No Worlds Net Champion
This Year Without T;lden

There will be no worlds tennis
champion this year, now that the
United States Lawn Tennis associa-
ton has decided not to send Will
liam T. Tilden II to Wimbledon.
1t is a peculiar situation which
the American organization has cre-
ated by its steadfast refusal to recog-
nize the Wimbledon champion as
the worlds best. Because when an
American won the British title the
U. S. L. T. A. could not consistent
ly call him worlds champion either,
although the British did. The Ameri-
can association insisted that he was
merely the American champion and
champion of England.
There will be new British cham
pion this year, but he will hardly be
worlds champion without meeting
and defeating Tilden.

"KID" sCHLAIFER,
The Flushing kibltxer.
'NHIS was the opening day of the
Roughtown baseball stuff. Pco-
pie gathered from far and near.
Far Rockaway and near beer.
Nobody knew what it was all
about, but they were glad it wasn't
twins. Kink Foler blew the whistle
that started the season and called the
cops at the same time.
When the mayor of Roughtown
was given the ball to throw out, he
took it on the lamm. Six thou
sand infuriated Boy Scouts stepped
off after him, but couldn't drag him
away from the trophy.
With the baseball missing, it was
decided to play the season out with
bats alone.
When the gong rang for the
grand opening of Roughtown's ma
tional game, the West Horrors had
three men on base. Nobody knew
how they got here. Gink was UNI
piring to the best of his ability,
but he never knew how to handle a
situation. He lost more situations
than a fresh office boy.
The Roughtown pitcher picked
up an official bat and threw it in
a nasty manner. 1t was an out
shoot. He was very wild and the
first batter took his base on bats.
Then an infeld bat was knocked
at the catcher, who fumbled it. The
Roughtown outfeld caught a high
bat that almost went over Gink's
dome.
1t was the first time that game
had ever been played with bats
alone. History was being cooked up.
At this stylish moment, Rough
town was a bag Of bats to the
bad. The faithful fans each grabbed
themselves bludgeon and went out
to save the biscuits.
They attracted Gink's attention by
tapping politely on his skull. Gink
strolled off to rescue Stanley in
darkest Africa.
One nimble addict autographed
Gink's eye with 10 cents worth OF
lumber and Gink handed him back
testimonial cobblestone.
The season was opened.

The Washington times., 1922-11-12

Blenheim Palace was restored in the
most artistic manner with the Duchess's
money. The Marlborough family had not
owned London house for years and the
Duchess built for them the finest modern
house in London.
the Duchess won the esteem of the King
and Queen and the most prominent mem
bers of society. She became an active
philanthropist, member of the London
County Council and was much loved by
the working classes. The Duke, on the
other hand, was not generally liked. Cold,
cynical disagreeable, insignificant In aps
pearance, he could never gain much
popularity.
Il seems that as the Duchess gained 30.
cial and general popularity the Duke grew
colder and colder to her. The reports Of
his behavior toward her almost reached
the incredible. She was somewhat deaf
in one ear, and society gossips averred
that he made this an excuse for shouting
unpleasant things at her in loud voice.
He was away from home a great deal,
spending much of his time in Paris, and
il was understood that he amused himself
in any way that pleased him.. giving the
Duchess no opportunity. to share In his
pleasures, even II she had wished to do 20.
In 1909 they separated formally under
a private agreement and remained sep
arated until 1919. Then the Duchess
begged him to live at home again just for
the sake Of their children. He agreed 70
do so, but left. her home again at the end
OF a month. He went away Without say
