Nation Can't Pay
In his message to the house Presi.
dent Harding based his veto on the
bonus largely on the ground OF the
failure OF congress to provide a method
Of financing and the consequent heavy
drain it would prove on the treasury.
He made 1t clear that the interest on
the foreign debt could not be relied up
on, asserting that even taking into
account such payments as were likely
10 be received from that source the
treasury faced a deficit OF $3.50 900 900
this fiscal year and an even greater
shortage In the succeeding year.
The president declared that enactmen,

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Tennis has
made such remarkable advancement
among American bows that European
experts predict the United States will
have to work. almost on handicap
basis in the international tournament
in 1880.
While the boys of the United States
are far more advanced in the game
than the youngsters of other countries,
the tennis governing body here is doing
more and more to promote develop
ment of the kid 5 game.
William M. Dunklin, tennis enthus-
last of Forest Hills has offered $3.50
challenge cup for the New York boys
championships and he is willing to
offer another cup for the national
championship and one for a world $ in
ternational championship.
Through the interest taken by
George Agutter, It's professional in
struetor the West Side Tennis Club of
Forrest Hills is leading the way in
The development of boy players.
Four boys now PLAYING at the club
Johnny MILAN, IA; Stewart Cav
ness, 13: Ogden Phipps, 3 and Johnny
Piitman, II, are SO good that AGutter
s7Ts he win match them against any
fopr hoy players in tie world.
Through an interseefionai, inter-citv
or inter state boys match Agutter
hopes to be able to start an annual
tournament that will class with the
Al-Comers championship in the men s
class.
Much of the credit for the rapid
progress paade BIZ American bows is
due To William 7. Tilden. the national
champion. TilaeH has ALWAYS taken
sn interest in bows and he has devel-
oned some Of the best young PLAYERS
falav. Vincent Richards is one of
Ti1en's pupils and he has all the
II aHlss Of a coming champion if he IS
net close 70 that point now.
Golf also is becoming more and
more of a voupg fellows game. Gene
Sarazen, the q year old American
open champion and Walter Hagen,
british open champion. express the
opinion that the day is close at hand
when the Young players will be su-
TTeme on the golf course.
Sarazen S victory At S1okie in a field
of veteran STARS is expected to have
big psychological effect on the game
of some of the other young players

era of age is sung annually around
the baseball parks but more than.
songs are needed to get Ty Cobb,
Walter Johnson, Babe Adams, Jak Dau

old men out of the way for the kids.
The use of the lively ball has done
a lot to extend the career of some of
