rules defining amateurs are the most I'M
portant matters to be considered at the
thirty second annual meeting of the
United States National Lawn Tennis as
ISOLATION here tomorrow. Opposition has
developed to some of the proposed amend
ments on the ground that they are toe
drastic and hostile to the development OF
the game. The association will choose Of
ficers for the ensuing year. award the
national championships for 1913 and act
upon the reports of the ranking commit
tee and of the special committee on inter-
national competition authorized at the last
annual meeting. One of the proposed
rules which promises to cause the most
discussion would bar amateurs from ac-
cepting money transportation, board or
lodging from any hotel, club or similar or
ganization in connection with which q
tennis tournament is being held; another
would regulate the connection of anna
teurs with the sale of tennis goods.
