EIGHTY NEW TENNIS CLUBS
HAVE JOINED ASSOCIATION

New York, Dec. edwin F. Torrey,
secretary of the United tSates National
Lawn Tennis association, announced to-
day that so new clubs, having Is, GOO
players and more than 1000 courts,
have enrolled in the organization since
March. This is a gain of more than so
percent and is regarded as phenomenal.
The most important of the newly
elected members are the Seattle Ath-
letic club, of Seattle, Wash, and the
Country club of BirminghOm, Ala The
former has 1000 tennis playing mem
bers and a large field of dirt courts.
The fact that the national champion
ship and Davis cup matches are de-
cided on grass has resulted in many
of the clubs attempting TO develop
turf playing surfaces" said Torrey.
The Country club of Birmingham, Ala,
has just laid down six turf courts at an
expense Of $4,000. The demand for
high class professional coaches from
all sections of the country makes it
evident that in a few years there will
be titanic battle for all corners title.

erful W & J. eleven. Pittsburg scored
victories over Penn. State, which held
Harvard to a tie, over Cornell, Navy
and Carlisle, as well as over some of
the minor college teams.
Cornell suffered two defeats this sea

didn't get under way until after Col

After that defeat, Cornell rushed along
like a mill stream and amassed a rec

Yale Ranks Seventh.
Yale is given seventh place. The Blue
machine got two bumps during the 1914
season, and came close to being beaten
on at least one other occasion.
Princeton gets eighth place The IL
ger eleven was beaten twice. 1t scored
only one real victory during the sea-
Princeton didn't have any real scoring
power. It's defence was good enough
to enable the team to slip along unbeat-

the defence was smashed. A week AZ

Syracuse slumped and in six games that

conduct bouts over any distance up to

appointed referees. This, of course, is
not official-the governor may change
his mind after the politicians have

sides of the question. But from what

much surprised if he will allow anyone,

Harvard deserves first ranking be-

ball all year. It scored 365 points
against 25 FOR its foes. 1t suffered but
one defeat. a II to 16 trimming at the

GIANTS SAY NOT
Legal Fight Over Player
Signed by Federals Is
Now Believed Likely.

New York, Dec. THE probability
of a legal fight for the services OF
"Rube' Marquard of the New 4ork

club of the Federal league, IS To-Day
strongly indicated.
Federals, stated that Marquard had
signed the contract in trlpucale, IN
addition to making an atfldaYlU thau
he was a free agent in baseball sense,
ana had received and receipted for an
advance payment under his Federal
league contract
Three Contracts, Giants Say.
Secretary John ?. Foster of the New
York National league club, when ques-
toned regarding MaTquard'S status as
a free agent, said the pitcher was un-
der contract to the New York Giants in
a series of three interlocking contracts
which cover his playing services for
1915 and 1916, and give the New York
club an option on his services IN 1911
Still another contract gives the New
York club special rights In regard to
MarQuard's playing services, and was
drawn up with the idea of covering
any lOOphOles which might exist IN the
other contract
The secretary of the New York club
secuted the idea that Marquard could
play for any other team than the New
York Giants for the next two seasons
and intimated that the case would be

President David Fultz of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, stated that he did
not know how NarqUard's signing with
the Brooklyn club would affect his
status as a member of the players
fraternity.
From another source, it was re-
ported that Marquard was not a mem
Der in good standing in the fraternity
and for that reason it is doubtful If
the players organization will take Of
