the former Xavier Athletic Association
sprinter. admitted Yesterday to the reg

runners who took part in a professional
race at Ilion, y. Y, last week.
Heiland asser>ed that he knew tha,
competing against unknown athletes
would make him a professional. but as
he intended to take up coaching, he
refused to allow the opportunity to
make money slip.
During eleven years Of amateur COM
petition Heiland failed repeatedly to
win a single championship title.

his opponent in the match race, was

The champion looked to be in rare

match prove The very fact that the

usually decide three-set match took
the three hours that Hall needed to win
at 1916, As. 60. 4-6, 60, this contest
was the center Of the lawn tennis uni
verse.
That famous first set. in which the
lead seesawed from one to the other in
seemingly endless fashion, will be long
remembered. Just what a strenuous
test 1t was can be felt when 1t is no
ed in 1t than in the entire Williams
!nman match. this Notwithstanding the
Iact that lnman and Williams had two
deuce sets. There were six games more
to the set than to McLoughln's match
with Mathey, md the Californian had
one deuce set TO play before he won at

Johnson hardly can blame his defeat
on any lack of form or off day, for he
played beautiful tennis throughout the
long affair. but it was not good enough
to beat the brand OF game put up by
Han. The Philadelphian attempted to
throw Hall off his game by restricting
his attack to the soft cut strokes Hall
however. was in exceptional stroke and
his drives were marvels for their speed
and accuracy; He whipped them over
for passing shots time and again when
IT seemed as If Johnson had the upper
hand.

Photoplays Are Not
Written in Spare
Time Declares
Sargent

A telephone message from an as
piring scenario writer and a glance
at Epes Winthrop Sarsent's latest
advice to such people are respon-
sible for this. Most OF II is Mr..
Sargent's. because he probably has
a keener appreciation OF the trials
OF scenario writer's than any other
person IN the country. and his ad-
vice is better than that OF anyone
else we know. He has become a
sort OF father conressor OF the cult
in general. And being a practical
writer by profession. he knows eN-
actly what he 10 talking about.
The tspiring scenario writer who
telephoned her aspirations wanted IN
know now to go about writing see
narios .'as a pastime" She said she
had plenty of spare time on her
hands and wanted something TO con-
sumo It. Scenario writing seemed
to be about the thing that filled the
bill. Personally. the photoplay edi-
tor OF The Times has never heard OF
a scenario writer who was able to
do anything but kill spare time In
writing photoplays "as a pastime.
Some misguided director might take
such a play sometime and produce
it, And some time some genius
might be developed who can write
a scenario under such conditions.
But scenarios are not to be written
by people who have only spare
time" as the equipment with which
to write them. The business OF
writing for a living Is the most
thankless and unremunerative In the
world. be 1t editorials or scene rios
