THERE is no use attempting to deny the
TACT that the new Board of Freeholders
has disappointed a number of the people
OF this county by their action yesterday In
neglecting to elect q county supervisor
Of Dads. Any number of excuses have
been given for this action. and the mem
pers OF the new Board have given out the
impression that they are able to attend to
the duties Of supervisor themselves. There
are those, however, who think there is
something else back of this movement.
Within the next three months there is
hope on the part of the friends of the man
against whom the county has spoken In
no uncertain terms. that there will be
legislation whereby this fellow may be re-
tanned in Office despite the protest of the
taxpayers The law governing the Office
OF supervisor of roads is very plain. 1t
says that after the first county road shall
have been constructed In this county it
shaH Be the duty of the Board Of Chosen
freeholders to appoint some suitable
person as county supervisor of roads and
= qualified civil engineer as county
engineer. One of the new members said
yesterday morning that, as long as there
was not a penalty attached to the neglect
to appoint the officers, the law was of no
account. That is a very lame excuse.
The men who now form the Board of
Freeholders haYe made loud assertion of
their intention of doing their duty INT
looking after the interests of the people,
and the law above quoted says 1t shall "be
their duty to appoint a supervisor and an
engineer" There is hardly a matter that
comes under the Board of Freeholders
that Is not governed by a law which says
shall but does not carry a penalty. The
law says that a budget shall be made up.
but there Is no penalty attached to not
obeying the statute, and so on In nearly
every instance. 1t also says "they shall
elect from their own number a Director
No penalty clause here. Howard Russ.
elected director, was the man who men
Wed the mo penalty" clause. What a
howl he would haYe put up If he had not
cen elected. The members of the
kard Of F~reeholders have taken a solemn
to do their duty and one of those
Pc is to appoint officials as specified in
"a statutes. Just as well might they
hal 1refused to appoint a solicitor, posi-
bly, better. but that was not to their liking.
They put that Office out on bids with the
evident idea of getting cheap service and
they will probably get what they seek
IL may be remembered that the old Board
Fefused TO pay n attention to this same
aw until Judge Gaskill threatened to bring
3egal proceedings to compel them to do
heir duty and make the appointment Of
fapervisor. 1t ought not to be necessary for
pY harsh measures In this case. 1t is
sinly q duty and there should not be
by Sinking of 1t and thereby making
possible just what the people have decided
must not be done. There are many people /
who have predicted that the new Board
would not be any better than the outgoing
body. It is to be hoped the contrary will
be proved, but there will have to be diff
ferent action from that of yesterday to
seeure that result.

CLUB MAY HELP PLAYER
However, No Contestant May
Negotiate for Expenses with
an Organization.

Because OF the wrong impression as 20
the operation of the newly proposed rule
defining the status of an amateur lawn
, tennis player together with the viola
tioEs which might jeopardize his position.
the committee on tie revision of the con-
stitution and rules OF the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association issued
a statement yesterday. in hich the OPP
GRAFTON OF the amateur rule and its APP
plication are fully explained
The letter. which was sent to every clGO
and prominent player throughout the
country, agrees I'm every particular with
the views expressed in The Tribune last
Monday.
II was pointed out exclusively in Com
meat on Sports" that the paragraph re-
lating TO the acceptance and Offering Of
expenses TO A player By club or asSo-
Ciation could not possibly be construed
as preventing the Meadow Club at South
ampton. Long Island. from entertaining
competitors in It's annual tournament OF

staudstil by the ever increasing HOOD OF
Inquiries. Furthermore, the misinterpre'
tation of the rule was found to be so gen.
eral that at a meeting neld earlier thls
week it was decided to issue an open e&-
planatory letter.
The committee defends the proposed
rule in its entirety. 1t takes especiai eA-
ception. however. to the recent editoiial
criticism in American Lawn Tennis, tue
official publication Of the national assoc
cia,ion. that with such rule In force
we would send no Davis cup teams any
where, nor have any California invasion
each year.
The committee says that it fears false
impression has been created b. TINS state
ment Ii asserts that the rule would not
prevent the national association sending
a team abroad and paying its expenses
as has heretofore been the custom, nor
the California or any other association
paving the expenses of teams and players
sent East. or. for that matter, anywhere
else. The rule does not prohibit a player
from accepting expenses OF the equiNa-
lent.
..The important difference bet0 cen these
two operations." the letter continues, -

ISOLATION. at a financial sa rihce' sehos

uetition i'm order 10 bling honor upon inc
club or association. In the other, player
is negotiating for expenses with an or
ganizatlon which pays these expenses as
n business transaction, spending what
ever the amount may be in expectation
that the players presence will bring tnem
a return OH the investment either IN gate
receipts or in increased popularity ana
patronage
II Is the contention Of lhe committee
that the proposed rule is neither drasuc
nor revolutionary in its working ana IN
tent of application. That it was framed
u correct the abuses which have become
prevalent In the summer ard winter re-
sort tournaments. The committee eiu-
phatically stands by the rule as IL mas
been framed and states that II pehe'es
tina. Il should be established as portion
Of the lawn tennis laws az the coming
meeting.

ORIENTAL ATHLETES MEET
China, Japan and Siam Repre-.

Manila. Jan. U.-Athletes from China
and Japan and other Oriental nations,
gathering here for the Far Eastern Olyn-
piad. were welcomed to-day by Governor
General William Cameron Forbes. There
are thirty-six Chinese and fifteen Jap
anese athletes entered. as well as repre-
sentatives OF Siam and many sections OF
the Philippine Islands. The games begin
tomorrow and continue for a week.
The programme includes interscholastlc
games for the Islands only. and the an
nual Far Eastern championships. open to
every athletic resident in the Orient. 1t is
hoped that the contests will bring out ma
terial for the next big games I'm Berlin.
Although the Oriental territory has a
population OF nearly Goo00o.0oc. it's athletic
organization has never been developed
along Western lines. and II has never
produced an athlete who won place In a
world Olympiad.
