to see the final match OF tine singles
tourney between Miss Goss and Miss
Helen Pollak. When the match between
Miss Molla Bjurstedt and Miss Goss be-
gan on Saturday, the bleachers On each
side of the championship court were
filled and many more were on the club
house veranda In all nearly eight hum
dred were present.
While many may consider the feat
of Miss Bjurstedt in retaining her title
in the singles play as the big feature,
1t was the splendid showing of the
younger players that stood out prom
inently. The performances of Miss Flea
nor Goss, Miss Marion Zinderstein and
Miss Helen Poliak especially deserve
mention.
Young Players Star
The playing of these three and sew
eral others marks the beginning of a
new school of players. Miss Eleanor
Sears no longer is the same Nora that
won tourney after tourney in yester-
years. Mrs. George Wightmen must
confine her play to doubles: Miss Glare
Cassel has reached her greatest heights.
while others who have been competing on
the courts for many seasons are on the
downward path.
Miss Eleanor Goss and Miss Marion
but did win the doubles championship
To accomplish this they were forced to
defeat Miss Molla Bjurstedt and Mrs.
Johan Rogge in the final round. This
was the first time that the winners had
played together in tournament. Their
teamplay at times was erratic, butt they
still outpiayed their rivals.
According to Fred Hawthorne, a lead
ing New York tennis critic. Miss Goss
and Miss Zinderstein have everything
required of champion and all they
need to dethrone the Marvellous Molla"
is to acquire more tournament experience
and further development of their natu-
raj ability.
Miss Biurs! edit" declared Hawthorne,
while champion. cannot make what Is
called an overhead drive. She must
resort to her powerful forearm stroke.
Miss Goss and Miss Zinderstein. on the
other hand. both use the overhead stroke,
and with a little more experience should
gain many points with this stroke. They
can play the back-court game well and
at the net outclass their opponents. Their
style of play resembles that of a man
more than any other players I've ever
SEEN"
Will Take Time
OF course. this development of their
play will take time. and it wouldn't be
surprise for Molla to win the cham
pionships two or possibly three more
years. But when she starts to decline
she will travel at n terr fic rate. She
has during the last three years play,S
at a fast pace. competing in all the lead
ing tournaments Unless she passes up
a few now and then she will Utterly burn
herself out, as the Olympia A. A. club
men would say.
Julian $. Myrick. vice president of TIE
United States Lawn Tennis Association,
and Joseph Jennings, of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, were greatly satisfied with
the tournament and declared that it was
on par with those in former years
before the war. The holding of the girls
Junior championship will boost the sport
among the younger girls.

was on the front step of 1t shaking his

there was one window on the street.
Well. Swatty and Bony and me went
through the lumber yard to the place
where Burnam's oil shed was.
The oil shed was right up against
the>bluff, almost at the railway, and it
was up on stakes, so that 1t was safer.
1t was about as big as kitchen. and
was painted red and the floor and
part Of the sides and part of the stakes
were soaked with oil, and the grass
underneath was withered and oily be-
cause theNeil had dripped and killed 1t.
Just as we got there we saw Slim
Finnegan. who was in .our class at
school but ever so much older than we
were, and he was under the oil shed
smoking a corncob pipe. His coat was
on the grass beside him, and just as
we got there he Jumped up and began
slamming at the grass with his coat,
for the grass was afire. Before we
could guess what happened the flames
seemed to run up the stakes like live
animals, and all at. once the whole
bottom of the floor of the oil shed was
afire.
Slim Finnegan gave one look at it,
and tucked his coat under his arm
and ran. There were piles and piles

sports and athletics of all kinds and
directs it toward an end making for the
greatest good for the country. In other
words, the love Of games inherent in
American youths can be utilized to do
away with any objection to military
training. The calisthenics practised by
European nations are drudgery to our
youth. Large doses of them do not
arouse any enthusiasm, and as a con-
sequence the best results are not at
tanned by their use.
ESPECIALLY will this be the case in
the days after the war, when military
training will not be so acceptable to
the individualist as it is now. But by
taking advantage Of the natural athletic
trend Of our youth we can develop such
race as no cut-and dried calisthenics
alone ever did or could. Let the cur
riculum provide enough sports so that
there shall be wide variety of good
ones from which each youth may choose
those he likes best and thereby attain
the best results. I believe it possible
to agree upon five or six sports in
which every youth in the country is in
tcrested."

now the duty of the various school
boards to provide schools. teachers and
books for the children free of charge.
As baseball would be handled, so could
all the other widely ditfused sports be
taken in hand and made to play their
part in the systematic development Of
the nations youth.
Nelson N. I.ampcrt. father of the
plan, is vice president of the Fort

duction of athletes
Plans Wide Range for Selection
"'rhe great underlying principle Of
this plan which makes it so feasible, )"
said Mr.. Lampert, in discussing the
project, "is that it takes advantage of
the national obsession or passion for
