WI NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-With all
the furore of foreign invasion in
American sports passed and as the
smoke from the barrage clears away
we find only our mems tennis cham
pionship title and the Davis cup
carried overseas to France, nation
new in the top of any major sport.
The women have defended a hun
dred percent in both golf and tennis
against "A deluge of foreign invaders.
]. The main regret which | have aft
Ter a season of unusual brilliancy is
that the great athletes do not reach
their prime at the same time. In
variablv it seems that one is going
down while the other is coming up.
Should a match ever be arranged
between Helen Wills and Suzanne
Il Lenglcn, Helen Wills would be on
sthe up and Suzanne doubtless on the
4 down. The greatest Suzanne has
passed. the greatest Helen has Just
\ arrived, which would always leave
an unsatisfactory doubt in the
minds of the tennis followers as to
the outcome with both at their
prime.
Great Battles Fought
fevcrthcless the greatest battles
of the century have been fought in
1927.
Bobby Jones golf which carried
away the British open title and re
gained the American amateur was
admitted everywhere in the world as
the greatest golf ever played. The
battle between Tunney and Dcmp-
sev was one of the greatest heavy
weight fights in history. The Am
erican international polo contest
brought out some of the most daring
riding and powerful hitting the
game has ever known.
Real comebackS, where age is pit
ted against youth. were just little
pathetic. Big Bill Tildcn said that
he has been fighting for something
in the way of energy which he has
not had since he was 50, two years
ago.
Another interesting factor in this
years sports is the great wallops
that have lost their sting. And

DIR. MOTION TELLS PRESIDENT
LYNCHINCS HAVE DECLINED

Washington, d. c., Dec. 30--In re-
sponse to direct inquiry from the
president of the United States DR..
r. r. Motion says that lynching is on
the decrease in the South. DR.. Motion
called on President Coolidge last
Tuesday.
DIR. Motion said that President
Coolidge inquired specifically into
the situation regarding lynching and
mob violence and that he was able to
report that on the basis of present
indications the number of lynchings
for this year would be substantially
below those for 1926.
President Coolidge also received a
report on the Veterans hospital To-
Gated at Tuskegee, which some time
ago was placed entirely under the su-
pervision of Negro personnel. DR..
Motion reported that the hospital was
showing excellent progress under the
present management and assured the
President that things were running
smoothly.

option of the composer. 1t may be a
symphony, symphonic poem, an
overture, ETC., and may be in one or
more movements. The prizes for this
class are: First prize, $3.50; second
prize, 500; and third prize, $50.
Compositions submitted for Class
I2 must be vocal solo for one voice
only. Instrumental compositions will
not be considered in this classifica-
ton as they we're last year. The ac-
compartment may be for piano, or
chestra, etc., and obligato instruments
may be used as the composer desires,
but they are not necessary to make
the composition eligible for prize.
The prizes in this class are: First
prize, 500; second prize, $75; and
third prize, $50. However, it is re-
quired that the composition be love
song. Song poems, that is, words un-
accompanied by music, will not be
considered under any circumstances.
Glass 3 is for instrumental compo-
sitions only. Works submitted may
be in any form, dance, sonata, or mis-
cellaneous, and may be written for
solo instruments with an accompani-
ment desired by the composer or for
groups of instruments which, how
ever, must not exceed ten in number.
The prizes in this class are:- First
prize, $100; second prize, $75; third
prize, $50.
Compositions submitted for Glass
A must be for full brass band and
any type of composition is eligible,
a theme and variations, a march of
any form preferred by the composer.
The prizes here are: First prize,
500; second prize, $75; and third
prize, $50. The employment of the
Negro idiom melodically, rhythmic
ally and harmonically, will have some
weight with the judges, but the quail
ity of musical thought and workman
ship will have the first consideration.
The Negro idiom is preferable, but
not essential. All compositions sub
mitted must be in the hands of the
Robert Curtis Ogden association of
the John Wanamaker store, of Phila-
delphia, not later than midnight of
June 1, 1928.
