desire to say to the public in gen
eral, and to Mr.. Moore in particular,
that Mr.. MoOre's views, as aired in
Wednesdays Herald, are far from be-
ing those held by the majority OF real
thinking Americans
He says that the Wilson adminlstra-
ton has been checkered with mistakes.
If this is his true opinion, I feel very
sorry for him, and hope that all people
Who voted for Wilson will not jump at
the conclusion that they made a mis-
take when they did so. I voted for Will
son, and must say that I think 1 made
no mistake by doing. So but that I did
the right thing. However. IL Mr.. Moore
wishes to tell me the mistakes that he
thinks the president has made. would

cent right or wrong. We Americans
should remember that he is our presi-
dent and that it is not right to criti-
clze him. G. D. Haigh.

Walker already has obtained a high

entered them in the Rosedale League.
This will give his team six weeks OF

that the Shrine will have to take some

afternoon and permitted shivering
young spring to slide gently but grace

weather which greeted the opening
matches of the newly organized Wash

termed by a Scotsman "wee bit dour.
However, the weather. unless 1t rains,
does not stop the racketers, and on this
occasion part of the schedule was car
ried out.
The match between the teams of the
Chevy Chase Club and the Columbia

featured by Doyle's hard hitting. In
the first set the players had not yet
warmed up to their work. but in the
second both showed a better brand OF
tennis. the District champion being IN
clined to take chances. which. however.
did not do much harm, as he was en-
tireIy too fast for Morgan. Connie"
does not hit the ball great deal
harder than many men. He does. how

explains his great speed and accuracy.
