News. In essentials it is the same,
to be sure, but tournament players
who achieve national and information
al fame are so much faster in their
play, so much more accurate in their
strokes, SO much superior in all de.
partments, that they compare with the
average player as an up-to-date racing
yacht compares with fiat-bottomed
rowboat.
One who plays tennis at all cannot
but admire these highly organized
champions for their mastery of speed,
of stroke, of strategy. Few average
tennis players, however, will aspire to
these Olympian heights. Most of the
multitude of devotees of the game will
continue serenely on the course of
mediocrity, content in knowing that
their play tends to develop and main
tain good health and that it stimu-
lates quickness of vision and Of per-
ception, thus encouraging mental keen
ness and agility-always an asset in
whatever pursuit one may engage in.
For these and other excellent reasons
tennis will continue TO find growing
favor among lovers of healthful exer-
else.

In the defeat of Maurice E. Nc
Loughlin by William NJ Johnston in
the contest for the tennis champion
ship of the United States the average
person who essays this fascinating
game will be but mildly interested.
Such person will be impressed by
the facts that both players are Cali
fornians, that judging by results east
ern players this year were outclassed
by players from the Pacific coast and
that the victory of Johnston registers
what might be termed in sporting
parlance an upset; for, although Nc
Loughlin last year lost the champion
ship to r. Norris Williams III, his
marvellous playing has given him a
foremost position during the last few
tennis seasons, while Johnston, a
youth of twenty years, has not hither-
to been regarded as a player of vast
ly superior merit.
But the average player will fail to
take really keen interest in the
championship match at Forest Hills,
L. l., for the reason that he plays
somewhat different game from that OF
the MeLoughlins, the Williamses and
the Johnstons, says Chicago Daily

"a man may have the mobile and

ORCHIDS IN THE HOUSE
BY FRANK Il. SWEET.

~ FhfttNN H. 0W u
During my leisure hours in the
greenhouse | find no plants SO inter-
esting as the orchids. Each succeed
ing season is making this exquisite,
fantastic plant more popular with
commercial florists and private col
lectors who have greenhouses of their
own.
The increasing demand for the cut
flowers and the fact that, in spite of
popular belief, orchids are easily
grown and very little trouble, are
sufficient inducements for many en-
terprising growers to include them
among their plants.
But as yet the ordinary house grow
er has been unable to overcome her
fear of these beautiful, curious pro-
auctions of nature To her they are
something extremely delicate and fra
gile-something that an ordinary Whit
of air will shrivel and destroy. She
looks at them longingly on her rare
visits to the neighboring greenhouse,
but shakes her head when approached
on the subject of purchasing.
They are too tender, she declares,
with conclusive regret in her voice.
They would be out of place among
her window collection of sturdy car
nations and begonias and callas and
geraniums, and rarely do the persua-
sive arguments of the florist weaken
her deep-rooted belief.
