Hawaii and Japan, and the third is a
splendid offer by London managers. and
the chances are he will take hold of the
latter. Manager Frank Hall. who is well
known in this city, says that Sullivan and
kilrain will draw like house afire In
London, as they put up fast three-round
bout in which there is considerable science
and plenty of smuggling.

Sullivans favorite pastime is playing
solitaire Nearly all his spare time is
devoted to it. and it is about the only
card game he will play. When on a
railroad train or in tie lobby of his

ADOPTS FOLEY'S PLAN.
Daily Meets Now Carried on at
GEORGETOWN.

Jimmy Mulligan. head coach of the
Blue and Gray track team, yesterday
started doing the stunt originated by
Bill Foley some weeks ago. when he
matched his runners in sprints for about
an hour. Time and again he sent the
candidates down the stretch racing
against each other, and when he let them
go to the rubbing room they We're pretty
well tagged out. Today relay tours will
be pitted against each other, and some
good sport is expected.
There is now some likelihood of Man
ager Corcoran adding another trip to his
schedule. Richmond College is going to
hold meet in the southern city on
Saturday, February q, and as Georgetown
has a large following i'm Richmond the
management of the games is especially
anxious to have them represented. The
only thing against the local school send
ing representatives down to the Virginia
capital is the fact that they have already
filed dates for their allotted number of
trips, and TO accept the latest invitation
it will be necessary to obtain special
permission from the faculty. Whether this
will be granted remains to be seen

DAVIS CUP MATCH
GOES TO ENGLAND

NEW YORK, January 1?.-Lawn tennis
news was flying about yesterday. From
England came the official announcement
that the final matches for the Davis inter-
national cup would be decided on the
courts at Wimbledon, London, instead of
in Australia, this year. There was also
revealed a little joker in the new foot
fault or service rule as the Britons have
passed it. and lastly notification came
that the twenty-eighth annual meeting of
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association would be held in the Waldorf
Astoria February II. This is a full week
later than usual. 1t was explained that
the executive committee must clear up
some details and also possibly await the
arrival of an English delegate to the meet
ing from London.
The fact that the international cup was
to go up for competition at Wimbledon
this year was not a surprise in some quar-
tiers. 1t had previously been limited in the
English associations organ. Before the
playing of the international matches in
Australia, two months ago. it was stated
that another year will witness the matches
either held in this country or in England.
1t now appears that 1t was a piece of lawn
tennis politics, in which the price for
sending a team half way round the world
was TO be the return OF the cup 1or nearer
competition this season.
The ties, preliminary to the cup finals,
are to be decided in this country. SO that
Americans are to be again destined to
have taste of the sport. The details are
to come out at the annual meeting of
the American association next month.
The joker in the foot fault rule. accord
ing to Calhoun Cragin of the West Side
and 18th Regiment clubs, lies in the word

for the server to touch his foot second
time to the ground should one foot lift or
swing clear before starting for the net
The new rule is aimed to check the
growing tendency to beat the service to
the net While a compulsory fiat footed
is what the rule amounts to, but with
for the server to rise upon his toes and
ton of serving, but so guarded as to OBJ
stands the American association is virtual
ly pledged to adopt it.
The late date of the annual meeting this
year is taken as an indication that the
various questions of legislation which the
executive committee has under discussion
will require further time to perfect before
they are placed before the delegates at
the meeting. In the notifications sent out
special stress is laid upon the fact that all
delegates would be required to present
ample credentials in writing and that all
proxies must be duly attested. as the
meeting promises to be the most important
in the history of the game in this coun-
try.

No Open Date.

Dartmouth has been on the Harvard
schedule for several years past. one week
prior to the Yale game, and it is very
likely that the Hanoverians will have the
same date next fall On the Saturday
before the Crimson plays Dartmouth the
Carlisle Indians have been scheduled, and
one week earlier is the date usually given
to Brown. All of these games are i'm
pOrtant factors on the Harvard schedule
and in a certain sense fixtures. Inability
or Discrimination to drop one or more of
these teams this year is considered here
to be the primary reason for Capt. Fish
deciding to notify the Princeton authori-
ties that a game this year would be an
impossibility.
Princeton and Harvard have met on the
gridron periodically since 1888, although
only eight games have been played be-
tween the two universities, the last being
in Cambridge in 1885, OF these games
Harvard has only won one, that played in
1887 which the Crimson took by score
of II to 0. The longest period that the
two universities ever met on the gridiron
was from 1886 to 1889, inclusive-four
years.
Every year since the last contest in
less authoritative source that gridiron
relations would be resumed, but not until
within a month ago did anything tangible
result from these announcements. In
sending regrets of an inability to ar
range a game with Princeton this year it
is more than likely that Harvard has as
sured the Orange and Black authorities
that place will be reserved for the
Tigers in 1910
