CHRISTMAS FOR CHILDREN
IN WAR-RlDDEN EUROPE

Christmas, for the children in the
war devasted countries of Europe,
will mean just what we make it for
them.
Even though peace approaches
Belgium, France, Italy and Servia,
and other countries as well, have
thousands of homeless orphaned
children who are destitute.
A Christmas gift of good food and
warm clothing has gone to them
every year since the war began, thru
the War Children's Relief Fund, of
which Mrs. Eva Macdonald Valesh,
the well-knCwn speaker and writer
is National Chairman.
This season, she appeals again to
children and to those who love child
rem to join in the privilege of giving
the Children of the Allies a happy
Christmas and also substantial relief
for the hardest and coolest weeks in
the year.
Mrs. Valesh says:
at is estimated that about a dol
lar will be expended on each child
this year."
"a whole day of happiness in a
child's life and a golden memory for
you, that will live throughout the
year-all for q dollar"

Runner-Up, Possessed of
Title Ability
By Fred Hawthorne

That America is schooling a remark
able crowd of future stars of the lawn
tennis courts is being demonstrated
with the holding of every tournament
in which boys and juniors compete.
The latest prodigy to link his name
with those of the ranking players is
young Cecil Donaldson, just turned
fifteen years of age, who, paired with
William T. Tilden, I'd, of Philadelphia,
finished as runner-up for the national
indoor doubles championship at the 7th
Regiment Armory yesterday
In spite Of his youth, Cecil has been
playing the game for several years,
having been coached in the early
stages by Gerald Donaldson, his ia
ther, on the clay courts of the Bor-
ough Park Tennis Club, in Brooklyn.
Although he has yet to win q title,
young Donaldson is making rapid
strides in that direction, as his per-
formance yesterday indicates.
We forget just when it was that
Cecil first attracted our attention, but
If memory serves US Alright it was about
two years ago, in the spring. In those
days the boy who was later to create
sensation in the ranks of the rank
ing men had not yet graduated into
the dignity of long trousers and was
several inches shorter in height than
he is to-day; and right now Cecil is no
giant in size.
Alexander Appreciates Budding Genius
1t was Frederick B. Alexander, the
internationalist of Davis Cup fame
who pointed young Donaldson out to
US one afternoon during the Djavinp
Of junior tournament on the clay
courts of the West Side Tennis Club
at Forest Hills.
We saw thirteen -year-old boy in
knickerb rbockers playing in doubles
match with older and bigger boys. The
remarkable things about Cecil at that
time were the unwieldy size Of his
racquet as compared with himself and
the astonishing GOODNESS with which

The White Rowe controversy at Camp
Custer, involving the dismissal OF
Charley White, Chicago lightweight, at
the suggestion of the division athletic
officer. Floyd A. Rowe. has broken out
anew. When Charlie White WAS fired"
the various newspaper correspondents
wired Joseph Z. Raycroft, chairman Of
the commission on training camp
activities, for an explanation.
Raycroft replied that White was dis
missed because his instruction had not
been successful and because he was not
subject to athletic director discipline
White was popular with the officers and
men.
