messed by Those Who Happened
to Be on Grounds

Tennis is gaining great popularity
in this country. A few years ago the

veranda steps were the galleries.
Now stadiums are erected TO accom-
mOdate the fans and the unprecedent-
ed number of 1900 seats were built
to seat the enthusiasts at the recent
Davis cup matches.

One reason for baseball'S wide ap-

and more, too, perhaps. simply by
studying the averages of the players
One doesn't have to see man play to

can know that by looking over their
batting and fielding averages. No 9TH

THE QUEST FOR GOLD

Canadian Indians recently brought
word from the far north of a river
Of gold, with the inevitable result
that rush OF prospectors has start
ed northward.
Not all OF those who joined the
California gold rush in 40 struck it
rich, and many of those who went
to Alaska on the same quest suf-
fered privation and want only to
come back empty handed and broken
hearted. Not few died without
seeing the glitter Of gold.
Men have been hunting gold since
the dawn of history, yet only a few
thousand tons Of the precious metal
are on the earth's surface to-day.
Not one In hundred Of the seekers
ever find the gold hoard.
The truth is that real gold mines
are not necessarily in far of places.
but right here at home, where are
opportunities by far than those to be
encountered in passing streams in
strange lands for money making.
Only. too many of US cast aside as
worthless the real fortunes at hand.
or to be made at home, to follow
the lure that turns out to be but a
mirage.

A GAME FOB GRAND DUKES

Russian imperialists in France,
waiting for the downfall Of Lenine
and the restoration Of the czarist
regime, are INDUCING In bitter
controversy over the succession to
the throne.
One faction supports the Grand
Duke Cyril and another supports the
Grand Duke .Dimitri, both predicted
OF course, upon the assumption that
the Grand Duke Michael, brother Of
the late Car, IL dead.
Just what are the merits Of the
respective claims OF Cyril and Dim
itri are not quite clear. but 1t Is
hardly a practical question at the
moment for anybody except the Rus
sian imperilists, to whom nobody
will be disposed seriously to deny
the harmless sport of quarreling over
a succession which will never have
any real significance
The sports of the grand dukes In
exile need not cause anybody the
slightest anxiety.
A more Insignificant lot than those
scions OF the house OF Romanoff,
since they were cut off from connec-
ton with the imperial treasury, can
not easily be conceived, and If they
want to make faces at each other
over the question Of which might be

Noises Made by Elephants.

The elephant uses both his trunk
and his lungs in calling. and he has
q large variety of sounds and COM
binatiOns Of sound with which to ex-
press himself. writes Charles Mayer In
Asia Magazine. When rushing an en-.
envy he trumpets shrilly. when enrageG
by wounds he grumbles hOarsely from
his throat; he expresses fear by
shrill, brasSy trumpet and a roar;
and pleasure by continued low
sqneaktng through his trunk.
When apprehensve of danger OF
when attempting to intimidate an en-
emy he raps the end Of his trunk
smartly on the ground and trumpets.
The peculiar noise sounds like that
produced by the rolling up of a sheet
of tin.
In a moment Of danger. the elephant
coils his trunk to protect 1t from in,
jury. When he is engaged In heavy
work, such as piling lumber. he may
use his trunk to balance the load he
is carrying on his tusks. but never to
bear part Of the burden. If an unhar-
messed elephant must pull rope. he
holds II in his mouth. taking good care
to keep his trunk out of the way.
