There is modicum OF truth in
Wightman's logic, and, as it appears,
more than a modicum of false rea-
soning: The problem Wightman pre-
sents is this: Shall we be content to
bring American tennis to the level
of mediocrity, or to develop the game
to its very highest notch?
II men such as Tilden, Vincent
Richards and others who could not
devote the time they do to the game
save by virture of their present ac-
tivitieS are debarred. then only those
who are endowed with money will
he able to give to the game that
amount Of time and attention that
are necessary for the highest devel-
onr ont Thus the term amateurism
might well come to connote nothing
save wealth. Which would not be
al all good thing.
An Inyincibie Few.
Again. the fear that from ten to
twenty men who are invincible in
lawn tennis will be developed need
not be regarded as grave future
possibility. We already have such a
group developed under amateur con-
ditions which have applied tor al
least have been accepted by all save
Tilden, the champion; Vincent Rich
ards, who ranks number four in the ma
final rating; Carl Fisher, number
seven, and one or two others.
Tilden and Richards and the rest
who became player writer's did not
develop their game because of the
money they made out: of it. That
rame-as it does to all who write
or profit in other ways through ten
nts-after they had attained star
dom. In other words, they had the
instinct and the fundamental quail
tiles for supremacy in the game and
their articles on tennis developed
merely as by-product. There will
always be a group of tennis players
who are invincible-savc when they
play one another-no matter what
rules are applied in the interest of
amateurism.
As matter of fact. since we have
no leisure class in this country, it is
time we took up this question OF
amat eurism and construed il i'll d sane
manner designed to benefit the many
and not the few.

RENEW FIGHT ON

Senate Debates Nomination Of

WASHINGTON, Feb. ,1S-The fight over the nomination of, Walter l.. Co., hen, negro, to be comptroller of GUS toms at New Orleans, was renewed to- day in the Senate, with the prospect of a decision. Senators Ransdell and Broussard, democrats, Louisiana,. re- newed their objections to Cohen's ap- pointment, on the ground that the nom- inee is personally obnoxious to them.
 Cohen, who farmerly was chairman of the republican state committee in Louisiana, was nominated by President Harding, but the Louisiana Senators succeeded in blocking his confirmation at the last session of Congress. He was renominated early in this session hy President Coolidge. There was a long discussion as to precedents upon which might be based an unfavorable vote on the ground of nominee being personally obnoxious to a Senator.
