FALLS
HARD IN TENNIS
EFFORTS
L and Where Game First DeveI-
oped Drops Behind in
Recent Years.

No resident of the British Isles
has won the All-English lawn ten
mis- championship for fourteen
years.
And not for eleven years has an
Englishman, outside the colonies,
been in the final round.
The last Briton to win was A.
w. Gore in 1909, and the same
player was runner-up to Anthony
F. Wilding. the great Australian,
in 1912.
This shows the astounding state
nf British tennis where the game
first developed and which up to
this year annually staged what IS
known as the championship OF the
world.
The year 1910 began the reign
of Wilding as champion for four
straight years. Then came Nor
man E. Brookes, another Austria
liam. The war years saw no tour
nament, but in 1919 Gerald l..
Patterson won, followed by Viii
liam T. Tilden for two years, Pat
terson again last year and now
William NJ Johnston.

GOLF
CHARGED Of
AMERICANS
British Observe That Uncle

tematize Game.

Temperament wins more .solf
championships than skill and good
puts win more than long drives.
The national open at Inwood will
prove this. Steadiness will Offset
brilliancy over long stretch OF
competition, but occasional brides
add considerable decoration to a
score in an open championship.
1t has been observed in England
since the British open that the
American players are too intense
and scientific IN their golf. They
play games over there on the
principle that the more games they
play and the less they watch others
play, the better 1t is for a nation
devoted to sport.
The Westminster Gazette points
out that Americans play golf with
mathematical precision and like to
run up to the green with diabolical
accuracy of distance and direction.
This determinedness to exhaust
every device of scientific thought
end expedient makes the American
dabble in strange clubs. They are
an inventive race in pleasure as
In business and so we have a club
crisis with almost every American
invasion.
1T is the player that counts
more than the club. Here the
Americans bring quality which
merits unqualified admiration.
THE Americans keep themselves
fit by regular habits Of practice
and life: they resist nerves by the
exercise of a will power NJ. Cove
would praise.
'They play their own game in
their own way and if it is not the
fine free careless rapture of most
of our cracks. it is exactly what
we should expect from land
where prohibition was largely an
efficiency gospel"

Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, and
Walter Hagen were paired today. 1

me after his second round at Skokie
that the spectators simply rushed
him down, after he had played his
second shots, in their desire to get
to the putting green's in time to
get good places to see the play.
Hagen and Sarazen continue to
rule favorites as plays start.

President Wilkinson called on C.

talk on matters pertaining to the
sugar beet price as viewed by the beet
growers in this section. Mr.. Robson
explained the situation from the

reasons why the growers were not
satisfied with the 1928 beet contract
as recently announced by the Great
Western Sugar Company. He gave a
report of the sugar beet meeting held

Further Beet Pay
ments to Be Expected

Prospects that beet growers of
Colorado will receive another bonus
of dollar or more a ton for the 1922
crop of sugar beets seemed brighter
today, in the light of an advance of
$1.25 hundredweight in sugar pric-
es at San Francisco on Monday. The
advance brought the seaboard price
to $50 for beet sugar.
An announcement from the office
of the Great Western Sugar COM
pany at Denver, issued February 10,
stated that at the then existing sea-
board price of $715 the growers
should receive an additional payment
of more than dollar ton under the
sliding scale contract covering the
1922 crop. The recent advances may,
of course, be temporary, but the pres
ent season is usually a dull one in the
sugar market and it is stated that the
advances are believed to indicate a
permanent trend that will prove of
large benefit to the beet growers.
The Cuban sugar crop only recent
ly has been placed on the market An
unexpected buying power in Europe,
it is said, has opened an export mar
ket for this sugar which has relieved
the markets Of an expected surplus.
The Great Western company has
Approximately half Of the 1929 out
put of sugar still on hand, it is stat
ed. The sliding scale contract pro-
vides that beet growers shall be paid
on the basis of the average price re-
ceived by the. company for its sugar
during the year. Should prices re-
main as now, or continue to advance
as now seems probable, growers may
anticipate "bonus" of 81 or more.
1t is possible that the additional pay
ments might run as high as 50 or
more.
The Sterling factory of the Great
Western company now is shipping
from six to ten cars of sugar daily.

past seasons output of the factory.
