. PAGE FIVE THUNDER STANDS By VINCENT RICHARDS FROM THE CHAPTER I It was spring. At first, emerging from the shade of the clubhouse into the brilliance of the Carolina sun- shine, Len Rollins saw the court and the surrounding stands slightly out of focus. He blinked as he went forward, drinking deeply of the still, cool air. The patter of applause, at first slight, became louder as he ap- proach to where referee, ball boys and officials were waiting grouped at one side of the court, near a small table. He peeled off his sweat- er, placed three of his racquets on a chair, retaining one. The applause started again and he looked over his shoulder to see Don Clark, his thin figure outlined against the green background, coming forward. 'Howya, Rolly" Clark asked. "Rotten." They laughed, "To work" Clark asked. "Sooner we start sooner we're through." The thin young man made a ges- ture with. one hand. "Hope that court's all dried up. Looks damp in that one corner." Len shrugged. "It didn't rain much, just a couple of hours. We've played on worse." "Sure we have! Let's go." They walked out on the sun- flooded court. Racquets fell non- chalantly, surely; the ball danced back and forth between them as they wi edup. .-. . Len er afraid. He had reach- ed the final at Alken. The tourna- ment all the members of the Davis Cup team had played in, the tour- nament every Davis Cup hopeful had entered in an attempt to win recognition. And he had reached the final. Only this thin young man across the net from him--Don Clark, America's number one man and world's number three, remained. Len was sure of a place on the team. They needed him to help try to wrest the historic Davis Cup away from the indomitable French. men, bring it back to America. He was a success! That's what Grace had wanted him to be. Only she--this was a hell of a time to be thinking about Grace Worthington. They were through, finished, wash- ed-up. And it was all her fault. She had her fool ideas about his not playing tennis. Asif a year or two of playing could affect his whole life. He was only twenty-two! His whole life lay before him. He'd never had anything--always had had to work. Why couldn't she see that and understand that he had to have a year or two of fun before he settled down? And this sort of fun was innocent. If he batted around with other girls, or did a lot of drinking or anything like that --then she'd have something to kick about. But playing tennis, and play- ing it well enough to reach the Al- | ken final-- If it was as silly, as unimportant as Grace claimed, then why did standing out here with the musical sound of the racquets in his ears, with Don Clark across the net danc- ing noiselessly to and fro, with the occasional thunder from the stands in his ears, with this headiness rampent within him--why did all of this lift him out of himself and make him feel like God? That last scene with Grace( could it really have been six months ago!) returned clearly, vividly. It was the day before he was leaving to play in the Southern Championships in Florida. "Marry nie now, Gracie" he had pleaded. "Right away. We'll go south together." "No, Len," she had replied quiet- ly. "I'm afraid. You've promised too many times to give up tennis-- and you're still playing. You'll prob- ably be playing forever." "But it isn't forever, Grace; can't you see that? I think I'm on my way to win a place on the Davis Cup team. That's something I've dreamed of ever since I first took a racquet in my hand. And now that my ambition may be realized running, sweating on the other side of it--of these only was he aware. This now was his one and only world. They changed courts and Len realized, with cool lation, that he was leading two games to one. They paused at the table to sip lemon water and wipe the racquet handles. If he could break Don Clark's ser- vice he'd have a lead the Davis Cup star would never overcome. It was going to be a battle all right, but he would win, He gripped his racquet tightly; the ball spun up off the grass. He stroked it to Clark's backhand. The return from Clark was to his own backhand. Drop-shot. Clark racing in frantically, reaching the ball but unable to do anything with it. Cool ly Len banged it away. Back jt came, low and hard. Again the racquet flashed and again the "screw ball" was good. He was 'on" today all right. . The lob was high and deep. He had to go back. Far back and to his left--toward the corner. He ran swiftly, in pursuit of the ball al- ready over his head and quickly de- scending. The ground suddenly opened un- der him. His feet no longer were on Iirm grass. He was strangely in the air. His arms flayed but failed to | find anything to cling to. Don Clark's words flashed alarmingly in his brain: "Hope the court's all dried up. Looks damp in that corn- er." He went down heavily, trying des- perately to keep his left leg free-- and failing. He heard something crack sharply, vet peculiarly muf- fled. And then his foot went dead. But only for a second it was dead. Then searing, wracking pain--pain like thousands of nails being driven simultaneously through the ankle-- gripped him. A dark and merciful blanket shut out everything. +» 2 + Getting the job hadn't been so difficult, after all, He had read in the newspaper about a European princess who had found a position as de luxe saleslady in an exclusive | women's shop on Fifty-seventh wouldn't a sporting goods organiza. tion such as Talbot's with stores throughout the country, possibly want to have someone like him serve their tennis department? At nine-thirty the morning after his release from the hospital he presented himself at the executive offices of Talbot's Fifth Avenue store. ushered into Henry Justin's office. He sat in a deep armchair facing the tall, heavy-set, grey-haired sales manager. "I read all about it in the papers," Justin said. "Most lamentable," Len nodded. "One of life's tough breaks, 1 guess. Naturally," he on, "I must get to work: faget about tennis now that I'll ne e able to play again. I'm looking'gor a job, Mr. Justin, and I th perhaps Talbot's might find mes bY some value." x Justin was silent for a long time. Len watched his face eagerly, but his expression was inscrutable. Only the soft staccato drumming of the well-kept fingernails had relieved the tension, T Finally Justin asked: "You would not be averse, Mr. Rollins, to work- ing in the racquets department? Most of our salesmen start at twenty dollars a week, with com- missions of course. But because of the value of your name associated with Talbot's tennis department we would start you with a slightly higher salary. Say twenty-five dol- lars. . Len leaned forward in his chair, "If it's all the same to you, Mr. Justin," he said evenly, "I'd just as soon start at twenty, like the rest of the beginners." The sales manager's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but only for =n instant. Then zuddenly the tattoo against the blotter stopped. "You THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1940 _..

But the advertisement was bound to steer plenty -of customers his way, and every customer meant one per cent commission of the total sale. They'd get along on that nicely, very nice- ly--he and Grace. Funny how love affected a girl. Look -what Grace was giving up to marry him. He wondered whether, if he were in Grace's place he would exchange =o readily all the wealth and comfort and security that was hers for a twenty dollars a week tennis racquet salesmen just for love. But he'd make jt all up to her. He'd devote his life to making her happy; he'd never hurt her or cause her to :1ed a single tear. He'd love her as long as he lived.

MONDAY EVENING Member of National War Advisory Committee to Be Guest Speaker --Rotary, Kiwanis and Kinsman-- The three Oshawa Service Clubs are anticipating a bumper attend- ance at a joint dinner meeting to be held at the Genosha Hotel on Monday evening, and it is quite likely a number of guests of mem- bers of the three clubs will also be present. J. G. Parker, general manager of the Imperial Life Insurance Co. who is a member of the National War Advisory Committee, Ottawa, is to be the special speaker. His address will centre on the sale of war stamps and certificates and the need for greater local activity in the pormotion of sales in order that the Dominion shall adequately filance her war commitments.

Opening Norwegian Navy Camp In U.S. they | QUESTION OF US, FINANCIAL AID TO BRITAIN SHELVED (Continued from: Page 1) in her dollar resources and this | knowledge fortifies a sympathetic press in adopting a "wait-and-see" attitude. In August, 1939, the federal re- serve board estimated Britain's re- sources in the United States at more than $4,000,000,000--$2,000,000,- 000 in gold, $600,000,000 of dollar balances, more than $700,000,000 of securities and $9800,000,000 in other investments. It is estimated that since the outbreak of war she has spent or contracted to pay more than $4,000,000,000 for aircraft, munitions, ships and other supplies. Lively controversy is anticipated in congress when the subject is tak- en up for definite consideration. Loans to nations in default on war debts are prohibited by the Johns- son Act and Britain owes some $3,500,000,000 as a result of the first Great War. Loans to belligerent nations also are forbidden by the Neutrality Act, | Few papers this week say credits | should not be extended; few take | | a positive position on the other side | | of the question. Most of the coun- | | try's leading newspapers, expressing | the realization that the question | must some time be dealt with, urge | Americans to think over the situa- | | tion carefully, keeping in mind the | | fact the United States' interests | le with Britain. The influential New York Herald Tribune urges a free gift of money, | saying: "The United States has a vital interest in British survival. | | That means not only ships and | planes, not only loans, but subsidies. In the financial as in every other | field it means the broad view and | the boldesi action, Little means will not serve great ends; and the ends of the 'all aid' policy are very | great indeed." Shoulder Responsibility Also outspoken Is the" Cleveland | Plain Dealer. '"Fetish-bound John- | son Acts must not be permitted to stand in the way," it said. "What ' | the courageous people of Britain | are doing is keeping the war away from us. We who admire their sta- | mina from a safe distance must shoulder our part of the responsi. | bility."
