Cup matches
there is dissension in the American
camp. Sides have been taken as to
the players who should be named for
the double team, Keri II. Behr mus
tering a host of supporters. while
Thomas c. Bundy has only a few Cali
fornians- But among Bundy's advo-
Gates is Maurice z. Mclaughlin, who Is
sure to be the wheel-horse of the dou-
bles pair irrespective of whom the COM
mittee may select
A majority of the critics, experts
and professionals agree that since his
arrival in this section OF the country
Bundy has been playing sluggishly and
with little or no show of form. While
they admit that Behr is somewhat err
rratic. STILL he has sufficient of the
smashing game with plenty of the daz-
zling unexpectedness of Mclaughlin to
keep the Australasians guessing.
The words freight car and "ele-
phantine' have recently been applied
to the sort of tennis that Bundy has
played. while Behr has fought to the
limit and displayed the topmost flights
Of energy.
Not a member Of the committee
Robert D. Wrenn. George T. Adee or
Julian s. Myrick-w!N officially say
word as to the doubles selections
The fact has leaked, however. that
the committee wants Behr, while Nc
Loughlin stands out against the wishes
OF those in authority and has the COM
mittee in an embarrassing position. As
the matches stand. the committee
frankly confesses that the doubles is
a most important contest to win. as 1t
Is likely to be the match that will turn
the balance in the Americans favor, as
1t did last year.

Stallings' Shoe Was
Good Fit for Quintet

George Stallings, manager Of the
Braves, is famed for having a inarr
tongue. but he plays no favorites and
fires his broadsides without discrimi-
nation. Almost every man on the team
has been called at some time or an
other.
In a recent game it became evident
that a pinch hitter might be needed in
the ninth inning. Three balls had been
called against Hank Gowdy, the
catcher. and Stallings remarked: IF
Gowdy gets on guess I'll let old ivory
head take a crack"
Ball four" shouted the umpire, and
before Stallings could name his pinch
hitter five of the Braves. each armed
with a bat. were marching toward the
