rulings are to be voted on at the 1917 an

II is asserted that the action OF the unlteo

screws on golfers who were directly OF itiui-
rectly profiting by their connection or iaIiie
in the game Of golf had not little to DO III
stimulating the tennis body TO action
Golfers feel that there is one feature OF
the proposed amateur tennis ruling that Is
a decided improvement on the golt law
recently passed to cover the same condltion
that is, the status of player engaged IN
buying, selling or handling of supplies for
the game In question. Talks with dealers
Of sporting supplies reveal the TACT that the
occupation is extremely fascinating, proht-
able and envelopins TO great degree
Dealers felt that 1t would be extremely
difficult to make up their minds to break
away from their chosen life occupation at a
moments notice. Handling supplies was
not actually prohibited until the law was
passed in golfdom declaring such dealers
professionals.
Then. bng. There was no foopnoie, nor
hearing, nor chance to switch from an oc-
cupation that had not heretofore been pro-
hibited.
On the other hand. the tennis bill pro-
vides that players who do not sever their
dealer connections on or before April /,
1918, nearly two years after the bill had
been proposed, shall be Ineligible to play In
any matches under the auspices Of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association.
II is a safe thought that there could have
been little of the discussion that has arisen
over the golf ruling II the same provision
had been made as is found in the proposed
