The Dark Year

1t is a ghastly time for champs;
they've battled much this year, and
from their divers training camps they
sent out words Of cheer. Cheer up,
cried good old Berlenbach, before his
recent fight; II feel quite sure III
spoil the block of that Delaney wight.
l have a most inspiring hunch that
I will get the kale. for so bobcats
in a bunch could not 'gainst me pre-
vail. 1 never was in better shape.
said he, ''and that is that. SO let them
pin their strips of Grape on J. De-
laney's hat" We know what hap
we've read; Delaney knocked him
through the wall and sat upon his
head. Il now am in much better
form than e'er l was before said
Dempsey to the human swarm before
his trainers door. "Invincible l surely
feel, of ginger / am full, and to poor
Tunney l shall deal such blows as
fell bull. I'm sorry for the youth,
I swear. who has the unmixed gall
to beard the lion in his lair. the Doug
las in his hall" Then to the ring
did Dempsey trek, his front was high
and fine, and Tunney walked around
his neck and slid along his spine.
Then Dempsey looked like 20 cents,
the picture of despair, the while his
foe impaired dents and bruises here
and there And so astonished were
we all. we scarcely raised a cry; we
thought q champ must whip them
all-and now we wonder why. The
followers Of Harry Wills laughed
Sharkey's claims to scorn, and in our
breasts disturbing chills and grievous
doubts were born. We hoped to see
the Panther whipped, for he'd become
a bore; but all the seers and experts
yipped that he'd spill Sharkeys gore.
1t was a cinch, thing ordained, pre-
destined from the first; and none of
this has been explained since Harrys
bubble burst. We can't imagine that
decay in champs will e'er begin; Hes
always won, and So" we say, hell
surely always WIN"

NET STARS CLASH
 IN DOUBLES MATCH
Suzanne and Helen Both Hurl
 Compliments at Each Other

Nice, Feb. $ Rs-Su2anne Longlcn thinks Helen Wills is Il great tennis player, and Miss Wills thinks Suz- anno is a great champion. These ex- prcSsIons of opinion were obtained from both the young women after they had met yesterday for the first time in n battle across the net.
 It was q match in the mixed dou- hles of tho local tournament and Suzanne and the Italian Baron Henri De Morpurgo, defeated the Amer- can champion and her partner, Charles r. Acschlimann, 6--l, G--2, while the spectators sat Spclboun1 under the brilliauCc of the play.
 "rhc first three games of the first set were the fastest and most hotly contested I ever have played" dc clarcd Mile, Lcnglcn, Miss Wills is really great player"
 "It was q very enjoyable match, |" said the California girl when asked her impressions. And she added Mile, Lcnglen is great champion" :"
 These sweet words, however, seemed in contrast with tho cool handshakes after the match was over At the net Baron De Nor purgo and Miss Wills shook hands warmly and Acschlimam and Suz- onne rather Coldiy. Then Suzanne and Helen reached over the net with what seemed to be pcriunCtory handcIasp, neither looking at the other.
 Acschlimann was profusc in his praise of his partners play, Helen is too modest" he said, "She play cd one of the greatest matches of her career. Mark my words, she will be an unbeatable doubles cham pion when she returns 10 America" !"
 Suzanne showed marvellous tennis and proved that she is the greatest woman miXsd doubles player tennis ever has known. Miss Wills, on th" contrary, apparently had been neg lectfu Of her doubles training, her greatest weakness being playing ih" ball too high, into Suzannc's racquet.
 Suzanne was here, there and everywhere. She never missed re- turn. Miss Wills showed 10 the best advantage in the second set with thc games one all.
