wEAK-KNEED LEGISLATURE
(Meriden Journal)


The 1898 session of the Connec-
ticut general assembly will be re-
membered principally for its job
berry in the lesser judgeships and
other political patronage and for
the enactment of a liquor control
law to apply to the sale Of non-
Intoxicating beer.
On the credit side, as listed by
Governor Cross, appear such ac-
complishments as the creation OF
a commission to study ways to re-
lieve estate of its unequal share
of taxation, bolstering up the
banking code, curbing sweatshops
and establishing a commission to
guarantee the bonds Of distressed
cities or force them into receiver
ship.
On the whole it has been most
ineffective legislative session in a
period when courageous, intelli-
gent, effective action was most
needed. Back home 1t seemed that
all the lawmakers could think of
was jobs and certain pet, class leg
islation.. Probably the outstanding
blunder was the LIQUOR control

To-doys Selected Poem
THE wANDERER

Garrett oppenheim in the New York Times)
The storm broke open my cabin door,
And there, for an instant. saw him stand,
That terrible giant with Old command.
Whose name had been whispered In ancient
a lore.
His one eve swept from ceiling to floor.
Then eiowed on mine like burning brand
The lightning flashed as he waved his hand
And vanished. Yes. he was gone before
I had found the courage to ask him why
Nv home was suddenly strange and small:
And tongues OF lightning out of the sky
Made weird designs on the cabin wall.
And I should be summoned forth to die
on foreign soil In the years to fall

Would Have Suited TiIdcn

That is a dish which would just suit Tilden in his prime, except that Big Bill always preferred Eu- ropean tournaments exclusively in preparing for Davis Cup play
 There is the possibility that Will mer Allison, with the burden of doubles play removed, may be able to register victory either against Cochet or Borotra, but that is a gamble. George Lott and John Van Ryn should have the edge in dou- bles over any team the French send against them, but Vines must win both his matches to make victory secure.
 1 All the above is based, of course, on the assumption that America doesn't stub it's toe on the way to the challenge round. Preliminary play in the European zone indi- cates there is no team there that would have more than an outside chance against the Vines Allison Lott-Van Ryn quartet, and cer- tainly there is nothing to stop them on this side.

Critical but hopeful eyes will be trained on Henry Ellsworth Vines, Jr., when that gifted young man unlimbers his racquets in the east and starts firing across the net again, because Americas chances of returning the Davis Cup to these shores depends in large part on just how well Henry Els worth plays this year.
 The question now is whether the rigorous campaign of last summer and winter, which saw Vines play ing tournament tennis for almost l2 months, has left the lanky Cali fornian's stamina and game unim- paired
 If Vine is hitting the ball and covering court as he was in the Stade Roland Garros last summer and at Forest Hills in September, American engravers can get out their instruments and look for a place on the big silver trophy in which to again imprint the name of this country.

STELLAR FIELD 1. TO COMPETE IN

Country's Best Golfers As sembled Tn Events
 Starting June 1

ST. PAUL, May 31-A strong field of the nations golfing greats will converge for the fourth annual ISt. Paul open starting tomorrow June 1, 2, 3 and 4-with $5,0OO waiting for the winners.
 The country's top flight golfers comprising almost the same group that will fight it out for the Ma tional Open title in Chicago a week later. already have entered.
 Stroking their way over the Kel- Ter course, scene of the 1892 P. G. A. tourney where big Olin Dutra cut his path to the title, will be the old master, Walter Hagen, plus Dutra, Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour Harry Cooper and a host of others.
 Expect Sarazen's Entry
 Gene Sarazen, present British and American open title-hclder, also is regarded as certain to appear. His sparring partner in his present tour, Joe Kirkwood has entered. Horton Smith, winner of first-place money two years ago, also will be back.
 The national driving champion ship, sanctioned by the P. G. A., will be conducted at the same time as the St. Paul open.
 Leo Diegel, of the quaint putting stance. will play his first round over the Keller course this year, but it will be an old story for most of the others, who have appeared annually since the inaugural of St. Paul's open
 se Armour Seeking Revenge ie Tommy Armour figures he may gain little revenge over the field after failing to qualify in the P. G. A. last year. Although Hagen never has won first place in pre- Vious starts here, he always has taken part of the prize money in the lower brackets.
 In the record group of competi- tors expected are included Tony Manero, Charles Guest, Clarence Clark, Al Collins, Bobby Cruick- shank, c. w. Hackney, Charlie Hall, Willie Hunter, Tom Kerrigan, John Revolta, Paul Runyan, Frank Walsh, Al Watrous and James Foul lis.

Thrivcs on Hard Work

Frie en dly observers who have watched the development of Vines in three years from an awkward youngster to the No. 1 of the world believe the lanky Californian is another Tilden, who thrives on hard work and doesn't really "get right" until he has played in three CT four tournaments.
 Bernon s. Prentice, chairman of the United States Davis Cup com mittee, seems to agree with them, as he is putting Vines in for Amer ican zone play when there is no need of his services to assure vic tory and also in sending him abroad to defend his Wimbledon singles title in a tournament which ends a bare two weeks before the in- terzone final and only three weeks before the challenge round against France. Vines also will play dou- bles at Wimbledon with his long time partner, Keith Gledhi1l with whom he holds the United States doubles title.
