MAY ENTER BRONX.
President Tener Hints That Barrow
Will Win His Fight.

WASHINGTON. Pa, February 1S.-
That the granting of the petition of the
international League to place a team
in the Bronx, New York city, was a
very probable result of present nego-
tiations and that the proposed transfer
to that district of the Kansas City Fed
erals would in no way affect National
League action is the assertion made by
President John K. Tener of the Ma
tional League, who was here last night
on a private business trip.
81 do not know how true the report is
regarding the location of Federal
League club in the Bronx" said Presi-
dent Tener. but I am certain it will
not affect in the slightest the action of
the National League regarding the In
ternational Leagues petition. Just
what will be done regarding the Inter-
national Leagues request to obtain a
Bronx franchise will be decided later,
regardless of Federal action, and it is
very probable that President Barrow's
efforts will be successful"

who could give these metropolitan en-
trants hard contest His absence last
year forced him to default with his
brother "Rol' in the doubles of the
Chevy Chase event and also in the dou-
bles and singles in the middle Atlantic
championships.
1t is now learned that Mr.. Doyle is
scheduled to leave Washington tomor-
row for Peru for absence of about
seven months, as he has been deslg-
mated as a member of the party of the
National Geographic Society which is
going there to search for ancient ruins.
This years absence is a bigger disap
last year. as he has been nursing am
bitions for a long time to stack up
against some of the country's best
play and would probably have had
an opportunity in April, when the Har-
ward team, of which R. Norris Will
liams, national champion, is member,
will be here to play Chevy Chase and
probably Columbia. Then again, Mr..
DOYLE was figuring on another chance
at "Charlie" Bull. who beat him for the
title at Chevy Chase in 1913 in a close
match He has two legs on the trophy
in this event and believes that he could
have won a third. thus making it his
permanent property, if he had been al
lowed to remain here during the sea-
son, as he as been playing the indoor
game in the Y. NJ. c. A. gym" this win
ter, and is in good shape right now.
The loss of Mr.. Doyle will also be
keenIy felt by the Columbia Country
Club, of whose team he is captain. He
will probably be back in the fall, and
will be seen in the Columbia and Dis
trict championship events.

meet every other team once, making
110 matches in all. The only objection
likely to be raised is that the suggested
