If Congress considers that it is wrong
for a government official to capital
ize his inside information, experience
and personal influence. and sell 1t to
a corporation as soon as he leaves
government office, then the laws
should be changed to cvover such
cases. Public sentiment is forming
on that subject now.

THIRD SET BECOMES
MORE CRITICAL FOR
COURT TENNIS KING
Gould Still Best After
20 Years But Age Taxi
ing Toll.
By WALTER CAMP.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York. April S.-Some day
some one is going to take that third
set from Jay Gould. and then, for the
first time in over 80 years, the court
tennis championship will change
hands. For the man who takes the
Fthird set from Gould will win the
last two sets with ease.
Morgan almost accomplished the
feat last Saturday, but couldn't quite
get away with it, and the greatest
court tennis player who ever lived
hung onto his title.
Jay Gould as a boy was taught
strokes without competitive play until
there was no position in which he
could be placed that hand and wrist
did not respond with a telling stroke.
Pace and accuracy followed and the
finished product was a machine.like
perfection.
All this stands him in such good
stead even now that he romps through
the early games. But years and
weight are taking their toll, and that
third set is becoming more and more
critical one for the master. Some
day-and probably not so far off
youth will be served at Gould's ex.
pense.
