FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Septem-
L Der 4-Fred J. Perry of Eng
land has one virtue that no
i other player in the fifty-fourth
mems national singles tennis cham
pionship can claim.
1t Is consistency.
Perry can and at times does turn
in an indifferent performance, but
not when anything is at stake. He
wasn't too impressive in his early
matches, but his exhibition in trounc-
ing frankie Parker, fourth-ranking
American, dissipated any notion the
defending champion would take I'M
due chances.
Seeks Unique Distinction.
LIE WANTS to be the first foreigner
i TO win the American title three
times.
Perry's next opponent is Frank
Shields. No. 3 on the United States
list They will meet in the quarter
finals, but it will take more than
Shields booming service to upset the
brilliant Englishman.
The one player in the home-bred
ranks considered to have much chance
of extending Perry is young Don
Bulge of Oakland. Calf, sensation
at Wimbledon this year. They are
prospective finalists. Bulge, only 20,
is rapidly on the way up, but appar-
emily lacks the consistency and expert
ence to do more than force Perry to an
extra set or so.
Final Slated Sunday.
A s THE result of yesterdays rain,
which caused the second post
ponement since the mems, women's
and veterans championships started
last Thursday, the mems final now Is
scheduled for Sunday at the earliest.
Today's program calls for the
fourth-round mems matches, pitting
Wilmer Allison against Gene Mako
and Roderich Mcneil against Gregory
S. Mangin.
Helen Jacobs, defending champion,
meets Evelyn Dearman of England in
a third-round match. A quarter-flnal
match brings together Mrs. Sarah Pal
frey Fabyan and Freda James of Eng
land. They met in the same round a
year ago. with Mrs. Fabyan winning

1t is the Congress that must
be corrupted if the Government

dangerous than the radicals

Public sentiment will ulti-

But to purge the Congress the
people themselves must act in

Third, prOgresSives "ThOse

Four, radicals - Revolution

Radicals around the Presi.

MASS OPERATIONS
Why this amazing regional
shift in organized deviltries,
which good people always have
deplored but haven't been able
to do anything about? They
tell me it's that or Debbil mass
production again. Pari-mutuels,
natural and inevitable develop
ment of the machine age, have
furthered horse racing and dog
racing as sports fitted to large
scale, regimented, mass gam
bling operations as opposed to
the crude laiSseZ-faire of tie
sanded dock, the trained dice
and the needed roulette wheel.
Mass production, which New
England invented, so far as
America is concerned, requires
q high concentration Of popula.
ton and a degree of stable or.
ganization which such old and
orderly governments as those Of
New England can best provide,
with, of course, something in
the kitty for, the State. It was
that way with the Demon Run
in New England. They let him
live, but how they made him
kick in!
While it is true that the old
West of the fictioneerS has

What's gnawing you is that she

What a Nice Gal Oughta Be.
Like most of us, you've con-
trived a pet pattern for human
behavior. Has this pattern any
relation to human nature in
general, and Helen Wills
Moody's nature in particular?
None at all.
It is the product of your per-
sonal peeves and prejudices,
and fitted solely to your own
measurements. It Is the way
you think things SHOULD be
the way you'd like to have them
be. Then along comes Helen
with her Partisan fluff and, Of
course, the pattern doesn't fit.
So what? so YOU BLOW UP!
And Immediately decide that

it. DON'T DAST! Our stupid,
lazy, cowardly natures aren't up
to the job. So instead Of broad
ening outselves-we penalize
him.
And this internal practice has
still another evil fruit. Often
the very victims Of our pettiness

States, it is back with a bang.

nearly 20 million dollars in
bets. The total since May for

and New Hampshire is figured
at around 40 million dollars.

ham meet, bets were $8,248,4O8,
with q daily average of 1884,.
428. A little over six million
dollars was recorded at the
Narragansett meet in Rhode
Island, with daily bets of around
$38O,OOO. With the State get.
ting 31a per cent, the promoters
get four times as much, and the
public takes a beating to the
tune of about the joint take Of
the former two participants.
In 1920, testimony was given
before the U. S. Senate Judic-
iary Committee that race-track
bets in the United States
totalled $3.50, 100000 yearly.
There were only four States
then in which track betting was
legal. Since then many more
States have restored it, either
with pari-mutuels or by legaliz-
ing book-making, in direct or
indirect form. With the public
flocking in eagerly everywhere,
it is easy to see that the ponies
are kicking loose lot of wealth.
Assets are never frozen long in
the hands of the race track
crowds.
Throughout history, rulers
have been intent on keeping the
masses clear of gambling.
Statutes and DEGREES never have
been leveled at rich men or
mobiles. When, in 1897, the pro-
vost of Paris forbade tennis,
bowls, cards, dice or nine-pins"
on working days, he carefully
restricted his decree to working
men. Attacks of reformers and
churchmen on gambling almost
invariably have been directed
against the games in which the
masses participated.
SOCIAL SANCTION
Against this historic back
ground, it is interesting to note
that, for the first time in the
history of America. there Is
high social and official sane
ton for gambling in which
hundreds of thousands, posi-"
bly, millions, participate. None
other than Mrs. Oliver Harri-
man is taking the lead in the
energetic campaign to legalize
lotteries.
The war seemed to soften
the attitude of this country
toward gambling. The soldier
boys developed the art OF crap
shooting to a high degree, and
it was in the postwar years
that the cubes began to roll
in American drawing rooms for
the first time. But, moving
into O. new wide-open era, we
carry over certain old re-
Straints and regulations. Curl.
ously, a man frequently will
regard a poker debt as a more
pressing obligation than busi-
ness debt.
The law does not enforce a
gambling contract. You can
be gypped in a gambling game
and have no redress. But the
law is right on the job to tax
race track bets. Will there be
a "Soak the lucky" out-cry
when gambling gets to be our
major industry and we start
setting its legal and ethical
metes and bounds?
