TENNIS LEAGUE
/ BARS GRADUATES
Unanimous Vote Decides
Issue at Special Meeting
at Penn Charter
TAKES EFFECT AT ONCE
By PAUL PREP

AS was expected the rule barring post
graduates from competing in the Inter
scholastic Tennis League was passed at
a special meeting Of the association yes
terday afternoon held at the William
Penn Charter School. The delegates
voted unanimously to allow none but
undergraduates to compete.
The new ruling will take effect imme-
diately, thereby barrying several star
players who had hoped to play, although
not undergraduates. 1t had been eN-
pected that this question would cause
considerable discussion, but delegates
deemed otherwise. The new rule follo"s'

FINE SWIMMINC POOL
Bv PETER PUTTER


TNOUR or five years ago number of
i golfers ran over from the country
Club of Atlantic City to look at the
new clubhouse of the Seaview Golf
Club. The building was finished, but
there were no furnishings. We played
a round and took a swim in the new
salt water pool. Clarence II. Geist,
whose money made the club and course
possible happened TO be there and one
of us asked him how many members
he had.
Only One Member Then
"Let me see." he said. 80 far as I
know am the only member Of the
club"
Some one more inquisitive than the
others wanted to know If he could get
enough members, and was told that
question was one of his least troubles,
and that when the course and house
were finished there would be plenty of
members.
So it is no wonder today that the
club has a membership of $50 and more
are coming in every month The club is
unique in that it has but two officials,
a president and treasurer. There is no
house committee and no greens commit
tee and no membership committee, yet
there is no other club in the country
that is run so smoothly and SO ef-
ficiently
Wondrous Greens
The course is fat but the holes are
so interesting and the turf on the fair
ways and green's so fine that no one
minds the fiat ground. The last time

afternoon Of the qualifying round of

The fairways We're like huge strips Of

such fine condition that one dlsliked to
leave them to go to the next tee.

ment the golfers get in plunging into

something that no one realizes unless
he has been in it.
S500,000 Invested
The club shows what can be done
by the liberal application of money.
Today the membership is made up of
the money kings of America, and some
OF the biggest men in the steel business
like Charles NJ Schwab and Eugene G.
Grace are on the membship list, and the
list in general might have been taken
from the directory of directors of all
the big cities in the country.
Even the Traymore and the Marlbor-
ough- Blenheim have nothing on the club
house when it comes to appointments
and furnishings, and the club supplies
everything that the up-to-date hotel
gives its guests. Nearly every state in
the Union is on the membership list, and
some come there early in the winter and
stay until spring.
The largest membership is right in
this city, and, as the course is playable
the year round and is open for play.
particularly during the winter months,
it makes an especial appeal to Phila-
delphia golfers.

 to repair to the capital. He sup piled carriages for them and so ar- ranged the affair that each coach should be seen entering St. Peters burg with twelve or more of these small folk. The entire company of dwarfs who took part in the festivi- ties numbered seventy, and all the furniture and other things prepared for them were on miniature scale.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
 SERVICE
To Be Held Simultaneously Throughout the Nation on
 Sunday, February 9
"Ofno American who euer Hued can 1t be more truthfI fINy said that his heuu was incarnadined with the icg."

The Alaska Territorial Council of DeiepSe has advised the Wran- eell Council of Defense that 1t has ,e.ceived from Grosvenor B. Clark son, director of the Council of N1- iional Defense, a telegram urging general memorial observance throughout Alaska on Februaey 9 in honor of Theodore Roosevelt.
 A portion of the Director tele- gram follows:
 By direction of the Secretary of War, Chairman of the Council of National Defense, l request all state, county, community and num- icipal Councils of Defense to do everything possible to make suc- cessful the nationwide arrange ments for memorial services to be held simultaneously on February 9, 1919, the date of the proposed me- morial service in Congress.
 Because of the particularly non-partisan character of the great Council of Defense system it is singularly fitting that the foregoing action should be taken. The hon. bring of Theodore Roosevelt is a matter that transcends party belief and personal prejudice. He lived greatly for America and that is enough to justify even those who opposed him, in mourning his death. With iron courage he per- formed a major operation on the pubic morals of his country at a time when the public ethics had hecome dulled, and with daring and
 nf.iing dignity he measurably zGcreased the prestige of America 7 broad. Of no American can 1t be more truthtuliy said that his heart was incarnadined with the flag. For these things alone all Ameri. cans who lived in his time should consider themselves in bis debt and should turn aside on the oth day of February to honor his pas sing from the national state."

HUMOP IN ELEP.i .iANTS.
These Clumsy Creatures Are Trieey
 and Dearly Love a Joke.

ana OeaTiy GoSe ooNS. Elephants dearly love joke. When engaged in the timber trade in Burma l observed some queer pranks played by them.
 On one occasion l saw d calf play most ludicrous trick on its mother. The older animal was hauling a log, which fifty coolies could not have moved, from a river to the sawmill, quite unconscious of any guile in the bosom of her offspring. The youngster took a turn with his trunk around one of the chain traces and pulled back with all his might. This additional weigh. caused the mother to stop and look behind her, but on discovering the cause she gravely shook her head and prepared to resume her task of drawing the log to the mill.
 This was just what the little imp expected, and before the strain was put on again he kicked out the iron hook which fastened the long chain to the log. As the mother again began to pull he held back with all his strength on the chain until her muscles were in full play and tben suddenly let go.
 The effect was disastrous in the extreme. Down went the old ele- plant on her knees. and her driver described d most graceful and pro- longed curve before he landed on the ground. But. like a cat, he struc!, on his feet. and. Hurting out so:'ie heavy Burmese eSclamatIons of wrath, he whispered few words into the ear of the amazed victim of this unfilial practical joke. She seemed to understand him at once, and there ensued one of the most exciting chascs it has ever been my sooN fortune to witness.
 The calf scented danger the mo- rent he saw the driver whisper to his mother. and he placed d large stack of timber between the enrag- ed animal and himself as speedily as possible. but after Il hard chase he was cornered. The maternal trunk smote him on the loins. He gave shriek. At second stroke he dropped to his knees and took his punishment bravelv and patient ly. A few minutes later he walked past Us to his shed, but his trunk was dropping, and the great tears were coursing silently down his great india rubber checks.
 was sorry for the poor little fellow, and I noticed that at dinner time his mother was gently rubbing him down with her trunk and mani- festing nany signs of affection.- Chums.

The Sidesaddle.

It is generally understood that the sidesaddle used by ladies in horseback riding was the invention of the famous Catherine de- Medici while she was queen regent of France, say about 1859. Among her many other accomplishments Catherine was an expert horsewom- an and often s..A days together in hunting and fo Ewing the chase. It was while getting used to her new manner of riding necessitated by her sidesaddle that the queen re- ceived the fall which fractured her skull and came very near terminat- ing her career.
