 cynthia, in ivory satin and old gold ornaments, was more radiant than Janet had ever seen her. In fact, from the beginning 1t was really Cynthia's evening . Not that Janet cared about that.

 IN TWO T0URNEYS

San Francisco, Jan. 23 -- (U.P) --The golfing brigade headed south today trailing Dick Metz, young Chicago professional who became the leading money winner of 1889 by anneXing the San Francisco match championship.
 The handsome, dark -haired Metz played the 36-hole final in 72-69- Al, one under par figures, to score e one up victory over Horton Smith, tall Joplin, Mo, stylist, yesterday. It was worth $l.000 and Metz banked it with the $l,200 he won the pre- vious week in the Oakland open.
 Last stop on the California winter circuit will be at Del Mar for Bing Crosby's $3,000 36-hole pro-amateur show. Then the money players head east again, stopping at Phoenix, San Antonio and New Orleans.

Tennis CLINICS
PLANNED 70 CURE
COURT DISEASES

ATLANTA, July 7. Tennis has
borrowed from the medical profess
sion an idea that may nip in the bud
tennis ills for thousands of young
sters. 1t is the clinic plan.
In medicine, the clinic means
mass examinations, diagnosis and
treatment of maladies. AS applied
to tennis, 1t means mass instruction
and the ironing out of playing faults
before they become ingrained.
Developed by the president of a
small South Carolina college, the
tennis clinic is now four years old
and is beginning to spread to far
sections of the U. S.
The idea received its first big
boost when the U. S. Lawn Tennis
Association sanctioned it and des-
ignated the original clinic at Pres
byterian College, Clinton, S. c., as
a model. DR.. William P. Jacobs,
president of the college and devel-
oper of the plan, was made chair
man of clinic committee of the
national association. Things began
to happen.
How II Works
Tennis clinics have been held In
several districts. One regional or
ganization, the Southern Lawn Ten
mis- Association, electing DIR. Jacobs
as its president, made advancement
of the clinic program its main OBJ
jective for next year.
Association officials said they
hoped to arrange for clinics in each
of the nine states of their territory
and to see that at least 1000 boys
and girls get off to right start"
in tennis each year.
Here is the way the clinic oper-
ates:
A school, college or some other
institution .arranges for a staff of
expert tennis instructors and in
vites youngsters from a given area
to be its guests for a period of in
structiOn, usually three or four days.
In addition to instruction, the young
players hold tournaments or elm
nations, play informally and watch
as many exhibition games by crack
players as the host institution can
arrange.
DR.. Jacobs had SO youngsters at
his college the first year he held
the clinic. The second year there
were $50; the third, ITO. Last spring
SO many wanted to come that some

accord on ideas which Swanson
described as IAN American empire
of floating fortresses second to
none" One of his early pronounce
ments as Secretary of the Navy
was in favor of building up the
American fleet to treaty limits, thus
maintaining the 5-5-3 ratio as
among the United States, Great
Britain and Japan.
Goes to Geneva
He took these ideas with him
when President Hoover sent him
to Geneva as one of the American
delegates to the general disarma-
ment conference of 1928. There
he opposed German and Italian
plans, backed by Russian, Ruman-
ian and Dutch members of the con-
ference, for abolition of battleships
He advocated instead the aban-
donment of the submarine as a
naval weapon, declaring that the
underwater boats were the assas-
sins of the seas"
International Cooperation
Swanson was a firm believer in
international cooperation After the
World War he was one of the chief
supporters of President Wilson'S
attempt to get the United States
into the League of Nations. He also
advocated American adherence to
the World Court.
He was born March 81, 1862, at
SWanSOnville, Va, a town named
Tor MS family. His father was a
tobacco planter, but the son had
to work for his education. At 16
he was school teacher for one
year, then attended Virginia Poly
technic Institute for one semester.
Was Grocery Clerk
Then he had to go to work again
and he became a clerk in a grocery
at Danville. Finally, with the help
of loan from business men of
that city, he graduated from Ran
dolph Macon College and then
went through the law school of the
University of Virginia.
He practiced Law for a few years
at Chatham, Va, and, in 1893, his
long service in Washington. The
only interruption was four-year
term as governor of his state, end
ing February, 1910. The following
August he was named to fill out an
unexpired term in the Federal Sem
ate and he was in his fifth term
when he resigned to enter the
Roosevelt cabinet.
Swanson was popular in Wash
ington. A ready speaker, with a
large store of negro anecdotes
which he could fit into any occa-
sion, he was in demand at BAN
quets and was always the center
of any story swapping group that
gathered in the cloak rooms of

SALISBURY BEACH. Mass, May
31-Pat Dengis of Baltimore, the
national marathon champion who
has suffered so many disappoint-
ments on previous trips to this vi
cinity, was consoled today by his
second record d-breaking victory in
the Lawrence-Salisbury Beach
grind
The 39-year-old aircraft mechanic
who has been trying to gain Bos-
ton A. A. marathon victory for
years, ran 73 rivals into the ground
yesterday while plodding the 26
miles 385 yards in 232:5425. about
33 seconds faster than his 1888 per-
formance.
He finished about three-quarters
of mile ahead of Johnny Kelley
of Arlington, at whose shoulder he
ran until they passed the 20-mile
mark in Amesbury. There Dengis
pulled away without being chal-
lenged.
Gerard Cote of Verdun, Quebec,
placed third. Paul Donate and
George Durgin of Boston were
fourth ana fifth, and the veteran
Clarence Demar of Keene, N. H.,
turned in one of his best perform
ances in several years to cross the
line in sixth place.
