Apparently the President takes

in his illness the government can
not perform it's functions.

Old World ruler of the old regime
was ever more arbitrary, or less
given to taking advice. He has re-
garded his cabinet as a group of
clerks. After the sinking of the
Luistania he refused to consult
them before making his speech.
During the important Mexican nego-
tiations early in his administrations
there were weeks when he never

The morning after his talk with MB.

Louise looked at him blankly.
"My work WAS so bad then" she
began

asked practically.

had forgotten that detail and was afraid
Louise might suspect his scheme. But she
did not for she answered checrfully enough.
'tWell start right after lunchaon--you'
better stay for IT.
During the drive, over the Palisades
and down the long road that ran rough
the Hackensack Valley, Louise made no
attempt To talk. As they passed the little
suburban villages, her old life began coming

DaUis Cup, Tennis
 Trophy, Has Much
 TraueL led Record.

New York, August 14.-(SpeciaL)- The Davis cup, emblematic of the worlds highest honors in tennis, per- haps. the most travelled trophy in exist ence. During the twenty years in which it has been in competition, it has established a mileage record that resembles the claims of some manufac- turer for his facvorite tire. To date it's record totals over 36 900 miles, and this year the United States hopes to add several thousand to that figure by bringing it back to these shores.
 This prize for international compe- tition has done more to promote gen eral interest in tennis than any other development of the game. Reason for that statement is found in the numer- ous homes the cup has had since Dwight F. Davis of St. Louis started it on it's way in 1900 Since then it's record is: 1900-2 United States; 19O3-5, England; 1906-11, Australia; 1912, England; 1913, United States; 1914, Australia (no> contests during war) i; 1919 Australia
 Were it not for the fact that the cup has been held several years in succession by each of the winning na- tions the figure of 36,000 miles would be much higher, for teams in this com petition have gone we'll over 10O00 miles.
 While theecup has been esta ablishing this reputation much travelled piece of silver the teams that have been pur- suing it have hung up several mileage records of their own. The one that will represent the United States in the chal- lenge round in Australia next Decem- Der is no exception to the rule. By the time it returns to the United States it will have enriched the worlds steamship and railroad companies by the fares> of some 25,000 miles of travel

Burlington to Meet Canadian Champ at Stag
Regular Monthly Stag to Be Held at Birmingham Athletic Cub on Au-
 . gust A

The tcn-round bout between Dummy Harrington, southern well terweigbt king, and Eddie Woods, Canadian welter champion, will feature the regular monthly stag to be held at the Birmingham Athletic Club on Tuesday night, August A.
 One of the niftiest ring battles that has been held in the Magic City in some time is expected when the two amateur champions from different sec tions mix affairs. Woods has quite a reputation as a fighter, having met and defeated a number of well-known boxers. while Harrington, the best the Magic City has developed in some time, is ir good condition to give the Ca- natian a hard fight
 \Six other fast bouts between local amateurs will complete the card for programme given at the B. A. c. was a success, but it is expected by the os- ficials that the coming carnival will surpass all others with the Barrington- Woods bout as headliner.
 Woods made the Canadian Olympic team in the tryouts. but failed to sail to Antwerp on account of illness at the lllne. ne IS ullRntY good Ilgnter- The welterweight is a hard hitter and is exceptionally fast on his feet. He has met such men as Frankie F1em- ing, Tommy Stapleton Battling Ken ney. Keys and others of considerable fame
 Dewitt Alfred, present holder of the state amateur weatherweight title, will meet Walter Hanna in a fast four round exhibition to defend his title. Alfred is one of the cleverest and hard est hitting ring artists on the B. A. .. team and is very quick and shifty. This will be one of the features of the bouts between the local boxers
 The semi-windup of the evenings en- tertainment will be, six-round en- counter between Jack Brady and Ches- tain, lightweights. Chestain is a sci entific fighter with a hard punch while Brady gave a good exhibition himself at the last B. A. c. stag.
 Four other bouts are on the pro- gramme. Pug Sherrod, the hard hit ting lightweight champion of Dixie, will take on Chuck McElwain for four rounds. Smiles meets Perrin in the f15- pound class, Stevens meets Hollis in the 10S-p pound class. while the battle between Carl Arnold and George Will son completes the programme.
