Mistake About English Associations Treat-
mcnt OF BeaIs &. Wright.

Word has rome from across the Atlantic
that the English Lawn Tennis Association
did not refuse Beals G.. Wright a membership
of its council. as was published. IL appears
now that Nright's name was never presented
TO the meeting. but there was "A discussion
on trade interest in the sport, and when 1t
was learned that Wrlght's father was en-
gagged in implement making his prospective
proposer made no EFFORT to nominate him.
The case had not the least bearing on Nright's
status a. an amateur, and EnClishmen are at
a loss to understand the hubbub mat has
been caused here over what they think a
trivial matter. In view Of the announce
ment, SAYS the FiCid, that the United States
Lawn Tennis Association is about 10 %investi-
gate Wrlght's status II Is well to relate what
When tho time came for e%lectinE six rep
resentatiyes OF coionia' and foreign assocla-
tions and clubs a. additional members OF the
council. under rule 20 OF the rules OF the as
sociation. the name Of Mr.. Beals wright
was proposed as one OF such six representa-
tiVes by A member Of the council, where
upon another gentleman rose and said that
as a good deal OF discussion. had taken place
and as the meeting had apparent ~ decided
that persons engaged IN the trade OF lawn
tennis implement making should not be
advisable to ask whether Mr.. Wright was
not IN fact engaged in or connected with
such trade. Another member Of the council
then said that according TO the best OF his
knowledge Mr.. Wright as the son OF a MEM
ber Of a leading firm Of lawn tennis imple-
ment makers in America, but that az far as
he was aware Mr.. Wright was not himself
in the business. Mr., WriHht's propOser
thereupon said that he had not anticipated
any objection OF this kind when he put Mr.
WTight's name forward, that he himself had
no Information upon the matter and that he
thought II undesirable that any question as
TO Mr.. Mright's eligibility should be raised.
especially ~ that late stage of the meeting
Ut had already lasted for more than four
hours lie accordingly thought II best, in
the circumstances, TO Withdraw MT. Wright's
name.
III will therefore he seen that Mr.. Nrioht's
name was never submitted to the meeting a.
that of a candidate for one of the six foreign
and colonial vacancies and that the meeting
consequently did not refuse TO elect him.
