 The answer is that the lass isn't the daughter of the old crone at all. She is one of half a dozen young belles employed to bring home the bank notes. And they play fair with her, turning in a percentage of every "loan" acquired from the nice elderly gentlemen. The reason they play fair is that the old crone-who has plenty takes care of them during lean times. If they run into poor luck, Mother" gladly provides victuals and bed.

EugliSh-born Winston Guest, is an
overwhelming favorite to defeat Eng
land in the series for the Westchester

have its best chance since the war Of
waning the international trophy. That
idea was quickly changed. however,
when Guest. Eric Pedley. Mike Phipps
and Stewart Iglehart went into action
The only time the visitors had any
trouble at all in practice matches
was in their final tilt. when they beat
Roehampton. 9-6.
Meanwhile Eugland. despite an ap-
parent wealth of high goal talent,
failed to produce a team that worked
effectively. A final blow to the British
prospects was struck yesterday when
it was learned definitely that Rao
Rajah Hanut Singh. the Indian stylist
who was recruited in defiance of all
tradition to bolster the wobbly team.
would be unable to play in the first
game tomorrow.
Hanut, the first Indian ever Sc
lected for the English team, suffered

But Martin, easily the No.
rookie to date In the National
League, was an out and -out un.
known.
A couple Of months ago Martin bore
no rating. In the Cardinals training
camp he wasn't even regarded as
serious contender for a utility berth.
In 1885 he played most Of his games in
the outfield with Asheville of the Pied
mont League. He batted .339, but the
pitching in the Piedmont League is
vastly different to that in the ma jors.
Without taking such a direct step,
Stu's history parallels that of his
manager and the man he replaced at
second base-Frisch. The Fordham
Flash of 1919 jumped from the campus
to the Giants infield with breath
taking speed. Martin didn't make the
leap as fast as Frankie, but there Is a
resemblance in their careers.

That was the striking,
but sad, truth brought home on Sun
day when Barney WSsh conquered
Yelverton Garnett for the city of
Washington championship before a
crowd of nearly 500 on the courts Of
the Edgemoor Club
Even before Sunday 1t had been be-
moaned that Washington spectators
were an unappreciative lot. given to
accept high-grade net play here
without a shrug of the shoulder and
loath to applaud except on excep-
tional occasions. Sunday 1t went to
the opposite extreme.
Instead of confning its applause to
the generations of winning shot, it
allowed partissnship to creep in and
be manifest through hand-clapping
over errors. At one time it even went
so far as to voice It's sentiments audi

have been brought UP in and edu-
Gated in a game whose tradition de-
crees silence during the progress Of a
point. it Is disconcerting. to say the
least. when tradition is broken. Much
more so in a crucial championship
match.
Welsh and Garnett would be the last
ones to show their displeasure at such
tactics during a match. They may
know 1t to be rude and have their own
opinions of the lndiscreet persons. but
their expressions never betrayed them

But if we're going to insist on the
cleavage with the past, let's start do

Let's get the players used to 1t in un-
important and practice matches.
WE WON'T be seeing SO much of the
w new City Of Washington champ
for the rest Of the month. Starting
today at Hartford, Welsh is due to play
in three tournaments in as many
weeks. Barney plays his first round
match in the New England champion
ships this afternoon before going to the
National Clay Courts tournament in
Chicago next Monday. Incidentally,
If he reaches the finals at Hartford,
he'll not play in the Hotchkiss Cup
matches Saturday. The 22d will find
him at the Foxchapel Golf Club in
Pittsburgh Pa, for the Middle States
championships.
In fact, it's not altogether certain
that Barney will return here on the
29th to defend the title he won in the
District of Columbia tournament last
