FARRELL ited Press Sports Editor) iW YORK, Feb. 7,—(United Press}—Elevation of young Vinnie Richards to second place on the na tional tennis ranking* Mst did not come as 4 great surprise, although the wisdom of the choice may be disputeed by friends of Bill John- ston, who gave way to the advance of the former Fordham star. Richards was the outstanding star of the year in international tennis and he played consistently in a form that indicated he is to be Bill Til- den's most formidable rival for the national championship. After a rathér ordinary season int , when he gave evidence that he wasn’t taking the game very seriously, Vinnie came back last year with a greatly improved game and a determined attitude, The youngster is one of the very few players who believe they, have 4 chance {n a match with Tilden and he really believes that he to “do it" some time. There are many reasons to believe that Tilden {s going to retire. Per haps he will not give up the game this year, but his friends believe that he has so many ways in which to use his time for a more lucrative occupation than tennis that he can- not afford to make the sacrifice the game. Glory, such -as Tilden has been winning on international courts for five years, eventually loses its nov. elty for star athletes and they be gin to get sour on fame. The re- ward of glory is one of the few compensations for an amateur ath- lete, although Tilden has been mak ing a comfortable living out of his Iterary work : If Tilden does retire, Richards would be elevated to first place au tomatically. He might not be able to convince foreign nations that he entitled to succeed Tilden as the rnational champton, but his po- on would be safe in national ten rc Johnston's gamo is one of the in the world.

His inferiority in most of his matches against Tilden was pure- ly physical, as he didn't have the strength or endurance to stand up under the terrific pace that the champton can force. Johnston passed up preliminary competitions last year for the pur- pose of saving himself for the na- tional championships and the Davis Cup matches. He hoped that if he worked himself along: gradually that he would be in better physical condition. He looked heavier and seemed to bo playing so much bet- ter than many experts figured that he would beat Tilden for th» title. But in the final round, Tilden gave him one of the worst beatings he had ever received. Johnston, although it ts not cer tain that he fs through, may never be any better than he was in his last match with Tilden.

He ts going to pass up Euro- pean competition and the early sea- son tournaments to devote his time to serious practice for a drive at the title. ‘ The decline of Johnston and the danger of losing Tilden by retire- ment will bring about closer compe- tition for the Davis Cup.

Shall We. Close the Casper Churches? DO WE NEED THE. CHURCHES OF CASPER? Here are the candid opinions of two of our representative citizens, both of whom believe in the Christianity of Christ: “I do not think our city, or any other community, can get along without churches and without ministers in charge of them. That the world would be a very desolate place without religion is a foregone conclusion. That without churches we would have a state of chaos im- possible to describe is also certain.” “If the churches as we know them were Christian institutions I would say, by all means let us keep them open, but as they are not Christian institutions, but merely adjuncts to the politi- cal state, teaching God in terms of Nationalism, I really believe that Casper, and the nation as a whole, would be better off were the churches to suspend business altogether. The churches are cowardly, lazy and inefficient. They appeal only to the selfishness and cupidity of the indi- vidual. They have no faith in themselves.” Which of These Opinions Is Right? Casper is already the largest city in Wyoming. In four years (1920-1924) its population increased 180 per cent. Its payrolls, business and industries expanded enormously, until it was publicly stated that “Casper is the second city of the world in the amount of business per capita.” Things may be slack just no but the resources of the district guarantee a still greater advance in the future. What will be the eharacter of that progress? Will commercial, industria] and financial prosperity be accompanied by in- tellectual, moral and spiritual advancement? Shall.we need the church as well as the refinery, the factory, the bank, the store, and the movie show? Or can we do better by closing the ehurches and concentrating on the development of these other institutions? Come and hear this vital question frankly discussed by REV. A. E. COOKE in First Congregational Church (AMERICA THEATER) AT 11 O'CLOCK SUNDAY MORNING The noblest music to be heard in Casper is provided by the churches. The loftiest and most inspiring strains of music—music that does more than delight the ear, muaic that soothes the weary spirit and fires the faint of heart, that opens dull eyes to the vision of things invisible—may be heard every Sunday in our city churches.
