PROPOSAL No. 5.
FOR
THE POPLAR TREE, AT OUR GATE
Frank Monroe Beverly

Frank Monroe Beverly
IT'S not tree of stately growth,
AS virgin forests boast,
But just youth of Treeland Folk
That stands beside the post,
Beside the post that swings the gate
That serve faithful guard,
And by its constancy doth keep
The cattle from the yard
That tree alone, yet unafraid--
If tree have mind or thought
Has held it's own 'gainst trampling feet,
Has for existence fought;
The tree that stands beside the post,
And shades the summer yard
But let's the sun in wintry time
To shine upon the floor.
The poplar tree calls in the winds
That stir among it's cughs,
And when we rest within its shade
We're cooled of heated brows,
.For poplars have magic way
To coax the magic breeze,
And in leafy motion they
Excel the other trees
The poplar tree stands by our gate,
The charm of summer time,
And when | view it's graceful form
I'm led off into rhyme,
My thoughts above the common rise,
And into verse they stray
For lonely trees stand beautiful,
Perennial display.

naming as head of the yellow

tied down.
Hertz made known today some Of the
griefs of one who owns heavily played
Derby favorite; and he made known for
the first time that Reign Count nearly
failed to start at all because Of an in
jury two days before the race.
1t was slight cut above the hoof
on the right foreleg. Complications were
feared. Hertz and Ben Michell, the
trainer, we're the only ones who knew
about It.

Then, should he win, folks would have
said They wanted to increase the odds,
so they sent out false story
"On the contrary, II Reign Count
lost. they would say we were making
excuses.
Il don't want 10 own another Derby
favorite. It's no recreation. The
knowledge that hundreds Of thousands
Of persons are betting on your horse,
and the realization that any Of a score
of things may prevent his winning takes
the 10Y out Of the sport"
Hertz said the Derby winner would
run in both the East and Middle West
this Summer.
IF the American Derby at Arlington
we're not on the same date as the Bel
mont Stakes We would certainly enter
Reign Count here" he said, but we
feel the West needs representation In

TOday's Tennis Tip.
Just one little hint today. AS we
have said, the beginner who really is
ambitious should start right from the
first to develop his or her game men,
tally as we'll as physically. Don't Just
hit the ball--hit 1t with a definite plan
in mind. You won't succeed in sending
1t where you want II TO go the first
tiYf1e--nor the first hundred times, per-
haps--but you will be training your
mind to think your game--to let your
head save your feet, in other words
and eventually this thinking will tell
over opponents who just play the ball
for the fun OF getting 1t across the net
And when you think, think always In
terms Of the opening" or other fel-
lows weakness. II the weak spot Is on
the backhand as 1t is in the average
game, then learn to play your balls to
that side Of the court, for you are
only inviting disaster when you play
to the strength of the opposing side
In any game, 1t is not unsportsman-
like to play the weakness and in prac-
tice games it gives your "sparring part
ner" practice where 1t Is most needed.
as we'll as developing in you the proper
thought process for the winning anne.
