d AND AFTER
y ROSS CONKLJN-

Fred Paxton, chairman OF CHe
golf committee of the Washing
ton Golf and Country club, has
cancelled the match between the
members of the club and the Cum
berland Country Club, originally
scheduled for Saturday. The match
has been tentatively reset for
some late date in September. The
Washington club was forced to
call off the engagement because
so many members were out OF
town.
Miss Dorothy White. holder OF
the new women's record Tor the
Washington Golf ana country LUZ
course, first showed her mettle- in
the last monthly tournament OF the
Women's Golf Association OF the
District of Columbia. She was low
medalist. Her first round OF match
play was not so good, though, Tor
she was beaten by Mrs. T.. II. Ttlley.
Miss White has. been practising
under Dave Thomson's watchful
eve and she has cut many strokes
off her game in the last few weeks.

Walter Tuckerrnan is the best put

thing to see Tuckerman lay them
In the cup from distances ranging
from 10 to 40 feet. George Voigt
has beaten him several times this
year, and so has Roland Mackenzie.
But their superiority was not at
putting.
Roland Mackenzie socks them
harder and farther than any OF the
others. He is strong with his irons
and approaches, too. He Is a very
strong candidate for the title round
because of his excellent showing
against George Won Elm in the semi
finals last year. Elm was forced
over the limit to defeat Mackenzie,
and this year Roland Is an Inn
proved player. His own weakness
Is that he is apt to be reckless.
Chris Dunphy plays fairly long
game, but his irons and putter are
his main weapons. Chris has every
shot in the bag and he has the
experience necessary, to carry him
high. Dunphy's brilliant record the
past winter in Florida, and his
showing in the Chevy Chase invita-.
ton tournament, when he went into
the semi-finals, shows that he has
the old skill.
Miller STEVENSON is in the best
form he ever attained. He has been
laying them all low at Columbia,

TNDE:N MAY
DROPFROM
DOUBLES
Hasn't Stamina to Play Three
Hard Matches in As
Many Days
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH
international News Service Sports
Editor


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-William
I, Tilden. is in for another shock
from the Davis cup committee.
1t became known today that he
is likely to be dropped from the
doubles team for the first time
since 1919, as a result of Billy
Johnston's victories over Vincent
Richards for the No. 2 position
in singles on the cup-defending
squad.
This is tantamount to stating
that the Johnstown flood caused
great loss of life in Fort Wayne,
Ind, but the writer has 1t on the
word OF a prominent tennis ssso-
citation official that the action in
question Is pending, nevertheless.
"JOEnstOn's place on the singles
team is virtually assured" this
man said. "But you can bet all
the money you ever hope to have
that he viii not play both singles
and doubles. He hasn't the
stamina to play three hard
matches in as many days"
He added that, with Johnston
cut of the doubles, Tilden is likely
TO 60 with him. They have been
working out as doubles partners
since the cup tryouts and in 1919
and 1924 they formed the winning
team in the international matches.
Seemingly, a doubles team is
no stronger than its missing part
ner.
Tilden. of course, could be
teamed up with Dick Williams, as
I'm the 1928 series, but there are
two objections. to this, according
to the writer's informant
The first is that such a pro-
cedure would absolutely eliminate
Richards from active participation
and the young man il entirely
too good, particularly in doubles,
to be laughed off altogether.
The second is that another
Tilden. Williams team could be
achieved only over the figura-
tive dead body Of EolcOn1be-
Ward, chairman Of the seIec-
ton committee. It was TiIden'S
play in the 1928 doubles that
prompted the Ward-TfIden war OF
words and il is not Of record
that the chairman ever changed
his mind about the matter.
The alternative, and a sound
one, would be the teaming Of
Richards and williams, and 1 have
been given to understand that this
probably will be done. They were
beaten two out. Of three sets by
Tilden and Johnston in the try
outs, but, according to impartial
observers, there was little to
choose between the two combina-
tons.
How Tilden, highly sensitive to
any move that affects his position
Of dominance, would take such a
decision, Is problematical. 1t may
be taken for granted, however,
that it wouldn't serve to cement
the recent armistice between the
champion and his governing associ-
alton.

everything to carry on the campaign

Congress ut different times during the
war managing the financial affairs of
the government. even making use of
his personal credit to carry on the war.
He lost his fortune, spent several years
in prison for debt. and died in poverty
in 1906. He was in word and deed
truly great Welshman.
Great as have been the ones already
recorded, 8 till in this Goth century the
Welsh have produced great man. A
man born of the people, he has devoted
his time,, his talents, his life to the
help and uplift of the people at large.
An, Enemy Of Tyranny.
David Lloyd George was born in
Manchester, England, January, 1903,
! but the accident of his birthplace did
not prevent him from being 'first and
last and above everything Welsh
man., and at all times during his ca
reer he had been jeered and scoffed at
for being Welshman, but despite all
he kept steady marching upward and
onward uutil he at last reached the
Epennacle by being appointed to the
premiership Of the greatest empire the
world has ever seen.
He has been fighter all his life.
His life has been inspired by the deeds.
of valor of those other noble Welsh
men who have gone before, but since
ii is no longer possible to lay waste the
towns. of the Welsh marches. with fire
and sword, he is out with other weap-
ons, to lay waste English Toryism.
Never was there such devastating
fury Of man. A challenge is music
to his ears. It was so when as school
boy he reused the boys of the village
school to refuse to repeat the Cate
chism; and as young lawyer he broke
the tyranny Of the country bench and
saw the magistrates file out; also dur
ing the Boer War, when he fought the
popular. frenzee; burning the Budget
crisis and the long struggle of the In
surance Act. 1t is true that when he
is attacted he hits back, but every
blow,is above. the, belt.
/ The. great man is alternately loved
and hated, and very few men have been
hated as Lloyd George has been, and
by the very people to whom he was a
benefactor.
Volumes have been written about the
great Of different nation of the earth.
and some day the historian will take
the time and put. forth the effort to
place the great men of the Welsh race
in their rightful position in the Hall
Of Fame.-The End.

of police and two constables had
rumbled UP to the door Of the court
in q small old-fashioned motor car.
Meanwhile, a thorough search of the
house had been made, and as far as
possible Of the grounds; that Is, the
lawns and gardens, the various Sum
mer houses, even the stables. the new
garage and the two very old cottages
Of Iodgekeepers. There was no trace
Of Eve anywhere. She might have
been touched by some fairy wand and
suddenly made invisible.
Haste had meant to accuse Raw
don Wells in fierce. direct words the
moment the police arrived. But some
how, he did not. He hardly knew
why, unless those words the benefit
of the doubt" were still ringing In his
ears.
SO let the police find out the truth
by questioning every one in turn.
That would be fair. And it would
amount to the same thing in the end.
Wells was inclined to keep to the
background and let Haste play master
of the house, but Sergt. Anson could
not understand that line of proceed
ing AS Rawdon had said, Hidden
Hall Court was like high heaven to
Ardry-l -le- Mare, but this was not be-
cause of the grandeur of the old
house or It's riches. 1t was because
of "the family"
Sergt Anson, as a boy of 10, had
volunteered for the Boer War and
served under Sir Rawdon's father.
In 1914 he had offered himself again
for the fighting" and had been a
sergeant in Capt. Sir Rawdon Wells
regiment before the accident which
