Supreme Reign of | U. S. in Tennis Due to Youth of Stars ir • ■■■' -... Came Forbidden in England's Colleges—McLoughlin but 28 Years Old. Uj VINCENT RICHARDS ew York, Nov. 27. —What Is the age to stop tennis? Unfortu n a t e 1 y there is a tend ency in America to look upon a man of 30 as being a veteran. How often do wo hear of some junior fop saking the court game for the less strenuous pastime of golf. Tf a play er has been In competition for seven nr eight years he i.^ classed as a veteran whether he really is or not in point of age. This attitude is in direct variance to the conditions that exist in European countries. In England, France and Scotland there are many men beyond the 50 year mark playing tennis. That is why the United States reigns su preme in the tennis world. Those countries produce fine players from the hack of the court but they are T.ot able to cope with the hard-hitting youths entered tn our big eastern Tournaments. A condition that exists in Great Britain that practically elim inates the United Kingdom from ser ious consideration in the Davis cup competition. IJton, the largest pre oratory school in the British isles, absolutely forbids the students from indulging in tennis. Naturally the other schools, such as Harroy and West End, follow in the footsteps of the larger institution. Team Spirit Eliminated Apparently the reason for not allow ing the students to play tennis is simply that it tends to eliminate team spirit such as Is found in the cricket aggregations. The result is that the boys do not get a chance to learn the fundamentals of the game until they «nter one of the universities, such aa Oxford. If they possess ability ther« is little chance of their being able to Rhow it until they finish their college education. By that time they are at an age when many of the American stars are classed aa veterans. MeEoughlin Young Man. Many tennis fans throughout the United States believe that Maurice E. McLiOughlin, the sensational comet, is past 40. He is remembered in the dim past as the man who flashed across the tennis horizon and then faded into a memory. Red Mac is not more than 28. He is two years younger than either Tilden or John ston. However, he startled the tennis world in a skyrocket fashion and then passed out of the picture so quickly that tennis fans eouid not be blamed for misjudging his age. A. E. Crawley, the great English writer, claims that the time to stop tennis is when one dies. He points out that age Is largely a matter of habits, and the man who is continual ^gfiy renewing his youth and enthusiasm in a sport such as tennis is adding years to his life and at the same time making that life a fuller one.

"I am only 19 and can’t have the lump sum until I am 21. I leave my In terest on the money In the keeping of my guardian, an attorney of Bos ton. I own my home in Boston, where I-have always lived. I suppose New Knglnnd thrift is helping ino save my money.” Miss Burroughs, who Is an orphan, has three little sisters in a convent near Boston. “I want them to have a good edu cation and hope they w^n’t have to struggle for a living. I feel that this money should be as much theirs as mine, although grandfather has pro vided for them. He worked hard for it. and I am not going to throw it away.” Miss Burroughs went upon the stage when she was 14 and worked her way up from the ranks of the chorus. At last!

Still. I nun atone, In some extent, so if he Is not too angry with me, I shall marrv him!" Cl IA FT Kit VI r. V Proposal and an Acceptance. Bombs can hurst in a man a brain ts well as in the outer air, and Pel ham straightway experienced some singularly disagreeable phenomenon. He Was of the order which prides It self on a rigid stoicism In moments of listress or danger and on making a lightning-like decision to act for the best. There cannot be any doubt that had a machine-gun opened fire from across the Round pond, or some snarl ing beast of prey sprung from the -illrubbery at l he side of ihe path which he and Phyllis were traversing, lie would have striven to shield the girl even at the expense of his own lfe. But In this crisis he was strick en so hard as to become both dumb ind mentally Impotent, lie did no', try to find words. He merely walked on In silence, as though his compan ion had submitted some problem which required careful thought before lie attempted Its solution. Probably he was wiser than he knew, because Phyllis, awaiting the "omment which came not, was obvi ously disconcerted. "What else*can I do?" she pleaded, with a new tension In her voice. "You men talk about playing Ihe game, yet women are surely as capable of being honourable and fair-minded. Wo are cats really, especially to one an other. but I should hate myself all my life if I failed Sir Arthur In his hour of trouble, and kept up the had behaviour of which I was unquestion ably guilty yesterday. i i euiniu i cuuuiieu niuic, ounii* nateiy so. It appeared to the girl, for she stood still, and stamped a foot on the ground, rather like an 111 tem pered rhlld. "Have you nothing to say?" she quavered. "That detective man. your friend Mr. Prideaux, would have tried to argue with me, at least." "Prideaux talks through his hat,” said Pelham suddenly. "Not two hours ago ho was suggesting that you ami I should wed, and grow apples during the rest of our lives " Phyllis flushed a vivid scarlet, but the colour fled from her cheeks as rgpidly as it had arisen. "That, of course, Is absurd," she cried, walking on again. "Not so absurd as your notion of marrying out of sympathy. That Is not "playing the game," as you put It. You are heading straight for disaster” "Evidently Mr. Prideaux's advice did not appeal to your better Judg ment, since you have Just told me you meant becoming a policeman.” Pelham, like every other man. had to learn how disconcerting a woman's contempt of logic can be in "the su preme moments of life Here was a girl who had Just announced an un alterable decision to marry another man twitting him W’ith b heedless word which made out. that he regard ed as quite foolish any prospect of the alternative being put forward by the detective. But he was recovering hl!< wits. “All right," he said quietly. "We can soon settle that point. Will you marry me?" Phyllis giggled in a throaty fashion which might have spurred on a man better versed In the vagaries of the feminine temperament than this young veteran of many wars, since her forced mirth hold more than a hint of a sob in It, "When a woman laughs." says a French cynic, "let man beware; when she weeps, he can dare all!” And now the girl's face did not red den; It paled. She bit her lower lip. Pelham could not see the sudden clenching of her hands. "Bet us not lie Idiotic," she con trived to say. "I have so looked for ward to meeting you. I counted on your help." "Of course. T know it is crazy, and the rest of It." he muttered “hut I don’t see why a fellow shouldn't ask a girl to marry him after an ac quaintance of a few hours. I have never before thought of marriage. I don't suppose I shall do so again for many years—if ever. But you and I were brought together in such an extraordinary way that if you were willing to take the risk of success or failure in married life without the pi elllnimi i y CuUlihll.p—Which *.«in to offer no royal load to h ippines* when Judged 6y average reaults—I could assure you with all honesty that I fell In love with you, 1 wanted you. I desired you, from the first mo ment we met yesterday. There is nothing underhanded or mean In tell ing you that. It is perfectly clear that you do not love Sir Arthur Pel ham, and you yourself have said once already you would not marry him. Kven now, I won't take your decision as final And. by Hie way. have you decided?” Pelham was so thoroughly in ear nest that he was blind to the ridic ulous side of this amazing proposal He caught her arm. i nd compelled her to lift her eyes to his. She was weep ing. "I little dreamed you would he so unkind.” she sobbed. The blaze of passion lighted in hi* soul by the torch of an impossible romance died into ashes at the sight of her distress. So little did he know of a woman's ways, he attributed her suffering to Ills own stupidity In Im agining for one second that she might listen to so crude and almost violent an avowal of) his longing. "I'm sorry." he said humbly. "I meant no offence, at any rate. If you can find It In your heart to for give me, I'll not err again in that way.” They must have walked on a good fifty yards before Phyllis dared trust her tongue. At last, with a mighty ef fort which her headlong suitor cer tainly did not appreciate then, nor for many a day afterwards, she smiled, and spoke lightly, almost flippantly, “I think there must he madness in the air.” she said. “That little detec tive man seems to scatter its microbes —if madness can be Induced by mi crobes—wherever he goes. But please let us have no more spasms In the park. I really am hungry.” No other four words in th^Engllsh language could have stuttered Pel ham's momentary Illusions so quickly as those. And Phyllis knew It. That was the cruellest part of her task. She could not look at him. but seemed to t.e so overwhelmed with bit ter annoyance that the man deemed himself the most clumsy fool permit ted to draw breath in London that day. i count very muon ir we snau una anything very appetizing here." he said "Oh, all T waht is a cup of tea and a'boiled egg ” Has love's young dream ever before been swept into nothingness by men tion of a boiled egg? From that In stant two quite active human vol canoes were coated with ice. or some frigid outer covering which they re garded us ice for the time being. So they hid tea. and bread and butter, and eggs, and were tempted by some excellent strawberries and cream, and. when they had found two scats under a tree, their thoughts reverted decor ously to the tragic events of the last few hours. Of course, each had much to tell the other, but there was nothing new, since Phyllis was no better posted in the results of Pridenux » search of Cedar Lodge than was Pelham in the discoveries the detective might have made in the room where Carre died." So the talk swung Inevitably to Sir Arthur Pelham's Journey North, and the probable motive thereof Phyl lis s story cleared up one paint com pletely—the baronet took naAne into his confidence, and had pl^pted hi* departure the night before. "He did not come home till late,' she said "In fact, he returned from his cluli. or wherever he was. while Peters and you were at Mortlake po lice station. He let himself in, asked no questions as to why the gate was left unguarded—though the butler could not have explained matters then—went straight'to his own room and packed, because his valet found two portmanteaux ready next morn ing Slmmonds. that is the valet'* name, began to tell him about the affair In front of the lodge but was Informed curtly that Sir Arthur did not wish to bp bothered with any per sonal matters at all. as he was going to the West of England on business. And. oddly enough, 1 kept quiet dur ing breakfast, because your name had cropped up In Peter's version of the struggle, and I knew already that the two branches of the family were at variance " "Exactly." Pelham could not help commenting. "You had a perfect ex planation of your own attitude in the matter." But Phyllis was not to be lured In to any bypath of danger. She did not flinch from the topic, hut simply ig nored it so pointedly that her would be advocate was crushed " 1 remember now,” she said calm ly. “that Lady Pelham was not *o up set by her son's hurried departure as might have been expected They Special Holiday Attraction jj TODAY The Most Sensational Picture of the Year ‘HIS CHILDREN’S CHILDREN’ From the Daring Novel That Startled the World Featuring Bebe Daniels — Dorothy Mackail Hale Hamilton—George Fawcett—Mary Eaton Naughty, naughty New York, with its pleasure seeking jn** crated, sensation seeking sons and daughters in all their shock ing recklessness.

Ibty use the most unlikely agents, too. I have actually promised Mr. Somers that 1 would meet Sir Arthur at King's Cross this evening, and toll him what has been happening here." Phyllis was unfeignedly astonished. "You?" she cried. "Yes. T. Hie outcast cousin. By the way, something you said a moment ago may bo illuminating In what way did you become aware that I or any of my people even existed?” "Quite casually. I asked Kir Arthur one day if ho had any relatives, and he spoke of vou-y-said you were In India, he believed—and making a name for yourself, hut that unfortun ately his father and yours had quar reled about ills mother, and con sequently it was not reasonable that he should he expected to try and heal the breach." Pelham took thought at that. The statement 'was not wholly unfavor able to its author True, it was dis tinctly one sided, but not more than might be looked for in a devoted son. "I suppose." he said at last, "that Lady Pelham and my cousin were greatly attached to each other?" "I—think—not." was Phyllis's un certain reply. "Of course, it is not for pie to judge, bu*. when my mother was'alive. 1 didn’t keep her at arm s length. But men. of course, are dif ferent. Kir Arthur is studiously cold and leserved—to everybody—without exception." Then waf no special reason why she should flush slightly then, but Pelham, becoming wary, let no hint escape that hope was reborn within him forthwith. Was not this delight ful girl telling him In plain language that her prospective husband had never made lova to her? And why did she allude to him habitually by his title!1 She was not discussing him with a stranger, but with one of his kith and kin. k This was a topic Pelham could hardly pursue, so he led the girl to speak of her own folk, and she, in turn, sought details of his career, and particularly of the mother whose memory he held so dear. Here they found a com mon bond. The time flew. When Phyllis glanced at her watch it was nearly 2 o’clock. They had to hurry to the gate and the waiting car. They parted quite formally. To all appearance. If not to their Well concealed wish, they might never meet again, unless it were in the de pressing atmosphere of a coroner’s court. Pelham strolled through Knights bridge and Piccadilly to his club. It was an afternoon of high summer, and the streets were radiant with pretty women and decorative shop windows. This was his first leisurely inspection of London, and he could not measure the swirling currents of the country's new life if society were judged by its display of wealth | Bebe Daniels’ $ XMAS GREETING ? $ ;* y to her friends and admirers is on ^ one of the ten “GENNETT” Xmu •,’j Greeting Records.
