There are hundreds of such homes as| portrayed here but we do not always see the home picture as a whole as well as we see it in this story. We follow Christine with genuine in- terest. Her heart and her head certain- ly did not always agree and we find again and again when her head or we might say her ambition gave way to what her heart said was the better plan. And it always was the better ally changed to aid for one in trouble. Then. we get a glimpse of two more ocâ€" casions when want of money made it necessary for one of the family to give up education for the time being and both these times it fell to Christine to be the one who remained at home. Then she was more determined than ever that she would grasp Opportunity when it came her way. Opportunity1 did come her way for the granting of the desire of her heart but instead of one door to enter, two doors stood side bi side. the door of Self-first and the d or of Others-first. After many hours of thought and debating she finally chose the door of Others-first and reap- ed the harvest that all folk reap who put into practice of loosing their life for Christ‘s sake.

BELIEVES DAVIS CUP SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN Canada is only academically inter- ested in the Davis cup competitions; so if there is anything derogatory to be said about them, this would seem to be a good time to say it. Later on when 1!-.. vaâ€" ' we produce a team which qualifies for the final round nobody -- would dare to disparage the competitions. Yet John R. Tunis, a New York sports writer and authority on tennis, gives it as his 0p- inion that they have strayed far from. their original intentions, and that while they have done a tremendous lot of' good to the game they are now likely to do a great deal of harm. He even suggests in Harper’s that Dwight Davis, who presented the cup, should with- draw it. Failing that. he proposes that competitions should be held every two years or every four years or every 65 years. The germ of bigness, the typical 'American virus, has seized upon tennis and what was once a leisurely. gentle- manly cOmpetition occupying perhaps a month’s time and 'a couple of months’ thought. hasgrown to be a grind com- . parable to that of the professional ball- ‘player. In fact. an American who took part in all the. competitions expected of him and. survived to the finals would have spent seven months on the game. The theory is that he is an amateur. How is he supposed to live for those seven months? Origin of the Cup The idea of offering the Davis Cup came to Mr. Davis in 1899 when, a keen ‘ amateur .player, he and Malcolm D. Whitman. Beals C. Wright and H01- combe Ward, while they were still Har- vard students, made a tour of the Western states giving exhibitions. At‘ that time the game was regarded with some contempt by the redâ€"blooded and hairy-chested, and Mr. Davis thought that by “offering a trophy for competi- tion by the best teams from England and the United States, it might be lifted from this reproach and recog- nized as a manly sport in which be- men might indulge without aspersions being cast on their virility. There was _â€"A"‘-L‘A ‘- vw-v no great public interest manifested in the earlier games, and in 1900 the Eng- lish players arrived without anybody to greet them, and not knowing precisely where they were to play they wandered away to Niagara Falls where they were overtaken. At another time, two or three years later, it was discovered in the midst of a game when a close decision had to be made that the lines- Iman had left his post to catch a train for home. Rather informal and jolly be noised abroad, other nations began to challenge for the cup, and it is cus- tomary nowadays for from twenty to thirty of them to enter teams. It was perceived that it was rather expensive‘ to have some twenty or thirty teams assemble in one country, as ibr Olympic games, and so the scheme of dividing the world into zones was established. This made it possible for the early loser to return home without much ext- pense. There followed another limita- I tion in area, still further to reduce ex- ‘HULL‘ UD u U (JG-luv ............

The growing popularity of the game has increased receipts, and in- creased receipts have been generously expended. For instance, last year the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion received $30,000 as its share of the gates drawn by the American team. In A A. AKA é“ Gn‘n- 5|..ku “owvv-u wa -___ the same year it spent $1,950 in tele- phone calls to Paris to determine whether William T. Tilden was in fact an amateur and qualified to play on the team. vv'vâ€"â€"_- Bad for the Players The players insist in traveling in the style of movie stars or international financiers. Knowing that they are not permitted to take money directly, they insist upon getting their share of the profits of the game in expense ac- counts. So the Davis Cup tripping becomes demoralizing to them. As Mr. Tunis says. “It is demoralizing to them because they are pampered and indul- ged and, taken de luxe about the world in a way which they will totally be un-‘ able to live up to when they begin earning their own living. Luxurious and expensive tastesare formed; once form- ed they are by no means easily changed or curtailed. At a time when other young men of their age are starting in business life. the Davis Cup players are asked to give up the best part of a year and concentrate upon sport. The whole atm sphere of the competition creates fa se values. A half-dozen young men are practically wpported by the association in an amateur game. Presumably they are playing for the fun of the thing. . . . . but act- ually they are paid just as truly as the imembers of the New York Giants are paid by the owners of that baseball club A LA... ..

Sport for Millionaires We do not share the views of Mr. Tunis on the question of amateurism being constitutionally incapable of see- ing any moral or social difference be- tween an amateur and a professional. nor why a man is not as much entitled to earn a living by his skill in swinging a tenns racket as by his skill in swing- ing a pick. Nevertheless. his argument _ _-A A---“ “'AB‘A hf UV"... vovyvvv w..... are not treated as luxuriously as the Americans. It is plain. also that a game that so seriously interferes with a man’s business is one for profession-‘ als rather than amateur.

But there seems to be a pros- pect that if the present tendency con- tinues unchecked the Davis Cup will come in time to resemble the America’s Cup. It will be a sport for millionaires. and will arouse public attention about once in every five xeus.
