The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-06-25

About 90 years ago we were told that our friend John D. Rookie.
Teller had been condemned to a diet of crackers and milk for the rest OF
his life, and since that time we have written 1883 blurts about that
very thing. Now it appears that the whole thing was a fabrication, and
he has been eating what he wanted all this time 1t seems as though
everything is being upset these days. Next thing we will probably hear
that the venerable gentleman has a full head Of natural hair.

Petition Asks
Repeal Tax

Although the system in vogue at
the various soda fountains does not
require the customer to pay the lux
ury tax, hundreds of El Centrans are
signing petitions asking for the re-
peal of the war tax on sodas, soft
drinks and ice creams.
The petition is directed to Con-
gross and recites that the tax is un-
fair, a discrimination against the
working classes who patronize soda
fountains to greater extent than
any other class cf society, obnoxious
TO the public at large and nuisance
to the dealers.
In practically every other city Of
the Valley the consumer is required
to pay the or 2-cent additional cost,
thus putting thousands of additional

TILDENPICKED
TO WIN SINGLES
Local Star Favorite for Ma
tional Indoor Title-Start
Play Today
NOSHELL IS CHAMPION

New York, March 29.-The twentieth
annual mems national indoor lawn ten
mis- champ onshp tournament in singles
and doubles, started this morning at the
Seventh Regiment Armory, Park Avenue
and Sixty-siXth street.
There are three players who stand out
as favorites for the title now held by
Lieutenant S. Howard Voshell, who will
play through In defense of his laurels.
These are Voshell, William T.. Tilden,
I'd, national clay court champion, and
Vincent Richards, the sixteen -year-old
national boy and doubles champion
Craig Biddle, the veteran International
ist from Philadelphia, is another who
is expected to put up mighty strug-
gle before succumb!ng.
May Pull Surprise
Lawn tennis players are human, like
the rest of us, and therefore subject
to humanity's common failings and
it may be that the winner of the title
will turn up in the person of somebody
not SO we'll known to court fame. But
If the game goes as it logically should,
the national indoor champion for 1919
will be found among these four men,
with Tilden the most likely choice.
IllOen set up remarkable record
of consecutive victories last season,
suffering only one defeat. at the hands
of Lndley Murray, in the. final round
of the national championship on turf
courts at Forest Hills last September.
He seems bent upon making an even
more comprehensive campaign the COM
ing season, for this will be the first time
the sensational Philadelphia has ever
competed for the national indoor honors.
Must Watch Richards
Richards is another who will be
watched with interest in every match
he enters. and this is partly because of
his extreme youth and partly because
of the fact that he Is constantly improy-
ing with every tournament and Is re-
garded by competent critics as certain
holder of the highest honors on Ameri-
can courts withing the next few years.
The University Heights Tennis Club
youth has faced Tilden, who has been
his tennis Instructor and mentor for
the last two years, on many occasions,
mostly in practice matches, and has
almost invariably met with defeat But
the margin of difference between the
two is steadily lessening, and last
month, in the Middle Atlantic States
tournament in Philadelphia, the school
boy amazed the gallery by playing his
teacher to a standstill in five gruelling
sets, only losing the match by hairs
breadth.

Mrs. X. II. Barlo,U Sur
prises, Taking North and
South Title for Second
Time
MRS. TURNBULL VICTOR
By PETER PUTTER

DHlLADELPHIA women have opened
L the golf season most auspiciously.
In the qualifying round Mrs Clarence
H. Vanderbeck, of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club. led the field by five
strokes. but unfortunately was not able
to remain for the tournament and this
left the qualifying medal TO Mrs. Hurd
and Mrs Ronald H. Barlow, of the
Merton cricket Club. Mrs. Barlow
proved to be the winner of the tourna-
ment
This is the second time that she has
won the North and South title. 1t is a
tournament that attracts the biggest
women golfers of the country, and it is
a rare honor to win the championship.
1t is particularly pleasing TO realize
that the long golf vacation that Mrs.
Nanderbeck took has not interfered with
her very fine game. There is no doubt
that when she won the national title in
1915 by defeating Mrs. Gavin, she led
the women golfers of the country
Beats Miss Stirling
In another round she defeated Miss
AleXia Stirling after twenty-five hard
holes of golf. Except for her appear
ance last year in one of the interclub
matches, she practically played no
tournament golf in 1918.
ASK the great majority of the women
golfers here about Mrs Barlows game
and they will tell you about what they
call the Barlow luck. They admit she
is very fine player but also assert
that, coupled with this, is a lot of luck.
Two women will play a brassey shot.
One will land in bunker and stay
there, while they argue that invariably
Mrs. Barlow's brassey shot will land in
and jump out or just miss the hazard
by a miracle.
Whether this is so or not, nine out of
ten women players here still talk Of the
Borrow luck.
In addition to Mrs. Barlow the other
Philadelphia women Jared well in the
tournament, and in virtually every eight
Philadelphia woman was in the final
round.

Jim Thorpe Kept Busy

Jim Thorpe isn's attracting as
much attention at Gainesville as he
did at Marlin a few years ago when
he came to the Giants fresh from
the conquest of the world, athletically
speak ng, yet he is a busy Indian
these days. Jim will not displace
George Burns or Benny KauT or
Ross Young in the outfield, but he is
now the only utility outfielder on
the active list of the club. and he
hopes to break into a few games this
year. The Giant Indian was in good
trim when he reported. and has
shown in his few workouts that he
has lost none of the speed for which
he is famous. Also, Jim Is soaking
the ball pretty regularly this spring,
which should be cheering news to his
admirers.

WOMEN'SEVENT
IS CALLED OFF
Covered Tennis Tourney
Will Not Be Held
This Season
PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR
Bv ROBERT T. PAUL


THE proposed covered tennis tourna-
l. ment for women on the roof of the
Wanamaker Store will not be held this
season. It had been the intention of
Miss Phyllis Walsh, Miss Sophie Norris
and Bill Tilden To hold such an event
some time next month. The warm wealth
er the early part of this week. however,
caused all plans to be cast aside.
When the covered tournament for men
held last month. turned out to be such a
fine success a similar event for women
Immediately was thought of. Plans were
started to obtain the entry of all the
I leading players Of the East. including
Mrs. George Wightman. Miss Molla Blur
stedt. Marion Zinderstein, Eleanor Sears,
Glare CasseI and all the local stars.
But the turn of conditions to regu-
lar springlike weather and the desire
of the players TO quit indoor for outdoor
play upset everything. The majority OF
the local and nearby ClGbs are getting
their courts into shape and 1t is expected
that many will be ready in week or
so. 1t is expected that covered tour
nament for men and women will be held
next year.
Tilden.Richards History
The entry of Bill Tilden, Of this city,
and Vincent Richards. of New York,
in the national indoor tournament which
started this morning over in New York,
recalls the fact that it was in this event
last season that the doubles team of
Tilden and Richards was first thought
of.
Tilden was paired with young cecil
, Donaldson. Of New York. 1t seems
strange but the former partners
met this morning in the first round of
the singles Richards was playing with
Allen Behr, a relation of Carl Behr.
Young Donaldson and Tilden advanced
, TO the final round. defeating Richards
and Behr in the second round. This
second round match was d sad exhibition
and after the contest the players started
to kid" each other about their poor
partners.
After joshing a while, Richards turned
to Tllden and said. Say, Bill, what do
you say to our winning the national
doubles this year?'
without giving the matter the least
bit of thought Tilden replied in a joking
manner, why surely, Vine
Richards Didn't Forget
! The national clay court champion
thought nothing of the incident unit
he received a letter from Richards last
spring while serving with the sigma
corps out in Pittsburgh. In the letter
Richards wanted to know whether Tilder
! had only been joking or was serious
about pairing in the outdoor national
| doubles.
Tilden at once sent a wire saying h,
was satisfied to play with Richards II
the national championships Despite thu
fact that they never had played doubles
together Tilden and Richards tough
their way through TO the final roun'
and the title.
Now Richards is planning to come owe
to this city and either work at Wana
makers or go to school at Germantowl
Academy next fall. This season they wi
play in virtually all the leading tourney
and will defend their national title.
