division In the great battle of the Ar
some was given before the House Rules
Committee to-day by Major-Gen. Peter
E. Traub, the division commander, who
himself was twice gassed during the
battle. .s.
Appearing to deny charges of the
needless sacrifice Of men made by Gov.

with great pride the work Of his troops
from the misty September morning
when they went over the top until they
had driven the Germans back nearly
six miles after six days and nights of
alrnost incessant lighting over the most
strongly fortified section of the western
front
Fresh from France. the General still
was suffering from the effects of gas, his
two experiences in the Argonne being
his nth in the war, and he frequently
had to interrupt his recital to drink
water. At times his voice failed him
almost entirely, but suggestions OF men,
bers of the committee that he delay his
testimony were met with instant refusal
When his voice refused to give en-
phasis to his words he pounded the
table beside him to drive further home
his praise OF the soldiers 1t was his

'I1uI|s RULES ARE

IND MADE MODERN
Score Numerically Hereafter -
No More Love and Deuce
Foot fault Rule and Hand
leap System Revised.

New York. Dec. 15.--They've taken
the "love" out OF tennis.
The deuce" too will leave the court
deck. along with all the old scoring
vernacular.
No more win the cry of love 49,
BIO heard from tho courts for the SUI
prems council of tennis has ordered it
out,
Tennis has been decreed mans
game by the powers of the sport and it
shall be scored in mans manner.
The executive committee of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association has voted In favor of new
scoring system of numerical designa-
ton known as "one-two- three" sys-
tenn. The new rule speaks for itself
IF the server wins the first point,
the score Is called one -in; IL the re-
ceiver wins the first point the score is
called 'one out; IL each player wins
one point. the score is called 'one all;
II the server wins the next point, the
score is called two one
IF the receiver wins the next point
It is called one-two.' The scoring is
continued in this manner until either
player has won four points. The game
Ia then called for the player until the
other player has scored three points;
when the score is called four three. or
three four es the case may he and the
game is then scored for the player who
first thereafter gains lead of two
points"
Hay wording of the old foot fault
ruling has also been cleared up In a
substitute clause which provides that
the server must keep both feet back
of the line until the racquet strikes
tile ball.
The main purpose of the foot fault
ruling Is TO prevent the server from
taking an unfair advantage in getting
TO the net. 1t was the Judgment of the
committee that the purpose was ac-
cepted when the server is kept back
OF the base limo until the racquet
strikes the ball as it makes little diff
ference what he does thereafter.
Radical revision has also been made
In the method of handicapping. A
eimpie table replaces the elaborate
computations that have required for
the handicaps in the past.
The new ruling is:
The method of handicspping shall
consist of alloting to each player one
or more points in a set. These points
are to be added to the points scored
by each player in that set. The points
scored shall be recorded at the end OF
leach game and at the conclusion Of the
set the allotted handicaps shall be
added TO this total: The player then
having the greatest number of points
wins the match regardless OF the mum :
Der of games won or lost"
The changes were determined upon
after three months elaboration by s.
