BRIDGEBORO, N. j., Jan. 10
Sorrel- Joe Burk, famed
sculler and right now fruit farm
or, thinks Tennist Alice Marble
deserved the James E. Sullivan Me-
meroial Trophy.
The unassuming oarsman was out
in the orchard pruning trees when
the news reached him yesterday
that he was winner of the coveted
award.
"Oh, did I get it?" he echoed
with a detachment that indicated
to the reporter that he was expect
ing 1t.
Proves Modest Athlete.
NO" drawled the victor in the
diamond sculls at the 1898 and 1899
Royal Henley regattas, "but I
thought Alice Marble would get it. I
think she deserved it. After all, she
won everything else in her line"
Burk accepted the tribute to his
promotion Of sportsmanship during
the past year with the same mod
esty he has displayed since he
started on the road to athletic fame
at the University Of Pennsylvania.
The first oarsman to Join the
select circle of Sullivan award win
ners says he has no intention Of
touching an oar until spring.
I'm Just q farmer now" he said.
A tribunal Of 600 top-ranking
sports leaders chose Burk for the
accolade named for the man who
headed the American Athletic
Union prior to his death in 1914.
Jones First to Get It.
Bobby Jones was the first to re-
ceive the award In 1880, and until
yesterday it had gone to success
sion of track, tennis and golf stars.
The famed sculler, who the COM
mittee acclaimed as a natural, un-

against Roosevelt, grasping . 4-3

the Rough Riders ahead to stay,

It was West who captured scoring
honors with 10 points, but it was
Hymie Perlo, steady guard, who
stamped himself As the backbone OF
the Roosevelt team. Perlo's crisp,
accurate passing and polished floor
play provided the games outstand-

Harry Martin, playing despite q
damaged elbow, was the only Cen

Feeling Another Big
Year Ahead, Bonura
5purns Pay Cut
BY the Associated Press.

oy luC A1SOSlAISo 11CoSs
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-Zeke
(Ben-Hur) Bonura, wearing a circle
OF rhinestones on his head and
brandishing a baseball bat, vowed
today he felt a good season coming
up and wouldn't sign a contract Of
fered him by the New York Giants.
Zeke wouldn't say so, but it was
rumored the Giants wanted their
slugging first baseman to take cut
Of 331s per cent from his reported
1889 pay of SIS, 900.
The rhinestones and bat were a
portrayal of Zeke's dual personality.
The circle was the crown he wore
the other night when he took the
part Of Ben-Hur and reigned as
king Of = gittering New Orleans
carnival ball.
He did not have, however. the
lovely velvet robe, the silver kid
boots or the chariot and four rub
ber-shoed horses with which he
rode around the ballroom.
The bat, needless to say, was just
like the club he welded so we'll last
year for the National League base
ball club.
It was . new bat, a pretty thing
of two-toned wood, fresh from the
factory. It had "a lot of hits in it, %
said Zeke, and he added signifi-
cantly that If the Giants did not
want those hits there were others
who did.
The crown-and- act was Just
a gag for the benefit of a news
paper photographer, but Zeke ap-
peared deadly serious when he got
on the subject Of the Giants offer.
II like to play ball for Bill Terry"
he declared, "but I have to stand up
for my rights.
II had q good year last year. I'm
in fine condition. I take care Of
myself, and I'm going to have an
other good season."

President, United States Lawn Tennis
Association.

Association.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (P.-Though
there is little likelihood of any in.
ternational tennis competition in tho
coming year, 1910 does offer oppor-
tunities for an even more exten.
sive campaign by the U. S. L. T. A.,
aimed at development OF the game
throughout the Nation.
Despite the loss of the Davis Cup
through the well-deserved victory
OF the powerful and aggressive Aus
tralian challengers, tennis In the
United States in 1899 presented q
most encouraging picture. Our
championship record shows that
every important titular event, with
the exception Of the mems doubles
championship, was won by United
States players.
Capture Most Of Titles.
In addition, our players swept to
victory in all five championships
at Wimbledon, captured three out of
i've of the French championships,
a majority of the Canadian cham
pionShips and in addition scored
our ninth consecutive victory in the
women's international Wightman
Cup matches.
BY concentrating even more on
the game at home in 1910 our asso-
citation will seek to bring about more
participation in tennis, better study
and ground work in the fundamen-
tails of stroke and play, stricter ad-
herence to and observation Of the
amateur regulations which safeguard
the game and higher appreciation
and observation of the sportsman
ship which has throughout the
games history made tennis and
sportsmanship synonymous.
The fine competitive record Of
1899, while firmly fixing the high
standard of play in our country.
merely is a standard by which to
measure the progress of the future.
On every side there is evidence Of
the constant growth of interest in
tennis. The U. S. L. T. A. club
membership is at an all-time peak
Reports from schools, colleges and
public parks demonstrate the ever
increasing popularity Of the game
and number OF players participating.
Youngsters Are Developing.
This is the objective for which
our association has been striving.
Through our junior development,
Junior Davis Cup, Junior Wightman
Cup and preparatory squads, the
constructive missionary work has
reached into thousands of scho-
lastic and civic centers and is pro-
ducing results.
Outstanding examples are found
in the cases of three 1888 junior
players-David G. Freeman, S. We'll
by Van Horn and Jack Kramer. In
the national Junior rankings they
were first, second and sixth, re-
Spectively, a year ago.
The 1899 mems senior rankings
find all three among the % leading
senior players in the United States,
with Van Horn ranked No. 4. Ad-
ditional honors went to this young
Californian as finalist and runner
up to Robert L. Riggs in the mems
national singles championship and
to Kramer as a doubles player on
the United States Davis Cup team.

And, as a matter of fact, nearly everyone of these fallacies was written into the laws of this country. Fortunately, not all of them were put into effect, but some of those that were made effective-such as devaluation of our gold dollar and the silver pur- chase programs = have given this nation, and others, sufficient head aches to last long time.
 It was argued in 1933-1934 that we did not have enough gold so we devalued our dollar. Now the howl is that we have too much, and ''the gold problem" is now given to us as a daily diet.

CHAPTER III

The sight of Jean Reynolds cal parked before his shop brought Johnny back to reality with Q lurch. In his hunt for Molly Travers he had forgotten all about the letter he meant to write to Jean, telling her their love affair was finished.
 His first impulse was to run back toward the Blue Whale. But he knew that eventually there must be some explanation. Now with the memory of Molly still so vital and fresh = was the time. Then Jean could return to Boston.
 Jean was sitting at his desk, composing . letter home on his typewriter. Her green felt hat with its perky feather was tossed on . chair. Her brown hair was rumpled. Her slender, brown fln- gers hesitatingly picked at the keys.
 When she turned and faced him, he realized again how pretty she was. Her brown eyes clear with honesty, and her mouth soft with love and understanding. Her clothes were simple. The cameo at the throat of her white blouse was like jewel in a satin box.
 "H ya," she said in the exact tone she used when her cocker, Barky, returned from his airing. "You've certainly turned out trusting soul in your old age. The door was wide open. sold two of your silly snoods."
 Thanks" he answered mechan- ically.
 Jean was standing before him, her arms around his neck, waiting for "a kiss. Johnny took her face between his two hands, looked down into the depths of her trust- ing eyes and despised himself.
 He kissed her, but she drew back from him as if she sensed the difference in that kiss.
 Johnny, what's happened?" she asked in a small, frightened voice.
 Johnny sat down on the sea chest. He kept his eyes on the floor while he answered.
 "Jean, I came down here to think 1t all over"
 Jean sat down beside him. She put her arm around his shoulder. The arm cornforted him and gave him courage. "Think what over? Don't tell me the doctors have given you six months to hvel"
 She tried to laugh. but the effort ended in a choked sob. Johnny dared not look at her.
