 "Old and old-fashioned." described the speaker with his neighbor, but hard sensible head was his. When he came to live with his brother Will. liam, he had bought him the little farm. It was understood that this was to entitle him to board and keep for the rest of his natural life Old Caleb made a clean-cut sweep of all his earthly possessions except old Bill-old Bill, the family horse The others were welcome to his use, but Caleb owned him, attended to him and cherished him as faithful, valued link to the past.
 His niece, Millie, had come to full maidenhood with some grand ideas This had troubled her uncle for some time All but engaged to a great ia vorite of Uncle Caleb, one Reuben Ashley, she got in with the fashion able set in the village, where she did not belong, for they all had to work at the farm and William Stone had little money to spare on luxury and fine feathers. However, Nellie coaxed and wheedled him into supplying the money for some stylish clothes, and poor foolish child hattered and in new whirl of excitement, began to look down on her more humble friends, including plodding faithful Reuben
 Then came the climax One day spry spruce chauffeur whirled up to the farmhouse in a stylish touring car. He held long confab with Will liam and his daughter and was fully an hour showing them the mechanical details of the machine

Caleb fancied he detected a certain unusual sneakiness in the manner of his broth CT, who got out of the way as Caleb approached the auto, which had been driven into the yard.
 T say, Millie," he observed, "what is your father keeping out of my way for?"
 "Oh, he's planning to see where we will build the garage" explained the young lady pertly.
 "The garage! Surely, he hasn't haaa foolish enough to buy that ex-

 There was an afterglow, rare and radiant, to the supreme satisfaction of Caleb Stone. The boy. Wilfred, whom he had taught to work, had come to delight in the company of the quaint old man.
 One day he wrote letter. A week later a well-dressed man appeared his father. The lad had run away from home. But for good honest old Caleb he might have drifted into bad com. pany.
 His wealthy father left such a big money reward for Caleb that it fairly dazzled him.
 Every year Wilfred makes a long visit to the farm. Every hour of her life Millie Ashley is thankful for the experience that made of her a true, sensible woman.

HOLLENBACK BELIEVED
TO BE ON BOARD
Returns From Election to Penn
Directors Not All
in Yet

Whether Bill Hollenback. captain of
Penn's football team in 1905 has been
elected to the board of directors of the
Athletic Association of the University of
Pennsylvania or not will be known this
afternoon. The election took place at
Houston Hall Saturday evening, but some
of the ballots, particularly those from out
of-town members of the association, were
not received until this morning This
necessitated a delay in the counting.
1t is generally believed by the student
body and those in close touch with Penn
affairs that Hollenbaek received far more
than enough votes 10 place his name on
the board. If Hollenback is elected ii is
probable also that James BodIey, Louis
c. Madeira and John II. Minds, all
graduate candidates, are also elected
The only two graduate nominations TO fill
vacancies were Sidney Thayer and Paul
Thompson, hence they were unanimously
chosen.
The probabilities that the undergradu-
ates elected were: Robert Dechert. Cor
don Harwiek, Edward ID. Davis, John b.
Thayer. C. w. b. Townsend, Nelson
NJ Mathews, James E, Meredith and Gus
f. Nevins.

POOL TOURNAMENT
AT RACQUET CLUB
First Handicap Events of Sea-
son Are Scheduled to
Begin Today

The first pool tournament to be staged
by any of the local clubs is scheduled to
begin today at the Racquet Club. This
championship events, with the Bagnall-
Wilde method of handicapping in vogue.
BY this method all the players are put
into one class, saving the necessity of
many divisions. The scratch men play
at 125 points, with the other contestants
ranging down until the low men play
at Go.
This furnishes a rather wide range; but
in view OF the fact that there are some
players of exceptional ability in the
Racquet Club, such a hig handicapplng
is necessary. The scratch men in this
tournament VIII in all probability be Day
ton Phillips and Ned Price, though there
will be several others near their mark.
Among the others who will compete are
Ned Filter, Clayton Dixon. Mitchell Ro-
sengarten, James Potter, Whitney Wright,
William Swain and Winthrop p. Smith.
The clubs best player. in fact, the best
pool player in any Philadelphia club, T,
NJ s Rolls, will not take part in the
matches. He is such 4 marvelously eff
clent player that he never enters the
club tournaments, as 1t would be impos-
sible TO so handicap him along with the
others as to prevent him winning. Rolls
I'm recent years has turned from bill
liards, at which he was regarded as one
of the most promising players in Amer
lea, to pool, and has developed just as
wonderful a grade of skill in that game

| W. T. TILDEN, I'D tennis to win, and
to be really good a man must be keen
to win, ever goes through tournament
| lone might almost say n match) without
losing his temper to some degree. The
man who does not feel 1t when things
break against him is not in fit condi-
ton to play-he Is probably stale 1t Is
not fault to lose ones temper, pro-
vded 1t does not either hurt ones game
or show too much outwardly 1t Is worse
than fault, 1t is a tennis crime, to al
low ones temper ever to get the best of
one to the extent that II hurts ones
game. Thus. in looking at the effect on
man of various occurrences In tennis
matches, one must always consider the
effect on temper.
Never gloom over the wonderful shots
made by your opponent, no matter how
important a point he takes away from
YOU Simply give him full credit for a
fine effort and go after the next point.
DO NOT GET SORE.
Do not get sore at yourself to the ex-
tent of growing Indifferent il you miss
shots that you should make. If you start
missing, keep your mind fixed more
closely on that shot each time you play
1t. The more YOU think about the shot
you are making the less time you have
to gloom and get peeved because you are
intent on the next result and not on the
past.
IhlS digreSsion from the real intent OF
the article Is only intended to get this
over Do not blame yourself If you get
mad and play well. But blame yours, #
severely If you get sore and miss shots
because you are sore, or get sore and
quit. He who quits once never deserves
serious consideration again, for the habit
grows, and he is more apt to quit when
he gets up against It again.
The gutter Ia not needed In any branch
of sport.
Now let us consider several peculiar
effects ON tennis players.
EFFECT OF AN AUDIENCE.
Joseph j. Armstrong, the Pennsylvania
State champion, claims that all players
are affected by a crowd and usually to
the detriment of their game II Il man
is truly sunk in his own match and in
tent only on winning 1t it would make
no difference to him whether there were
five or 5000 persons present. 1t is when
the man is only half intent on his match
that the audience affects him. Then the
brilliant man Is made or broken by the
crowd. If he is going we'll to open the
chances are he will play a great match
but If no starts badly 1t is seldom he cnu
bring his mind out from the audience and
fasten 1t sufficiently on his match to
bring his game up.
These are not the most important
psychological effects in tennis. 1t is the

bob" FOLWELL
MAY COACH THE
SYRACUSE TEAM
If Penn Does Not Call Him
He Will Accept
This Offer
WOULD M A X E GOOD

If Bob Folwell. the noted Washington
and Jefferson football coach is not wanted
at penn next year he probably will accept
the position as head coach of the Uui-
versity Of Syracuse eleven. This became
known today when It was learned that
Il. +. Southworth, an alumnus of the
New York institution, had been in phila-
dclphia all of last week and held many
conferences with Folwell while no reg
ular offer was made the old Penn star
was given to understand that he was
being considered seriously by the athletic
board and an effort was being made to
tender him good contract for next year.
1t is known that syracuse IL on the
market for a conch Buck O'Neil who
turned out the exceptionally good team
last fall, has resigned and will spend
all of his time taking care of his law
practice. The New Workers. have had a
taste of victory Tor the first time in
years and they are anxious to get the
best man available to keep the team in
the running.
OTHERS APPROACHED.
Bill Holenback and Willie Crowell also
were approached but it Is net likely that
either will he considered.
Folwell has not signed a contract with
Washington and Jefferson for next year.
He asked time to consider the offer they
made him, and will give them an answer
at the bginninE of the year. The alumni
and students at Washington and Jeffer-
son are eager have the coach return but
Folwell probably will receive hatterng
hoe ,,.Kl L,
sible to turn down.
1t Is known that Folwel wants to help
Penn next fall and is willing to make a
big sacrifice to do so. He announced that
he is willing to coach the team for moth
ins If he is wanted by the Athletic Com
mittee and he means it. If he Is not
wanted, however, he will accept the best
offer made by other colleges
Syracuse is not the only college that is
after Folwell's services, Several institu-
tlons In the West and middle West would
like to see his name affixed to a contract
and are waiting to see how things turn
out at Franklin Field
Folwell made a wonderful record last
fall at Washington and jefferson He de-
velOped eight new players and lost only
one game. Pittsburgh winning by the
score of 10 to o. II was the real test of
Folwell's ability, and he came through
whit flying colors.
