Tennis, the International Game

- AAAAA'a SaA~ AAAsS&AISAkI0EI$af &1aETfS
Any one who would have predicted
q decade or SO ago that tennis would
become the chief international test,
bringing more nations face to face
than any other sport, would have
been a wild optimist. Yet SO the
Davis Cup contests have resulted. 1t
is to-day the one universal game.
widely and well played around the
world.
Golf is headed toward q similar
universally. Small boat sailing
gives promise of contests for many
Of the. seven seas. The athletic
events which make up the Olympic
games are familiar wherever there
are athletics. Aside from these and
tennis, the best known sports are
largely national in their character.
and international Journeys among
many nations are out of the ques-
ton. Baseball remains essentially
American, despite the growing in
terest in it from Japan to France.
Cricket is correspondingly British,
following the British flag around the
world. There is much football
played, but too many forms of the
game have developed to make any
one an international contest. France
and England, to be sure, have en-
tered upon international soccer
matches amid much excitement and
success. Big football matches be-
tween England and America remain
out of the question. Pelota and bull
nghtlng seem to be Spanish sports
ana have never spread far from the
Mediterranean or countries like Mex-
leo and the Argentine, where the
Spanish tradition is strong.
Past international ventures IN
sport will lead any one to be modest
IN hoping for mutual understanding
based on such visiting and rivairies.
The best tennis player or the best
athlete IN any field is not necessarily
the best international representative.
On the side Of the spectators every
nation has much to learn about
craftsmanship, as the Australian
criticism of Wimbledon manners tes-
titles. But If the nations are ever
going to learn 20 live together In
mutual forbearance, these interna-
tlonal games are surely a step in
the right direction.
Real differences exist among The
characters and temperaments and
customs of nations, and there ia no
use pretending that all men are
alike. But we can learn to respect
these differences and not treat with
provincial scorn everybody who
wears different cut Of coat fron,
our own and makes sounds when he
talks that seem just as queer to us
as our talk seems to him. The more
International sports the better. The

The Clear Case of France

To the. Editor Of The Tribune.
2 Sir: Among the New York daiIie.
The Tribune is by far the most lust
and best informed paper. in both do
mestic and foreign news. Although s
Democrat, have, always been inspired
by your sound national and interna,
tional policies, and I admire your spirit
OF independence in dealing with youl
own party. I also. admire your sense OF
fairness toward deserving Democratic
Office holders.
But what deserves most praise in
your presentation of daily news. is
your stand in favor of France against
her unscrupulous Teuton neighbor
England is wavering and our own dea,
country seems indifferent toward the
French Republic in its serious most.
war problems. You are right in saving
that the drop Of the, mark is not due
to the paltry reparation sums paid So
Tar by Germany. The fall of the mark
through the use, OF rather abuse, of the
pruning press z is a voluntary act OF
dishonesty by Germany. The latte,
fought the war by Unfair and criminal
methods; she likewise tries to win the
peace by the same dishonorable means
so far Germany has paid little owe,
haif billion dollars for reparations
while devastated France could spent
sixteen times the same amount in re.
constructing her destroyed towns ant
villagesl
The best proof Of Germany's dishon.
esty is the fact that the bankers re.
fused her little loan Of $1,000, 600 600
while In 1871 the bankers offered
France. $1,000. 100000 to enable her e
pay rapacious Prussia. The 1871 loan
offered now would amount to at leas,
s2o 900 100000. The world does no,
trust Germany any more than it doe.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James ]. Montague
Perhaps He Troubles You


I never need consult q clock
To know when it Is dawn.
I waken with a sudden shock
All chance Of slumber gone
When, on the next adjoining
block,
Somebody rnows his lawn.
I don't know when the fellow
sleeps,
For every single day.
From 4 to 6 he always reaps
His adolescent hay,
While his incessant racket keeps
My sweet repose away.
Perhaps he needs the exercise.
But that | rather doubt,
For he's q chap of massive size
And muscular and stout
A man unsafe to criticize
And dangerous to flout.
I'm sure that it would not be-
hoove
A man as slim as ]
To go around there and reprove
This sleep-destroying guy;
So shall either have to move
Or wait for him to die!

The Helpful Hen
0 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | noticed your editorial on
the helpful hen. / want to tell YOU
of one other such.
My small daughter, unused to farm
yard ways, has just learned to put her
hand bravely under the hens and ge,
their eggs. Yesterday she rushed into
the kitchen and breathlessly an
riounced: "oh, there is hen out
here laying eggs rapidlyi" and she
produced three taken from this as
tonishing hen.
No doubt 1T is to such as this that
we owe the reduced prices.
