Announcements fan the Notable Matches
for the Season.

for the Season.
The schedule of the United States
National Lawn Tennis association has
been issued, and a good seasons bust
ness is surely indicated. State cham
pionships appear to be on the increase,
and the interscholastic movement con-
tinues to grow in Importance. The as
signment of new championship to the
West Side Tennis club of New York
city, is a move in the right direction.
The eastern doubles have been
awarded to Longwood. The experience
Of Narragansett for the last two years
has not warranted giving them again
to that place.
A very important change this year is
the alteration of the rules for handicap
ping, so that the one-sixth Of fifteen
system will be used, This is the system
approved by the English players, and
as United States players are now gov
erned by the same rules the ranking of
English and American players may be
compared much better than when the
sixth system was used in England and
