COMPAtiy mmmMimimmmiiimiiimHmmm inmiiMiiimf" "ittiiiiiitiiiti'iiHisiiwiNiiHisiiiHMsaiamtmit frWSl JEVVELR In the days when sport was spindly in the legs and sportsmen were banana-fingered, there were no clearly defined, styles for different games- One dressed much as the leather-faced fisherman doe In any old thing or anything old-Indeed, the type was almost ashamed to be Well-turned-out lest the difference between ls get-up and his game Jaecome too noticeable. Sporting clothes have had to take many a knockdown from prejudice and ridicule before they won place In the sun." Today, the type of dress worn for tennis and golf and polo and yachting, the rich man's sports, are as distinct from one another as clothes worn in the ballroom are apart from those worn In the backwoods. Touch-and-go tennis Is pre-eminently the young man's game, or, at least, you must have played It from youth up to keep it up. Therefore, the styles for tennis are essentially young men's styles with the freedom and flexibility that this sport demands. Instead of white flannel trousers, grny flannels are now often worn or white duck "slacks." The favorite shirt Is that of white cheviot having wide elbow-length sleeves and a soft collar left open at the throat- A very practical garment is that made with shirt and drawers In one combination style.

This prevents the shirt from riding up, as It has a disconcerting trick of doing during play. FRIDAY, AUGUST 15 (Local Time.) WJ2, New York, time pep question game) Belleclair Tower's orchestra.
