VICTORY FOR ENGLISH
COURT TENNIS PLAYER

NEW YORK. April Two quick
matches won in straight sets marked the
opening of the national court tennis
championship on the courts of the New
York Racquet and Tennis Club yesterday
afternoon. Eustace II. Miles Of London,
former title-holder. defeated Pierre Lor-
rilard of Tuxedo. 81. 6-3, 81. while
r. A. Havemeyer disposed of that all
round sportsman, Foxhall Keene. GO
6-3 l3. Jay Gould the worlds amateur
champion refereed both matches.
Although Miles was expected to win
without difficulty, his play attracted
general attention from amateurs and
professionals alike. who watched his every
stroke with critical eyes in an endeavor
TO compare him with Gould. 1t did not
seem as if the Briton was showing any
thing like his best form. though this may
have been partly due to the fact that
Lorillards game did not require it.
What pleased the onlockers most were
the returns that Miles made along the
main wall They were delivered with a
puzzling cut. which caused the ball to
die away in the main wall corner in a
manner that completely baffled his young
opponent. Service has never been re-
garded as the strong point of Miles, yet
it won for him many a point yesterday
and 1t improved as the match pro-
crossed

From then on. however. Miles was invin-

Miles began the second set by winning

the games stood all. Miles followed by

A SENSIBLE PLAN.

IT Is to- be hoped that when the con-
ference Of the Big Six is held in Sc
attic next week the proposed plan for
a board Of governors to determine all
disputes as to eligibility Of players will
be adopted.
The present method Of having the
faculty Of each college act as the sole
judgr ~ the eligibility of its own play
ers, is bound to produce friction, and
To expect these faculties to be abso-
lutely fair and impartial. in the face
Of the suspicion that some other fac
ulty j. not 50 fair OF impartial, Is
straining human nature TO the break
ing point.
With a central board having juris-
diction over every player in the con-
ference colleges, long step will be
taken in the direction Of perfectly clean
