Wood staked his match on steadi-

the sll-around type.
The Shields -McGrath match was
mediocre In comparison, but Shields
simply blasted the little Australian of
the court by the power of his service,
volleying and unorthodox ground

Victory Well Earned.

YF EVER an American Davis Cup
team earned its position in the
challenge round by virtue of its
fighting spirit splendid physical con-
dition and refusal TO admit defeat. it
was the team this year Capt. Dick
Williams brought his men into the
fight in perfect condition and he and
they fully deserved their victory.
For a half hour before play started
Crawford worked out in practice, so
that he was warm and ready TO start
fast. 1t paid him well. He opened an
attack into Woods forehand, hitting
hard and accurately and twice break
ing Woods delivery before the Ameri-
can youth had really founo himself.
1t seemed to me that Wood did not
have quite the touch he displayed
Tuesday, while Crawford was def
nitely superior to his form of that
day. Wood gradually improved and
by magnificent work carried his score
to 5-4. The vital tenth game was
bitterly fought, Wood running miles
and coming to the net when the
opportunity offered.
Crawford won the set by a mag
nificent passing shot, followed by two
outs by Wood due largely to over
anxiety. The loss Of the. set ohyi-
ously upset Wood. He made two bad
errors and one double fault, while
Crawford scored with brilliant fore
hand passing shot.
Wood was concentrating on Craw-
ford's forehand but the Australian
still was playing too much to Woods
backhand. Crawford, sensing the
value Of the second game. pushed the
attack and came to the net bril-
liantly to save game that his own
costly double fault and two nets had

Both men strove for the net at
the opening Of the NTH set, and at

recognized that one break of service
would probably mean the match and
they we're putting everything they
had into their delivery.
The vital break came in the sixth
game through Crawford, when Wood
outsteadied him from the base line,
and Crawford's forehand failed him
in three costly errors. Wood forced
his way to So by keeping his attack
on Crawford's forehand. Two errors

Seems that, on the day she
quit work, old Rosie made her
way to the bank and drew out
every penny she had saved. The
same man had been serving her
for a long time, and he urged
her to be careful.
You're taking a lot of money
in cash, Rosie" he told her. I
wouldn't let it be known that
you are drawing out all your
money. Don't you think you're
foolish to do it?"
Rosie shook her head.
NO" she replied. Il appre-
ciate what you mean and l
promise I'll be careful. But don't
you worry about me-"
She smiled happily.

I've worked hard: Very hard.
Twenty-Five years with a pail
and a mop aren't much of a
pleasure. But that's all behind
me now, and maybe it has all
been worth while. It's some
thing in life to reach a goal,
isn't it?"
The teller nodded as he showed
the pile of bills across.
II suppose it is, Rosie, and I
wish you all the luck in the
world. I expect you're going to
buy yourself a little house in the
country, and settle down for the
rest of your years. That's it,
isn't it?"
Rosie drew back.
House in the country?" she
repeated. Il should say not. My
goal has been reached. I'm going
right over to Paris and have a
heluva time!" -.

tionS. You think about people
such as these, and you wonder
how they came to be what they
are. At least, I do. And I fig.
ure myself the average guy.
At any rate, Rosie fell into
that category. There isn't a
doubt that she was fairly we'll
educated-and that she diff
fered from the others in the
mop brigade by several million
miles.
When the others were paid,
many of them raced for a
bottle. But not old Rosie. Her
first move was to the bank on
the corner. And each pay day
found her putting away 81
out of her meager salary.
On Christmas, there was a
little extra money for her-and
that inevitably went the same
way. For almost Is years, she
had journeyed from the office
building to the bank. And
never had she been known to
enter the bank except to make
that same deposit.
AS I said before. the people
in the Majestic Building often
discussed her. And many were
the stories that were told about
her.

Another would nod.
You betcha," he'd agree, eff
it's true. But I heard another
angle. Somebody told me that
she came from a really fine
family, and that she went nuts
about some guy that her people
didn't want. AS I understand
it, she went with the guy any,
how.
Many Stories
And so the stories went. AS
the years rolled on, the tales
grew more and more fantastic.
There were many people who
wanted to ask old Rosie about
herself. but none ever did. They
just accepted that same wistful
smile, exchanged a few pleas
antries-and walked on.
And it's all very strange when
you stop to think that, after say.
ing 81 a week for Is years, Rosie
probably had more cash than
half the brokers whose offices
she scrubbed!...
A few weeks ago, Rosie quit
her job. She didn't make a
great to-do about it. She just
told people as they arrived in
the building that it was her
last day on the job.
"I've reached my goal" was
her simple explanation, land
I'm leaving here today. I just
wanted to say goodbye and to
thank you for being so nice to
me through the years"
She refused to add anything
more. And nobody knew what
her goal was until the teller in
the bank let the cat out of the
bag. And it is history that
makes this feeble tale a half
way decent column.

Her frail form, bent now from
years of toll, seemed actually to
be part of the building. With
the mop in one hand the pail
of water in the other, she would
offer that soft "good-morring"
to the workers she had known
through the years.
She had a meek, wistful smile
that people missed when they
failed to see her. Some of the
biggest men in the world of
money-men so social that they
sometimes refused to recognize
themselves-always exchanged a
word of cheer with old Rosie
whenever they saw her. She
knew them all, and they all
knew her.
And these very same big shots
often discussed her during lulls
in a luncheon hour. We humans
are funny that way. We may
have a thousand things on our
minds, but we always find time
to be curious about people who
do not concern us in the least.

But the captain was obdurate

So the first officer took it
