Compilations.

New York, Dec. 24.-Edwin F. Tor rey, secretary of the United States Lawn Tennis association, announced today that the date for the annual meeting of the association had been set for this city Friday, Feb. 5, beginning at 3 D. m.
 The official announcement was also made that Robert D. Wrenn, president of the association, has reeonsidered his determination to retire from office. He has yielded to the pressure of the ex- ecutive committee to accept another term, it was stated, because it was considered that his wide experience will be needed during the coming year on account of international com plications. As there is no opposition 10 Wrenns it is declared that his ac- ceptance of the nomination foreshad- oWs his election
 The faction opposed to Newport as the place of holding the national championship tournament expressed the opinion that the nomination and election of Wrenn, who is favorable to Newport. would mean the continuance of the tournament at the Casino for another year at least.

ROWLAND, SECOND MceRAw
White sox HaNe Fighter in Their
 New Leader.

President Comiskey has landed a second McGraw to lead his White Sox. if those who have known Clarence Rowland all his life know whereof they speak.
 Tn all his miner league experience the new Sox leader has been noted for the "pep," ginger and fight he has instilled into the players under his command. His never-say-die spirit long ago won him the title of the Rowland believes he can succeed in the big circuit with the same methods that won him fame in less distinguish ed company.
 Rowland's leap into the limelight came so suddenly he is still somewhat loath to discuss the responsibilities that will soon be his. About the prospects of the White Sox for the next season he would talk only in most general manner.
 Rowland insists that until he has ample time to go over the situation with Comiskey he should not be asked to go into detail regarding his plans From his conversation, however, 1t IS evident he is familiar with the condi- tions he will face and that he already has formed his first plans for battle. Its lot too early to start talking of next season." said the new man. ager. There will be some new faces on the Sox team of course. But where the changes will be cannot say now. I have been watching the Sox for years and I think have a pretty fair idea of the material we will have" and you know Con1iskey promised the Sox fans after he got Eddie Collins that there would be two other bright stars wearing his uniforms next year. Con- my always keeps his word, so until his plans develop we will have to speculate a bit on the probable make up of our team.
 .I never offer prophecies regarding what the future may hold for ball club of mine other than that we will let the winner know he has been in a battle.
 Chicago fans can be sure that every time they come out to see us play they will see US fighting to the limit for that particular. game. My theory is that the only way to win in baseball

Though the Russians are the domin- ant race in the Caucasus, the aristo- crats of the very mixed population of that region are the Georgians. A people of mysterious antecedents- their face, acording to some ethnolo- gists, being older even than the Egyp- tians-they stand upon a higher. plane of civilization and culture than any of their neighboFS. Formerly Georgit was an independent kingdom, and its people, converted to Christianity in the fourth century, have never re- lepsed into the Mohammedanism of the surrounding tribes.
 Their golden age was the twelfth century. in the days of the great Queen Thamara. Now there are no more kings in Georgia, but an amazing number of princes. It is a Russian joke that every Georgian, whatever his occupation, boasts a title. It might be added. with more truth. that every Georgian is a poet-Pall Mall Gazette.

EXPLAINS WHY VALE MEN
 WERE LEFT OFF ELEVEN
Walter Camp Says TaIbett Would Undoubtedly Have Made AiI-Amer- jean Again but for Injury.


 Walter Camp has written an ex- planation on why he put no Yale play CT on his team for 1914. Mir. Camp says:
 Talbott's misfortune that sent him to the infirmary with an injured bone in his leg and kept him there two weeks put him out of the running He showed the same brains and skill that stamped him All-Amerfcan tackle last year, but the physical strength was lacking.
 Brann. too, had been on the in- valid list all through three-quarters of the season.
 He was a remarkable receiver of forward passes and very clever in his play, but O'Hearn was too strong for him on the defense; for O'Hearn was never fooled bv double passes. but against end runs and kick formation his powerful physique very like that of Fitzpatrick or Bomeisler, made 1t impossible for the interference to put him out of the play.
 No one was the equal of LeGore at the execution of the forward pass, and have never seen a man who could throw such a fast or accurate ball. yet such an easy one to handle.
 Nor was LeGore behind Malan or Ghee in running back kicks or in his own running for position. But Ma hans runs from short kick formation were the strongest or me season. nlS bunting exceptional for accurate plac- ing and his drop kicking effective.
 His forward passing was not so spectacular as LeGore's. but it accom- plished the purpose always.
 Ghee and Barrett were both more natural quarters than Wilson. The 1atter's defense behind the line is very strong, but the team already has Bradlee. who is unsurpassed at that work
 Wilson just lacked the burst of speed necessary to circle his tackle in quarterback runs, play which Gbae,s YacA epai1ied him fo sy1ef clear.
