T USED to be “Join the Navy and see the world.” Now it is “Play tennis and see the world.” Getting to Paris, I arrived just in time to learn.that our Mr. William Tilden, 2d, was beaten in the indoor championship matches by M. Jean Borotra, who is known as the Bounding Basque, probably because he does not do any bounding. I arrived just too late to see Mr. play at the Country Clyb on one of the most expensive clay courts in the world. Playing for the Davis Cup seems to be in the nature of the life of Riley, as the boys say, or perhaps it is a little better than the life of Riley. As I get it, Mr. William Tilden, 2d, is quite likely to bob up again anywhere along the Riviera, and if I do not keep a weather eye out I might yet see him playing tennis some- It just strikes me that Mr. William Tilden, 2d, and the other amateur tennis players have done no little for the advancement and | and there throughout the world.

School last night of amateur sports. I recall writing something about golf and real estate Tyre Jones to become unfriendly: Mr. Tilden seems to be hard to fol- low, as the United States Lawn Tennis Association discovered to its acute mental anguish, although I seemed to be following him literally for a while. The last statement that I recalled as attributed to Mr. Tilden .was that he was going to devote all of his energy to the dramatic art and, at the time, he was leaving to appear in a show in London. After that I heard that Mr. Tilden was appearing in a London night club—they also have night clubs in London. But I did not care to seek him out and ask how the show was going. That is considered a faux pas in the show business unless you keep posted. When you ask how the show is going it might have been - closed a month ago. ‘There did not seem to be any night | club around Monaco but the Casino and the boys and girls there seem to be too occupied watching the little ball roll around and the cards and one thing and another to wish to be annoyed by any entertainers. Even Tex Gujnan herself would not get a tumble in the Casino. If she pulled the line “Hello sucker” in that joint the private dicks or gendarmes would give her the air because everybody would.take it as a very personal remark. Wise-cracking will get you no francs in the Principal- ity of Monaco. When I said that there were no* night clubs in Monaco I might have been wrong. 1 drove up to one place that looked like a night club, but they said it was the palace of the Prince of Monaco, who has.a bigger collection of fish stuffed and au natural than Fred Fletche, the rod and gun man. But the doorman of the palace wore the same kind of uniform that was worn oy the best night club doormen in New York, so I think that he was giving me a stall because he took me for a revenue man or a copper, although rev- enue men or coppers would starve to death along the Riviera. The System Players. ERHAPS I might have reached the country club at Monte Carlo in time to ‘see Mr. Tilden 2d and Miss | Elizabeth Ryan working out, but that| would- have ‘been mno novelty, even| though I will admit that Mr. Tilden al- ways gives a good show on the tennis courts, even if his acts died on him in New York and London because they were over the heads of the audience. | Many a good actor has-flopped for. the same reason and there. is no stigma attached to it. The drama is:a toush racket and from what they.tell me there is no chance that it ever will get any softer. ‘What delayed me was that I was fas- cinated by watching the greatest opti- mists in the world, the system players Carlo, Psychoanalyst once told me that it might do me good to mix around a little with optimists. So I cultivated the acquaintance of Yaphank Benny and some of the boys who have systems for beating the races. But all of the rouleite yers in the public salon at Monte Carlo have their systems and everything is writ- ten down for them in a little book. It is so simple that ome of those mechanical men could play roulette. You scatter some francs on the numbers indicated in the little code book, then you wait uptil the ball stops and the croupier rakes in the chips. I'do not know whether it is com- pulsory to play a system at Monte Carlo, but it must every player, at roulette in the Casino at Monte that I had pessimistic inclinations and | I slipped him the price, but declined the book. Far be it from me to take the last system for butlnzd roulette from an old gentleman need. ‘The Goddess of Chance. [E atmosphere of that public salon in the Casino at Monte Carlo was a bit depressing to me. The whole place seemed to be full of statisticians, and a roulette statisticlan looks quite terri- ble as a base ball statistician, a foot ball statistician or any other kind of statistician, Persons who keep figures in little books always get to look that way. I felt an unholy joy at seeing that very few of these statisticians seemed to get anywhere. Their little books and their figures seemed to detract from any glamour that might be attached to the Goddess of Chance, whose home shrine, as a romantic young man, I always felt was Monte Carlo, where the Alps come down to meet the Mediter- ranean. But now my notions of the God- dess of Chance have changed com- pletely. She no longer will be to me young, sprightly and entrancing. I have developed quite a different picture of that lady of legend. At one of the tables there was a rather blowsy and stout blonde woman, who may have seen better days outside of a pub somewhere. She was addressed by somebody in a deferential way as Signora Contessa. She had her little system book and she was playing roulette mechanically and a little wearily. It was chilly and she wore a bit of Riviera ermine, wHich is made of rabbit skin, around her neck. At the end of a few hours she cashed in and she had proved the efficacy of her system. She had won 400 francs, more or less. She bundled this into her purse and left the Casino. Perhaps I am a pessimist, but somehow the Sig- norina Contessa, the $16 winner, seemed to me to be an incarnation of the God- dess of Chance who now occupies the shrine at Monte Carlo.

BY J. H. ANDERSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. ST. LOUIS, February 15.—Election | of Louls B. Dailey to the presidency of | the United States Lawn Tenn‘« Asso- clation, an action expected late today at the forty-ninth annual meeting, wiil be regarded by the Midwest as a sec- tional recognition even though Dailey is a resident of New York City. Dailey is a native of Kentucky, a for- mer resident of Topeka, Kans., where he competed on Washburn College ath- letic teams, and is regarded as a stanch friend of the area west of the Missis- sippi, which in the past few years has produced many of the Nation's leading players. With the election of Dailey, it is ex- pected district associations will be given more voice in the control of the national assoclation with mail votes on importart subjects which will allow officers and executive committee members who live far from the association’s headquarters in New York an opportunity to express their views fully. As an indication of more co-operation between section groups, district secretaries met late last night to exchange views, the first time such a meeting has been held. The annual meeting today also was expected to vote in favor of open ten- nis tournaments in which amateurs compete with professionals as in open golf competition. Awarding of the larger tournaments, selection of a 1931 meeting place, prob- ably New York, and announcement of rankings were other matters to come before the meeting before the delegates gather tonight for the annual banquet and the first radio broadcast of speeches over KMOX from 8:30 to p.m., Cen~ tral standard time. In exhibition matches for entertain- ment of the delegates, Francis T. Hunter, ranked No. 2 in the national Ust, defeated George M. Lott, jr., mem- ber of the 1929 Davis Cup team, 6—3 and 6—4.
