CECIL A. FENDER

Born March %, 1891, died June 8,
1921, in St. Louis at the Missouri Bap-
fist SanitariuTn, of pericarditus Of the
heart.
He leaves to mourn his departure a
devoted wife. who prior to their mar
riage on May s, 1910, was Miss Pearl
Cunningham, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. W. Cunningham. a daughter,
Georgia, mother, Mrs. Savannah Fem
der, and sister, Mrs. Jas. Siinkard, Of
Flint, Mich.-2
About twelve years ago Cecil pro-
fessed faith in Christ, and it can be
said of him he had led an upright and
moral life, always ready to help those
about him; in fact living unselfishly,
more for others than; himself.
As o husband and father, he was
loyal, loving, kind and true.
Cecil was well known, being an au-
to mechanic and also possessing. q
friendly ana cheerful, Tdisp1sition. He
won the respect and admiration of 0
host of friends, which was made evi.
dent by the large floral offerings sent
by friends both before and after his
death, also by the interest manifested
and by kindness shown during his ILL
ness.
Everything that human hands could
do was done to relieve his suffering,
Although often blue and discouraged
he would always say "I'm better
when asked how he was feeling. Cecil
was the sunshine of the home, good
natured and always looking forward to
better things. However hard to give
him up, the One who doeth all things
well has said, it is enough, come up
higher; "Thou hast been faithful over
few things, ] will make you ruler
over many" He was thus called home
where there's no more sickness, sor-.
row or death, but peace eternal, and
we can only live so that again we
shall meet him.
We have lost our darling Cecil,
He has bid us all adieu;
He has gone to live in heaven,
And his form is lost from view.
Oh. that dear one, how we loved him,
Oh, how hard to give him up,
But an angel came down for him
And removed him from our flock.
| 1t is sad that one we cherish
Should be taken from our home;
| But the Joys that do not perish
Live in memory all along,
Farewell, dear Cecil, sweet be thy
rest; farewell till in some happy place
| we shall behold your face again.
IT'S onrs to miss thee all our years
and tender memories keep, and with
aching hearts to wait and silently
weep. A FRIEND.

DANISH PLAYERS COMING

Assurance hns been received by the
officials Of the Germantown Cricket
Club that four of the most interesting
tennis players in the world will COM
pete for the singles championship Of the
United States at the Germantown Club
during the week beginning September O.
They are Colbert, the Frenchman !;
Tegnor, Ingerslev and Hcnriksen, the
young Danish players.
Colbert. with n brilliant war record,
great record on the courts and Won
derful finish to his game is certain to
be one Of the main attractions in the
field Of 21S players from nine different
countries who will strive 10 lift the
crown worn by Bill Tilden. the tall
Philadelphian.
Until this summer the relative merits
Of the players from the Scandinavian
countries was unknown. Then Tegnor
entered the hard-c championship in
France, which Tiden eventually won,
and scored brilliant victory in one Of
the rounds over Laurents, the French
man. who held the title. As IngPrslcv
and Hcnriksen also are skilled players,
and rank close to Tcgnor the trio are
likely to make interesting competition

September.
'The general public, the great body Of
sporting and lawn tennis lovers outside
Of the ranks of the Philadelphia clubs,

see the championship according to Sam

Where q punt goes sailing stoiftly

With dozen yards to 90
As some husky forpdrd nails him
And tackle lays him loo.
The Pirute Pace
LNOR three and half months, some
l. thing over hundred days rs the
crow flies, Gibson's Pirates have been
acting as pace settlers with but little
chance to flop and take an extra breath.
Pace setting Is no light undertaking
over the bong trail, and the wonder is
that Gibson's club has held such an
even stride. Fine spirit and ball play =
Ing skill are the two responsible elements
Only So Much
THE human system can stand only SC
L much. The limit is always in the
offing. Jock Hutchison began his rip
roaring campaign early in March. The
British champion trod various com
petitive fields under foot until at last
he reached his fastest pace at st.
Andrews.
That was the crest Of his form. After
this triumph a natural reaction was due.
Being human he could 60 only so far.
The same break surrounds Tilden
He had come to top form too long ago
to be at his best at Wimbledon. There
he had a close call over a good tennis
player, but one hardly calculated to
press the champion at his best. Tilden,
overtrained, was merely in the act oil
