Americans Defeat
Germans At Tennis
CONTINUED from Page ~

, shots were continually whipping
down at the Germans feet as they
came into the net. These low re-
turns forced them to lift their re-
turns in the air, and the Ameri-
cans belabored the high hoaters
beautifully.
Lund was particularly guilty OF
returning the Americans "sitters"
in this set.
The Americans established their
winning margin in the sixth game
when they broke the Baron's SER
vice on a lucky netcord by Allison
and Won Cramm weakened off his
forehand. The Americans led 40-15
in the seventh game with a smash.
Lund slammed home service acc
to win the eighth, but Allison held
in the ninth as Won Cramm outed
one of Van Ryn's whistling, low
returns.
Won Cramm and Lund won the
third set, Us.
Won Cramm Brilliant
The Americans played in top
form in the third set but were
unable to offset the play Of the
brilliant Won Cramm, who carried
the burden Of the opposition on his
magic racquet. The baron was all
over the court for shots, and his
perfect STACEY often confused Alli-
son and Van Ryn.
The Germans broke through
service in the sixth game as Allison
netted a pair of easy returns. The
Americans pulled up from 0-40 to
deuce in the seventh game, but
Allison finally lost the game with
another simple out.
Americans Rallied
The Americans rallied in the
next three games with great smash
ing and brilliant network. In the
18th Lund, as If to make up for
his poor showing earlier, served
magnificent love game. The Ameri-
cans led 400 in the 18th but Lund
thrice brought it to deuce with
terrific smashes. The Americans
went to advantage again, but Van
Ryn foot-faulted. The Germans
didn't miss this time, as Won
Cramm slammed placement
down the sidelines and then forced
Van Ryn into error with steam
ing backhand to the corner.
The U. S. team won the fourth
set, 81, to draw even with the
Germans, two sets each.
Americans Magnificent
The Americans made a magnifi-
cent stand in this set. Twice in the
10th game the Germans stood at
match point, and twice the Ameri-
cans, once on a service in the 18th
to put the Germans, 6-5, but Won
Cramm gave the Americans but
one point off his service in the
18th, and again the Americans held
their backs to the wall.
But Allison was equal to the
task. He held his service in the
14th, despite miserable support by
his partner. and in the 18th the
Texan rose to superb heights to
break Lund's service and put his
team ahead. Twice in this game
Allison brought off almost unbe-
lievable cross-court backhand
placements for points.
They lost one of the match
points, the second, when a foot
fault was called on Van Ryn as
he served his second ball. The
Americans led 800 in this game.
but Won Cramm, playing unbelieve-
ably superb tennis, twice split Van

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE REVOLT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

That the revolt against the leadership of Pres-
dent Roosevelt seriously menaces the consistency
and continuity of his policies in his second term
cannot be denied. He has by no means lost his
power, nor is he likely soon to sink to the position
of Illustration that President Wilson experienced in
the latter half of his second administration. That
President Roosevelt may have an experience not
greatly different from that of his last Democratic
predecessor in his later years is not improbable.
Waves of popular approval in times of great emo
tonal stress, such as those of 1912-18 and the
years since 1882 are as tickle they are violent
The desertiOn of the President by about twenty
Democratic senators on the public works program,
in the face of ardent efforts by the President him
self to prevent such detection, is not only serious
for his leadership but it is ominous for the public
welfare. The President insisted that in employing
labor on the projects to be carried out by the
$4,000, 900, 900 public works program, wages for
ordinary labor should be at about fifty dollars a
month At the demand of the American Federation
of Labor (which, incidentally comprises about one
eighth of the country's laboring population; but
and there's the rub--a we'll organized minority
the Senate, by majority of one vote, amended
the bill 50 as to require that prevailing wages
should be paid
The requirement of prevailing wages" is bad
from every standpoint To begin with, it will make
impossible the employment of more than about
twO-thirds of the number of men that could be
employed at the scale of wages proposed by the
President. More serious is the fundamentally vi
cious fact that to pay prevailing wages" on gcV-
eminent relief work would build up compact,
organized minority determined to have the govern
ment permanently maintain this wasteful system.
Every sort of government relief should be 1T
such rates that every man receiving the benefit
would be glad to shift from government employ
ment to private employment. To make government
work of any kind more attractive than private
work OF TIE same grade is always dangerous. To
make government work that is created for the pur-
pose of absorbing unemployment preferable to pri-
vate employment is nothing less than perilous. Per-
sisted in, it means the permanent decline of ma
tional resources, energy and progress.
Now is the time above all others that the Presi-
dent needs the support of public spirited citizens

see no objection to private raids
on the public treasury and to
the use of public positions to re-
ward their political friends who
may or may not have any quail
fications whatever for filling the
positions.
Honesty to some persons other

and as inconvenient in political
and governmental matters as a

The Past
What has happened is Of the
past, and we should not let the
past poster us. If thinking Of the
past binders us in going ahead.
then we should refuse to think of
the past. We should use the past
only in a constructive way, name

in the present and the future.
Everybody falls down, or is pull

unfortunate experience, no mat
ter what it is, can be helpful to
our progress if we will but view
it as a means Of making US wiser.

-hese suspended sentences.

THESE SuSpeIueu ooH'0h0e0'
How many times, dear readers, have you
heard of a suspended court sentence being
enforced when the terms of the sentence
were violated? Is it not usually the case
that the confirmed criminal given sus-
pended sentence goes out of court to re-
sumo whatever course of law breaking
brought them into court in the first case?
The Times-News believes SO per cent. OF
law-observing citizens of North Carolina
want the laws enforced and that percent
age is convinced that imposing suspended
sentences is not law enforcement; but, at
the same time, it is practically certain that
organized and systematic action by the
great body of good citizens is going to be
necessary to rid North Carolina of the sus-
pended sentence evil.
