Nv HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK. June 10. CUP
This is written as l gaze toward the
mantlepiece at the gold loving cup
presented to me last December for
being the most non-skeptical sport
writer of 1899.
Everyone knows that I am no
snoop. keep my nose out of other
peoples business and I strictly ad-
here to the theory of live and let
live. But today I'm going to change
my ways. I want to inquire just
why the white flanneled fathers Of
the United States Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION happened to pick 1910 as
the year to enforce the eight week
expense rule.
Now if l were snoop at heart. ]
would say fatty there might be
some tie-up between the sudden
enforcement of this regulation and
the fact that the European war
has eliminated Davis Cup compe-
tition from the 1910 tennis sched-
ulc. But if l did thatsI might have
to give back my loving cup. SO
instead of saying 1t fatty, I'm
merely going to hint it.
From my mantlepiecc it looks as
if the U. S. l.. T. A. action was
simply another expression OF the
workings of the law of supply and
demand. Last year there was a
great deal of demand but not much
of a supply The United States was
challenged by the Australian Davis
Cup team and Davis Cup match
meant gold in the U. S. L. T. A.
Golfers. Plenty of gold.
So the word was passed around
that anything went. The association
needed strong players. and every
man. youth and boy with two arms
and a change of rackets was cod
died like an Indian princeling. The
stratosphere was the limit. No food
was too good. no linen too fine for
the representatives of Uncle Sam
the nick name I have chosen for the
United States.
But now, now things are a great
deal different. There will be no
Davis Cup matches this year nor
perhaps next year or even 1912. The
demand is no longer there. So what
happens? So the u. S. l.. T. A.
cracks the eight-week whip. From
now on no player will be permitted
to have his expenses paid for more
than eight weeks of competition
each year From now on the lush
gravy circuits in Bermuda, Florida
Long Island and Newport will be
almost closed to the boys who can't
e.-l, -
week allotment is used up.
Actually, this action will lead
only to new subterfuges. Tennis
players never have paid their own
way except in a few isolated cases

Why Mems Pants
Wear Out at Knees
9 Taxicabs

For some years we have been
quietly ashamed of the fact that
our trousers wear out at the
knees before the cloth pops else
where.
Recently we had a confession
from a young man that his suits
went the same way. Now we are
completely at ease because we
noted on women's page in a
newspaper that the way to COM
pei a thrifty husband to buy
himself a new suit is for the
wife deliberately to poke holes in
the old suits knee.
Hence we conclude that mod
ern man spends his waking
hours crossing and re-crossing
his legs. He used to just sit and
wear out the seat. Increased
nervous tension is probably re-
sponsible for focusing wear in
another place.

When the British burned the
capitol, the White House, and
other public buildings in Wash
ington, they did a systematic
job of it, sending squads of
soldiers to each building with
orders to burn it. However,
when a detail of troops under an
officer marched up to the struct-
ure housing the patent office
with its thousands of nondescript
models, DR.. William Thornton,
the first commissioner of pat
ents, appealed to the officer in
charge to spare the building lest
the British go down in history

Impressed by DR.. Thornton's ap-
peal, the officer marched his de-
tail off without firing the pat

STOCKHOLM. May 3. CUP)-Al-
lied eXpeditionary forces which
withdrew from their Norwegian
coastal base at bomb shattered
Namsos-reportedly under severe
German aerial attack believed
today to be establishing a new oper-
ations center in the north near Mos
joen.
Reports to neutral diplomatic sour
ces that the British and French
were shifted to the Mosjoen area,
mid way between Trondheim and
Narvk. were not otherwise con-
fiImed. but 1t was said that troops
and heavy equipment of the Allies
were being transported nOrthward.
Norwegian troops from the Nam
sos sector were believed to be re-
firing northWard up narrow valley
road toward MoSjoen and Mo, where
German airplaneS could operate less
easily than in central Norway.
The German air fleet was report
ed in unofficial messages from the
NamSoS sector to have made a final
raid in which machine gun bullets
were rained on the British and
French embarking to leave Nam
SOS. Abandonment of that base fol-
lowed withdrawal of Allied troops
from the central Norwegian base at
AndalSnes which ended operations
against the Germans south OF

Trondheim except for scattered Nor
Weglan resistance.
Dispatches from Norwegian mill.
tary sources said that the German
troops from Trondheim had taken
the town of Stoeren, a railroad
junction which had been held bv
the British and NorWegians, and
mad pushed on southwark against
severe opposition by Norwegian SOL
dlerS left in the Rognes area.
A severe battle was reported in
progress near Rognes, between Ger
mans and Norwegian troops left in
that sector, Rognes is a few miles
southeast of Stoeren on the railroad
leading to Roeros.
Messages from the Namsos area
said that German planes hammered
the Allied troops as they withdrew
from the NamSOS base. north of
Trondheim and thus gave gave up
all of Norway except, the narrow
northern coastal fringe centering
around Narvik.
One eyewitness description of
the evacuation OF Namsos said that
the Allied troops went aboard war
ships under "a hail of machine gun
bullets from German airplanes, in
dlcating that they might have Suf-
tered considerable losses in con-
traSt to the British claim Yesterday
that they had abandoned their
landing base south of Trondheim at
AndalSneS without loss.
The Allies left NamsoS 80 hastily
that much of their equipment was
abandoned in the streets and alone
the way" according to one message
quoting the story of an eyewitness
who reached Grong from NamSos.
The Norwegian legation Spokes-
man had few details but said that
Norwegian headquarters at Formo-
foss, near NamsoS, had confirmed
that all British and French troops
had departed
The number Of Allied troops at
NamSos was never definitely diSclos-
ed, but it was said today that the
Germans now have an army of pro-
badly 100000 men in Norway
