RANKS.
Casper w. Whitney In Harper's Weekly.
The championship tournament which be-
gan last Tuesday at Newport was heralded
far and wide as a record-breaker. because
eighty-two names were entered. When the
entry list is closely examined. however, it
is discovered that more than one-half OF
these names are those of men who have no
right whatever to play in a championship
tournament. and who freely confess that
their only reason for entering is in order 10
avail themselves of the privileges granted
to competitors Each year there is consid-
cradle talk about thinning out this dead
wood, and limiting the entry to those play
ers who have shown a certain amount of
proficiency but nothing is ever done.
1t would certainly not be desirable to bar
from our national tournament any player
who has shown proficiency. or even prom
ise in any section of the country. On the
contrary. these are the ones who should be
encouraged to enter, that thereby the finer
points of the game may be learned and dis
seminatad throughout the land. 1t is the
duffer, the novice, the man who handles a
racquet perhaps half a dozen times year,
who has no ambition whatsoever, upon
whom legislation should fall. and thereby
insure a shorter, more in terestng and more
satisfactory tournament
Slow Development of Talent.
New talent has been very slow of devel-
ment In recent years. Since 1892, when
Wrenn. Chace and Larned came to the
front with bound, the same six or seven
men have remained in the front rank year
after year without a single infusion of
young blood. and with wide margin Of
superiority over the next class, until this
year, when John Rowland comes to the
front with a rush.
These leaders have been SO constantly be-

of but a short time, however, I assure
you.
Il shall make no comments upon any

more prominence than 1t deserves. ! shall
retain my eauanimity until the day of the
fight, and when it is over the public will
be able to decide which is the better man. "
When asked how many rounds he thought
the battle would last and the tactics he
would assume, he said:
THAT is a hard matter to state before

he will assume until he meets his opponent
in the riag and sizes up his manner CT
