Has Failed to Attract.
There are a few professional tennis
players in this country today, and
some of them are very expert indeed.
Yet they have never made much
money. This is because, first of all
the public is not greatly interested
in professional tennis players and.
second. the teaching OF the net game
may not be classed among the gain

his own style of game and do very

upon his coordination of eye and

All in all, the great lure OF tennis

Whether or not, however, the Rick
ard project played any part in
strengthening Tilden in his attitude
toward the United States Tennis AS
sociation may not be said.
Something to Consider.
The great thing that Tilden, Rich
ards and other players who may be
contemplating going in for pro Sen-
mis- should consider is this: Rickard is
a professional show man, sort of cir
Gus promoter. who would follow the
teachings of past experiences in launch
ing his enterprise.
The public to whom his methods
might appeal would be public that
neither knows nor cares anything
about tennis. The real tennis loving
public, an amateur following, if there
ever was one, would be more than
likely to resent professional exploit
tation of their favorite game. or, at
least. would not be greatly Interested
Tilden and Richards playing against
each other in a series OF Journeys
would not be much of an attraction,
so far as those who know tennis are
concerned, because they know that
Tnden is a greater player than Rich
ards and can defeat him any time he

The tendency with the average
golfer i'll iron play is to stand too
far away from the ball and thus
pull his shot This allows too
much scope for the elbows; in other
words, the elbows are not kept close

should be kept close to the body

FLOUR FOR MILLIONS
 MADE IN. MINNEAPOLIS
Manufactured Enough Of Product to Feed an Approximately 3t.000.-
 900 People.

Minneapolis, March 14.-Minneap- oils maintained its title of Mill City in 1923, during which year flour 10 feed approximately S1,0o0.900 people, or almost one-third of the population of the United States, was shipped from the mills of the city.
 Figures announced by the secre- tary's office of the Chamber of Con- merce show that 54,s6 cars, or 15,- 54S,740 barrels of flour were shipped from here during the year 1923. Using the millers' unofficial estimate of half a barrel per capital consumption a year. based on previous years tabu- lations, the four shipments total would indicate that about Sl.000.0oo men. women and children were fed with bread and breadstuffs from the local production.
 Totals for 1923 were considerably lower than the 1922 figures. the mills here running much below capacity most of the year. In 1922 6o,44o cars containing 17,444,S92 barrels were shipped.
 The 26 local flour mills have nor nal capacity of practically 100000 barrels flour production day, but in- sufficiency of suitable wheat raised in the northwest in recent years has cur tailed the operations of the mills.

WATER MAINS ARE
 IN PATH OF QUAKE
Manila's Supply May Be Cut On at Any Time, Say Biologists

Manila, March f4.-The water sup ply of Manila may becut off at any time by an earthquake, as the present water main crosses a recent rift line on the east side Of the Mariquina val uey and possibly another such line on the west side, according to Dr. Roy r. Dickerson. geoiogist in charge Of the Richmond Petroleum company's operations in the Philippine Islands. Dr. Dickerson not long ago delivered an address on Recent Earthquake Lines Of the Philippines" in the course of which he made this state ment before the Frear club. He said that while this danger exists at present the proposed new watershed runs parallel with earthquake rifts and would therefore in all probability be safe from the shocks. He said, how ever,that the city of Manila is built on the kind of soil that is most sus- ceptible to earth shocks and that all construction work should be under taken with that fact in mind.
 Referring to several earth shocks in this region during the last few months which had caused some excitement in Manila, Dr. Diekerson said:
 Nearly all Of these shocks origi- mated in the Verde Island passage fault about 15o miles south of Manila. The frequency of these shocks and their general nature, however, indi- cates that the stresses in this region have been relieved and no serious danger from this rift is to be antici- pated for some years to come.
 Tidal waves arc likely to occur, due to submarine disturbances in rifts near the entrance to Manila Bay, but the peculiar shape of the bay fiarins outbroadly from the entrance, would probably prevent such waves from having disastrous effects on the city of Manila
