Tribune Cup for

was attracted the attention Of the
strongest PLAYERS of the North Side
and last year the championship was
won by Arthur VI. Lovibond, the 18th
Regiment crack.
This time, with The Tribune cup ir
connection, there are certain to be
keen struggles for the honor of being
the first to gain a leg on the trophy
The same player must win the cup
three times, not necessarily in success.

tho inscription:
Tribune Challenge Cup.
North Side Championship;
University Heights Tennis Club.
New York City.
Singles.
The reverse side is reserved for the
names Of the winners each year.
ANY player in the land. be he a
Maurice Mclaughlin, n Richard Norris
Williams or the latest novice on the
courts, would be proud to add this
trophy to his list.
As soon as the fact is made known
that The Tribune Cup is the prize to
be competed for it is certain that a
record entry list is assured for the
coming tournament.
Some Of the club members have
started in already TO prime themselves
for the fray. One man has even gone
so far as TO take a trip across the con-
tinent for the express purpose OF
polishing up his game by competition
with the worlds greatest player,
Maurice Evans McLoughlin:
Last winter. when Franklin T. Adams,
member of the University Heights
Tennis Club. better known from coast
to coast as +. P. A., of The Tribune
and Coming Tower fame, announced
that he was going TO make the grand
tour TO California 10 take in the Pan
ama-Pacifc worlds fair, those who
knew him best smiled quietly and
wisely
They were not surprised later. when
Adams returned and climbed up to his
seat in the Coming Tower, 10 hear him
tell how he had played several sets
with Maury. Of the flaming hair. on the
sun baked courts of the Pacific Coast.
/. p. A. frankly admitted that Nc
Loughlin had given him hard fight;
in fact. he was even more generous IN
his praise. He declared that Mac had
actually outplayed him at times.
The man who defeated Brookes. the
great Victorian. and Wilding, the
mighty man Of New Zealand, in the
Davis Cup matches at the West Side
Tennis Club last August was willing 70
swan all the lawn tennis secrets he
knew for those possessed by Adams.
Consequently, both profted by, the in
terchange. and Adams is quietly conf
dent that a monumental surprise -
going to be sprung on the courts OF
the University Heights Tennis CLUB
next July. especially since Mclaughlin
has practically assured him mat he Will
not enter the tournament this year.
The cup will soon be placed on ex-
hibition, thus giving all who intend
entering the tournament for the North
Side championship an opportunity OF
seeing one of the handsomest trophies
ever offered in lawn tennis tourna-
ment in this city.

PROF. DEAN, WHO URGES A RETURN TO
 ARMOR, 48 TODAY

Prof Bashford Dean, who recently
 gained place in the international
 limelight by seriously urging the ad-
 vantages of armor for the soldiers
 of the present, will be forty gft
 years d2today. Prof. Dean is a na-
 tive of New York and has spent his
 whole life in that most modern of cities He is not. only the curator
 of arms and armor at the MetropoI-
 authority on the metallic garb of the
 mailed knights of the days of chfv- airy, but also a famous zoo1ogist, bi-
 ologist, icthyologist and educator. He is the author of many papers dealing
 with the natural history of fishes and
 oysters. as well as learned articles on armor, shields, helmets and arms. In, advocating a revival of arr1or for the warriors who are now fighting in the European trenches Prof Dean is not alone, for Sir A. Conan Doyle! and other prominent Englishmen have suggested that shields and metal headpieces might be used to advan- tage .n bayonet charges and hand .to-hand struggles. There can be no deuht,'' in the opinion of Prof. Dean. that a, single soldier properly arm ored would be the equal of many un- armored soldiers in trench warfare In discussing the history of armor, Prof. Dean declares that from the stone age onward armort never be- came extinct.'' He cites the cases in which arInor has been effectively us- cd by present-day outlaws and Asia tic soldiers .sIt is true" he admits, that the disuse of arTnor followed the invention of better grades of pow der. but it must, nevertheless. be re- membered that; during <tFe time ar nor was worn oftenest in Europe, gunpowder was in common use. Dur ing the latter half of the sixteenth century not only cannon but guns and pistols were seen everywhere. Ney- ertheless armor# continued to be us ed. It was in many eases the matter of expense which limited the wearing of armor; for in those days the cost of armor was high, very high. Ad- nnitting that a modern bullet would pierce arnor. if struck direct and at close range, Prof Dean points out that .sfts is not easy to hit a head piece or breastplate directly. on ac- count of its curved surface, and that the penetrating power of the ball is vastly less the further toward the,I side of the curved surface it strikes 7 While a majority of military men have been inclined to scoff at Prof. Deans proposal, it is admittedly pos sfbIe that armor might be useful in some departments of modern War-t fare. If Prof Deans theory should work out in practice, he would be the father of a great new infant indus

He started playing ball with St Louis school and trolley league clubs. and became a regular profes- sionaI in 1901 with the Evansville Three-I team. He had his first big league try-out in 1908 with the Pi- rates, but didn't get away with it. Artie was turned over to Des Moines by Pittsburgh, and in 1905 he joined the Chicago Cubs, and remained with them throughout the period of their glory. In 1912 he was traded to the Pirates, and in 1914 he joined the Brooklyn club of the Federal league. The veteran couldn't get along with Lee Magee, and was swapped to Buff faIo this year.

SQUIRE EBBETS A HAPPY MAN ON THIS,
 HIS 56th BIRTHDAY

Charles H. Ebbets, the celebrated
 Brooklyn baseball. magnate will ceIe-
 brate his fifty-sixth birthday today
 If there is anything the owner of the Robins likes toido more than another 1t is to celebrate, and it is a blooTnin' shame that his natal day comes after the close of the- baseball season. 9th erVvise, the Squire would probably stage a tripIe-header, with brass band trimmings, in observance of the day. There has been a great deal of spec ulation concerning Col. Ebbets's mid de name. some insisting that 1t stands for tHoliday," while others hold that 'tis Hercules. This year the "H-" is for Happy for General Eb- bets is the owner of a first dtvisio on club for the first, time in thirteen dreary years. Major Ebbets became president of the Brooklyn Nationals back in 1898, succeeding Charles H. Byrne, who had headed the Superbas since they entered the circuit in 1890. That year the club finished tenth and Judge Ebbets himself tried his hand at managing after Bill Barnie and Mike Griffin had failed to make the Brooklynites produce the goods For the next season Capt. Ebbets hir- ed Foxy Ed" Han1on to pilot his club, and Ed landed the Superbas out in front, and repatd again in 1900 The Superbas finished third and sec ond, respectively, iii 1901 and 1902 Then they began to slide toward the cellar, and iii the last year of Han Ions management, which was 1905, they finished in the basement. F. J. Donovan-the same Pat who cap. tured the Internati onaI7 league .bunt- ing for Buffalo this year-then took the helm, but he couldn't get the Pennant Dodgers out of the second di- vision Donovan's regime lasted three annums, and in 1909 he was succeeded by Harry Lum1ey.< In 1910 Admiral Ebbets secured Bad Bill Dah-s len from Boston i'd put him in charge. The Dodgers trailed along in the second division, and all of Bad Bill's efforts for more than three years couldn't get any pep into the veins of the Dodgers. In 1913 Will bert Robinson was hired for the job, and in the 1914 campaign he finish ed fifth which was a slight improve ment. The great rage of the Robins this year is still fresh in the memory of the fans. Although Commodore Ebbets did not quite realize his ann bition of having a pennant-raising celebration at Ebbets Field, he is fill ed with joy at the prospects for 1916 Next year the Robins are going to cop-tal1e it from Field Marshal Eb- bets.

WEDDING GIFTS
 IN HIGH LIFE

The proposal has been made for a na3ion-wide penny subscription for. a wedding gift for Mrs. Gait, the Pres 1dertss ffancee A penny from every citizen, is the slogan.
 Whether or not this is attempted, the President and Mrs GaIt will have the usual superfIuity of gifts seen at high life weddings. There are many people, niggard1y with charities, who will make these superfIuous offerings to notabilities. No President should ever need financial assistance for the rest of his life. He will be amply able to buy everything. except the unpur- chasable gifts of fri~ndship and love.
 The assennb1age of gifts at the White House will represent mixed mo- tive. There will be-the usual welcome offerings of real friendship. In some cases the gifts will carry the taint of the social game. The autos graph letter from the prospective Mrs. Will son is anticipated, as an heirloom to be handed down. Then there may be possible invitations and valuable ties with high life. Climbing families having daughters to marry or social heights to reach, must not neglect these chances. A hundred dollars for a wedding gift is merely an incident. Such gifts aret burden. A. single teaspopas standing for real affection is better than a, mahogany sideboard with musf1y sentiment or selfish feel ing behind it.
 The Suggestion of the penny sut9- seription to Mrs, Gait is no doubt prompted by kindly feeling: But it should not trench ea the fields of real phiianthrepy. Our charities have a. hard struggle to exist, Other causes should 1Fsve their vital necessity be- fore they trench ca the already burn cd over fields of BeaeYeieRce.
