GIRLS AND MARRIAGE
Inst Temporary Arrangement, Ac~
 nnrdinr fn One of Them

Just A Temporary ArfahSe"c"' NA
 cOrding to One of Them
 The young woman-she cannot exactly be named as the heroine of this episode from real life IS now on her honeymoon. It would never do to mention her name, for sas may change her views, ana those she frankly expressed at a gather ing of her girl friends shortly be- fore her marriage, it is to be hoped. may never reach the ears or her young husband. It is enough to say that she belongs to one Of the lead ing families of America ana the m portance of her remarks IS that they reflect the atmosphere of the society in which she was reared and. coming from a girl not yet out of her "teens," furnish an example for the serious consideration or right minded folk.
 You know, girls, I have no lIlu- sions about marriage" she said. can even say that I have only friendship for the man l am going to marry. l don't expect that I shall live with him any great length of time-possibly two or three years at the most. Before I die I prob ably shall nave three or four hus- bands, and as for children, l have not made up my mind about them.
 One of the girls at the antenuptial party was so upset by what the bride be said that she went diz rectly to her own father, who is of the old school, carefully wrote down the words as repeated to him in his note book from which they came fresh into this agreed-upon form for publication. He felt that it was news-news of what environment and the example of parents can harmfully do to the mind of child in it's plastic period.-New York Let ter to the Philadelphia Public

which marked his play before the
serious loss in the operation.

'sOf course my speed is much re,
cuoed at present in playing the ball
off the ground and in service, but /
lind each succeeding match gives me
added speed and greater confidence.

rilden said there was a slight hurt
IN the finger while playing certain
shots, such as returning a hard hit
ball However, he believed this was
moro psychological. due to the know.
ledge that the tip OF tho finger was
missing, rather than to any actual
pain.
Certainly none Of the spectators at
the match had any thought that TIL.
den noticed the loss of the finger. He
played with the greatest confidence
and ease and altho Hunter put up a
hard fight. the champion was never
forced to extend himself.
Tilden's appearance here is his first
public match since the operation.

Matchmaking IS
HARD, FL0URNOY
Iust Ask Official of Madison
Square Garden If You Think
It's Easy.
BY HARRY

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.5(Special.@
The job of matchmaker at a fight
club is about tho worst punishment
any man had ever wished on him. II
you don't think 50, Just step in on
Frank Flournoy in Madison Square
Garden some afternoon and watch
the usually affable Frank go through
his stunts of matching a brace of
boxers.
However, we would sugges that
before o step in on Frank you
might try TO discover exactly what
kind of mood he happens to be. in.
lust as likely as not he is in the
throes OF despair trying to sign up
some pug, and il he is you had better
take the back door for 1t and trip In
some other day.
Sweet Disposition Soured.
Dealing with boxers and
is a tough job. Before Mr.. Flournoy
had his present job wished on him he
was the most affable southern gentle
man you could hope to find. The en-
tire world was about right with
Frank. but now the world is in a rut
and there is another side to Franks
nature he lever knew he possessed.
Nearly every fighter has an exag
gerated opinion of his own ability,
and in addition his demands for the
most part are usually out of all pro.
portion. That is what makes 1t tough
on the matchmaker. Then. another
thing with the boxer or manager.
you must not try to drop him Into any
hard spots. He ANTS easy picking
all the time. Champions are the
worst offenders. as Mr.. F%lournoy is
prepared to testify.
First of all. you try to sign up one
of those champs and he insists on
picking an opponent that wouldn't
draw flies at the box office. That
isn't all. In his modest way he will
of so per cent Of the house for his
trouble. n II you are moi careful
with him he will ask hat you throw
in part of the building to boot.
OF course. o give that bird the
air, but the next customer you go to
work on is not one bit easier in his
demands. So It goes for seven days
every week. trying to make up a com
plete program for one nights show.
Managers Mere Office Boys.
Another thing the matchmaker has
to contend with. Most of the present
day managers are managers in name
only. They cannot sign up for their
boxers before they consult them us to
the terms, and as to who and what
their prospective opponent amounts
II the opponent selected is a.
rough customer. Mr.. Boxer tells his
manager so and threatens him with
the gate.
Can you imagine a manager of the
old school being compelled to consult
his charge before making a match?
Not on your lifei The manager OF
other days made the match and told
his boxer to p for tho fuss and
dldr't bother about telling him who
his opponent might be.
Yes, indeed. II there is anything

tougher in this world than the job OF
matchmaker. Mr.. Flournoy hasn't
found 1t out. There is no letup to the
work. Scarcely have you prepared

Americas athletic development,
considered from the standpoint of or.
%sanization; has taken a tremendous
boon in the last year. Less than n
year old. the National Amateur Ath.
,ietic federation already has placed the
United States close to the front ranks
numerically. by aIlying all the scat
tored and conflicting sports governing
bodies.
In the membership Of organizations
already members of the federation are
close TO 10000 Doc athletes. and when
the various other organizat ons which
are waiting to ratify the proposition
20 jon the federation come in, more
shan 100000 athletes will be IN
Guided.
Tho rapid organization of state fed
,rations to work with and under the
direction of the National federation IS
proceeding and. although the compre
hensive program and plan of extend
ng athletics to every town and ham
'et is only n month old. off cially, al
ready nine states have commenced
organization by allying all existing
athletic agencies.
Great Preparedness Move.
The federation really g the biggest
preparedness move the United States
ever has made. II was urged by h
secretary Of war. Endorsed by the sec
rotary Of the navy n a the back

Athletics in short, is adopted as n sub

and already the United States

Of athletes enrolled; and they lead
because of their system of universal
training which was adopted as a semi.
military move
Great Britain. without compulsory

system of subsidies and aid to sports
while Norway. with universal athle.-
cs. and Sweden. with a MODIFIED sys
