heRulArB Out ana DhFftnBtt Aobobs
With two regular forwards and a
guard out of the game, Barringer
High School proved an easy victim
yesterday, losing out to South Side
High School by a. score OF 20 to IA, in
a Newark High Schools Athletic AS
sociation game played on Barringer
court. BY losing to South Side, Bar
ringer missed an opportunity to bring
the Clinton Killers down to share
of the cellar position Of the league.
Bodenstein, Steadman and Schneid-
er were the Barringer players benched
for being down in scholastic standing,
and Captain Warshawsky and Cohen,
who played forwards, were unable
to consistently locate the basket. The
ball was repeatedly worked within
shooting distance, only to have the
advantage thrown away by a badly
gagged shot. Bodenstein's absence
was felt particularly as only two
points were made on penalty throws
by Barringer.
South Side succeeded in pulling
away from Barringer in the second
half. The score at half-time stood
II to 10 in favor of the Clinton Hill
ers. Barringer played stiff game
for the first few minutes Of the Sec
ond period, but Huntington soon
quashed the Barringer hopes with
shots of the sensational order, which
example King followed.
Huntington was the star of the
game. He scored nine points, one of
which resulted from a free throw.

ENGLAND'S ACT PLEASES
ENGLAND'S ACT PLEASES

Great Britain's challenge for the

tennis trophy, won last year by the
United States team, composed of
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, of California,
national champion; r. Norris Will
Jams, of Philadelphia; Harold H.
F. Johnson, of Philadelphia, was sent
by mail to the United States yester-
day, according to dispatches.
The report of Great Britain's chal-
Ienge for the Davis cup is the first
intimation received by the United
States Lawn Tennis Association that
formal challenges for the interna-
tional trophy are actually in the mail.
entry is fixed for approximately
March ]. Before that date 1t is ex-
pected that challenges will have been
received from Australasia, Canada,
France. Germany and possibly Bel
GUM and South Africa.
The challenges usually follow
shortly after the holding of the an
nual meeting of the national tennis
associations of the various countries.
1t is not obligatory at the time of
filing the challenge to name the play
ers composing the team, nor is there
any penalty in case the country chal-
longing desires later to withdraw
from the competition.
The prompt fling of Great Britain's
challenge Is the cause of much salts
faction to the officers OF the United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. since it is taken to indicate
that the English association will in
all probability compete for the trophy
regardless of the action taken by the
American association relative to the
amendments suggested by the Inter-
national Lawn Tennis Association.

Defenders Cup Trials
Are Still Unsettled

w. Butler Duncan and representa-
tives of the three cup defenders now
building met at the New York Yacht
Club last night. 1t was said that the
meeting was to arrange a racing
schedule for the season. Nearly every
yacht club along the coast wants to
have a race in which the three yachts
will take part. but this is impossible.
The managing owners want to have
as much racing as possible and want
to have that racing over outside
courses.
Just what was discussed is known
only to those present. Nothing was
arranged that can be made public
at present. 1t is certain. though,
that some races will be sailed on the
Sound and several off Newport. The
Atlantic Yacht Club has offered some
cups and has asked the owners to
agree to sail series OF three races
off Sandy Hook for these prizes.

MAY MAKE CHANGE
IN MET FOURSOMES
Propose to Substitute Four.
Ball Matches to Settle
Controversy.
GOSSIP OF THE LINKS

Darwin P. Kingsley, president of
the Metropolitan Golf Association,
has entered into the spirit of the
Lesley Cup team play controversy
and is at present in communication
with the respective heads of the
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania as
sociations, Herbert Jacques and
James NJ. Byers, as to whether this
year the four ball matches should
be substituted for foursomes to meet
the wish of the majority of the play
ers engaged IN the competition.
Recently Leighton Calkins did much
to enlighten the golfing public by
making public the vote on the subject
of a large number of the golfers who,
in recent years, have made up the
metropolitan teams. There was an
overwhelming verdict in favor of the
four ball match. Mr.. Ca,lxins also
pointed out that Pennsylvania was
thoroughly in favor of the Same
method of play. But even so 1t is
very doubtful If four ball matches will
prevail. At the annual meeting and
dinner of the Massachusetts, Golf AS
ISOLATION, Mr.. Jacques stated that
Massachusetts stood for the four
some. and If this is the reply sent to
Mr.. Kingsley, nothing that the metro
politan or Pennsylvania players may
do will change the conditions of play.
Section 13 of the conditions govern
ing the annual competition for the
Lesley Cup in the Metropolitan Year
Book states that these conditions
can only be changed, amended, added
to or altered in any way by the
unanimous sanction of the presidents
Of the three associations acting as
the trustees of the Lesley Cup"
So 1t begins to look as if the Metro.
politan and Pennsylvania golfers will
have to continue with the foursome
