CHANCE FOR
-'TENNIS GRAFT
.
No Rule fo Restrain From Gcoi
Rierciaiizing Garne.
TERM AMATEUR IS FOZZLIG
Efforts to Define Professional Led to
Wrangling at Recent Meeting of Na
tional Lawn Tennis Association, but
No Decision.
Lawn tennis players who are "wise"
and have a leaning to commercialism
can m;ike the most of their opportuni
ties during the coming season and play
in the tournaments where transporta
tion and free board are offered, wheth
er it be by a club or a hotel. It is
likely to be the last year for this sort
of petty graft. Under the amateur def
iniiion which the United States Na
tional Lawn Tenuis association placed
on its records at the annual meeting in
New York recently the only thing that
operates against a player being an am
ateur seems to be emplo.vuent by a
merchant of sporting goods in the lawn
tenuis department.
By a strange freak of legislation the
delegates voted a new constitution and
bylaws to supersede the old, which
practically were identical with the laws
under which the association has been
directed for more than twenty years
with one unimportant exception. The
great opportunity of enacting effective
laws to govern the game, which is be
coming more widespread every year
and attracting the youth of the coun
try, was completely lost in the mists
of arguuieutal fog and uncertain verb
iage. The clause in the section defining an
amateur uiiich would have prevented
the stigma of accepting valuable gratu
ities if not money would surely have
been passed had slight changes been
made in its wording which would have
made it as effective in operation. It
appeared that the majority of the dele
gates were in favor of legislation of
this sort.
But they split on the question of legit
imate clubs entertaining players. Karl
P.ehr was quick to see this and endeav
ored to have the objectionable features
amended. , Lyle E. Mahan and other
members of the revision committee
were given time to submit a change.
The result of their labors was so hope
lessly involved that Behr's efforts and
the objectionable clause, which was
the crux of the whole structure, tum
bled together. This clause, which was
stricken from the amateur definition,
read as follows:
"lias never accepted from
any hotel, club or similar organization
r.t which or in connection with which
a tennis tournament is being held,
transportation or money for transpor
tation or board, lodging or other gen
eral living accommodations or money
to cover any or all of the same, or
any secret or exceptional reduced rate
in connection with such tournament
The interpretation of this rule shall
not prevent a player from taking ad
vantage of a reasonable special rate
from such hotel, club or similar organ
ization if such special rate is properly
announced and is 'open to any one en
tering the tennis tournament."
Two remarkably strong points devel
oped in favor of such a clause asjlie
above being incorporated in the Ameri
can rules. England has recently enact
ed such a law, and the International
federation, which meets in Paris next
month, contemplates similar action In
its efforts to standardize all of the laws
and rules for all nations. '
Henry V. Slocum, the chairman of
the revision committee, struck a true
note when he stated that an American
amateur might find himself debarred
froni foreign tournaments because of
the laxity of the American rule in this
respect, and after the meeting it was
remarked that a question of this char
acter had once been diplomatically in
sinuated by England as to a player on
the United States Daris cup team, who.
possibly because of this, did not take
part in the matches.
The one thing" that Impressed those
who attended the thirty-second annual
meeting of the association was the
fact that the voting of proxies no long
er falls into the hands of one or two
prominent officials. It was much split
up. the western and southern clubs
standing fairly well together in voting
upon most matters, with a sprinkling
of the smaller eastern clubs giving
them the balance of power.
(m several occasions the line of de
niarcMtton appeared almost factional,
the west voting against the old guard
( r!ie east. It is likely that this pe-
i-liar feature will rather increase than
diminish, as the clubs throughout the
,M 1 1 1 1-v are becoming interested and
iIih-hUmI in the government of the
game
Iii connection with the awarding of
the national all coiners' championship
to NewMirt :i;iin Bob Wrenn revealed

sino are aware that the tournament

In the overcoat. The greatest fallacy
of all perhaps In regard to the choice
of an overcoat is that tbe terms

nearly always diametrically1 opposed.
Moreover, tbe heavy overcoat is a tax

The Test of Abraham's Faith. Gen.
xxii:l-19.
Golden Text I desire goodness,
and not sacrifice and the knowledge
of God more than burnt offerings.
Hos. vi:6.
(1) Verse 1 How many meanings
are there for the word tempt, and in
what sense did God tempt Abraham?
(2) Abraham had passed through
some wonderful tests of his faith;
what does it suggest that God tested
him still further.
(a) Would you say or not, and why,
that test of our faith will continue as
long as we live?
(4) Verse 2 Would you say or not
that God told Abraham to offer up his
son Isaac as a burnt offering, or that
Abraham only thought he did? Why?
(5) Should we in thought allow God
the right to tell us to do wrong? Give
your reasons.
(6) If under what seems to be a
PE OP POTATO I
tBEMANDsVANfSHESl
All hope of any material improve- j
ment in the potato market has pass- j
ed. The season is now so well advan-j
ced that it would be impossible to i
move the entire crop in many sec-!
tions of the Pacific Northwest, it is
stated, that not more than half of ,
thet crop has been dug. Prices are j
so low that producers say it does not j
pay to dig them. j
Nevertheless, more potatoes are ,
still being offered than the trade can
take care of. There is absolutely no
buying at country points and commis-'
sion handlers continue to write their ,
country shippers not to send forward :
additional supplies, because they can
not take care of them. Within the
memory of the oldest potato shipper
there has not been a situation in the
trade similar to that shown at pres
ent. Never before has there been
an entire lack of demand.
There have been some periods
when potato prices were extremely
low, but never when there was no de
mand at any price. California is so
loaded with her own growth that
there is not the slightest demand for
either Oregon, Idaho or Washington
stock. Arizona and Texas ' are not
buying from Western Oregon, because
they can obtain supplies at much low
er prices from California. Altogether,
the season is adverse so far as a
movement is concerned.
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:

J Questions for March 16
deep religion emotion we feel that God
is telling us to lie, steal or violate the
Christian standard of virtue, or do
anything else which we believe to be
wrong, should we obey the feeling or
at once banish it as a temptation of
the devil? Why?
(7) How may we assuredly distin
guish the voice of God from every
other spiritual influence?
(S) Verse 3 If we are verily as
sured that God tells us to do a thing,
are we under obligation to do it no
matter what the consequences may
be? Give your reasons.
(9) What Yould you suppose Abra
ham's thoughts were while on this
three days' journey to the place where
he was going to kill and then to offer
up his son to God as a brunt offering?
(10) If Abraham were now living,
can you conceive of his having a con
mand from God to slay his son?
(11) Verses 4-6 What would ap
pear to be Abraham's motive in not al
lowing his servants to accompany
him and Isaac to the place of the pro
posed burnt offering?
(12) Verses 7-10 It was a custom
of the Semitic races to offer up their
firstborn, their most loved child, as a
sacrifice to God; would you think it
probable that Abraham got the sug
gestion to offer up Isaaac from this
source? Why?
(13) Suppose Abraham was mistak
en as to the. orif'n of his purpose to
d Isaac. To what extent would
that alter your opinion of the sublim
ity of his character, and the strength
of this test of his faith?
(14) What reason, if any, is there
to suppose that Abraham had informed
Isaac of what God had commanded
him and that he had consented to be
the innocent victim?
(15) Put yourself in Abraham's
place and say how your faith would be
tested and how many objections there
would be to believe tnat God had
commanded you to offer up your
Isaac?
(16) If Abraham had actually
slain and offered up Isaac would he
have been the admiration or the ex
ecration of Christian people?
(17) Verses 11-12 What propor
tion of the dreadful things that some
times oppress us like a horrible night
mare does God allow to actually hap
pen? (18) Why may we rest in the per
fect assurance that God will never
cause us to do any deed contrary to
the law of love?
(19) Verses 13-J.9 What does this
ram that was caught in the thicket
teach us concerning God always com
ing to our rescue?
(20) After several tests of his faith
what always happens to the faithful
one v?ho is true to the voice of God in
his soul? (This is one of the questions
which may be answered in writing by
members of the club.)

W. R. RATHOON TO SPEAK
Prominent Denver Christian Scientist
to be Here March 17
It is often wondered why so many
business men, particularly in our
large cities, have accepted the teach
ings of Christian Science and have
become so earnest in their support
of it. The qualities that make for
success in any line of business are
confidence, hopefulness, good nature,
energy, initiative, a clear head and
clean hands. Christian Scientists
claim their religion brings these
things to any one who will sincerely
apply its teachings to their everyday
affairs, snd its rapid growth among
successful business men in all parts
of the world would indicate that
their claim is being made good. An
authorized lecture on "Christian
Science and Its Results" will be de
livered at the Shiveley Thtatre Mon
day evening, March 17, at 8 P. M. by
Mr. William R. Rathvon, of Denver,
Colorado, a member of the Christian
Science Board of Lectureship of Bos
ton, Mass.
P. E. & L R 1 TO
SUE FOR RIGHT OF- WAY
Condemnation proceedings will
probably have to be brought by the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern Railroad
Company against a few owners of land
bisected by its survey for the com
pany's main line between Oswego and
Oregon City. It is knqwn that the
company has about exhausted its pa
tience iu trying to arrive at an un
derstanding with some of these prop
erty owners as to the value of the
strip necessary for the construction
Oi the road.
President Robert E. Strahorn, of
tnp company admitted that the delay
iu contracting for the construction
of the Portland-Salem link of the
immense system was due to the po
sition taken by some owners of land
principally between Oswego and Ore
gon City., and he admitted, too, that
unless an early settlement can be ef
fected the company will have to take
the matter into court.
While President Strahorn would
not go into details as to the causes of
the delays, it is understood that cer
tain property owners who are in a
position to profit most by the building
of the line are holding tightset to the
strip required for the right of way.
Of course these some are said to have
placed their lands on the market, and
are neraldmg far and wide the bene
fits that will follow from the build
in of the road. At the same time they
are said to have been trying to ex
tract every drop of blodd they dossI-
bly can from the railroad company, in
some cases asking $5000 for a strip
that without the railroad would not
be worth more than $500.
It is readily agreed that without
the promise of the rail transportation
facilities there would have been no
such increases in land values as in
vestigation reveals, and this notwith
standing the company's right of way
men are confronted with propositions
that are anything but encouraging.

you will look it up and find your stock

that you invested in a hole in the

of about $1,000,000 a year. It has tak

short $10,000 to carry on our work
to completion we think this a very
small amount to ask our friends who
