THINK TERM IS EFFEMlNATE
Some Tennis Players Object to Word
"Love" as at Present Employed
In Scoring System

There is talk among the overlords
OF tennis of finding another word than
"love" to mean nothing in the scor.
ing system, for, although it may sur
prise many to hear it, the game is
sometimes spoken of as effeminate,
and this bit of Technology is held re-
sponsble. Nobody has ever explained
why "love" means nothing" in tennis,
but there is footnote in an old and
rare book about cafd-playing which
refers to an old Scottish word fluff. F"
which meant nothing" and this. per-
haps, may have been somehow trans
ferred into the game of tennis. Or,
again. the term may be of far eastern
origin, where a word sounding like
love" was used in the old form Of
tennis that was once popular in the
orient Whether or not the termin-
ology undergoes change the game is
In no immediate danger of falling off

WHICH IS CRUSOE'S ISLAND?
Opinion Seems to Favor Tobago Above
the Claims Made by Adherents of
Juan Fernandez.

For many years Juan Fernandez, a
Chilean island off the eastern coast Of
South America, was known as Cru
soe's island, because another adven-
turer had spent five years there in
solitude, and it was thought for some
time that Defoe had recorded this
hermits experience. But following
Crusoe's directions that he Landed on
an island in a latitude of II degrees
nearer the mouth of the Orinoco river,
and in sight Of the Island of Trinidad,
one comes upon the Island Of Tobago,
tiCn.
An interesting discovery which
gave prominence to Tobago as the
real Crusoe's island occurred some
years ago, when the skeleton of a
goat was unearthed iE a cave on the
island. This conceded remarkably
with CruSoe's statement that he
found dying goat in hillside cave
and later buried it there. "Crusoes
goat became for time an object of
great popular interest and figured as
prominent exhibit at the Chicago
Worlds fair.
ToDagos failure to obtain greater
recognition of its Importance as the
"only authentic Robinson Crusoe
island is doubtless due to the fact
that it is retiring little island, con-
cerned chiefly with its plantations and
trade. Leaving Crusoe out altogether.
Tobago has had an eventful history,
from the time it was discovered by Co
lumbus, on his third voyage, until Eng
land took it from France in 1903, and
started to turn 1t into a profitable col
ony.

COULDN'T FACE THE UNKNOWN
Antics Of Contortonist Saved Him
From Hungry Tiger When Other
Escape Was Impossible.

1t is related that native Of India,
who had learned some of the elemen-
tary principles of jugglery and contor-
ton, put his knowledge to decidedly
practicable as we'll as novel use one
evening when he was walking upon a
ridgy plain
When the Hindu had reached the top
OF one of the mounds he saw q tiger
ahead of him, 500 or 600 yards away.
Before the man could hide behind a
mound the tiger had seen him and be-
gan to bound toward him at its top
most speed. Having no means of de-
Tense there was nothing for the man to
do but to race for the nearest tree, but
though he tried it and put forth his
utmost strength the tiger steadily
gained on him.
What was he to do? In sheer des-
peration he resolved upon an unusual
scheme. Just as he disappeared for
an instant from the tigers sight in
running over ridge he halted,
stretched out his legs at right angles,
curled down his head so as to look be-
tween his legs to the rear and extend
ed his arms upward in a fantastic
manner, like the sails of windmill.
In few seconds the tiger hove in
sight, and at that instant the face of
the object assumed hideous grimace
A prolonged yell arose, such as had
perhaps never before pierced the ear
of any tiger, and the sails of the wind
mill began to revolve backward and
forward, as if a sudden whirlwind had
burst upon the scene.
The tiger recoiled What, he evil

tic against the sky. It's vise-like jaws,
between which those fendish roars
were issuing. were actually placed
above its two fiery eyes. Its limbs

and the man he had been chasing,
where was he? Already deyoured by
this terrible beast. The tiger did not
pause to reflect de turned tail, and
as he disappeared over a friendly
ridge a last awful yell caused him to
redouble his pace. He was conquered
by the unknown.

MADE FIRST OYSTER COCKTAIL
Connection That Has Won the Heart
Of the World Is Credited to
Drunken Sailor.

II the Manhattan cocktail owed ies
origin to New York city, no less does
the oyster cocktail claim San Fran

San Franciscans know this, but the
younger generation simply accepted
the oyster cocktail because it was good
and never bothered to inquire as 70
its origin or birthplace But to San
Francisco 1t belongs, and this is the
story of it's birth
In the 30s John Monaghan, who
Kept stall In the old California mar
ker, specialized in oysters, and one
morning sailor, listing badly from
too much liquor. stopped at Morag-
hans place and demanded q bowl Of
oysters He wanted them served with
out their shells and announced his
ability and intention to consume a
peck Of hem. adding for Moraghan's
benefit that he had the price where
with to pay Monaghan served the
eailor about quart of the small
California oysters and then the Gus
toner, eying the array Of condiments
along the counter, started to do some
Of the weirdest seasoning known. He
put tabasco sauce, horseradish, Wor-
cestershire, tomato catsup, salt, pep
per and vinegar into the bowl of oys-
tere and mopped up the combination
in glee. smacking his lips over every
spoonful. Then he asked for another
helping, and persuaded Monaghan to
sample the mess. Monaghan did so,
and smacked his lips too.
The gastronomic vagary Of a drunk
en- sailor resulted in something so
rare, 90 appetizin9 that Monaghan
knew 1t would become a favorfte with
his customers. and the next day sign
appeared upon the counter announcing
to the public that oyster cocktails were
for sale at ten cents each. They made
an instantaneous hit with the public
ard their popularity grew until world
wide fame was theirs, and Monaghan
deserves the credit for realizing that
