WRENN SAYS HE
WILL DROP HELM
In LAWN TENNIS
To Retire from Active
Work in u. S. Association
When Term Expires.

Robert ID Wrenn. president OF the
United States National lawn Tennis
Association. publicly announced at the
meeting Of representative sports bodies
throughout the country to discuss the
much mooted amateur question, IN the
Hotel Aston yesterday, that he would
retire as an active force IN the afalrs
of lawn tennis when his present term
of Office expires.
This was the first official confirmation
of a rumOr' that has been current IN
lawn tennis circles for two months, and
it will be heard with regret by those
who ha the interests Of the sport at
heart.
It would sem as if GEORGE T. Adee
or Julian S. Myrick. president of the
West Side Tennis Club, -'Ould be his
logical successor. but, Of course, moth
ing definite along these lines can be
more than suggested Al this time, as
this is work fC' the nominating com
mittee TO do.
Bob Wrenn has cen president Of the
l.. s. y. l.. T. A. for several years, and
before assuming Office was one Of the
most prominen players in the country,

1894, 1896 and 1897. lie was known as
one of the most brilliant strategists on
the courts during his reign. and was a
master of the lob for position, winning
many Of his most important matches
through his ability to place his battling
lobs witt great eXactness in the spot
he desired.
Under Wrenn's leadership the ma
tional association has welded a great
influence for good over the game of
lawn tennis. and the growth of the
sport has been remarkable since the
man now about TO retire first took Of
fee. The All Corners ornament on
the courts of the West Side Lawn Ten
mis- Club, at Forest Hills, last Septem-
Der was conducted in a 7 amer that
earned the admiration of players and
spectators alike, and II was Wrenn's di-
recting genius that made the great tour
nament an unparalleled uccess.
George Townsend fdee. one Of those
mentioned 20 cceed Mr.. Wrcnn, has
long been prominently identified with
the game in this country. and has fire.
qucntly served as delegate 20 the
national associations ann al meetings.

Personal Touches Here
and There in Boxing
BY IGOE

The welte.weight division will be eX-
humed tonight at Madison Square
Garden. when Willie Richie and Ted
Lewis meet. 1t is the first time IN
years that real welterweight contest
of any pumpkins has been fought.
Time was when the welters were the
most formidable in the Queensberry
realm. Wolcott, Ryan. Neill, Mystic
rious Billy Smith. RUDE Ferns and
Matty Mathews were all great boxers,
but with their pugilistic passing went
the division. The last two to make any
claim on the class were Honey Mel
lody and Mike Twin Sullivan. When
they finally gave up lighting the welt
ers faded away until the once FAMOUS
circle was forgotten entirely. kltchle
and Lewis will revive I tonight.
There are any number of present day
boxers who will make il an interesting
division once Richie and Lewis start
tho ball rolling. The woods are full of
near lightweights who really belong IN
tho f42 Mound class. Richie realized
that he had outgrown ne lightweights,
20 he wisely declared himself welter-
weight champion. at least on paper.
Lewis wants that title il II is to be
established again. and he intends to
make a pretty strenuous bid Tor the
honors tonight. tie has met with but
one reverse since he has been boxing IN
this country, and chat was on the
occasion of his fight with Mike Glover
q man who is in reality middleweight.
Ted lost the referees decision IN twelve
