TENNIS EXPERTS

Fred Hawthorne, in Leslies
 The tremendous increase in popu- lar attachment to tennis the world over in the last score of years, since Dwight F. Davis of St. Louls placee the trophy that bears his name in competition, may be appreciated when if is realized that twelve nations have been competing this summer for the great silver bowl. These nations are, Scattered over the surface Of the ,Eiobe, from Australasia on the "un- der side" of the world, to little Bel gium. the, real "cock pit" of Europe in the World war.
 Distant South Africa. France, the British Isles, Canada, Denmark. Spain India. the land of teeming millions Japan and that new born nation Czecho -Slovakia. all these sent in their formal challenges for the Davis cup. and now the struggle has mar rowed down to a survival of the fittest.
 These challenge round matches have always been scenes to stir the blood of lawn tennis players and fol- lowers. The thousands in the stands come away with the general feeling that the men who make up these Davis cup teams live in an atmos- phere % adulation, and in world where all they hear is the praise of their less fortunate fellow men.
 And yet how far from the actual truth this opinion is'
 The general public that follows 7 tennis sees only one side of the pie ture. the romance the chivalry, the heroic side. Behind the scenes there is another picture. in which the halo is torn aside. and the flags, the music and the general exaltation of playing before, huge and enthusiastic gal lery are lacking.

EUROPEAN NATIONS RESTORING GRAF I TAKEN DURING WAR
Hines Praises Disposition of Countries to Cooperate In Redistribution of
 River Vessels
Ry Associated Pres.

Paris, October 1.-Walker D. Hines of New York city, arbitrator of river shipping in Europe, who is about to return to the United States, says he has found that the countries involved in his redistribution of river craft are showing a gratifying disposition to cooperate in putting his decisions into effect.
 MT Hines was director general Of railroads in the United States in 1913 and. 1920. and quit that post to accept appointment by President Wilson to his present position. He has just been conducting a hearing in Europe with reference to his decision given Au- gust g. allocating the shipping on in ternational rivers in Europe, such as the Danube, Rhine and Elbe.
 The hearing was attended by repre- sentatives of Jugoslavia, Czecho-Slo- vakia, Rumania, Germany, Austria and Hungary.
 In the course of a brief address at the close of the hearing, MT. Hines expressed his qualification to see such a spirit of accord and his hope for a speedy resumption of commercial m tercourse among the nations on the Danube. The arbitrator's Danube decision confirmed a large number of cap lures made by Jugoslavia and Ru- mania during the war. but directed that 50,164 tons of barges and certain other boats which had been seized during, the war should be returned by those two countries to Austria ana Hungary
 Although the decision gave the countries in question until October 7 to return these boats, the arbitrator was ratified to learn that Jugoslayia had already begun redeliyering the boats and that Rumania was making arrangements to make deliveries promptly.
 MT. Hines determination also re- quired Germany, Austria and Hungary to cede 70,S61 tons of barges and 3.Sev horse power of tugs to Czecho-S Sio- vakia, and to cede certain passenger vessels to Czecho- -Slovakia, jugo- Slavia and Rumania by November <
 The three countries which are 10 receive the boats readily acceded to the suggestion made by Germany Austria and Hungary that 1t would De in the interest of navigation on tue river. in order not to interfere wltn the highly important movement oi crops during the fall, to postpone the delivery of these boats until the eno of the navigation season, propaoiy some time in December.
