BEGIN FIGHT FOR
 PLACE OF COMING TENNIS TOURNAMENT

New York. Feb. 54Tennis players from all over the country flocked. into town yesterday preparatory to the annual meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria this afternoon and tonight. More than usual interest. attaches to the session this year, because of the fight being waged against awarding the national championship tourney to Newport. While there has for years been a move 50 bring the champion ship to some other place, the opposi- ton this year is far stronger than it has ever been.
 Newport adherents are deterrnin- ed that the fixture shall not be taken away unless it can be shown that the players, and not the spectators, will be benefited by a. change. This the West Side Tennis Club is ready to show

 OPPOSE MORE
 RULE CHANGES

t
 Cambridge, Mass, Feb 5.-New England's two members of the Inter collegiate football rules @committee, Edward K Hall of Dartmouth. who is Chairman of the board, and Percy D. Haughtol, the Harvard head coach who also is a member attended the annual session in New York today. Chairman Hall expects that the meet ing will bring out many interesting points. but that the work of the com 1nitIee will be that of recodifying some of the rules and acting on sug- gestionA for cI1anges rather than on actual Changes for tnesplaying condi- lions Of the game.
 The Harvard coach is specially in 5terested ina one or. two points, but he will oppose vigorously any attempt to change the rules so that guard or tackle shall be allowed to go into the backdield without being required to stand at least five yards back Of the 7saIi sNykensit is put into play IL mas been suggested that the hve-yaro re- sfrictIon be removed, but. the Harvard d coach believes that this step would be a backward one
 Haughton also will suggest a rule changing the point of possession or the ball when a forward pass IS mace beyond the sideline limits lie sug- gestss that the ball go to the defeno1ng team at the spot where it was put in 5s. nlay rather than opposite the point where it crossed the sideiine on the fly.
 Last year when attacking teams had been stopped well down the field, forward passes. rather than kicks, were used to place the ball outside and close to the goal line .and this, In Haughton's opinion, is. unfair. as ac- c4lrate forward passes are so much easier to make than kicks
 movement that Haughton will op- nose will be that to prevent interfer- 4nee after the referees whistle has blown, or at least to prevent penalties for this. He regards the suggestion for such a penalty as direct slap al Tsarvarflss present successful style of offense.

Boston. Mass, Feb. l5-After three and a half hours discussion at the ad1onrned meeting of the New Eng land Baseball League held at the Quincy House yesterday afternoon, proposals that organization should drop two cities and become a six club circuit were defeated The only sensation t1at developed was the an- nouneernent of the sale of the. Man chester club by Fred Lake to Tom Ready. the former Dartmouth ath- lete and now football and baseball coach of sLeh1gh University.
 There was no talk of merging with t4le Eastern Association and the meeting turned down. the split sche- dule idea The league will comprise eight cities and the schedule will be announced within the next two weeks. Sherman H. Marshall and Daniel F. Clohecy, formerly owner of the Haverhi1 franchise, were elected honorary members
 Manager Baxter of the Springfield Feds. attended the meeting, but took no part in the proceedings There was nothing to indicate that the New England Baseball Leagues territory was to be threatened by an ivasion of the Federal League

EXAMS RESTORE TWO HARVARD FOOTBALL MEN
 BUT DROP 2 OARSAIEN

Cambridge. Mass, Feb. 5.-The an- nouncement of the result of the mid winter examinations at Harvard has produced several joys and gIooms in the athletic camp. Here they are;
 Joys.
 R. R. CoWen, '16, has become eligi- ble for the Crimson football team. He was unable to play during the past season on account of his inefigibiIity at the college office.
 A. J. Gilmans who was dropped a. class last spring, received his original class standing back again after the present mid-year examination period, and he will also be a candidate for the team next fall.
 Both these men have already made their mark in Harvard football, and would be considered perfectly good rush-line material at any college in the east.
 Gloons.
 Harvard's rowing prospect received a considerable setback yesterday when it was announced that Bruce Pirnie, '15, and T. J. D. Fuller, IS, two var sity oars1nen. would be ineligible for the crew. They failed to pass the recent oral examinations.

KEEP LID ON CITY,

Warns Against Letting the

Prosecutors Office"

District Attorney Charles A. Perkins
put in three hours of heavy campaign
ing last night and ended the evening as
a guest of the Harlem Chamber Of
Commerce at their dinner, held at 256
West l25th Street. Mr.. Perkins spoke
at five meetings. The largest one was
at the Star Casino. l07th Street and
Park Avenue, where other speakers

Republican County Committee; LOUIS
Marshall. Representative Walter VI.
Chandler. Representative Isaac Slegel
and James K. Sheffield, president Of the
Republican Club.
MIR Perkins was enthusiastically re-
ceiyed by the big crowd at the Casino
meeting. lie declared that the real issue
was whether or not the people wanted
Charles F. Murphy TO run the District
Attorneys Office. He warned the voters
not to let the Tammany Tiger get into
the Criminal Courts Building and pry
of the lid" throughout the city, which
the present administration had nrmly
clamped down.
Assurances which l have received
from citizens of all classes" he said,
"and all parties convince me that the
Tiger will not be allowed to nourish
itself in the District Attorney Office.
That office, with its staff OF sixty as
sistants, is a tempting morsel 20 that
predatory institution. 1t is the duty Of
the voter TO use his ballot as a barrier
TO keep Murphy and mis- aids from the
Criminal Courts Building.
The assistance which Mr. Moss is
giving the same old Tammany which
he used to oppose so yehemently Will
be of little avail. The thinking voter Is
not affected by mere noise, and 1t IS the
thinking voter who will decide the re-
nit of neXt Tuesday's election"
