EXPENSES ARE TOO HIGH

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug 30.-The-e is a
movement on foot TO take the national
lawn tennis championship away from
the famous Casino courts here This
fact was made known today, but there
was Il disposition 10 keep the matter
secret
The tournament has been held here for
twenty-five years, where the sport has
developed under the patronage of the
fashionable element OF Newport
II is reported that William A Larned,
the veteran champion, is the player who
favors a change of scene for the ma
tional meeting. Larned has named a
number of places rs suited for the tour
nament that carries the honors of the
country at the sport. among them being
the Meadow Club OF Southampton,
Longwood Cricket Club. Boston, and
Philadelphia
Larned's Opinion
As Larned is a member OF the execu-
tive committe OF the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association. his
word in this matter is supposed to have
some weight. The other members OF the
committee are Dwight F. Davis. NAL
colin d. Whitman, William J. Clothier,
Kreigh Collins. Raymond D. Little, and
HoIcombe Ward.
Part Of Larned's argument against the
playing of the meeting here is that the
living Is too expensive for many play
ers. and that this feature had probably
much to do with keeping down the entry
list which Notwithstanding this year had
for the first time topped the hundred
mark. IL is believed that the agitation
only indicates that changes are coming
In radical ways in the government OF
the national association and the sport.

Frank B. Greer, champion amateur
senior single sculler of America, is TO
be made the subject of an investigation
by some rowing authorities, and the re-
suit of the inquiry into his amateur
standing IS to be presented to the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oars
men for official action.
That the ruling body has waited foI
individual action in Greer's case is sur
prising- The Boston man. posing as q
simon pure amateur, has violated al
least one of the chief rules of amateur
ism and has committed the offense sc
braZenly as to prevent the possibility
OF a whitewash by his friends. Greer
holds the championship for 1905-l9O6
having won ii at Baltimore. and it is
in connection with the preparation foI
this race that he is accused of having

One of the charges to be made against
Greer Is that he has violated Article III
OF the National Association constitution
which, among other things, defines an
amateur as:
lone who rows for pleasure or recrea-
tion only, and during his leisure hours !;
who does not abandon or neglect his
usual business or occupation for the

Those who are after Greer's amateur
scalp propose to prove that for eight

Why an American pioneer, or rather, 60, ,OOO American pioneers, should be de- prived of the elementary rights which are freely accorded the latest arrival from the slums of a European capital, in many states within six months after he arrives in this country, is something which no one has attempted to explain or to justify by argument. Congress simply refuses these American citizens their elementary rights and makes no excuse nor explanation therefor.
 "Anti-imperialists still raise their voices in wailing over the lost liberties of Filipinos who pever knew what lio' erty was or how to use it.
