CYNWYD WINS IN
TRISTATE TENNIS
Handily Defeats Whining
ton in Saturdays Play on
Latter's Courts
BY PAUL GIBBONS

The feature of Saturdays tennis matches
was the annual tristate play between Will
mington and Cynwyd. Both of these clubs
always make the occasion of the others
visit a gala one. Instead Of the regulation
six players on each team. it Is always en-
deavored to have ten payers on a side. ON
Saturday one of the members of the Gym
wyd team missed the train, and Conse-
quently the teams lined up with nine payers
each
It was arranged as heretofore. that only
the first six singles and the first three
doubles would count in the result, as far
as the triState standing Is concerned, and
the remainder would count merely as I'M
official interclub play.
Cynwyd won the tristate encounter by
eight matches to one and the unofficial
collective affair by ten matches to three.
Wallace Johnson and Albert Cross were
defeated by j. s. Taylor and l., A. de Gaze
move in sequence sets, 10-S, Sc Wallace
johnson was captain of the cynwyd team
for the day, as Doctor Hawke was unable
to play. and. in pairing himself In first
doubles with the No. player of the day, in
stead of playing with Swayne and dropping
to third doubles. he underestmated the
strength of Wilmngton's hest pair.
As Is invariably the case when star
player pairs with one of considerably less
ability. the opposing team directed its at
tack against Cross, and as is also invari-
ably the case with the player of lesser abil-
ity who always feels the superiority of his
star partner and seldom plays up to his
wonted standard, so it was on saturday.
Cross had to bear the burden of the play
and did not at all do himself justice, Thomas
defeated Hanson and Cause defeated Tull,
which completes the list of Wilmington's
three winning points. Warren Miles regis
tered a win for Cynwyd and. partnered
with Tull, earned a win in the doubles also.
Following the match special dinner party
of both teams took place.

watching a boxer take "A beating while they
hgure how much money they viii get from
the box office. \ little thing like tossing the
sponge into the ring Is furthermost from
their thoughts. Sometimes they even fail
to wash the blood off the boxers face be-
tween the rounds | remember one night
when a preliminary boy went through six
hard rounds and his seconds failed to pro-
vide sponge. They didn't need it, 50 why
worry about the boxer?
II is up TO the clubs to insist that eX-
perenced men act as advisers to the boys
in the ring. If those kids" are allowed to
run rampant the game will suffer blow
from which it will never recover.
Kelly Is Not Excited
Saturday night Freddy Kelly was stand
ing beside me when McGovern was dropped
in the third round. Terry had made one
ot his bull-like rushcs and CLANCY met him
with a terrific left smash to the chin. The
local boy was lifted off his feet and crashed
to the floor. | turned to Kelly to see what
he would do
Freddy was not the least bit excited. lie
saw his man stretched out on the floor and
grabbed the sponge from the water bucket.
When McCiovcrn pulled himself together at
the count of five he arose to one knee,
Kelly turned to the timekeeper and asked
How much time before the round Is
over?"
Forty seconds" was the reply.
Terry doesn't seem to be in bad shape,
said Kelly. "l'll wait and see how he acts
McCiovern went down again. but this time
he wasn't hit He took the full count and
arose much stronger. Near the end or the
round he dropped the third time and seemed
to be in fair shape at the bell
Saved From Punishment
A rest of one minute does wonders for a
trained boxer, and sometimes he recovers
completely from a knockdown McboNern
was in good condition. and when he faced
Chaney at the beginning of the fourth round
he had almost as much speed as in the first
Kelly was watching him closely warning
him to keep on the defensive and try 10
avoid that lefthand wallop about to be
launched by the Batimorean. Terry tried
to keep away. but CLANCY kept after nm
Suddenly he drove. that left to the body
and McGovern's arms dropped. His chin
was unguarded for an instant, and George
whipped his left to that spot and once
more the local boy went to the floor.
That was enough for Kelly. He saw
that his man was not knocked out, as
Terry was looking at him for further in
structions Before Jack McGuigan counted
two the sponge was hurled into the ring and
the bout ended then and there. McGoverr
was not marked. his face. was not covered
with blood and he possessed all OF his
senses He knew as well as any one else
that he was no match for the Baltimore
sluggcr and he was satisfied. So was the
crowd There's no disgrace in stopping a
bout like that and if few more managers
follow Kelly's example the boxing game
will improve.

from the ignominy of being knocked out
and the audience from witnessing scene
that should have been staged in a slaughter

GERMANY's SAD PLIGHT


 Germany is in a sad plight. She has mo more chance of winning the war than would the women of that fablcd maulcSs island i'm the South Seas have of subdumg the United States.
 But the war will not be ended until there is a government in Germany that can be trusted Co enter into a treaty. The kaiser is anxious to have the losing, to him, prop oSitiou ended. He knows that there iS mo chance for his armies to wiu-that millions of his best soldiers have been either killed or are prisoners in the hands of his enc mics-aud that his resources are being weakened steadily but surely. He would ouit if Inc had a chance, but the allies will mot "dickcr" with him in any way for the simple but sufficient reason that they can not trust him.
 With the kaiser at its head the German government cannot bc trusted. It has al- ready violated every rule of modern war fare. violated every known section of the code of national honor, diSrcgardcd as scraps of paper" treaties held sacred by other countries. betrayed every confidence rcposcd in it and by so doing has made of itself am outlaw among nations, am imperial highwaymuu. am autocratic frccbootcr
 Not one of the allied powers would risk the lives of its representatives by permit ting them to sit with representatives of the kuiscr's government to arrange a treaty of peace, as they would not know at what minute the latter would turn on them and murder them in cold blood Any nation that has no respect for a flag of truce; any nation that shells hospitals crucifc> babies, that murders wounded soldiers, that leaves rapme and worse in its wabc-such a nation can not be reason cd with OF dealt with other than to be au- uihilatcd-aud that is just what will hap pen to Germany unless the people of that bcuightcd country arise in their might and rcpudiatc the kaiser and kaiscrdom. Along this line am exchange has the following to say: "Thc German people themselves are sick and tired of war. Their nation is pros tatcd. Millions of their sons are dead or shut up in prison camps. They have noth- ing to gain by continuing the struggle Ave- they have all to lose. But the German people have nothing to do with their gov crmcut, and they themselves could make mo treaty at this time that would be bnd- ing, and the world can not trust their ruler So 1t seems the war must go on. Other millions of Germans must be killed. The end of the war can not come until the Ger man people themselves take their affairs into their own hands, and atone for the hor- riblc crimes that have been committed by thc empire against moffcndmg nations. The earth must bc rid of PwssianiSm and then if the German people themselves will mot help rid the earth of it, We shall have to do the work ourselves by destroying those who support Pusiaism."
