IW Wanted French threat in
IL tennis? The United States
big -Four" are assured of retain
ing the Davis Cup after winning
the first three matches. Instead
Of the predicted struggles, it was
easy for the Americans. Seldom
have the international title
matches been so soft" for the vic
tors.
From accounts it seemed as
though the French were brilliant Z
in spots, but not steady or accu-
rate. The Yanks let the challeng-
ers beat themselves. In all lines
Of sport accuracy is the greatest
virture. The brilliant play draws
applause, but steadiness wins.

If at first you don't succeed,
try, try again. Charles Michel =
attempted the swim ten times be-
fore he broke the record. The
roly-pOly Frenchman must be a
glutton for punishment. Besides
his swimming activities he wants
to buy Ford.
7CCORDING to the Pennsyl.
Alvania State Athletic Com

FTr HERE seems to be a certain
technique in this profession
- of hog calling. The first
worlds championship meet at
Omaha is educating the ordinary
citizens into some of the myster-
les of the plaintive notes which
the porkers can not resist. A..
Today was to decide the cham
pion. Hughie Henry of the Kansas
City yards is one of the favorites
along with Fred Patel, Nebraska
champ.
According to all accounts their
methods are somewhat different al
though their voices are somewhat
the same. Both resemble fog
horns. Henry uses yell that
sounds like "whoopee-ee" Petzel
is more seductive with a "poogie-
pooey," enticing enough to make
any pig leave home.
There are other calls. One Of
the contestants bellows out some
thing that resemble "sui. sui sui,
sooee." Another splits the air
with a "ooie, hooie, peeg. peeg."
The pigs seem to understand each
Of the variations.
