BALTIMORE MAY GET MUNY TENNIS EVENT BALTIMORE, December 17:—The National Municipal Tennis Tourna- ment of 1925 may be awarded to this city, according to an announcement by Walter Taylor, jr, president of the Baltimore Interpark Tennis A sociation.

St. Louts staged the event last sea- son and Detrolt the year Hefore. Nearly every large city in the United States 1s bldding for the tournament, but President Taylor.and his asso- clates fesl much encouraged because of the friendly attitude cvident in the national body. Mayor Jackson has also lent his support to the local netmen in their endeavors to bring the classic to Baltimore. He has communicated with the proper authorities, urging the further consideration of the scene of the event. Club players are also putting forth full efforts in an endeavor to swing the balance in favor of the local courts. John Magee, secretary of the South Atlantic sectlon of the National Lawn Tennis Assoclation, was also chairman of the committee which successfully conducted the Davis cup matches here last Summer, and he has promised to use his influence in behalf of the Interpark Assoclation. -— GOULDING WILL AGAIN SEEK WALKING HONORS VANCOUVER, B.

Clgh Scoring was better than ever, anything, among the experts, \xlu) alone wer ted by the order. Or-] dinary golfers continue to use the ribbed clubs, which are banned only in_champlionship play. The only golfer whose scoring this | vear might lead to a bellef that h geme was adversely affected by the rule was Jock Hutchison of Chicago, whose victory. In the British open three years ago brought about the ban. But Jock's slump was due en- tirely to his putting, which was bad all season, his approaches belng as uncannily sccurate as usual. The main argument in faver of the slotted clubs was that they helped the ordinary golfer to put stop on ths ball, somewhat as the expert does by cutting the pellet with the edge of the iron in making the stroke. It dld help experts to get a quick stop when they failed, as the profession- als say, to “hit the ball,” but that was almost a disadvantage for it re- sulted In two detriments. One was the 1ikelihood that the ball thus given back spin would fall short and the other was that the plaver was likely to get careless in his shots. ,DOUBLE REFEREE PLAN URGED FOR BILLIARDS NEW YORK, December 17.—Ed- ouard Horemans, Belglum balkline billlard champlon, is the, leaders in an effort to have the double referee system, now used “’I Europe, established in this country. Several billlard experts here have given their approval. Under the European plan an offi- cial stands at each end of the table and reports the score from his side, eliminating the constant interference # with spectators whioh arises from the necessity of one man keeping on the move about the board.

The Argentine first faced an in- h Bill Brennan in February, 1923, when a New York club claimed that he had slgned a previous agreement. The application was denied. Following his knockout victory over Brenman, Andrew D, Seott of Nutley; N, k., fildd a suit for $3,467, alleging that Firpo retained him as business manager. Then came charges that the bout had been fixed, but many qualified to judge the merits of the contest rushed to Firpo's aid. Hias Recelpts Attached. Then came Sailor Maxted, who de- clared that his rights to moving pic- ture percentages had been overlooked to the extent of $50,000. Maxted won an attachment on Firpo’s receipts in the bout with Willard. Camé the intercontinent clash, his meeting with Jack Dempsey, the champion, when he went down eight times and the champion twice. As he welghed in, Firpo waa served with & summons, the nature of which was not learned. Andrew D. McCorkin- dale of Long Bpaci gbtained an at- tachment on the proceeds ot the bout, alleging the ‘existenceaf a contract which called for 26 per cent of Fir- po's earnings and demandiag $3,300 for expenses. Then Luls clashed with Federal of- ficials by becoming an Americad citi- zen by courtesy. News of his appli- catlon for a change in natfonality caused a furore in the Argentife and he notified the Unitéd States authori- ties that he had taken the action un- der misapprehension. He was hzld up at Key West, Fla, for interrogation as to_income tax statements, but the New York author- ities defended him, A short time later Mrs. Minnie Bwartzlander of New Yotk was awarded 3500 damages against the Argentine in a suit declaring that he had rulned her furniture by rough treatment. - After a sojourn in the homeland, during which he retired from the ring forever and then announced his return, Firpo was re-admitted to the United States as a “visitér* after having been detained at Ellis Island with other members of his party-and Announce the Openm‘ oi Auto M: Showing Late Model [sad Cars of Standard. man's cuud&u, | 17th and Kalorama Rd. ™ MCQI 1470 “Homy of Honest Valuws” a2 Miss Blanca Lourdes Picart, who said she was a friend of the boxer, but not one of his party.

A Friend’s Comment. One day a friend accompanying Cobb on & ‘twindow shopping” tour remarked to him: “My ambition In life is to have so much money some day that I can walk along thls street and stop in shop after shop. To eay to a clerk, ‘Here, my boy, what is the price of shis bronze?” And the clerk will name the figure. I will say, “Here is Your money. Express it to this ' And I'll say to 'wnother ‘What Is the price of ‘this ple- And of that one and that one,’. pointing out all' the plotures in the gallery that strike.my .eye.- And I will give him a check covering the total cost and tell him to - express them. “And so down the street, stopping wherever the eye arrests- attention, picking these treasures and obtain- ing them, where now I can only look at tiem through a windowpane. That would be a grand .feeling, wouldn't {t?" Cobb thought a moment before he replied: “No, you're Wrong. You are very wrong. You are far richer fow and happler than you would be - with money to buy all those things. Here you are, looking through the win- dowpanes, desiring this and desiring that. You appreciate all these fine things. But you wouldnit appreciate them any longer if you had them. | You wouldn't appreciate them {f you could buy them. Your .gresteat pleasura comes in wanting a_thing. To obtain It removes that pleasure. If you bought all these Shings that you have been admiring, or if you could buy them, vou .wouldn't. be happy over them. They would. have Dbecome commonplace to you. - That is the curse of being In a position where you van bave all you want.” Am Army Analysts. Several years ago W. J. Borlend, former psychological examiner of the United States Army, made a test of Cobb and gave & psycho-analysis of the plaver. “Cobb has genius without the usual neurotic tremd,” read Borland's re port. Further on the Borland’ snalysis | atates: “Cobb never was, is ‘not now, and | never can be an ogotist. True, the ego, or the psychological equivalent for soul, is highly developed, but the soul of Cobb is never eipfessed through the medium of egbtiam. One single trait in his charactér proves bevond the possibility of doubt that egotism can no more be expressed by Cobb than the lllad of Homer by the Wild Man of ‘Borneo. That single trait {s bashtulness. “On the emotfonal ‘bide Cbbb has that indefinable quallty in persenality that:infuses others with faith, confi- dence, enthusiasm and zest: for the task at hand, and it is the ‘auro,’ as| peychologists call it, that would carry Cpbb to the pinnacle of fame as a leader of men in whatever andeavor | he chose to follow. | “Extra effort, the drawjng upon. po- tential or subconscious reserve, is re- sponsible for, outstanding- success in every line of human endeaver..

It was a team that was not Dar- ticularly stronk, and it was con- ducted in a fashion that @id not tend 1o cause much enthusfasm among base ball men when New York hap- Dened to be mentioned. W. H.

H. Nichols, E. Booth, J. J. Shandley, W. J. Boyd and W. H. Craver. James Holdsworth and Fred Treacey we: members for part of the season. The Mutuals, In thie first yvear of National League history, finished sixth. They won, 21 games and lost 35. “Thélr percentage was .375. When it came time for them.to play a re- turn serles {n the West, they declined | to 4o so. The Athletics kept them | company. Both of these clubs con- tended that the citles of New York snd Philadeipbia were more impor- tant to the league than was the leagus to them, and that it was not necessary to go West.
