n the Giants Big Stick in Games Thus F
Back TO Morning


Let's ~ hack to Morning from the
TwHight and the Shddop,
Where the sunrise floods the upland
aud the ralley ,cinds IN blue,
Where the gicam is on the tchite thorn
and the lark is in the meddoW,
And the RorerS bv the ,Davsido bend
beneath dd,cns silver dep.
We hare passed the noon Of battle
.nhcrc the gray dusk gathers orcr
And the night Of doubt hangs hodrv
IN the gloom of uanishcd faith;
We turn to lonesome moorinndS phcrc
the bloom has ieH the clover,
And the dreams TC kncW al sunrise
are bHt phdntomS of q Urdith.
But out the road behind us there's n
hdppv roice, clear calling.
In song OF yOuth and beauty pith
a hope Of joy and truth,
And little boy is laughing uhere the
sHrcr light is falling
In CLEAN OF purple magic on the
golden dreams of youth.
The great night SringS above as wherc
the Shddors peer rih PITY
Through the lodfcSS branches stcdy-
ing up ADORE silent stream.
DWi IHf - UJlt Ul1lUS come UiCuUlNU UlIN
whiSpcr through the city
To come again to Morning, il ifS
oHiy in dream.
The Big Invasion
CMALl. wonder that one Jonathan
~ Bull is dashing around in circles to
set his athletic house in order as he
completes the final dcfcnses of his be-
leagured nation.
Within the next fortnight or so the
AlbioniC echoes will resound to the trend
Of Dcvcreux Milburn. Rumsey, Hitch :
cock. Stoddard, Webb and Strawbridge
in polo garb; Bill Tilden and Mrs. NAL
lOry "Chicks" Evans, Francis Oui-
Platt, Aexa Stirling, Marion Hollins
and still others. Noe to forget Barnes,
Hagen and the pro team.
Mlburn. Evans. Ouimet, Jones, Til
den. Alcxa Stirling, Mrs. Mallory
at least Uncle Sam hasn't piked in
picking his invading talent. He has
sent his best to look after the greatest
international five weeks In sport his
tOry-thc five weeks between May 23
and June %, when the British Isles will
be vcritabc turmoil.
Those who are now over, and who are
soon to start are our leading actors at
golf. polo and tennis. If they cant
break through. we don't see what can
be done about it. except to wait an
other year and try again.
Advance Prospects
TIiE advance chatter on the situation
i leaves the status of both countries
at about 30 80.
BY what route do we arrive at that
destination (slang for How do we get
that way ,?
Niz.-Bil Tildcn will be big favor
ite in the British tennis championship.
Defending his title. he should be
odds on Not Cinch. already wrapped
up and delivered but who is good
enough to stop him?
That gives us the jump.
Now. as 10 amateur golf. Uncle
Sam is content to rest his case with
Evans. Ouimct and Jones. j. Bull, un-
beaten for seventeen years, believes he
can locate defender from Tolley,
Wcthered, jenkins, Scott, Iiolderness,
I.ockhart, Armour and eight or ten
others of equal skill.
!. Bull is pretty certain that Dun
can. Mitchell, Ray. Nardon, Taylor,
Herd. Braid, etc, will be strong enough
TO rcpc our attack at st. Andrews.
But his golf margin, both ways lama
teur and professionally, isn't quite 20
decisive looking as our tennis mar
gin is.
Then we come to polo. The British
team has had more international com
pctitive experience it will be playing
npon home ficld--two factors that are
! important. But rs seven years have
passed since the two countries last met
in this enterprise. the outcome remains
hazy. Few seem to have any fixed
