wealth of sentiment on many lines
that concern the life of the COM
munity and has frequently been
called upon to supply prominent
part in program. This she has
been able to do with pleasing effect
and much credit to herself and the
cause she championed, whatever it's
nature. Few women would have at
tempted such work harnessed as she
has been to daily tasks and sub ject
to incessant Interruptions. 1t hasn't
been an easy road. There have been
grievances and misunderstanding a
plenty all along the way. Everybody
has them. So did she. But all who
know her know also that when the
time of understanding or reckoning
came Mrs. McVeigh always forgot
and forgave generously, wholeheart-
edly. To the needy or helpless. af~
ficted or down-and- her heart
and her purse readily opened. She
would give some poor unfortunate a
lift even when she knew that she
would get only Indifference or even
worse as return. That was Mrs.
McVeigh. If someone jumped a
boardbill he had to be a pretty hard
cracking before she would resort to
means 10 get what was due her. In
these years Of her administration
distinguished men and women have
crossed the Kennebec threshold.
Campaigns and Chautauquas always
brought them, and then between
times. We recall such as Mckinley,
Hanna, Foraker, Sherman, Harding.
Folk of Missouri Bryan, Cox, noted
lecturers, and tourists, an endless
list of notables. Mrs McVeigh knew
we'll how TO meet them and con-
tribute TO their comfort during /
their stay. But was her guest dis |
tinguished or the most modest pat /
ron she was the same cordial and /
kind hostess to all, and each was
made to feel that she had a personal 1
interest in them. She so made her
guests her friends. So now when
Mrs. McVeigh retires to private life
if she carries the memory of many
hardships and trials, she will also [
carry the memory of many triumphs +
and successes. She goes with the
interest of many friends far and Z
near. AT present she has no definite
plans for the future but will spend /.
some time with her son Clancy in

Mrs Charles Lambert and their

where the Literary Digest's straw
vote can count for anything much,
as they could mail the secret ballots
out SO that the result might show
anything they might wish. We re-
ceived by mail two of the secret bal
lots and of course we voted both and
we suppose the favored ones would
receive three or four dozen of these

be made anything desired. :. Clar-

She particularly distracted Dick
Landon, who got even by distracting
her. and after the team had returned
to this country they dc cided that they
might best continue their mutual dis
fractions under the same roof and the
same name, THE romance of the
Olympic trip" was the way the affair
was described by those assigned to
report such colorful events of our
athletic invasion of Belgium.
According to report, Dick Landon
must have been more alert than usual
in capturing the personable Miss
Lord. for Richard is not ordinarily
noted for the well known snarpy and
aggressive manner. On the contrary,
he is sleepy sort of citizen. one in
clined to extreme languor and dream
mess on most occasions. He does
snap out Of the daZe that seems to
envelop him at such times, however,
as II becomes necessary to kick his
way over a jumping bar or TO plead
successfully with Miss Alice Lord.
Most OF the time he resembles a
dreaming bookworm. a pair of specta-
cles adding to the general effect pro-
duced by his attitude of extreme in
difference to the energetic and bus
tling world
There is a typical story told of
l.andon's languid personality, "A story
which he might not like to have
told. 1t Is one that can't hurt
or disgrace him, however, and, mas
much as raspberry now and then
never hurts anybody, the story is
now going into cold print for all to
gaze upon.
The yarn concerns the time Lam
don was visiting La Marine Cafe,
in Antwerp. He was Shipping a mi d
beverage and languidly admiring
the local color of the place in com
pany with two or three other Ameri-
can athletes and n pair of husky ma
rineS when a Belgian pickpocket, not
ing that Iandon seemed to be paying
little conscious attention to the ac-
tivity going on about him, decided
to exrlore the pockets of the grand
American" He conducted that ex-
ploration with neatness and dispatch,
and later Landon sheepishly con-
fessed to his teammtes that he had had
his pocket picked in a public cafe.

POINT FOR OLYMPICS

Washington may be represented at
the Olympic games in more sports
than one.
In addition to the possibility that
several of Georgetown University's
track athletes may go to Paris, there
are others here who are pointing for
the Olympics.

intercollegiate 15S-pound wrestling
championship for Cornell. has a fine
chance of crossing the big pond"
Then there is August Nogora, a

of Georgetown, who is eligible to
tryouts to be held June l at Pater-

here last week when he covered 1853
miles in hours minutes and So

States at Antwerp four years ago.
Walter Stokes, former Olynoic rife
champion, probably will represent
this country if he finds 1t possible to
leave the city.
John Norton, another Washington
Canoe Club member. who placed sec
ond in the 400-meter hurdles in the
last Olympic games, is training for
the trials to be held in the Yankee

1t is practically assured that the
Washington Canoe Club will send
four of its paddlers over the Atlantic.

Attention to changes in the open
season for bass and trout fishing
above tidewater in Maryland has been
called by E. Lee LIE Compte, Maryland
game warden. The new open seasons
were set by the general assembly at

The bass season which was former

and the trout season which formerly
opened April 1 and closed August

This new law also provides that
| bass, trout and other fresh-water fish
shall be caught only with rod. hook

will be prosecuted.
The open seasons were changed, LIE

OF the Leathernecks remarked. I'VE

sighed as they reflected that Landon

favorable glances of Miss Alice Lord.
| They also knew that he could keep
his eyes open long enough to get
over d jumping bar better than any
other American.
Landon's best performance was his
indoor jump of six feet five and one
fourth inches to tie Brown for the
worlds indoor record. He may, sleepy

thority for the statement that Dick
Landon often keeps his eyes open"

desires greatly at this time is win

Every one knows of Tilden's in
terest in junior tennis. For years he
has been coaching the young players
of the country, and there is not one
of them today with whose record he
is not perfectly familiar. That TIL
denis efforts have been fruitful is at
tested by the impressive list of his
pupils who were but few years ago
competing in junior events.
Vincent Richards was the first Of
Tlden's proteges, and Richards style
today shows the effects of Tilden' S
early coaching. Carl Fischer is an
other OF TIldens pupils to reach the
first ten, while Arnold Jones, captain
of Tale's team, and John Howard
leader of the Princeton team, two ad-
ditional pupils OF his, may both with
in the next few years develop into
ranking players.
@ilden n Severe Coach
AS a rule Tilden prefers coaching
boys, as they are more willing than
their elders to throw overheard their
preconceived notions of play and fol-
low strictly the dictations of their
teacher At the present time Tilden
knows personally almost every young
prominent player in the country.
Every spring he jumps into his auto
mobile and visits the school which
some young chum is attending, play
usually, at the request of the head
master, giving talk on tennis.
Many people feel that Tildens
training of his proteges is so inten-
sive that it works a hardship on the
boys, for it is Well known that any
boy working under the champions
direction must live according to the
most rigorous rules of training. those
that Tilden has found to work so well
in his own case. His pupils also have
to practice regularly and consciously
and they must eliminate from their
minds the desire to win unless they
can do so by using the proper strokes.
Good form in StrokinE is the ideal
that he constantly holds up to them,
and II he is severe in his criticism
OF poorly taken shots, it is because
he is SO thoroughly convinced that
bad technique means failure in the
long run. During tournaments Til
den allows the boys to decide for
themselves whether or not they will
keep early hours and obey his train
ing rules, but he makes it plain that
self-indulgence if persisted in will
cost them his guidance. Tilden's
severity, so much criticized, must be
thoroughly understood by the boys.

ibut nine times out of ten there Is no
