FRENCH “IRITER. TRACES

TENNIS TO HOMELAND

PARIS, Sept. 1.—(U.P.) - The game of tennis really originated in France and not in England as gen- erally supposed, according to Jean Lecoq, sports-writer of the Petlt

_ Journal.

"The game which we have im-

ported from England is, as far as can be ascertained by historical doc- uments, an old game played in France centuries ago. The English learned it from our ancestors. Ifiis an Englishman who gives proof of this. i ' “In 1598, Robert Dallington, secre- tary of the British Embassy in France, published in Paris a work entitled ‘The View of France’ in which he remarked that the French were very enthusiastic over bodily exercise, such as found in dancing, shootinz the cross-bow and the Piiiying of paille-maiile. The Eng- lishman then writes, ‘But the most favorite sport is tennis.’ "

Dalllngton is then quoted as say- in! that more people were playing tennis in France that year than in all the rest of Christendom combin- ed, and that there wel'e 60 courts at Orleans and several hundred in Par-

YANKEES A GOOD TEAM The Moncton Transcript says the C. C.'s gave an exhibition of the brand of baseball they are capable of playing when they defeated the visiting Connecticut Yankees 5 to 4. In administering o. beatingto the Yankees, they proved conclus- ively that they are a good ball team when they are going right and one which will be hard to beat out for the Maritime championship. They disposed of the strongest United States team to come this way this year, and to do it they played errorless ball and turned in some sensational plays, -to say nothing of the "hidden ball’ stunt Bastarache pulled on one of the visiting players.

FORUM FOR. SAINT JOHN? Prospects of an arena for Saint Johni That certainly stirs the blood.“ Hockey is going over in a big way in the Marltimes and Saint John should be in on it. New Brunswick sixes need hockey. Play- ers in all sections of the province have shown much concern over Saint John being rlnkless. S0 have the fans.

Canada's national winter sport deserves a Saint John setting. And the people of that city and envir- ons are equally deserving of a chance to enjoy this grand game anew.

BACK IN TWO YEARS

Sir Thomas Lipton has deferred his challenge for the America Cup for two years. The baronet who qualifies as the world's greatest op- timist considers the time is too short to build a challenger of the type he wants to adequately repre- sent England in the international event. Whether he will go in for the efficiency gadgem that the American defender showed so im- pressiveiy in the last races, has not been decided. As Sir Thomas has set his heart on the cup he may abandon his old ideas, and take full advantage of every opportunity al- lowed by the regulations, and fin- ally come through with that long deferred victory, which would be received with intense enthusiasm lall over the sport world.

was broached, McLarnin not only demanded the lion's share of gate receipts but insisted upon being al- lowed to come in at catchweights.

With McLornin winning the sec- ond match, a "rubber“ contest over a. longer route became a natural. Petrolle was willing and accepted terms without dispute. Foster, how- ever, refused to entertain suggest- ions of a 15 round bout on the plea that Jimmy was “just a boy" and again demanded the biggest share of gate receipts and a weight ad- vantage.
