BELGIUM FOR NET
CHANGE
Belgium’s Tennis Federation will
support the suggestion to hold the
last two Davis Oup tennis rounds
biennially instead of annually. The
suggestion will be made at a meeting
of the Davis Cup nations in London
this June.
Belguim, however, does not want
to eliminate all Davis Cup play
every other year. Like Germany,
the Belgium federation favors hold
ing the American and European zone
competition one year and the inter
zone final and challenge round the
next.
The South African proposal sup
ported ,by other members of the
British Empire, is simply to cut out
the entire competition every other
year. It is generally believed both
proposals will be defeated.

TENNIS
Many Entrants In Tennis
Tournament
Our tennis courts were ready this
spring for use on the first warm
tennis enticing days. After looking
at the ladders for the tennis ’ tourna
ment, now in process, you can not
doubt that the early work on the
courts was worthless and unappre
ciated. Never before, as far back
as any of us who are turning grey
can remember, has Salem had such
a large number of entrants in a ten
nis tournament. Heretofore, our
tennis managers have had to an
nounce and plead and threaten to
dispense with tournaments entirely
just in order to wheedle enough of
U3 into signing up to make a decent
ladder. But this year, tennis history
at Salem has got off the circular
race track where it annually re
peated itself and on to a straighter
track where landmarks are seen but
once. Not only did enough people
sign up so that we could have one
good ladder, but enough signed so
that w^ have three. A total of sev
en ty-six girls have entered the
tournament. These girls have been
divided into three groups for sepa
rate tournaments; the A-elass tourn-
ambent has twenty-nine players; the
B-class tournament has thirty-five
players; and the CVelass has fifteen
B-class may challenge any player in
the A-class, or she may be asked to
be moved into the class above her..
Players in the C-class may do like
wise and challenge B-players, or if
they are exceedingly ambitious,
they may challenge and A-classer.
The seeded players of the A-class
are Wolfe, Frazier, and the present
title-holder — Couch.

MR. TALLEY TALKS
ON THE GREEN
The other day I was importantly
inspecting some unfamiliar golf
clubs and selecting several of the
least valuable looking balls in prep
aration for an hour’s swing session.
Now my golf experience and knowl
edge are hardly on a par with John
ny Manero’s but I was nevertheless
thinking how lucky we are to have
the athletic field on which to prac
tice strokes, and how much more fun
it was going to be when the new
course is completed and we could use
it. At this point, Mr. Talley, mis
taking me for an intelligent golfer,
ambled over to where I was digging
holes in the field and began talking
about the new course. He told me
that some years ago before the ath
letic field was what it is, Salem had
a golf course laid out with nine holes,
but the course was never completed.
Then he pointed out to me our nearly
completed course which will consist
of four greans. He explained how
much trouble and work it took not
only to make these four, but to keep
them up and I would see that he was
really anxious to keep them in shape
for us if we would use them. In
fact, I could see that Mr. Talley was
quite interested in golf himself. Se
lecting one of my clubs, he showed
me how much he had learned just
from observing some of our golfers
down swinging in' the afternoons. I
eagerly invited him to join the group
“At” has been directing so he may
show up some afternoon. If he does,
he’ll probably have plenty of com
pany if the golf enthusiasts con
tinue to come out. A few among
us: Bahnson, Vogler, Kiik, Hutaff,
Jones, Dickerson, Early and others
have had some experience already.
Most of the rest of us — I hope I’m
not hurting anybody’s feelings —
Emily McCoy, Mary Louise Siewers,
Helen Stras, Betty Jane Nally, Glenn
Griffin, t)he two Carters, Mildred
Troxler, E. B. Grantham, Stella, and
others are still on the green.

the Roof Saturday night . . . And
by the way, Kate and 0. J. seem
to be “that way” more than ev

Martha Coons getting into car with
Dick LaRoque . . . Congratula

which was due a month ago has
now been completed! . . . How
about the good-looking blond from
Salisbury that Nancy drags to all

say , . . Sue can’t seem to wake
up her mind between those two
football players. Double-trouble, it’s
called . . . And if Lucille gets
what she is after, she had better
move to High Point ... It
seems to have taken a lot of nerve
for Paschal to ask that little boy
from Carolina to the May Day
Dance. Is he coming, Mary Ann? . .
Two lucky Salemites: Mary Bald

broadcasts, Monday, April 18th at

Sports Colvimn Returns on
N.B.C. Stations April 18
You baseball fans who like real en
thusiasm as well as knowledge of the
game from your sports commentators
will find one who fits in Paul Doug
las, Chesterfield’s baseball expert,
who will review the games and play
ers nightly at 6:30 P. M., E. S. T.,
started April 18th with the season’s
opening, ni a quarter-hour broadcast
over 50 National Broadcasting Com
pany stations from the Atlantic
Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
Douglas is not only one of the
country’s best sports commentators
but a real fan who never misses a
game if he can help it. He roams
the parks, knows all the players, and
gets as wildly excited as the dyed-
in-the-wool baseball lover who does
his broadcasting from the outfield
bleachers and hath a carrying voice.
IN THE WAITING ROOM
The waiting room was bleak and
lifeless. Every spark of person
ality had gone from it, and I sat
lonely, unmoved, waiting impatient
ly for the train that would take me
back to New York, life, excitement,
where I could write unmolested, in
spired by an unending store of per
sonalities.
•I gazed, frankly curious, at every
new passer-by. Suddenly a tall,
dark-haired, blue-eyed girl rustled
past me and sat down a few feet
away. There was a rose caught in
her tangled curls and she was un-
aifectedly eating an ice-cream cone.
Where had she got the rose? Why
did she look so stonily at the tele
gram in her lap? Why was she all
alone with so much baggage?
I forgot to be curious about that,
for a dirty little tot had stumped
his toe on my bag and had fallen
head-long into my box of angel-food
cake. His poor, ragged mother
caught at him roughly and was
spanking him soundly, as I fumbled
blindly in my pocket for some gift.
A cough-drop was all I found but
the child started away, sucking it
happily.
I felt confused. Perhaps a maga
zine would quiet my nerves. At the
news-stand a slim Italian had prop
ped himself carelessly between his
counter and a shelf of cigars. He
shifted his position very slightly to

The one ring circus was visiting a

recognized all the instruments of the

hand me my change. Then his eyes
turned again to his .books. (It was
“Borneo and Juliet”.) I stood fas
cinated gazing at his deep, earnest
eyes and his enraptured face—pale
and thin. In the distance I heard a
harsh whistle, cold and unreal in
the night air. The building shook
slightly. I knew I had to go to my
train and yet his voice — how would
it sound? I stood still, waiting.
Then he looked up, slowly, kindly.
His deep dark eyes saw beyond the
cold gray weakness of the waiting
room, beyond the bright, noisy town.
When he spoke his voice was low,
as if he too were in a tomb. “Your
train is here,' I believe.”
I mumbled some incoherent word,
and moved away toward the ticket
office. “I’ve changed my mind.
Please refund my money on this tick
et to New York. I’m going to stay
here. ” .
