Tennis Stars Ineligible I f They Go Into Business
( thomAS V
ivk
GiDtTA. ft*** sSftweM*
When is an amateur a professional is a question which has finally drifted
into the tennis game. Maurice McLoughlin and Thomas Bund, two of the most
noted tennis players in the country may lose their amateur standing; because
they have opened up a sporting: goods store in San Francisco.
The bis: point made by the antitrade apostles of tennis is that the cracks
are seeking to make capital of their tennis prowess. The rule in point Is
quoted as follows:
"An amateur Is one who is not connected with the sale of tennis goods,
nor with a firm manufacturing or selling tennis goods, except when such con
nection shall be of a general nature in a firm manufacturing or selling general
athletic goods, and the person so connected has to do with tennis goods is to
no greater extent than with any other line of goods."

A JAPANESE WOMAN BANKER
Eighteen years ago, when I was here,
audiences were small and the govern
ment schools were closed to Christian
ity; the churches were shabby and
the forms of worship ragged, and the
temper of the nation was distinctly
anti-Christian. Now, great congrega
tions come to hear the preaching. Wor
ship has grown far more fervent. The
nation openly confesses its need of
religion. I wish you could have seen
the eager faces of the students, or
looked at that great gathering of at
tentive men in Osaka and heard old
Mr. Morlmura, the millionaire business
man from Tokyo, speak to them of the
nation's moral needs, which could only
be met by faith in God. Another in
teresting character whom we met was
Mrs. Hiraoka, a member of the great
Mitsui banking family. She herself
owns a number of banks. She is a lit
tle, energetic, bustling woman, very
masterful In her ways, who made old
Mr. Moi-imura and the rest of us stand
around and take our seats. She Is
greatly respected and absolutely fear
less, and travels all over the country
now, preaching to men and so on. She
goes right into her own banks and 1
holds evangelistic meetings. THE
