From now on they'll make the Harvard boys develop a muscle instead of an accent. Every- body's got to have an athletic heart. Compulsory athletics—with the ac- cent on the pulse, All this will be a hardship on Llewellyn, He always developed muscle calling Janes up on the phone. It's great exercise dropping nickels in the slot. Also improves the wind. Liewellyn’s got a cauliflower ear from stm- ply answering phone calls. Llewellyn thinks phone bells have got it on dumbbells for giving him exercise, Only trouble is, he's a left-hand conversationalist, Holds the receiver to the left ear, which is tho only one he can hear in. His brain {s @ one-way thoroughfare and his right ear’s the regular exit. Everything goes through on schedule. But even left-hand gabbing is exetcise for Llew. Any old day he can aimost chin himself to death. Drops a quarter in the slot and provides the gas himself. The exercise has done him good too, Has made his shoulders square and his head the same shape.

At Session Handicapping and Foot Faults Matters Under Discussion. | Scoring, By William Abbott. spilled at the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association to-night at the Waldorf before it is definitely| settled whether the court game is to be partially made over, The Rules Committee and a following of pro- gressives want new laws for. scoring, handicapping and foot faults. The jchief argument agninst the present |method of scoring is the use of |“love” and “deuce” terms which | have brought considerable ridicule jon_the strenuous sport. | The rival forces aré opposed to any changes in the rules code at this time. George Adee, President of the National Aassociation, and Robert Wrenn, former association leadet don't see the need for any tinkering with the rules and they have thany supporters. Consequently the debate is apt to get real good when the new rules are served up for discussion this eveni: The Rules Committee, upon which has been wished the job of framing |new rules for scoring, handicapping and foot faults, makes in a lengthy |report the following remark: | “Now as to the scoring and handi- joapping: Suggestions have followed the publication of the committee's report and it is very grateful for the jadvice thus received, which indicates | not only a-keen interest on the part of thousands of players throughout the country, but also a desire to develop a sensible, workable plan for | the conduct of handicapping tourna- | ments. These many suggestions have been welcomed for they streng- | thened the committee's opinion as to | the need for a change from the pres- |ont cumbersome method of handicay ping that has left these events in | the discard for thirty years |“When the committee first unde took to lay out a scoring and hanilt-| ltories to their string of consecutive when they defeated Lady of Sor-| Towa fve and the Lawrence-Cedurhurst Fire Department.

Majority opinion of the com~- mittee favored the one first proposed. The discussions which followed its an- nouncement have led the committee to believe that its alternative plan is the better, for this does not permit of the objections that have properly been lodged against the plan first pro- . Accordingly the committee will recommend to the Executive Committee of the National Associa- tion on Friday morning, an amend- ment to its report offering its alter- native system and ag@vising that this be made operative in 1920 for the con- duct of handicap events. Thus the tennis players of the United States will have a chance to try the plan, and it is belleved that they will agree with the Metropolitan League and other players who have used the method and found it thoroughly sat- isfactory. Briefly the new method is this: “The system is based on a study of the scores of many matches, show~ ing that six points is a fair equivalent of a game, and thirty of a set. If A is playing at scratch and B receives @ handicap of three pojnts, B has to win twenly-seven points while A wins thirty. If A begins service and wins the first point, the score is called 1— in. If B wins the first point, it fs called 1—out. If each wins a point the score is 1—all. If A wins two pointe and B wins one, the score ts 2—1, and 80 on, in a straight numerical series up to the totals of thirty and twenty- seven points respectively, for A “Service changes with the winning of every sixth point, at 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on, thus keeping the idea of a change ‘in sérvice at the end of games. Courts are changed at the sixth, eighteenth, thirticth points, and #0 on, thus ‘conforming to the practice of changing courts at the end of the first, third and fifth games. "Phe advantages of the syst obvious simplicity, the fact that the total score {s always known so that the state of the match is ne doubt, no written records of any sort are required because each point is added when won so that each player knows exactly how he stands and, further, the score always is a check on service, because when even it will be into the right hand court. The set cannot end in a Ue and the win- her of the final point is the winner of the set. “A somewhat similar been tried im various parts of the country and has been approved by the Metropolitan League. The com- mittee will recommend that this be offered as a method to be used, in #1- dition to the present plan of hand: caps, so that lournament officials will have an opportunity to choose -which system they prefer, After such a trial it is reasonable to anticipate a cordial endorsement on the part of tennis players of the United States, who for years have wanted a simple workable system for handicap events.” Here you have one side of the con- troversy. The other contingent, head- ed by Adee and Wrenn, who have done yeoman work to develop tennis, sug- gests that any experimenting in the rules be put off for a while until all tennis-playing countries can get to- gether formulate « uniform set of vuley Which Would eliminate uncer- tainty in international matches. A compromise may be reached that would allow the new rules to be tried out in limited period of time, but whatever is the final outce of the present agitation, to-night’s meeting is sure to be one of the most impor- tant in the history of the tennis asso- ciation, scheme has Mixing Things Some chefs are so clever at mixing things that they can “mol you. When you are rough eating you don’t know whether you've had a square meal or a raw deal. Just the same with stores that mix extravagant claims with poor goods. You don’t know whether you're buying quality at low prices or shoddy at high prices. That’s why Par-amount Shops have stuck to standard goods at standard prices. No guess work!
