A ~ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922 TENNIS by Mercer Beasley, Tennis Coach,Indian Hill Club. TOPICS Monday, June 26, opens the big Illi- nois State Championship tournament at Skokie. The arrangements for your comfort have been completed and you are sure to see Tilden go through the tournament to the final round; in fact, at this moment I am almost con- ceding him the title, but, if Richards arrives in town and brings his rack- ets, the ones that he has just taught to act cleverly for him, the ones he used at Hartford, Conn., last Satur- day when he defeated Tilden for the New England State Title, why, then the result is in doubt. It is hoped the doubt will enter into the whole tournament because we won't have so much of, "I told you so." Among those who will play are: William T. Tilden the 2nd, Cham- pion Lawn Tennis Player of the World, and Champion Lawn Tennis Player of the U. S. Walter T. Hayes, Champion Clay Court Champion of the U. S., and Champion, State of Illinois. Fritz Bastian, Champion, State of Michigan, -and Champion, State of Florida. A. Weller, Champion, State of Wis- consin. Phillip Bettens, Champion, 3 times Junior Champion of California. a Miss Marian Leighton, Champion, Women, State of Illinois. : Julius Sagalowsky, Champion, Boy Champion, U. S. George Lott, Champion, Boy Cham- pion, Chicago. : The feature matches of the Skokie Tournament will be reported in this paper in detail, and it will be my pleasure to present the newest man- ner of scoring for your consideration. The Indian Hill Club Invitation tour- nament will start at 2:30 on July 1 with the final matches on July 4. There will be Men's Singles, Women's Singles and Men's Doubles. This will be the Indian Hill's first Invitation Tennis tournament and Victor Elting, the chairman of the Tennis commit- tee, has succeeded in arranging some very high class competition. As usual, "Over There," meaning London, things are again mixed up. Suzanne said Miss Ryan was the best woman player in the world (next to herself) and that Mrs. Mallory was below Miss Ryan in her own ranking system. But along comes Miss Mec- Kane, a nineteen-year-old star, and defeats Miss Ryan 6-3, 6-3 and Su- zanne is now troubled over the fact. Mrs. Mallory does not seem to be wor- rying, however, and it is getting close to June 26, when the big tournament opens at Wimbledon. Tilden and Richards have entered the Clay Court Championship of the United States. The matches will be played at the Woodstock Country club, Indianapolis, durig the week of July 2 Shimidzo and Kashio are playing in the Metropilitan (N. Y.) Clay Court championship. They are paired in the doubles. Richards and Voshell hold the title at present. The French and Danish teams split even in their first Davis Cup matches, held at Copenhagen. Answer to last week's question: Yes, provided you do not hit the net. This week's question: If a ball going out of court hits the net post and bounces back into the court, is it a good return? \ Extracti»n Speci-li:ts Guaranteed Painless STAR X-RAY LABORATORY 22 F..

GLENCOE, ILL. 1 = 404 Glencoe Road JIA A FT Ills re ER Eh hh By EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK "It's Easy When You Know How" Editor's Note: The accompanying article is the second of a series of special discourses on the general sub- ject of "Home Ownership," a vitally important qucstion of interest to ail citizens. A little investigation will disclose "If you are a renter don't get too indignant and bring on an attack of high blood pressure when talking about your landlord. There is some- thing to say on his side of the case. For instance: His money is invest- ed in the building in which you live. He pays taxes, insurance, upkeep, and if it is an apartment or flat, janitor's wages, heating, water tax. The matter of upkeep is not a small item. Ten- ants are notoriously careless about other people's property and strict rules are necessary to prevent them and, too frequently, their angel chil- dren, from depreciating the value of the property at a ruinous rate. If he expects to realize a profit on his investment he must do business strictly on business principles; he must watch his step and yours as "hat is what one That was worth "This Is Not All | Owe You!' he handed us his check. "The careful attention that you folks gave to every detail of my wife's funeral, the delicacy and the rever- ence you showed, put me in your debt forever---a debt that I cannot repay." perhaps you will understand; we're very human, you know! PHONE EVANSTON GOO well. He must also watch out for dead beats, for there is an army of them. This accounts for the fact that the relations between landlords and ten- ants are not always as cordial---not to say as loving--as could be desired. The best way to avoid having trouble with your landlord is to be your own landlord. Build a home of vour own. You can then make all the rules you please about the man- agement of the property and, if it should happen that you are tempted to break any of those rules, or if your angel children should offend their landlord, you will not be in danger of having a notice to vacate served on you. A little investigation will inclose the method by which many thousands of homes have been built by those who are now occupying them in peace and comfort. Building and loan as- sociations can account for hundreds of thousands of such homes. These purely co-operative societies have been doing business successfully for many years and they stand ready to help those who are willing to do their part. They are doing their share to- ward solving the housing problem. As a renter that problem confronts you every rent paying day. man tcld us when more to us than CHICAGO PD i AVE. ¢S ps | RO od DISTINCTIVE am FUNECRAL rs 1 ae SERVICE Visit Our Used Car Department For Real Buys =_ Some of the Bargains We Have to Offer Today 1920 Lexington Touring--best $900.00 of condition--will let it go at 1921 Lexington (THOROBRED) slightly used, $1475.00. 1922 GARDNER Demonstrator, $890.00. : 1921 Slightly used GARDNER with new spare tire, bumper, and other extras; bargain at $785.00. 1918 OAKLAND, just overhauled .....53 0G 000. $215.00 1919 OAKLAND TOURING ........... 4...
