Newport Casino has been aware OF inc
likelihood of change ever since 1911,
and has this year, IN any case, received
a notice Of seven months. We submit
that no monetary considerations should
affect this question Newport has
gained much from our association IN
the past. and should il suffer slightly
now. as we believe IL will not, II IS
amply prepared TO stand the burden.
We believe. however, that the Newport
Casino has not built its additional
courts for the specific purpose OF the
national championship. but because OF
an increased demand in local play IN us
own club. =,
After paying due respect to some OF
its honored tennis Names" the Tennis
PLAYERS Committee points out that at
least eight Of the men favoring New
rort are those who played when the
game was New England's and who nave
retired long since. thus being out OF
touch with the growth and needs OF
lawn tennis.

lar of those favoring New York City

resent all sections of the country, with
eighteen states on the roster. whereas

complexion plainly shows, quite the
contrary 10 that of our opponents. It's
formation was the result OF national,
not sectional, demand 20 broaden and
spread the game by removing the cham
pionship from Newport. New York City
was chosen because il appeared at pres
ent the logical place. Ever since 1911
this matter has been before the players
of the country, and ample time al
forded TO advance claims.
Second annual meeting has al
ways decided yearly by vote to what
place the national championship was TO
be awarded, and we fail 10 see the
necessity af a new 'so-called' definite
policy this year more than any other
year. In any case, the 1915 annual
meeting has not the power to bind
future annual meetings by present
legislation. Future conditions must
and can best be met as they arise. No
annual meeting can impose policy Of
rotation of the championship on future
annual meetings. We believe the cham
pionship should be yearly allotted as
in the past, but 10 that place which
best serves the interests of the game.

Paragraph of our adversaries' state

for IL is an admission that Newport

I'VE are unalterably opposed TO such

More Reasons are Presented
for Transfer of the Ten
mis- Tournament to
West Side.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Charge and counter charge are be
coming more frequent between the
lawn tennis factions Of Newport and
New York. as they wage fierce battle
for the right 20 hold the next national
lawn tennis tournament.
The time is short before the annual
meeting Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel on February 3,
when this weighty matter will be de-
cided one way or the other. The
tennis players committee delivered a
broadside at the committee favoring
Newport in circular sent out last
night.
The circular starts out by stating
that the tennis players committee
feels entitled 70 answer the arguments
set forth by the committee favoring
Newport, because il embodies the rea-
sons for "Our opponents position, and,
further, because It is in itself a reply
to our brief Of the 9Th instant"
THE sole purpose OF our tennis
PLAYERS committee is 10 remove the
championship from Newport for the
best interests of the game" says the
second paragraph IN the circular sent
out last night by Lyle L. Mahan, sec
rotary Of the committee.
After drawing attention 10 the fact
that in their zeal 20 retain the tourna-
ment at Newport. the committee head
ed by c. VI. Bull, jr., has set forth
much irrelevant matter, thus unneces-
sarily complicating simple issue, the
tennis players committee expresses
the most kindly feeling for the OPPOSE
ton. and asserts its sole desire IS 70
enlighten further the members OF the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association on the question involved.

George p. B. Clarke, former holder
Of the title, and Francis S. Appleoy,

Yesterday in the afternoon game OF
the national amateur Class b ~ oalk-
line billiard tournament az the ANA
teur Billiard Club.
Clarke finished with an average OF
28-34, while Appleby scored hlgn
run of 81, both marks being new records
for this tournament, while AppleDy ;
figures supplant the former record OF
%, made by Hal Coleman two years
fgo. which stood as the highest run
ever made in Class b billiards.
Clarke won the game with plenty 70
spare. in spite of young Appleby's re-
markable run. clicking off his necessary
300 points, while his opponent could
gather only 225 n tnirty-three innings
The men used almost diametrica lily
different styles in compiling their
points. Clarke probably has no equals
i'm Class when II comes to executing
difficult open table shots, and ne made
most of his runs in that way, although
he was always keen in his playing for
position.
Appleby, on the contrary, wooed the
ivorles cunningly when they were close
along the rail and rarely did ne elect
TO use the drive. When he began his
twenty-fourth inning. with a total Of
1875 points, he was ninety points be-
hind Clarke. but this almost hopeless
position did not affect the youth 3
nerve, and he proceeded 70 put to-
gether the prettiest run ever seen in a
Class B tournament in this country.
Clarke, whose unvarying good sports
manship throughout the tournament
has made him a favorite with the
crowd. was universally congratulated
for his brilliant finish and victory.
