NEW YORK, Feb. All signs
point to a split in the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association
over the question of the amater stat
US of players who deal in lawn ten
ais supplies, unless there is a marked
back down on the part of either the
eastern or western factions. Both
camps have taken decided stands upon
the point an dthe breach is widening
daily.
The yelled threat of the Pacific
States Lawn Tennis Association to
break away from the National Asso-
citation and establish a rival organiza-
ution has aroused considerable feeling
among the members of the parent
body and the coming annual meeting
is likely to bring forth some frank
expressions of opinion upon the sub
6ect. The controversy comes at a
particularly inopportune time since
the U. S. N. l.. T. has gone on rec
ord as favoring the reising of the am
ateur standards as suggested by the
recent conference of sport governing
bodies in this city under the auspices
of the l. C. A. A. A. A.
Fortunately tennis has reached a
point in popular interest in this coun-
try where action of any group or even
a national governing body will have
little effect if any, upon the game it.
self or the thousands Of players who
participate in the sport for the pleas

Tournaments and tournaent players
will be the sufferers and a split will
have the effect of curtailing the en-
tries and the glamor of intersectional
and all-star court battles.
With the possibility of international

Fair in Spite of War.

That the European sportsman will
retain his ideas of fair play, notwith-
standing the war, is illustrated by an
incident which happened in Germany
recently. A German horseman named
one of his racers "Canaille Grey out
of the fullness of his bitterness
against the English statesman and as
a result brought down upon himself
singing rebuke from Herr Won
Tepper-Laski one of Germany's most
prominent sportsmen. To make the
rebuke doubly strong, its author sent
il to the most widely read sporting
paper in the empire, out Of which it
has been copied everywhere.
81 noticed a comment on the lack
of taste used in naming some of our
horses says Herr Won Tepper-Las-
ki's statement. AS especially inap-
propTiate the name 'Canaille Grey,
was mentioned. That is much too
mildly expressed and in my opinion
s. should have been the duty of the
proper persons to rectify the name.
What would we say if enemy sports
men should misuse the name of our
statesmen in such slanderous ways"

Old Eli's History.

The delving into the Yale football
history by Walter Camp has uncov-
cred a number of interesting features
not the least of which is the use Of
signals by the Eli elevens in the days
of long ago In commenting upon
this work Henry B. Twombly, quar-
terback on the Yale teams of 1882
and 1883 writes to the Alumni Weekly
on the old Yale football days, as fol-
lows:
Walter Camp is right in his first
written list of word signals used by
the Yale Team in 1882, but he has ap-
parently forgotten the signal given on
the occasion of the first touchdown
made by Yale against Princeton since
1877. AS boys playing in the Boston
streets, cheese it. was our well-known
signal to look out for cops When
we were arranging signals in the fall
Of 1882, l remembered we'll the glea
with which Doc Beck, our right
tackle, and I fixed it up that when the
signal cheese it. was given, he was to
drop back behind the line for a quick
pass from the quarterback. After
considerable play in the Princeton
game at the old Polo Grounds on
November 80, 1882 Richgards dropped
back apparently to try drop-kick for
goal. But on the signal cheese it,
the Princeton line broke through the
Yale line with great ease to block
Richards kick. Such, however, had
been the intention on the part Of the
Yale line; Doc Beck dropped back Of
the line in exact time to get the ball
thrown over the heads of the charg-
irg Tigers, and without Princeton
man touching him, Beck rushed the
ball over fora touchdown. l can see
old Doc now, with his white hair

BEING A BASE BALL SLAVE
ISA GOOD JOB SOMETIMES

Every now and then some ball
player who has been paid large sal
airy for playing six months out of the
year, and is sold to another club be-
cause some magnate will not increase
the already unreasonable stipend
springs that old gag about slavery in
base ball.
Which calls to mind some such
case as that of Joe Tinker, who has
made $10s,500 in fourteen years of
major league playing, and has more
than $4,000 of it invested in property

Showing that being a slave" in
