AMATEUR RULE
OF TENNIS BODY
LACKS SUPPORT

That the action of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association in
barring Miss Clare Cassel from the
amateur ranks as a lawn tennis player
has not met with popular support
among the players of the country is
shown by the comment of Philadel-
phia paper, which takes up the cudgels
vigorously in Miss CassePs behalf.
Referring to the disbarred player,
who was halted in the middle of a
match at the recent women's New Jer-
sey state championship tournament
and warned not TO compete with anna
tours any longer because of her hav-
ing accepted financial reward for skat-
ing instruction, the article says:
When the amateur rule comes up
at the annual meeting it will have the
backing of the president and other
officers. because it is the child of the
association. The men and clubs Of
the Far West, Middle West and great
portion Of the South and East are alb
solutely set against it. They will send
their representatives to New York in
structed TO defeat the proposed rule.
The secretary, however, will hold all
instructed proxies from clubs not pres
ent to vote as he sees fit"
II this be true, it would indicate
that the annual meeting of the U. S.
n. L. T. A. is going TO be a very lively
one, with much bitter argument pro
and con.

Lawson Robertson, the Pennsylvania
coach, is pleased with the performances
shown by the freshmen athletes in their
games last Tuesday. 1t is from this
group that the genial Lawson hopes to
strengthen the now weak varsity group.
The signing of the new coach caused a
boom in the sport at the Philadelphia
institution, and many new aspirants
are out on the field every day. Rob-
ertson is limping about town nowadays,
rusty nail having pierced his shoe
while he was demonstrating the proper
manner in which to throw a weight.
The 'cross-country squad is promising.
Many athletes, who have tried out
the new Steinway course, declare that
probable serious injury turks behind
the narrow lanes and the many stones
that dot the trail. II would be we'll for
the promoting organization to remove
some of this debris before the day of
the race. While composed mostly of
rough and uneven ground, the Long ISL
and City course cannot compare with
the strenuous Van Cortlandt Park hills,
which demand a considerable amount
of stamina and endurance.
The road racing season will be off
cially opened next Sunday afternoon,
when the 81. Peters Club, of Jersey
City, conducts its annual open event.

than Potter did when he was running

which will count in the team total.

Westerner Again Earns the
Decision Over Morgan's
Champion

Billy Mske, the heavyweight of st.
Paul, easily outpointed Battling Lee
whisky through the ten-round feature
Of the Clermont Athletic Club, Brook
lyn, last night. II was the second time
within a month that the Westerner won
a popular victory over the Battler at
this club.
Miske, two-handed fighter who
knows quite enough about the manly
art to protect his own epidermis
roughed Levinsky all over the ring and
landed many Earring rights and lefts
that rocked Bat to his very toes. In
the fifth round wicked right hook cut
Levinsky over the left eye. IN the
seventh another blow of the same nat
ure decorated the left optic in the same
way.
With his eyes badly damaged, Levin
sky had the time of his life avoiding
Miske's well meant leads, many Of
which reached the mark. Levinsky ap-
peared to tire badly through the last
three rounds. He was continually hold
ing in order to stay the limit.

ODD CHARACTER
PASSED AWAY
IN BILLY JORDAN

Billy Jordan, news Of whose death
at the Veterans Home, in California,
was published few days ago, was one
of the duaintest characters ever known
to the sporting world. Born in Boston,
he went to the Coast more than sixty
wears ago. Jordan became part and
parcel of the thrilling life then in full
swing in California and was a con-
temporary of the strange, romantic
characters Bret Harte so wondrously
described.
In 1861 Jordan went to war, joining
one of the frst regiments that Cali
fornia sent into action. After the war
he went back to San Francisco and
entered the sporting field.
Jordan, first as a boxer, next as a
sporting writer, then as ring official,
identified himself so thoroughly with
the boxing game that no fight seemed
properly staged without him. AS a
youth he had known John Heenan, the
Benica Boy" and was, perhaps, the
last surviving American sportsman who
was really acquainted with that great
warrior.
AS the years went by he saw all the
great fighters come and go, first in the
bare knuckle days, then in the time OF
the skin glove battles and finally IN
tho era Of the Queensberry rules and
soft mittens.

tournament for professional players
began last night at Thum's Academy,
West Fortieth Street, with Frank
Jones. of the Regent Billiard Academy,
Philadelphia, defeating Charles 5. Otis,
of this city, by score of so to IL.
Jones's position play was excellent,
and he rarely left himself with diff
cult lineup, once he had gained control
of the worries. Otis was not quite at
the top of his game, but held his own
after Jones had run into lead early
in the match. The Philadelphia
ran out in ffty-six innings, and had a
high run Of 7, while the best Otis could
do was cluster of 5.
Seventeen players are entered IN the
tournament, with matches 10 be played

Managers and Boxers Still
Await Opening" of
Delayed Season
BY W. O. MCCLELLAN

The current boxing season is already
so sick that number of curious per-
sons are holding a post-mortem over
1t. The jury will probably return a
verdict Of talked TO death by a per-
son or persons not yet apprehended."
About this time last year the boxing
season was in a remarkably fit condi-
ton. In all of the various rings of
greater New York the deserving artists
who demonstrate the science perfected
by the late Marquis of Queensberry
were busy distributing hooks. iabs and
right crosses. Moreover. they were lay
ing up change for the long. cold win
ter.
But this year he thump of the pad
ded fist is scarcely heard at all. The
silence is shattered only by the click
of the managers typewriters. They
care not for the cost of white paper.
There are no bouts worth mentioning
on tap. but the literary output of James
/ Johnston. John Pythagoras Dunn and
John The Barber is nearly double that
of last year. Leo p. Flynn. Dan Nc
ketrick and other unpopular authors
are cloEging the mails. as though the
scarcity OF white paper was mere
bagatelle.

The Boxing Commission should in

No Bouts in Sight
Whether or not there will be any big
bouts this year is problematic. The
receiver of Madison Square Garden and

holds any matches. If anybody can get
