Tennis Controversy.

When the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association holds its
thirty fourth annual meeting at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel next Friday II is
expected that all of the topics to be
discussed will be overshadowed by the
fight OF the two rival factions for the
national championship. Both those In
favor Of Newport and those against II
have been very retiring during the fast
week. and although each side seems to
have something up its sleeve, neither
party has displayed any willingness to
talk about the matter.
The meeting proper will start at 4
o'clock, but the fight will begin much
earlier, for the delegates who are voting
proxies will present and register their
credentials at O'Clock. As soon as all
OF the proxies are in the modus oper-
andi will he clear for each side, for then
ntfther can hold back it's voting
strength. The players committee has
limited that its campaign for proxies has
been 80 successful that II will have
enough votes TO bury it's rivals.
The matter next In Importance to the
awarding OF the national championship
will concern the Davis cup. II now
seems unlikely that any International
matches can be played this year but II
Is more than likely that the association
will challenge for America tentatively.
Officers will be elected too and unless
some Of the incumbents decide to retire
the present slate will be unopposed. Be-
sides the national championship all

There can be no doubt as to whore
Mr. Hilton stands In this matter. for lie
has given us an accurate picture from
the standpoint of the Britisher. I think.
however. that in this country we might
be a bit freer and advance additional
reasons why the youth OF the land

In an environment Of which golf Is n
part take n wonderfully deep interest
in the prowess of their children. II is
undeniably true that the America n
father is as vitality interested in the
play as in the sterner facts OF life which
confront his sons and daughters. This
is particularly true of those who can
afford to give the best that there Is In
The way OF an education TO their children.
\ healthy life seems to be assured TO
those who play at golf from early years,
and the pleasure which can be derived
from the achievement OF great skill at
the game is known to those fathers who
insist on their boys taking up the game,
The question to be answered is Just
what time in che general development
of the boy should he take up golf II

dividuals, but there must be some time
when the greatest benefits could accrue.
with this thought in mind I once APP

Now just about this time the boys
and girls are in the high schools or
academies and the majority OF them have
leisure time. The athletics OF the schools
are confined to per cent. OF the pupils
and large percentage of those left could
play the game of golf II any incentive
were put before them. They are the
ones who attend the ball game and
cheer, but II were far better II they
were out on the tennis courts or golf
