stretched out cold back by the base

! ed through the Davis cup selectmen
as they watched him thump Donald
Bulge in the finals of the White

Bitsy, reports our White Sulphur
spy, hit the ball 81 times in the last
rally Ct the match. Bulge could
hit it but Sc times which just fell
short by one of being enough. I
imagine that only their fine sense
Of dignity prevented the cup select

court and throttling Bitsy and his
oXasperating steadineSs once and foY

easier for them had Bulge, after
sweeping the first two sets, contin-

have Strengthened their ties, cleared
their throatS, and named Bulge and

They still may do just that, but oh

saying that if BitSy is again side
tracked in favor of players who can
beat him at wearing pleated flan-

playing tennis, 1 intend to bay like
a hound dog at full moon and fun

If the Selectmen do forget Grant
when the team to play the AuSsies
is named, it won't be because they
have any legitimate reason. He's
been beating Bulge like Aunt Katie

him when the chips are down. In
the quarter-finals at Forest Hills,
for example. And at White Sui
phur, which is definitely a Davis cup
tryout 1t won't do them any good
to fall back on that old one about
Grant being strictly a clay court

spring tournaments aren't honest
trials, then let's quit calling them
trials.
In a year or two Bulge, if he
doesn't lose his keeness for the
game, probably will be better ten
mis- player than Grant ever hoped To
be. But he isn't right now. He's
much better"to look at than the
scrambling little Albanian, and
when he's hot he is hotter than
Grant. But figured over the season
the Californian's average mean
temperature won't run as high as
BitSy's. You never can tell about
Bulge when he steps on the court
He is just as likely TO run a chill as
fever. Grant, on the other hand
stays a nice even warm temper
ature the year round. Their exper-
ience with Sidney B. Wood, Jr.,
should have taught the cup moguls
that 1t doesn't pay to gamble with
hot and cold player. Sidney could
beat anybody in the world when he
was right, but the trouble was he
never could get right.
The selectmen gambled quite a
while on Frank Shields, too. Frank
was all right, except for the fact he
didn't have any backhand. This
left him sorely handicapped when
playing opponents who we're not
courteous enough to respect his dis
ability Which meant he was handi-
capped all the time He was carried
to Europe two or three times in the
hope he would find a backhand
growing on tree or lying in the
street. but he never did. Now he's
in HOLLYWOOD, where YOU only need
a gladhand.
Grant hasn't any real weakness.
He won't comb his hair or keep his
pants pressed, it's true, but what
dose 1t matter? Beau Brummel
never cot past the first round at
Wimbledon.

'cO9SC ana promises to hand The
Eel Centre Negro his first setback
of the year. Graves, a deadly
puncher and a clever boxer, will
prove plenty tough, however, and
it is our guess that Estrada will

Tins.
Sylvester Lucio will meet Jose
Ybarra in a fight that may steal
the show. Ybarra is an experience
ed fighter and kncfJs all the
tricks. He also possesses a good
punch and the ability to keep
away from an opponents blows.
Lucio is plenty fast, however,
and can throw leather faster and
thicker than anyone seen in the
valley. He hits hard and accur-
ately in spite of the seemingly
purpoSelesS swinging and has man
aged to score knockout victories
over every opponenC 10 date.
Harry Arlington, who has pro
vided some real battles in the
BraWley arena will take on Fran
els Richards. Richards puts ON
great Show but may not last the
full distance against Arlington.

neXed his first fight in the BraW-

a match for Childers as he has
had much experience and is cap
able for making the best of boxers
step to whip him.
Bob Vauter will meet Alex Nc
Grath in another battle that will
be among the best of the evening.
Vauter is a cool fighter and may
upset McGrath with his accurate
left jab and fast right hooks. Nc

Accusing the Administration Of
promulgating measures that hurt
the wage Garner, the farmer and
the consumer, he continued:
But by far the greatest crime
against the worker by this Ad-

ment Of class hatred. There is
enough trouble between the

Seryice)
LONDON, Sept. 9 G.N.S0 The
modern English girl is chided for
losing her love of brass buttons
by Col. George Herbert, of the
Wiltshire regiment. He said:
81 am sorry to hear that at
the present time young (English)
girls don't set the same store
by a soldier as they used to.
I'm the good old days, every
girl loved a soldier or a sailor,
and a damn good thing, too. At
present, every girl merely loves
q cinema star or the young man
in 'civvieS,' who will walk down
the street with her with his arm
around her neck"
While the good colonel may have
been ribbing me, it is still evil
dent there is a decline through
out England in the attraction of
o military uniform. ..
The British government, fever
ishly rearming the Empire in the
face of intense continental COM
petition, is having rough time
filling UP it's territorialS to full
strength. CThe British territorials
are similar to the National Guard
Of the United StateSD
And the British are having an
equally difficult task in recruiting
the regular imperial forces, de-
spite ingenious schemes.
A. Duff Cooper, British Minister
of War, attacks the pacifists who
are fighting against army recruit
ing. He said:
1--WE are told we should never
brighten people but think 1t is
the duty of all those persons in
authority to brighten the people
of this country out Of their wits.
"The situation in Europe Is
far worse than it was in 1914.
And still we are joking, laugh
ing and refusing to face facts
and allowing people publicly to
preach the doctrine it is wicked
to defend women and children
from attacks by poison gas.
London today is short of
men to man her defenSes against
air attacks. You would think
that even pacifistS would think
It was right to try to defend
this great center Of population
from the abOminatiOn of air at
tack.
"TheSe worthy, reverent, sim
cere gentlemen delight in per-
suading young men not to join
the antiaircraft units Of the
territorial army"
Then the war minister took a
crack against the oratorical paci,
fism at oxford and Cambridge
universities. He said:
1--WE know that when the
Oxford Union passed a reSOlu-
ton to say that they will not
fight for their country, that this
is merely a foolish action by a
lot of silly boys.
"The Cambridge Union has
to go one better and passed a
resolution a few weeks ago say
ing q strong Britain was not q
good thing for the world.
"In doing that they are only
trying, as they always do, to
beat Oxford. But abroad those
announcements are taken as i'm
pOrtant facts, proving that the
youth of England has lost its
character; that it is decadent,
and that it is not prepared to
defend this country"
Lord Ponsonby, the Labor peer,
thinks the war minister should
be arrested for his "militaristic
propaganda"
