 Tt has generally been conceded by those in close touch with athletics that much greater care is taken in and about the metropolitan district in regard to the genuineness of track and field performances than elsewhere in the United States, with the pro- viso that a similar state of affairs exists where certain Of these local officials assist in the mana cement of sports no matter what the section of the country.

and doubles champ;onships be played at Newport as usual.
 Several weeks ago 1t was thought that the Germantown Cricket club. Of Philadelphia, would make a bid for the dates, but it was learned that the Philadelphians were not overanxious to get the nationals this year. The h. ternafional matches of 1909 were played on these courts. Extensive Improvements are to be made on the Philadelphia clubs courts this sum mer. and these would not be ready for the nationals even though its bid had been successful.
 The most important action taken was q decision to require the cham pion of the singles, which title Will liam Larned has held for several years, to compete in the finals for the championship. Heretofore the champion has not been obliged 10 compete until the challenger had worked out of the tournament.
 In the election of officers, Robert D. Wrenn, the vice president, was moved up to the presidency upon the retire ment of Dr. James Dwight, who had held the place for many years. Secre- tary A. L. Hoskins was reelected. as was also Treasurer Richard Stevens.
 The old order Of national ranking. which gave the individual standing to competitors in the national events, was declared obsolete, and new ranking was introduced. Individuals in the first 20 will be rated numeric- ally and after that the competitors will be ranked in nine classes accord ing to their standing. It was voted to appoint a committee to draw up a new constitution to present at the next annual meeting.
 Some of the more important events awarded were: The clay court cham pionships to the Pittsburg Athletic as. sociation: National ladies champion ships and mixed championships 10 the Philadelphia Cricket club; Eastern championships to the Longwood Cricket club: Eastern championships to the Dongwood Cricket club. of Bos- ton; Southern championships to the Atlanta (Ga.)

Washington.-The democratic house

The bill revising the iron and steel
schedule, which. was prepared by a
subcommittee Of the ways and means
committee, was taken up by the full
democratic membership of the ways
and means committee and approved
after some slight changes had been
made In its provisions. The bill will
be submitted to a democratic house
caucus this week, and will no doubt
be indorsed by that body. It is ex-
