Mclaughlin Says
English Rule is
Not Aimed at Him

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2s.-Mauriee
Il. Mclaughlin. tennis champion of
America. and member of the team
that brought back to this country, last
summer, the Davis international tro-
ply, discredited yesterday published
reports that British tennis authorities
desire to change the rules for future
international play In such a way as to
handicap him and other American play
ers who have similar style
He does not believe that British
players wish to require a player to
touch his foot to the ground after
each service before rushing to the
net.
Such rule would slow down Nc
Loughlin's play materially. for he Is
essentially n net player, and the fore-
most Englishmen are back court play
-rs. Mclaughlin follows smashing
service with a rush to the net.
Such players as Wallace F. Johnson,
of Philadelphia and Parke and Wild
ing, the English cracks, might be in
favor OF the proposed foot fault rule.
Mclaughlin is willing to concede, but
he is confident the support of two
thirds OF the nations In the interna-
tional agreement, necessary to amend
the rules, cannot be obtained.

ADAMS WILL NOT
QUIT ATHLETICS
WORLDS BEST ALL-RoUND JUMPER
MAY RECONSIDER AND EN-
TER 1915 CLASSIC.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-Piatt Adams,
greatest alI-round jumper in the world,
may reconsider his decision, made
last summer. to absent himself from
the olympic games TO be held at Ber-
lin in 1915. In a conversation the
other day Platt owned up TO the fact
that he wants crack at the Olympic
pentathion event before he hangs up
his shoes for good.
There Is no question about Adams
being able to make the team that goes
to Germany. as he is one of those fell"
lows who does little bit in the way
of keeping in condition every week,
and this manner OF athlete is always
effective for years longer than the fell
low who breaks off training completely
for months each year.
The one thing that may keep Adams
away from Berlin is his business. The
New York a. G. team, as he is re
ferred to occasionally. has now settled
down to the money hunt. and TO this
he is going to stick. should Piatt be
able to arrange a vacation that Will
carry him to Berlin in 1915. so much
the better for Adams and the United
states of America. and so much the
worse for the foreign pentathloners.
Adams wanted to compete In the
pentathlon at Stockholm last year in
the worst way, but bad muscle in
his left leg forced the late Mike Muir
ply to keep Plat out OF any event
In which there was sprinting. Adams
WAS too valuable In the standing jumps
to take the chance OF his being hurt in
