LAWN TENNIS FIGHT
Campaign Launched Against
the Courts at Newport.
DEMAND CHANGE OF SCENE
Behr and Mahan Head Crusade for
Better Handling Of Ma
tional Tourney.
DEMAND CHANGE OF SCENE

NEW YORK, January 20.-Concerted &C
ton toward the playing of the national
lawn tennis championship tournament at
some other place than the Casino courts
at Newport. r. l., has at last taken
form. Karl II. Behr. the international
player, and Lyle e. Mahan. former inter-
collegiate champion and Columbia Uni
versity captain, are the leaders of the
movement, which unquestionably will en-
broil the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association in the most heated
controversy of its existence. From the
plans revealed yesterday by those who
are to have charge of the campaign
against Newport all chances of holding
the meeting there this year are doomed.
Karl Behr and Lyle Mahan favor the
Germantown Cricket Club. at Mannheim,
near Philadelphia, as the best place to
decide the important meeting. In the
estimation OF both. the bad management
OF the tournament at Newport has done
more to injure the sport than anything
else, and. according to Mr.. Mahan, 1t Is
time that the national championship took
on the dignity Of sporting competition
whilom society function.
Coupled with the movement to take the
tournament away from Newport, where
1t has been held for thirty years it also
is the plan to hold the tournament abou,
the middle Of September. I'm place OF
august, as at the present time, and also
TO DO away with what many consider an
| unfair challenge match for the title.

officials Won't Serve.

The difficulty Of obtaining officials. which
has been the joke of the championship
at Newport, also can be overcome at
Philadelphia. The Germantown Cricket
Club has over 600 playing members, in
addition to several times that number
who do not. The Casino Club has about
fifty, and that select few rarely exert
themselves to officiate over match.
AT this time ] am not at Liberty to
name all of those who have joined in the
insurgency. but the list is a big one and
includes others who have played on inter-
national teams for the Davis cup, lead
ing champions and workers for the game.
We expect to receive support from some
of the western players, among whom DIR.
P. B. Hawk is a leader. We believe that
it is time that the lawn tennis map be
changed If we can secure proxies enough
before Friday, February =, we propose
to change it,
players certainly shows that the senti-
ment Is against Newport by a big ma
jority. 1t has often been asked in the
last season or two: If the championship
is taken away from Newport, where can
1t be played with SO good a field of turf ?
We have answered that question. The an
swer is found in the perfect courts at
Mannheim. whereOn the international
match against the British Isles team of
two years ago was decided. There are
more courts and every detail is far SUI
perior to Newport.
IF the lawn tennis players have the
courage OF their convictions the cham
pionship of the coming season will be
held there. The passing of Newport is
at hand. and the naturalization of the
sport is about to be ushered in, for 1t has
been too long delayed"
Those familiar with the situation said
last night that it needed only concerted
action on the part Of prominent players to
toll the knell OF Newport as the place for
holding the national tournament The
feeling against the social capital of the
country has been gaining because of the
fact that competitors from distant cities
visiting the tournament for the first time
found. to their surprise. that the less i'm
portant meetings in their own districts
were conducted with better observance
of rule. There is no doubt that the out
come will be watched with interest
throughout this country and England.

System Play.

In this connection it was pointed out
that Behr and Mahan are both members
OF the West Side Tennis Club, which :
eral years ago changed the method of
deciding the metropolitan championship,
and placed 1t upon the playing-throug
system.
In outlining the plans by which it is
hoped to work the desired change Mr.
Mahan stated that the campaign would
be a vigorous one. THE game has out
grown the dawdlinE methods pursued at
Newport" he declared. With all of the
digs and harsh criticism that nave been
flung at the handling Of the tournament
ON the Casino courts there has been lit
tie or no Improvement. Besides, New
port is most inaccessible to the country
in general, with the exception of Boston
1t fails to represent the sport nationally
In its truest sense.
philadelphia, on the other hand, is
within eighteen hours OF Chicago, and
that means nearer the west, from which
our most interesting players are coming
at the present time. 1t is easily ac-
cessibie from Cleveland. Pittsburs, Gin
cinnati. Baltimore and Washington and
the south, where lawn tennis is showing
central and directly reached as is this
city.
The Casino at Newport has not the
space necessary for holding the tourna-
ment, as it is increasing at present.
Twelve courts. which is approximately
the number available there are not suf-
ficient when the entry mounts to Isl
players, as 1t did last August. Sleeping
and eating accommodations are more
easily had in Philadelphia at any price
the competitor wishes to pay. 1t is not
SO at Newport
