as to the ultimate outcome of the SERIES
I'm which this nation failed to score
single victory.
1t was pointed out yesterday by friends
Of Larned that he had suffered from rheu-
matism ever since his campaign with the
Rough Riders in Cuba during the Spanish
American War. in 1898. 1t was that year
that Malcolm ID. Whitman came through
TO the championship, as Bob Wrenn was
also with the Rough Riders and did not
defend his title The next two years Lar
ned played only little. 1t was said yes
terday that ii was because Of his being
crippled from rheumatism tnat he was not
given a place on the first American inter
national cup team IN 1900, the year It was
first offered. Whitman. Holcombe Ward
and Dwight r. Davis at that time de-
Tended the trophy.
During last season rumors as TO Lar
ned's physical condition were circulated
several times but were as often denied.
Those who watched the veteran champion
on the courts. however expressed the
opinion that he was not showing his usual
fire and that his game lacked the oldtime
dash and sting. After the international
ties against the British Isles on the West
Side courts Larned admitted that he had

GRAVESEND BACKS OUT JOHNSON GETTING EVEN
Gives Up Grand Circuit Racing
Dates Assigned in August.

BY action OF the Brooklyn Jockey Club
yesterday. this city will not get the Grand
Circuit trotting meeting that was prom
ised this summer When the stewards Of
the Grand Circuit met here recently New
York was allotted the dates OF August 10 TO
a. the meeting to he held on the Grave
send track OF tho Brooklyn Jockey club,
which was 10 be transformed into a track
for Hight harness racing
II was stipulated however that, should
there be any hitch in tho arrangements for
meeting at Gravescnd, the New York
dates should be transferred TO Rockingham
Park, Salem, y. H.
The stewards Of the Grand Circuit were
notified yesterday by the Brooklyn Jockey
Club that it withdrew its application for
the August dates named. The reason stated
was that the so-called directors liability
law making owners OF tracks personally
responsible for any gambling that might be
conducted on their premises would apply
with equal force TO trottng meeting as
10 a running race meet and that, upon con-
sderaton. 1t had been deemed advisable
TO abandon. the plan for entertaining the
lovers of trotting and pacing AT Gravesend.
Accordingly the Salem track will get the
August dates.
There has been a complete cessation OF
racing on tracks in the metropolitan circuit
since the directors liability law became ef-
fcctve on September !. 1910.

these clubs to be brought up with a short
rein"

ington, Roanoke. Rutland and Oak Hill.
II also includes the golf clubs at Fall

while Bedell assumed the defensive for
the most part and depended on counter
attack to win. Inside Murphy had the
better or it. and at close, range landed
almost two blows for one.
The boys tore into a clinch right at the
start and Murphy tried his right uppercut,
but Bedel smothered the leads. The latter
jabbed his left to the face and hooked
left to the stomach. After the break Muir
ply opened a deep cut over BedelPs left eye

Bedell came up for the second round In

with both hands, and soon had him weak.

short shift of his opponent, but at intervals
Bedell cut loose and fought like a wildcat.
In one OF his rallies he left himself open,
and throwing all his power into the punch,
Murphy landed right on the body. Bedell
went back pace, and as he started a left
for the head, Murphy beat him to the punch
with a right to the jaw Bedelrs knees
sagged and he lurched into a clinch.
Like tornado Murphy went at him with
both hands, but although he landed hard
and often, Bedell stayed on his feet, trying
his best to fight back. =.
Perfect condition and courage kept Bedell
on his feet in the fourth round Murphy
sailed into him and beat him from pillar 10

WANTS NEW VOTING PLAN
West Side Tennis Club to Ask for
Changes at Meeting.

TWO important propositions are 10 be
submitted by the West Side Tennis Club
at the annual meeting Of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association on Feb
ruary at the Waldorf-AstOria. According
TO Lyle f.. Mahan. an officer of the club. it
is the intention OF tha organization to place
itself on record as favoring a per capita
representation by delegates at the national
meeting.
The club will ask for an amendment TO
the constitution. which under the circum-
stances cannot be made for another year,
so that the larger and stronger clubs will
be properly represented in the voting. The
plan is one which Calhoun Cragin, the
captain OF the West Side club, brought be-
fore the association three years ago It
provides for one vote for each hundred
members, and that no club, such as the
New York Athletic Club, Crescent Athletic
Club, Germantown Cricket Club or other
large organizations may have more than
five votes
II is also the intention Of the club to
stand for the appointment of a committee
to arrange plan whereby the entry list
for the all comers' national championship
may be limited. Not more than fifty COM
petitors are considered as desirable
number. In order to pass upon the quail
fications OF the players entering, the list is
10 be closed one month before the begin
ming OF the tournament. The playing
through Of the champion will also be
favored.
The campaign to take the tournament
away from Newport is being quietly car
ried along. The movement started to take
the tournament to Narragansett Pier Is
regarded as destined 10 fail. as the Pier
offers no better facilities than Newport.
Those who have sounded the sentiment of
the players declare that It needs only a
prominent club to come forward and ap-
ply for the championship to make Its re-
moval from Newport q certainty.
