Believes Spirit of
Competition Needed
In Professional Tennis

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 2s-(P)--
That the spirit OF competition will
measure the height TO which profess
sionsl tennis will soar is the belief OF
William r. Tilden. for six successive
years prior to 1926 national tennis
champion.
Speaking before the chamber Of COM
merce here yesterday Mr. Tilden said:
The only possibility of success for
professional tennis-and I believe il
can and will be a tremendous success
will be IL the spirit of competition Is
in it so that the public is assured that
when they 90 out 20 see match they
are going TO see two players go out
there and fight"
Mfr. Tilden believed that in turning
professional Suzanne Lenglen did the
only thing that she could possibly
have done" inasmuch as she had f.
nally reached the point where she re-
allied that the strain of tournament
competition was too great for her and
that she could not 60 on"
Mr.. Tilden spoke at length on the
necessity of developing younger play
ers of stellar rank in the United
States. He declared that il was "up
to the top men OF every community TO
realize that the future Of the game is
in their hands" and to take the best
kids in that particular community
and give them the experience and ben
eft of their knowledge"
The recent French invas sion" which
eliminated in the national champion
ships going overseas. he considered a
well deserved spanking" OF the
American stars by the French aces,
Rene Lacoste, who won the cham
pionship this year. Jean Borotra and
Henri Cochet, who eliminated Tilden
in the championship.
If We have to face the situation
with men as good as they are. still
| under IS" he said, we have a serious
problem to face in the United States.
Although he referred to Borotra as
an acrobat, not p player, ne said the
bounding basque" had one tremendous
asset: lie has that dynamic force and
spirit of the French-tbe thing that
stopped the Germans--the thing that

TELLS WONDERS OF
SHOE INDUSTRY
AT FORTY CLUB

An interesting resume OF the
manufacture Of shoes with especial
reference to the industry in Gar
diner was given the members of the
Gardiner Forty Club by the super
intendent of the Commonwealth
Shoe and Leather Co. in this city,
who was the speaker at the luncheon
Tuesday noon. Mr.. McGrail inform
ed the members that the Gardiner
factory employed SAT persons, the
total pay roll averaging $4,000 a week.
This means that approximately
each year and the Gardiner mer-
chants received a large portion Of
this amount. The average pay per
week not counting foremen or spe-
cial supervisors Is $24.24.
Mr.. McGrail showed that 1t was
possible to provide footwear for
person in six hours from the cows
back to the foot of the person. But
modern manufacturing does not per-
NIT this. There are exactly ia dif-
ferent operations before the footwear
is sold to be worn. and it takes Is IL
days in a modern factory to accom-
plish these operations in an eff
cient manner.
There are approximately 1900
shoe factories in the United States
at the present time. stated Mr.. Nc
Grail, but the important factor
about this statement is that 800 Of
these factories produce 20 percent
of the output required, leaving but
So percent to be furnished by the
| II ai,,
ing. Mr.. McGrail said that it was
the policy of his company to keep
their employees working steadily if
for instance certain sum was ap-
propriated to do a piece of work
which could be done by three men
working steadily the Office would
assign three men to do that work
instead of six, who would only be
working part time. In closing, Mr..
McGrail paid tribute to the fine spir-
it of cooperation which existed in
the local factory and as an example
of the manner in which this worked
out for the mutual benefit of both
employers and employees he cited the
enjoyable occasion few days ago
when the entire personnel enjoyed
an outing at Tacoma Lake.
j. J. McDermott, chairman of the
committee in charge of arrange
ments for the masquerade ball
planned by the club. announced the
date as Thursday. Oct. p, and the
place as the Gardiner Shrine Club
hall. Each member of the club
pledged himself to secure two uni
forms from Portland costumer
who is to come here in advance and
exhibit samples at the Johnson OPP
era House. The public is to be in
vited to this affair and will be given
an opportunity to secure costumes
through this special arrangement
made by the club. further details of
which will be given later.

German Foreign
Minister Not to
Answer POincare

lister Stresemann has no intention of
answering Premier Poincare's speech
on Sunday in which he insisted upon
Germany's responsibility for the war,
q foreign Office spokesman declared
emphatically today.
"Poincare has had his say. and the
road which NJ. BRAND tFTench foreign
minister) and DIR. Stresemann intend
to travel is now clear" the spokesman
added
WHY should Germany reply TO a
man who is looking back. whose mind
is in the past? Our mind is on the fu-
ture. These questions of war guilt,
and so forth, belong to the past
He pointed out that in neither of the
French premier's weekend speeches
was there anything to indicate disa-
vowal Of NJ. Brands course in reach
ing the basis of an understanding with
DR.. Stresemann during their recent
conversations in Geneva and Thoiry.
while we are fully aware of the
possibility that Poincare may influ-
ence the plans for a Franco-German
understanding adversely" he contend
ed. there is an optimistic feeling that
BRAND and Stresemann will prove
stronger than the French premier"
The German nationalists naturally
demand that the war guilt question be
again threshed out, but the cabinet
turns a cold shoulder TO them. its at
titude being, in the words Of the for

Veteran Paving Cutter
Helped Pave Water St.
Over Half Century AGO

An interesting feature of the re-
construction of lower Water street is
the experience OF Robert White Of
Augusta. a veteran paving cutter who
is now at work on familiar ground
Mr.. White is in his nth year but ac-
cording to his fellow worllmen swings
a mean hammer for he is in the Job
every day, and turns in his quota OF
split pavings rain or shine.
Over half century ago Mr. White
was a member of the crew which
paved Water street from Beane's cor
ner up to Winter street. this being
the first section in the State OF
Maine to be paved. Previous to COM
ing to Gardiner to work Mr.. White
was employed in the granite works at
Hallowell and was a member Of the
force that turned out the first paw
ing blocks ever used in the State OF
Maine. Few people realize that the
city of Gardiner was the first place
to use paving blocks. and the next
was the much larger city of Portland.
After being tried out in these two
places they were found satisfactory
and later came into general use in
this state.
Mr. Whites comparisons OF the
work a half century ago and the pres
ent time are of special interest. The
modern machinery such as cement
mixing machines, tractors. special
automobile trucks, surveying meth
DDS make the job much quicker
proposition. The workmen of 1870
did their work we'll however. and the
section done by Mr.. White and his
crew withstood the test of traffic and
the clements wonderfully. The 1926
job now being done is different
method than the one of SIS years ago,
and although the surface will be
much smoother for traffic the extent
of it's lasting powers as reckoned in
decades remains to be observed by
those Of the younger generation.
