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 a 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 II, 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 player OF vast
ly superior merit
But the average player will fail to
take a really keen interest in the
championship match at Forest Hills,
L. l., for the reason that he plays a
somewhat different game from that of
the McLoughlins, the Williamses and
the Johnstons. says Chicago Daily

Hushtt, Game Little Quarterback,
and Five Prospective Stars Lost
by Faculty RuIIngs-MauI-

Coach Fielding H. Yost has list of
some fifty big. strapping youngsters
in line for his 1915 University OF
Michigan football team-but whether
there are IL football players in the
bunch is a serious question.
Probably never in the history of
the famous coach's activities at Ann
Arbor has he had any more meager
and unsatisfactory knowledge of the
material at hand than ne has for his
1915 machine
Far be it from Coach Yost to allow
the wolf to howl at this early stage
of the game, but facts are facts. In
addition to losing such stars as
Hughitt, the game little quarterback
of the 1914 team, by graduation, "Hur-
ry-Up' has been deprived of FIVE of
his prospective 1915 stars by faculty
rulings,
The faculty has passed out the
word that because of scholastic de-
ticiencies Lyons and Traphagen, IN"
men, and Ewert, Johnny Dunn and
Brown of the freshmen eleven, will
not be eligible for the varsity.
It's pretty tough blow to learn
that five men you counted heavily
upon are not eligible" said Coach
Yost
Il have a long list OF men who will
be given invitations to try for the

"Oh, Pamela" whispered Elizabeth

But Pamela shook her head very
positively.
She was entirely in the dark as to
the identity Of Arthur Eustace Hen

man acquaintance in the city, and was
quite free from the usual entangle-
ments Of youth. Hardly more than a
child, her life had been hedged about
with peculiar carefulness. and until
this moment she had not met with the
tiniest whisper of romance.
It seemed like an age before she was
free to hasten to the shabby little
apartment, SO poor in its appoint.

atmosphere Of love.
Who Arthur Eustace Henderson was
indeed was a mystery. The Aldersons
were acquainted with few people in
