Urawford Has | sreat Record in Net Game Bay Window’ Fails to Slow

Australian; Babe Ruth Another Example.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 3—When Mr. ck Crawford of Australia defeated r Mr, Wilmer Allison in a vital vis cup match the other afternm on the grass courts of Gerntown he scored something more nl & mere tennis triumph. As you may have heard Mr.

oa,

son the notion exists that gentlemen with large, jiggly stomachs

have no business|

in athletics. They don’t look like athletes and _because they don't their right to perform in public is © questioned. _ The theory that a suety middle and high athletic skill do not go together probably dates back to the Spartan code, or at least to the i» gommon belief that champions are ‘molded out of self-denial and phy-

_.8lcal drudgery. Supposedly this is

i the price the champion must pay ‘for his place on Mount Olympus. To the lean and hungry apostles

of sport, the billowy girth bespeaks |-

easy living, indulgence and a frivolous regard for training, and to ‘them none of these things is consistent with the sterner purposes "and the loftier ideals of the body beautiful. So when Mr. Crawford sucked in us tum-tum to get room enough to swing his racquet around with‘out risking self-imposed injury, and . went on to blast our No. 1 ranking tennis player right off the court, he struck a tremendous blow for soclety. "Against an obbligato of deep, searching drives from the base line, Mr. Crawford demonstrated it was possible for a man to live a reasonably comfortable life in the matter of social pleasures and still be & great champion, that there is a compromise zone where it is possible for both sharp discipline and

buoyant spirits to dwell on Beighs

_borly terms. » ” 8

F the physical culturists are correct, it should be no great trick

for a man to abstain and labor “himself into championship timber.

that is needed is a willingness submit to dull, trying satrifices.

It seems to me, then, that when a

gentleman like Mr. Crawcomes along and takes a cham-

plonship in a casual, informal man-

mer, he has done the exceptional nd is entitled to high commenda-

BY HARRISON MILLER Pinch Hitting for Paul Boxell HE inaugural event of the round of tournaments to be staged on the lawns and leas around these parts is the District links derby to be held on three local courses starting Monday. Among other things, the threeday marathon should! indicate who holds the power for the city public links tourney later which decides the Indianapolis representatives at the national public links meet. Incidently, there are six free round-trip titkets to Farmingdale, N. Y,, for the latter eliminations. » # 28 ONTENDERS in the District will blast their way over 18 holes at the Country Club course Monday, resume the medal play competition at Speedway the following day, and make their last bid at Meridian Hills on Wednesday. Gross and net prizes are to be awarded for the b54-hole leaders, and, for .those in-and-outers who produce “flash-in-the-pan” performances on any one day, .there will be prizes for each 18-hole session.

2 s ” ILL REED JR., who “retir during the winter months, will defend his championship next week. The youthful law student who was “through with the crazy game” acquired enough persuasive oratory to talk himself into taking up his clubs. The game always lures them back from the nineteenth hole. ” # ” IGHT there with Reed when the early entries were filed was Phil Talbot of Bloomington. And natural enough, because they were side by side when the championship was decided last year, and the local star won in the playoff. It was the second time in three years that Talbot | lost a playoff.

Es an abundance of power packed in the foursome in which Talbot will play. In case names mean anything, there is Bill Russell, city public links champ; Mike Pollack, former Indianapolis public links team member, and young Bud Pettigrew, state amateur champion from Pendleton. ” ” o

LIFF WAGONER, secretary of the District association, says the shinny players are going to have to get to the tees early this year. He is expecting 200 to compete, with entries pouring in from e, Bloomington and other towns. : : = 2 » TOP the press!

“You certainly don’t look it Natalie replied, opening the door of her room. When they met in the foyer later Natalie said, “I know a jolly little place just off Madison-av where they serve delicious meals. The cooking is Swedish. Do you think you'd ltke that?” “I'm sure I would.” ‘A short walk brought them to their destination, and once again Gail felt as though she had been transported to some other land.

The waitresses were dressed in

peasant costume, and the decorations were typically Scandinavian. “How clean everything looks!” Gail exclaimed as they seated themselves at a table for two. “Qh, Signe’s a perfect martinet.

-She’s the owner of the tearoom-—

used to be a cook on Park-av, working for some wealthy family. When

* | the old man died he left her enough

to set her up in business for herself. She had always said that was what she wanted most.” : # ® » OW interesting! Is there any chance of seeing her?” “Yes. She is in and out all evening. There she is now!” Gail’s eyes followed the direction Natalie indicated. “What a handsome woman!” she cried, noting the tearoom proprietor’s graceful carriage, masses of blond hair and big blue eyes. “They serve awfully good food here. Shall we order?” After they had consulted the menu and given the waiter their order their talk drifted to Cally visit at

* | the Searles’ home.

“You went to school with young Searles’ sister, didn’t you?” Natalie asked. : “Yes. Rosemary was my roomsmate at school. Dick says she’s coming home soon. I'm sure you'd like her. Maybe we can have lunch together some day.” “I'd love that. I suppose lots of wealthy girls go to Merrywood Hall.” Natalie, eagerly studying news of society events, had frequently noticed that many of the most popular brides were graduates of Miss Cranston’s exclusive school. “Yes. I wouldn’t have been able to stay after Dad died if it hadn't been that Miss Cranston was an old friend of my mother’s and she insisted on keeping me there. I'm so glad I won the Larne prize because I'm naturally an independent person. ” “Im sure no one would ever grudge doing anything for you. I know I wouldn't. “That’s sweet of you to say so,” answered Gail, wondering if her estimate of Natalie had not been harsh. Perhaps it was kindly interest and not just inquisitiveness that prompted the other girl to ask so many questions.

8 8 a OU must have felt dreadfully when you found you were penniless,” Natalie’ went on. “Still I should have thought if your father had any paintings they would have brought a good deal.” “No, they didn’t. At the time my father died, lots of galleries were closed. A friend of Miss Cranston’s told her that pictures which would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars in normal times were being given away by artists for just enough to pay for a meal.” “Really?” “Yes. I know lots about art and artists.” Gail smiled as she remembered her gay, improvident father. The sale of a picture was always an occasion for a celebration —perhaps a grand dimer with a theater party afterward, or in the summer a long week-end at some seaside resort. Peter Everett gave little thought to the future! The waitress served them. Then, as she hastened away to attend to other customers, Natalie remarked, “I've been thinking a lot about you since we met. How strange it must seem for you to be all alone. I've such heaps of relatives. They make me tired. I wish some of them had never been born!” “Natalie! What a dreadful thing to say! You don’t know how I envy you. If I had even one living relative I'd be, oh, so happy!”

" = # OR an hour the girls dawdled

over their food, comparing their likes and dislikes. As they rose,

not only she, but those girls whose remarks she had overheard, had misjudged Natalie. Gail could not know that there was method in Natalie's generosity! As they approached the movie theater, Natalie suddenly exclaimed, “There’s some one you should know —Rita Cordell. She's fashion edi tor of one of the newspapers. H after her, Natalie called,

+ “Oh, hello, Natalie!” “I want you to meet the winner of the John S. Larne prize—Gail Everett. She's Madame Lizette's new designer.” “Oh, I'm delighted. If was only a few days ago that I asked Mr. Larne about the prize winner. He said. he understood a society girl had won it and probably she wouldn't do anyhing further with

.| “Rita!”

her art.”

‘I'm a working girl,” Gail ane swered. “I called at Mr. Larmne’s of fice but he was in the South, so I just went ahead and got this job. It sounded very simple. Gail wond= ered whether she should have men< tioned Derek Hargreaves’ part in it, for now she realized if he had not come to her aid, she might still be wandering about New York looking for work. . “I'm due at Lizette’s some day soon. Maybe she’ll let me have one of your designs for my column. I'm ever so pleased to have met you, Be seeing you soon.”

® 8 =

AS Rita Cordell hurried away Natalie said, “I'm awfully glad we met her. She can do heaps for you. And you know if you want to get ahead you've got to cash in on all the publicity you can get. Grab it every time. Take that from some one who knows.” “I guess you're right,” Gail ane swered, remembering something Derek had said. Then, in a burst of confidence, she added, “I'm only a babe when it comes to the busi« ness end of things. You see, Pye nevef had any business ence, though, of course, I didn’t stress that too emphatically to Madame.” She laughed. “That's right. Most business is done on bluff nowadays—only the bluffers are usually shrewd enough to make good when they get the chance. But there—you were going to tell me about the Searles’ home. You see I'm quite keen on houses. In fact, I've seriously thought of taking up interior dece oration.” “Well, you'd love’ ‘Heart’s Delight! if you're interested in real homes. Even before you step inside, it seems to lay a spell on you.” Gail de= scribed the plan of the house, its decoration and setting. . Natalie listened eagerly. Then she said, “See here, Gail, if you ever get the chance of an option on young Searles, be sure and cinch it. Pleces like that and a nice young man' thrown in are not handed out every day.” ®» 2 = ER keen eyes saw the color dye Gail's fair cheeks,” She smiled. “Maybe I'm giving this advice too late. Maybe I'm talking to young Searles’ fiancee right now!” “Dick’s nothing to me except & very good friend, like the rest of the family. What a ridiculous conclusion tasfjump to!” Gail exclaimed as they entered the movie theater.
