nations-Tennis Gives Men and Money
BY GRANTLAND RICE

MO ONE ever considers golf attached TO
~ any warlike detail. Its general color
scheme is the green of the fairway and the
gray and brown of the heather. not the red
flame of battle
Yet golf's contribution 20 this war has
been one of the big things of the times.
for tho old game has given both its men
and its money in lavish profusion.
Colts Financial Aid
There is no set record yet available as
to how many dollars golf has turned IN
for the Red cross or other war relief
funds. But a faint estimate Is at least pos
siblc. Back in May, on Memorial Day
metropolitan clubs of New York alone
turned i'm more than $4,000. single clubs
contributing $4,000 and $1,000 to the FUND.
Later on, at Fourth of July tournaments
throughout the country, more than SSo'oO0
was raised.
Here are. two lone funds from golf that
netted around Sl75,OO0. In addition to this
are all the exhibition matches played by
Ouimet, Travers. Evans, Kirby, Guiford.
Sawyer Anderson and others dozens OF
these-which netted from $500 to $1,000 for
each match.
There was still another general contri-
button. Money collected back in April for
prizes at more than thousand clubs, al
most without exception was turned over to
the Red Cross and war
Many of these clubs turned in from
$1,000 TO $500 each. Others only had $500
to offer. But the total ran up into impor
tant figures. Here is a known record OF
golf contributions that reach the 100000
mark, and IL doesn't include countless minor
donations. There was the only July tour
nament among professional aud amateurs
under the Golf Professionals Association
that nctted, more than $1,000.
As for Men
But golf has done something more than

doubtedly q greater amount than any
other sport has been able to ~aise.

However the directors of gymnasiums
for women saw at once that II was per-
haps the game they were eagerly Seek
ing-ono that would not have the rough
element of football. yet would be n quick,
spirited game--should cultivate strength
and physical endurance and be interest
ing enough TO become part of physical
training for women as football and base
ball are for men.
They observed at once that il contained
many clements of success required for such
a game. and forthwith attempted 1t as part
of their gymnastic work. Its success proved
far beyond their expectations. 1t was only
necessary TO try It TO have it become most
popular wherever IL was played. The COL
lcges for women found it boon. Tho
physical training schools took 1t up, and
their women graduates spread 1t all over
The country.
Is Played Everywhere
Today there are few gymnasiuns for
women where basketball is not "A part OF
their curriculum, and hundreds of basket
ball teams are formed yearly in all our
cities by women who play the game at reg
ular times during the winter. 1t Is one OF
the most popular games in which the fair
sex participate.
Experience with the sport, however, soon
proved that its one great fault Is its tend
ency to roughness. and that in order TO
overcome this tendency some notifications
would be necessary Nothing is more con-
elusive of this than the fact that the ma
jority of women who play the game do SO
with moro or less notifications.
one has a natural antipathy against
making changes in rules previously estab
lshed. The fact that the majority of
women find it necessary TO change the rules
of basketball TO suit their needs seems
significant. All this has brought about n
great cause for dissatisfaction: namely.
that scarcely two institutions of educa tion
for women play with precisely the same
rules. Most of them play with changes
of some sort. but each institution uses the
changes for itself

Benny Leonard Must Again

CLINE'S FEAT THE BEST
by BILL BELL

When Freddy Welsh was lightweight
champion he was managed by Harry Pol
lock. a new York promoter, and thereby
hangs a tale. 1t Is well known that BILLY
Gibson handles the present lightweight king.
Ditto that Benny Leonard is tho best his
weight in the world when Benny tossed
Freddy. Pollock, ever hustlng,, started out
after a champion.
He didn't go out into tie very distant
bushes like Connie and Ira Thomas. lie
played Jawn NcGraw & old army game or
something. He waited and lie looked them
over. He figured that he would save SOW
eral years OF hard work in producing and
training a boxer by picking up good ono.
Irish Patsy Clino was boxing hero and
there and nobody knew who made his
matches. His daddy and a man named
Neuman also took "a try at the thing" This
was bad condition of affairs. Hero was
one of the best lightwcights in the country
going about without a regular manager and
regular press agent
However, Pollock covers ground quickly,
and when Matchmaker IIanon went after

"Refreshments Were Served,

No social happening coming with
in the scope OF country newspaper
is complete without the sentence
whicl heads this article The prac-
tice of giving guests food and drink
is ancient and admirable SO far as it
carries out the spirit and purpose OF
the original custom. AS It applies to
modern gatherings, it is waste, pure
and simple.
When guests rode a-horseback over
bad roads and perchance in bad
weather II was not only proper but
necessary to offer them refreshments
and the bounty and variety Of the
food and the strength or choiceness
of the drink were measures of the
hospitality.
The custom is common TO all civil
lied nations and most aborigines. and
such hospitality was perhaps most
greatly valued when the procuring OF
food and other refreshment repre-
scented something of problem and
seasons Of scarcity might sweep the,
country at any time.
1t is more in the matter of polite
ness and emulation that the custom
survives. Because Mrs, a. serves tea
and waters when she entertains the
Sisters of Sew-Sew, Mrs. b. adds loaf
cake to the same sort of occasion and
Mrs c. eclipses them both with an
ice. Presently the Sisters expect
fair supper when they meet to Sew
Sew, and they go homeward replen
ished with thin sandwiches, salad,
several kinds of cake, tea and brick
ice cream
And so it goes. Afternoon teas,
church suppers, card parties, sewing
circles, committee meetings, lodge
doings, club meetings and all sorts OF
functions demand the same sort of en-
and men and women con
sumo a lot Of tea or coffee ana de-
your lot Of food that they do not
need and which, with their own ne
elected meals at home, constitutes a |
total waste.-Rutland Herald.
