ACTION NEEDED.

In recent years the United States
has dominated the tennis field be-
cause of the unusual brilliance of a
limited number of players like Til
den, Johnston, Richards and Helen
Wills
These stars cannot go on forever.
When they fade out of the tennis
picture, the United States is going to
be in a bad way to rstain it's SUI
premacy unless some serious atten-
tion is given to the younger players.
Nothing develops youngster more
than proper supervision. The noted
football coaches are largely respon-
sible for the rapid strides made by
the grid game. Golf has hundreds
Of professional instructors. Every
major and minor league ball club
has from one to a half dozen men
capable of properly coaching the
rockets.
Tennis has been lacking in proper
supervision and for that. reason the
game has not developed the crack
players it should, considering the
great name of devotees of the game.
The finesse of the game is such
that it cannot simply be developed
by much play and no supervision.
That is very essential

POLICE HAVE 2
CARS BELIEVED
TO BE STOLEN

What local officers believe are two
stolen machines were recovered here
Tuesday due to the quick action of
county and Douglas authorities.
About 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Motorcycle Officer Gordon New
man noticed Ford coupe bearing an
desert, south of the Y. M. c. A. and
within short distance of the in
ternational line. He thought at the
time that it was stolen machine
and so early last evening he and
Lieutenant Leslie Gatliff went to the
place where Newman had first no.
ticed the car. Finding it deserted
they brought it to local police head
quarters. The license number will
be sent to Oklahoma authorities in
the hope of locating it's owner.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Hayhurst was
the prime actor in recovering the
second machine and placing two
strangers in the city jail to await
further investigation by the county
officials. A DR.. j. Hartman of

On reaching Douglas, he conferred
with D. C. O'Neil, Douglas Hudson
dealer who in turned called Deputy
Sheriff Hayhurst into conference. The
result of their conversation was that
Sheriff Jane Mcdonald, who was in
this city yesterday, and Deputy
Sheriff Walter Morris jumped into a
car with Hayhurst and the trio
drove out to where the Hudson coach
was stalled. Questions failed to con-
vince the officers that it's occupants
were the lawful owners, especially
as both were practically penniless.
One of the strangers stated that the
car was his, although he still owed
$500 on it. They vouched that they
were heading for California. Both
were Jailed last evening, and the car
will be held until it's owner is def

Secretary Work Suggests
Plan For River Pact
Continued From Page one)

vided in the Swing-Johnson bill,
should be made conditional Secretary
Work believed upon failure of this
government to negotiate new and
more advantageous agreement with
Mexico that under which water is
now carried to the valley from Han
Ions heading, through Mexican ter
ritory The present arrangement per-
mits Mexican water users to appro-
pirate half of the water passing
through the present canal. This
canal could be made. to suffice, Sec
retary Work suggested after new
agreement had been negotiated defi-
nitely fixing the amount of water
that Mexican users might take.
The Work plan also contemplated
complete repayment of the govern
ment for the project in rs years by
assessing the entire cost against
power developed, lands irrigated, and
water sold to municipalities. The
Swing johnson bill proposes that the
cost of construction of the diversion
dam would be borne by the govern
ment. The need for careful selection

project was emphasized by the Sec
retary.
The cost of the project has been
estimated by the reclamation service
at: SAL, 100000 for the diversion dam
and 26,OO0,00O acre foot reservoir;
$31,5OO000 for power plants to de-
velop million horse power; S31,-
100000 for an all-American canal and
$21,0OO,OOO interest charges at per
cent for five years during con-
struction. The estimated annual
revenues from the sale of power is
$40, $780, 900 at the rate of three mills
per kilowatt hour and $1,500,O0O
from storage and delivery of water
for irrigation and domestic purposes.
The total operating, maintenance
and interest charges were estimated
at $6,200,000 a year, leaving a sur
plus of $6,1OO,O0O to apply on the
construction cost. Power transmits
sion lines would be built by pur-
chasers of power to be sold at the
plant switch board.

tion of the Boulder Canyon dam, up

the proposed Diamond creek and
Bridge canyon projects, and asserted
that the approval of this project
should open the way for other de-
velopment, and encourage the con-
tsruction of projects above this dam
for development, of irrigation, power
or other purposes"
Although the difficulties of con-
struction and the magnitude of the
proposed structure, contemplated
with any other for similar purposes,
are unprecedented" Secretary Work
said, assuming that it is feasible

bureau of the department of the in

RICHARDS, SCHEME.

No doubt the failure of more star
tennis players to turn pro has been
due to the fact that there has been
no great demand for such action.
Several years ago it was limited
that Tex Rickard had in mind put
ting professional tennis over on q
big scale and had made. overtures to
such stars as Tflden, Richards, Johns
ston and others of tha1 class to for
sake the amateur ranks for the pro-
fessional field.
Apparently the plan failed to APP

Billy Evans Says

The stunt Of turning professional
seems to be in the air.
First Red Grange spurned the lib
eral advantages OF a college educa-
ton for a pot Of gold.
Then followed ErnIe Nevers in the
footsteps Of Grange. the man. pro-
nounced By Glenn Warner as the
greatest baclSfield star of al1-time,
made his debut as a pro in Florida,
tomorrow, and interested citizens
arrayed against Grange.
When you recall that Warner de-
veloped Jim Thorpe, as wel1 as many
other outstanding football stars, il
is apparent that he thinks pretty
Well of Ernie Nevers.
Money has lured amateur stars
from the ranks of baseball, football
and golfing, but tennis has been
rather immune
That is why the announcement
that Harvey Snodgrass has deserted
the amateur ranks for the filthy
lucre class, is Of more than passing
interest.
