Coming Here

On July 10 large group of
tennis players viii descend upon
Tacoma to play in the 49th annual
Pacific Northwest Tennis cham
pionships. presented at the Tacoma
Lawn Tennis club.
Bumper contingents of Califor-
mans and oregonians will be here
to compete against the best meters
that Tacoma. Seattle and other
Washington cities have to offer.
The tourney opens on a Monday.
with the finals to be concluded the
following Saturday.
As usual. the cream Of the
crop will likely hail from Cali
fornia. A fine entry il indi-
Gated from the southern state,
including Edwin Amark, San
Francisco, who copied the
mems singles title last year.
Others from the state where it
never rains will be Harold Wagner,
San Francisco. semi-finalist last
year; William Reedy. Larry Hall
and Tom Chambers-all of Los
Angeles.
Stout competition will be given
them. however. by Dick Bennett,
now of Tacoma, but national inter-
collegiate doubles champion while
a student at University of Cali
fornia. Bennett. though heavily
favored. lost to Amark in the finals
Of the mems singles last year.
George Chessum, also of Tacoma,
and Mel Dranga and George
Ravenscroft, both of Seattle, are
the only other Washington players
who are given any rating against
the Californians.
Unlike most years when junior
players usually predominant among
the California visitors don Bulge
and many other acknowledgement
players once gained valuable ex-
perience here while juniors) the
junior entry is sparse and not
particularly impressive. Bes
known are Chip Cheney, Beverley
Hills. and Phil Harmon, Oakland,
brother of Bobby Harmon, who ap-
peared here several years ago,
shortly after he won the national
boys title.
Pearce Smith, Don Peck and
Jim Brink. all Of Seattle, and
Richard Meyer, Stadium high
star-all of whom are to COM
pete in Portland next week
will be the leading contenders
for h0nors in the junior
division.
Last years winner and runner
up in the women's singles-Bar-
bara Duncan, Alameda, and Helen
Gurley, Sacramento, will again be
on deck, but they will be seeded
behind May Doeg, Pasadena, rated
one of the outstanding feminine
stars in the nation.
Pat Greenup and Vivian Joseph,
both of Tacoma, appear to have
the best chance against the Cali
fornians, although other capable
entries would be Dorothy LaGasa
and Judy Fraser, well-known local
players.

Certainly, a vast majority of Americans
accept the precept of Kossuths exemplar,
George Washington, who wrote in stately Ian
guage: LET us with caution indulge the suppo-
sition that morality can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be conceded to the
influence of refined education on minds of pc
culiar structure, reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that national morality can
prevail in exclusion of the religious principle"
The First Chief Magistrates celebrated con-
temporary, Edmund Burke, surely put into
words nothing more than the common judg-
ment of civilized mankind when he affirmed
the truth that: Religion is the basis of civil
society,""
Humanity is not agnostic Of these funda-
mental axioms Possibly never before since
history began has there been so profound a
faith in freedom on the one hand and the senti-
ments of religion loyalty, love and mercy
on the other: Persecution has taught millions
of citizens of foreign lands to value their God
In America an increasing devotion likewise is
manifest. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
merely summarized the conviction of his coun-
trymen when he read the Beatitudes on Christ
mas Eve. The people of the United States are
people wise in knowledge of the past, hope for
the future. Both their confidence and their
aspiration derive from their religious philos-
ophy The occasional doubter only serves to
prove the rule.
