One on Duffy Lewis.

They tell a good story in Washington
on Duffy Lewis, the Boston Red Sox left
fielder. Here's the yarn:
During one of the trips of the Boston
club TO the Capital last summer Lewis
broke his pet bat, and after visiting all
Of the local sporting goods stores, finally
selected two bats and ordered them sent
out TO the bali park Just as the clerk
started to wrap up the implements OF
war Lewis caught sight of the stencil
marks on one of the clubs, which read.

Here" he cried to the clerk. '1et me
look at the other stick" The clerk
handed it over. and Lewis read, "Ty
Cobb Model
Rub that stuff off before these bats
go TO the park. / never would have any
luck with them, and, besides, the fell
lows would kid me to DEATH" he ad-
monished the clerk in pleading tones.
After Lewis had left the store. the
Eentlemanly clerk smiled to himself, and
turning to a little group of fans who
were in the store at the time and who
had heard the foregoing conversation,
said:
Look at this bunch of bats over in
the corner of the case. Lewis tried sew
eral of them and said they were no

The bats in question were neatly

the Objectionable clause. which was
the crux Of the whole structure. tum
bled together. This clause. which was
stricken from the amateur definition,
read as follows:
"IIas never accepted from
any hotel, club or similar organization
at which or in connection with which
a tennis tournament is being held,
transportation on money for transpor
tation or board, lodging or other gen
eral living accommodations or money
to cover any or all Of the same. or
any secret or exceptional reduced rate
in connection with such tournament.
The Interpretation Of this rule she'll
not prevent a player from taking adj
vantage of a reasonable special rate
from such hotel, club or similar organ
ization if such special rate is properly
announced and is open to any one en-
tering the tennis tournament
Two remarkably strong points deyei-
oped in favor of such a clause as the
above being Incorporated in the Ameri-
can rules. England has recently enact
ed such a law. and the International
federation, which meets in Paris next
mouth, contemplates similar action In
its efforts TO ~standardize all of the laws
and rules for all nations.
Henry w. Slocum. the chairman of
the revision committee, struck a true
note when he stated that an American
amateur might find himself debarfed
from foreign tournaments because of
the laxity of the American rule in this
respect, and after the meeting it was
remarked that a question of this char.
acter had once been Automatically in
simulated by England rs TO a player or
the United States Davis cup team, who.
possibly because of this. did not take
part in the matches.
The one thing that impressed those
who attended the thirty-second annual
fact that the voting of proxies no long
err falls into the hands OF one or two
prominent officials. 1t was much split
up. the western and southern clubs
standing fairly well together in voting
upon most matters. with a sprinkling
Of the smaller eastern clubs giving
them the balance Of power.
On several occasions the line OF de-
narration appeared almost factional,
the west voting against the old guard
of the east. 1t is likely that this pc
culiar feature will rather increase than
diminish, as the clubs throughout the
country are becoming interested and
educated III the government Of the
game.
In connection with the awarding Of
the national all Corners championship
to Newport again Bob Wrenn revealed
the fact that the governors of the ca
sino are aware that the tournament
must be given a splendid setting in. or
der to continue 1t there. The grounds
have been scientifically surveyed. so
that a greater number Of courts will
be available next August.

Lawn tennis players who are wise

ties during the coming season and play
III the tournaments where t~ransporta-
ton and free board are offered, wheth-
err 1t be by Il club or n hotel. 1t is
likely to be the last year for this sort
of petty graft. Under the amateur def

BY a strange freak of legislation the
delegates voted a new constitution and
bylaws to supersede the old, which
practically were Identical with the laws

directed for more than twenty years
with one unimportant exception. The
great opportunity of enacting effective
laws to govern the game, which is be-
coming more widespread every year
and attracting the youth of the coun-
try, was completely lost in the mists
OF argumental fog and uncertain verb
iage.
The clause in the section defining an
amateur which would have prevented
the stigma of accepting valuable gratu-
tiles If not money would surely have
been passed had slight changes been
made in its wording which would have
made it as effective in operation. 1t
appeared that the majority of the dele
gates were in favor of legislation of
this sort.
But they split on the question of legit-
innate clubs entertaining players, Karl
Behr was quick to see this and endeav-
ored to have the Objectionable features
amended. Lyle f. Mahan and other
members of the revision committee
were given time to submit a change.

There is hardly a doubt about Chance

Hal Chase's ability to plav second

league. Time only can tell whether
Chase can play the bag or not.
There have been few left handed in

for this reason there are those who
