NEW YORK, May 4.-Recent discussian
of the amateur standing OF some OF the well
known lawn tennis players Is s,ich a turn
try has brought affairs TO such turn
that the executive committee Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis associ-
alton has prepared a most unusual plan for
this seson. II is going to result in some
unpleasantness, tennis men say. unless the
operations are kept very secret. The
scheme is that the United States National
Lawn Tennis association IL TO send 10 per
sons who are In charge Of tournaments
listed by It notifications that they should
scan their entry lists carefully ana that
certain players must not be permitted 10
play, In the case that one OF these men
sends I'm an entry II Is TO be returned to
him.
That this is going 20 cause some trouble
among lawn tennis players may easily be
expected. few men in the game have
been very careless about their amateur
standing II Investigation shows that they
come within the professional rule. thew viii
be barred from amateur tournaments here
after. There will be no going behind the
returns. for the executive COMMITTEES in the.
first instance win furnish the prohibition
against the player. This VIII ailsot mostly

Record OF Chnmpaonnhip.

S. w. Merrihew in American Lawn Tennis
has prepared a table to show how chal-
lengers and holders have Jared since 1884
In the national championships. on FIVE oc-
casions there was no challenge round. for
one cause OF another. OF the remaining
eighteen years the challenger won six times.
One of these, 1t will be remembered. was
last year. when Clothier defeated Beals G.
Wright after the latter had been suffering
for some time from blood poisoning. It
may be said that 1t was recognized in ad-
vance that the challenger, whoever he
might be. would almost certainly defeat
Wright, who was away of his form.

Wood Burners In Paris,


 Despite all modern improvements. Paris still heats it's offices and its houses to I large extent with wood. It's bakers and confactioners use hard. ly anything else for fuel. IL burns up whole forests of timber every year, and extensive forests in several re- gions of France are reserved for sup plying 1t with fuel Coal is scarce in France and dear and not of very good quality. Besides. the Parisians are con- servative in home matters. The cheery appearance of the glowing log on the hearth appeals to them, and most like y genera tons will pass before they give up burning wood altogether Philadelphia North American
