in Metropolitan Opera
This Season

New York. Dec. 31--Fear was ex-
pressed today that the golden voice of
Enrico Carlso may never be heard
on the stage again. despite unofficial
reports from his bedside that he was
"better" following a second operation
in connection with his serious illness.
The feeling grew among friends
and admirers that series of mishaps
eliminating in his present condition
marked the beginning of decline in
the musical career Of the brilliant
tenor.
1t is practically certain that Caruso
cannot appear at this season Of the
Metropolitan Grand opera.
Only members of the family, the
six attending physicians and the
nursing staff have been permitted to
see Caruso since his ILLNESS became
admittedly serious this week.

ing spring.
From the first Of the year to the
end Of 1920, America has swept, al
most supreme, down through the field
of sport. World supremacy on wa
ter was achieved by yacht, fishing
schooner and motor boat: world SUI
premacy on land was won by team
of rihemen, by track and field teams,
by swimmers, by Oarsmen and by ten
mis- players.
Perhaps the most blue-blO0dcd vic
tory was the Resolute's successful
winning of the historical cup from
the British yacht Shamrock ". Next
In class was the Americans sweeping
victory on track and field at the
Olympic games. Tennis joined in the
list of contests when William Tilden,
won the British National champion

Davis cup back to America after an
