WORLD net ACES
AT LONGWOOD

BROOKLNE, Mass, Aug. %
ON. Si.-Kings and queens of
tennis converged upon Longwood
Cricket Club today for the open
ing of the National Doubles play.
They came from many parts
of the United States, from France,
England, Germany, Australia,
Jugoslavia and from Japan.
Head and shoulders above all
stood international champion Don
Bulge, Of Oakland, Cal, consid-
cred !. by many the master Of
singles and doubles technique. He
is regarded as one of Americas S
strongest hopes to win back the
championship.
Teamed with Bulge is Gene
Mako, Of Los Angeles. Together
they form the top-Seeded Ameri.
can combination in the mems
division.
In the absence Of a defending
team-and with Germany's Hen
ner Henkel deprived of his 1897
doubles partner, Baron Gottfried
Won Cramm play loomed wide
open. Last year the Henkel-Von
Cramm combination defeat e d
Bulge and Mako for the cham
pionship.
Fresh from her sweeping vic,
tory in the Essex County Club
tournament, Miss Alice Marble, of
Beverly Hills, Cal, was ready with
Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, Of
Cambridge, to defend the women's
title they captured in 1897.

There are two kinds of fox
terriers-the smooth-haired and
the Northumberland although
1t has often been claimed by
many that the wirehair is iden-
tical with the smooth, person
ally do not believe this to be
true. Tie wire-haired variety
more closely resembles the orig
inal or true terrier type, al
though sometimes in certain
litterS a smooth puppy may be
found. He is perhaps a throw
back" in some direction from
the ancestral tree.
Even though two different
types for all practical purposes,
the standard, generally speak
ing, is almost exactly the same
for both breeds with the excep-
tion of coat. However, I believe
that each type should adopt its
own standard, because as most
terrier fenciers realize, the wire
hair is not only different in ap-
pearance for reason of his rough
coat, but is also inclined to be
more of an "airish," arrogant
ariStocrat than his smooth
haired brother. Since it is ap-
parent tnat each class has its
own decided characteristics, 1
do not believe that a short
haired pup in a litter Of wires
should be allowed to be regis
tered as a smooth as is possible
at the present time. Perhaps as
time goes on and both classes
become even more definitely
separated from each other, such
a situation will seldom, if ever,
arise.
The smooth is more popular
in England, whereas in America,
the wirehair, despite the neces-
sity for proper plucking, has
captured the public fancy and is
a great tavorite because of his
dignity and manner which he
uses to hide the devil-may-care
disposition Of a canine play
boy"
No matter whether a smooth.

ASKED FOR YOUTH.
Defense Maintains Carroll
Was Insane at Time
Girl Was Slain.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Defense
counsel demanded "the chair or moth
ing" today for 16-year-old Donald
Carroll. who killed his sweetheart be-
cause he said she preferred death to
unmarried motherhood.
Sydney Rosenthal, summing up the
evidence before Queen County jury
Of middle-aged married men. nine OF
them fathers, declared the boy was
temporarily insane when he made
death pact with 18-year-old Charlotte
Matthiesen, whom he had loved
ardently for two years.
His reasoning was defective-he
didn't know he was doing wrongful
act" Rosenthal declared. HE was
the victim of environmental insanity"
Assistant District Attorney Joseph
v. Loscalzo said he would demand the
supreme penalty for what he called "a
deliberate, premeditated, cold-blooded
murder"
With this statement he dispelled
earlier indications that he might be
content with lesser verdict.
Carroll, son Of a retired Army
officer, drummed his flngertips on the
counsel table almost constantly as
the opposing lawyers made their final
pleas.
The parents of the slain girl, Mr..
and Mrs. Fred MAtthiesen, sat with
members of the boys family. Mrs.
Matthiesen wept softly as Rosenthal
made his mo compromise" plea and
her husband, 4s today, said Il hope
the boy gets off,"
