FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. 81
Through his clean cut victory yes
terday over Ichiya Kumagae, the
japanese champion, George Myers
Church of Tenafly, N. J., looms today
as the most dangerous of the con-
tenders for the national singles cham
pionship. This afternoon the orien-
tails conqueror was to meet Eugene
Warren in the feature match of the
days play.
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, generally
considered the chief rival of VIM. M.
Johnston for the title until Church
displayed this startling form, will
meet tartar today in Theodore
Roosevelt Pell who eliminated E. A.
Mcpherson. The latter in spite Of his
Scotch name is the second best player
of Russia. Pell plays a game greatly
similar to McLoughlfn's and some
fast work is looked for.
Johnston is not expected to have
much trouble in disposing of Ma
thaniel w. Niles.
Whether Church, by his consistent
net play, brilliant in every respect,
will be able to volley his way into
the finals is the question uppermost
In the minds of the tennis fans. In
his victory over Kumagae, Church
proved beyond any doubt that good
net player places the Jap's style at
q terrible disadvantage, but no one
expected him to have as easy time
with Mclaughlin and the other top
notchers. If Church and Mclaughlin
win today they will come together to-
morrow in the fourth round of the
tournament and the winner of this
match. should it be held, will in the
opinion of majority of the experts
be one of the players in the finals.
The champion William M. Johnston,
played good game in disposing Of
Francis T. Hunter, but Hunter was
not Of the calibre to really test John
ston's skill. The champions first
match of any importance will come
today when he meets Niles.

ROMANCE SEEN FROM SADDLE
cslIoplne Hoofs Constitute an Eternal
Challenge to the Spirit
Of Youth.

Romance likes 10 come on horso-
back; the jingllng spurs and bride

and from the saddle, as from the
throne, he looks out over the workaday
world. snys u writer In Scribner's
Magazine.
Romance always has been linked
with riding; In the playroom mounted
on gallant rocking chair youth rides
into a land OF golden deeds; later he
swings In long gallops on the faithful
hobbyhorse Into spicy and fugitive nd
venture. To the pnge on a prancing
palfrey and 10 the cavalryman In
khaki the lure OF romance is the same;

Stevenson always wanted to write n
story about man gall0ping up to an

BY at the gallop goes he.
He heard him In the sleepless mid

the sound OF thuddlng hoofs always

asphalt, the cracking Of twigs and
leaves on the quiet autumn trails the
mufIled rhythm OF canter on the turf.

with narrow frills which are extended
into rOsettes. II Is shirred In at the
walstline TO bodice and fastens In
the back. The frill may be separate
and fastened on at the walstllne with
snap fasteners, so that the pettlcoat
will serve for wear with other gowns
as well as those with a wide flare
about the hips. With frocks OF this
character the frill Is more graceful
than the hoop and easier to manage. II
is acceptable TO women who will not
go to the extreme Of the hoop and Is
especially effective with dancing

Taffeta Is not the only silk used for
