a rev weeks ago One-tentn OF TINS
number could have been lined up
against the piayer-writers move
n1ent. No doubt the cfean-cut and
sportsnanlike statement issued by
Tilden had much to do with win.
ming him the support OF the dele
gates.
1t Is said that canvas OF the
various clubs of the local district
shows a strong sentiment In favor
OF abolishing the present player
writer rule and going back to the
safe and sane Interpretation that
was placed upon amateur1Sm before
the rules committee put through Ito
unpopular legislation at the last
meeting OF the United States Lawn
Tennis Association.
What Is more, those who have
travelled through the West, South
and along the Pacific Coast state
that all fans In these sections OF
the country are up In aruls
against the Interpretation Of the
amateur rule which goes into ef.
feet next January.
In view OF these reports it is only
w. Wightman relieve himself Of the
responsibility by calling meeting
of the executive committee to lay
plans for a special gathering Of the
part body. If the executive COM
mittee does not take immediate
action 1t is likely that some Of those
who are most bitter against the
officials of the U. 8. L. +. A. will
take steps to form another body
to take over the control OK tennis,
Such action would bring about d
condition of affairs that would work
against the best interests OF the
game. However. unless those in
authority give the majority q
chance to voice their opinions in a
gathering of the entire body an
instruction IN likely to take place.
President Wightman and his
aides have had plenty of time to
sound out public opinion. The;
must know that the fans sympa.
thize with Tilden and his player.
writer mates. Knowing this, it IL
only right that the necessary action
be taken to wipe the unpopular
legislation from the books and re.
store the game to Its, former place.
No sport can expect to thrive
that runs against public approval.
Tilden and his supporters have
demonstrated beyond the perad-
venture Of q doubt the player.
writer Interpretation that was
voted at the last meeting Of the
United States Lawn Tennis As.
ISOLATION was one Of the most un.
popular pieces Of legislation ever
put across In the history Of the
sports in this country.
To leave It remain in the book
of rules would not only work a
grave hardship upon Tilden and
the other players who write for a
livelihood, but 1t would soon sap
the strength out OF the game OF
tennis so that It would soon lose
its grip upon the public.
Sport fans are the first 10 frown
upon one taking an unfair advan.
tage OF another. To rule Tildpn
and his mates out OF the ranks Of
amateurism would be to commit
not only an unsportsmanship act,
but would be considered by the un.
prejudiced as an unfair action by
few In authority.

Golf Discovered A
Builder Of
Morality.

Some one is forever finding
something new in golf. Coun-
selor Gates, Of the Western Golf
Association, has discovered that
it has an overwhelming influence
for social and moral good. He
points out that no one ever
knew q crook who was a true
golfer or a true golfer who was
crook. The only crooks in the
game are the dog-Ieg holes and
the necks of gooseneck putters.
I'VE have learned from years
OF experience" says Mr.. Gates,
that golf builds not only health
Of body but uprightness Of mind
and morality Of man. Every
citizen is worthy as neighbor
II he plays golf, for many years
OF study have shown that the
game has something in it that
irons out any native tendency to
be crooked"

YOU believe it. Well put in a safe
bet that Geraldine Farrar sat con-
tentedly munching broiled live
lobster as she gaZed over the hills
of Maine, Tuesday morning. en-

Bangor. And we place our safe bet,
thusly: Her chef was seen dashing
madly up and down the station plat
form, Tuesday morning before the
dispatch of the regular up river
train, trailing one of Augustus
prominent fish dealers. Upon the ar
rival OF the westbound train the
chef was then seen, not quite so agi-
tated, but grasping huge squirming
green lobster, right behind the look
ers. The last seen Of the chef. he
was headed for Jerry's car, which
was at the siding, waiting to be put
onto the regular eastbound train.

Salvation Army
Dollar Does Much
In Worthy Cause

Although the Salvation Army has
been said by some worldwide OBJ
servers to have built it's house in
the street of poverty, where all
sorts OF men walk by, its efficiency
in handling work for the needy has
brought it the commentator of the
rich.
All business men are familiar with
the phrase overhead" as applied
to business. The Salvation Army has
the lowest overhead of any similar
organization. A dollar spent with
the Salvation Army goes father than
a dollar spent anywhere else.
Among the wealthy women who
have identified themselves with the
Army work is the Hon. Anne Bar
bara Kinnaird. oldest daughter of
Lord Kinnaird. Her father is a
director of Barclay & Co.'S bank
and president of the British Y. NJ.
c. A. She is a captain and an en-
thusiastic worker in the slums of
London. She gladly exchanges a
mansion in the fashionable West
End for a small room in a back
street in Barking in order to be
among the poor.
There are many women in this
country OL lucciuS-"H o
are affiliated with the Salvation
Army work, and are giving their
lives under it's banner. But If one
is so situated that he or she can
not give a life OF labor, 1t is possible
to give money to aid the work.
Large contributions are welcome,
though the small ones are no less
blessing to the work, especially
where they involve sacrifice on the
part of the donor, and there are
many in Augusta, Hallowell and
Gardiner who are denying them

To Watch Stamps

First Assistant Postmaster John
III. Bartlett has addressed a letter to
the postmasters of the larger post
Offices, authorizing the designation
of an employee at each post office
to be assigned exclusively to see
ing that all mail dispatched from
an Office bears the proper amount of
postage. These instructions promul-
gated in consequence of inconveni-

showing that frequent mailings are

1t is. believed assignment of the
