 Mr Roosevelt spoke body in his crucial address before the Legion convention which had potentialities of either winning the veterans whole. .heartediy or arousing revolt against the presidents drastlcI com 'pensation cuts.
 He laid down three principles In dealing with the veterans and declared that his policy of tinan- eiai retrenchment was imperative if the country Is to thrive.

Net So Spotless-
 It is extremely difficult to accept at face value this skittish attitude toward national tennis open, eith- CT at home or abroad.
 Pierre Gillou, the aStute captain of Frances Davis Cup affairs, has held up a figurative hand in some horror at the mere idea of mixing amateurs and professionals in the same competition, as is done in golf, but no one knows better than M. Gillou that this is no cause for alarm.
 It would be a different proposi- tion if amateur tennis players, oi the top flight class, occupied e sphere of spotlessness which they felt they should be extremely jeal- ous in protecting.
 The fact is, however, that very few of the first-class performers ir any of the leading Davis Cup ma tions could keep up their game: without some sort Of subsidization This may take variety of forms but its existence is so well knowr that it hardly requires any proof Even Bill Needed Help | Tilden. while in his nrine ms.

sessed talents which enabled him to capitalize his skill to a greater Iextent, professionally, than any oth- CT amateur tennis player before or since. Yet even the legitimate char acter of Tilden's side lines were not sufficient to keep him out of diff entities and it was necessary to change the amateur rules in res peat to writing, for exam pie, so that Big Bill could be kept comfortably within the simon pure stockades.
 There is no demand or necessity now for fin g er-pointing, yet it seems entirely self-evident tn 1t without well-arranged plans our current champion, Vines hardly could have afforded to give up his college work entirely and devote himself for solid year to tourna- mont tennis from Europe to Aus tralia, his honeymoon included.
