Ten Years Of Versailles.

Ten years ago today the allied and asso-
ciated powers that humbled imperial
Germany on the field of battle Joined
with their vanquished foe In the treaty Of
Versailles. The intervening decade has
been period Of peace in the sense that
there has been no more war. But his
torians will not be able to record that
it has been an interval of tranquility in
any other direction On the contrary,
the era Of 1e1s-1929 has been marked
by unrest, anxiety and insecurity, from
which troubled world is even now Just
beginning to emerge.
Probably another decade, II not even
o wider segment Of perspective, win be
required to settle once for all the ques-
tion Of "war guilt" Today throughout
Germany so-called "anti-war guilt lie"
demonstrations are being held. They have
the oficial sanction Of President Hin
denburg and other reich ofncials. Yes
terday the Reichstag defeated bill pro-
viding for extension Of the law Of pro-
lection Of the republic statute enact
ed after the assassination Of Walther
Rathenau, In 1922, and designed to
discourage any attempt to accomplish
q monarchial coup d'etat in favor Of
the discredited Hohenzollerns.
Technically the ex-Kaiser is now at
liberty, under the law, to return from
exile. No one in Germany seriously
thinks the recluse Of Doom would
risk so foolhardy q venture, for,
barring q handful Of royalist die-hardS,
the dethroned dynasty is universally
detested by the German people. The
Reichstag vote, nevertheless, reflects .
certain resentment against the theory
that the Germans alone were re-
SponSible for the war. Today's popular
manifestations will provide an even
more significant indication Of their
emotions.
The German government has yet to
ratify the Young plan for reparations.
Even though it drastically revises the
Dawes plan downward and in Ger
many's favor, the Nationalist outcry
against the burdens 1t imposes may be-
come . numbering protest In which
non-reactionary elements Of the coun-
try may join. It may safely be assumed
that the German spelIbinders, who full
inmate against the war-guilt 'slie" today,
all the way from the Rhine to the Bal
Tic. win harp vociferously against the
obligations to which Reichsbenk Presi-
dent Or. Schacht sought to commit the
reich at Paris this month.
While the tenth anniversary Of the
Versailles treaty thus finds the Germans
In trreconcilable mood, June 20, 1879,
sees the world ct large on the threshold
Of events which give hope 10 Gods chill
dren everywhere. The Kellogg pact i
about to come formally into effect, and
the Hoover-MacDonald drive for naval
limitation IL on the march.
AL in al. though tardily mayhap,
mankind has progressed since YER

again turn les face in the old direction.

will mean their nth tournament In

Van Ryn Disappoints.
In view Of the fact that Tilden and
Hunter have been playing doubles to-
gether since 1875, this is probably one
OF the most unusual situations in the
history of the game.
To get back to the hishlight Of yes
terday's matches, which. Of course, was
the encounter between Tilden and Van
Ryn. must say that I was a bit dis
appointed in the p'sy Of the East
nament tennis for the last 10 years, and
he already had victory over Tilden in
the final round of the Heights Casino
tournament held last Winter. Yet with
all that, Van Ryn appeared nervous
against the lanky Quaker
He would play beautiful tennis for
three or four games and create oppor-
tunity after opportunity only to fail at
the critical moment. My only explana-
ton Is that Van Ryn's failure in that
all-important third set against Tilden
lies In the fact that he has not vet
gained experience in knowing when to
attack and when not to. With . lead
Of flve games he appeared to soften his
game in the third set, which allowed
Tilden to force him all over the court.
It seemed strange to me that Van
Ryn, with all the experience that he
has had In championship matches,
should stop attacking just at the mo-
ment he had victory within his grasp.
whether II was q case of nerves or
whether John was tired Is hard to say,
but the fact remains that It was exactly
what Tilden was waiting for, and let
it be said In favor of the tall Phila-
delphian that he took fun advantage
of the change in Van Ryn's game.
That one incident in the matches
yesterday Is O clear illustration Of the
great tennis player and the near great.
It would be hard to imagine players
like Henri Cochet. Rene LaCoste. Jean
Borotra. Karel Kozeluh and some of
the other well known stars in the game
changing their games at such q criti-
cal period in q championship match.
One Of the FIRST principles in the
game is that old and well known quo
tation. Never change . winning game,
but always change losing one"
That apparently was what the pop
ular East Orange boy forgot to re-
member and that was the cause Of his
defeat by the former title holder with
the fighting heart.

Ones backbone Is the axis Of the
body pivot in golf, according to
Cyril J. H. Tolley, the long hitting
British amateur champion. Around
this rod of bone the body turns.
Keep 1t still, make 1t the fixed line
it must be during the swing, and
you have the necessary foundation
for hitting correctly.
This practically stationary back
bone does two things. First, 1t
anchors the head, which must be
the same distance from the ball
throughout the swing. Second, 1t
anchors the middle Of the waist,
which also remains at the same
distance from the ball during the
well-timed swing. These two facts
will be cleared later.
Yes, the pivot centers around the
backbone. Get that point clear In
mind Is Tolley's idea. Then one
will be better able to properly handle
his legs and arms through the swing.
