Rejects Right of Interference.

1t is the opinion of one of the leading
tennis authorities of Washington, man
who has greatly furthered the interests Of
the game here, that the proposed anna
teur rule will not be passed at the next
meeting Of the association. He also be-
lieves that the tennis committee has no
right to interfere with the choice of
players life voca ton. asserting that if the
player enters the sporting goods business
he is entirely within the bounds OF anna
teurism. The case of Maurice E Nc
Loughlin is cited When McLoughiin was
in the employ of a real estate firm in
San Francisco he had practically nothing
to do but play tennis. and his poor show
ing in the national championship last
year may be laid to the fact that. being
connected with sporting goods concern,
he was forced to go out and hustle for
business, thus prohibiting him from play
Ing enough tennis to maintain his form OF
previous years. r Norris Williams, It is
claimed, has admitted that in his opin-
ion. he would not have received so many
fattering offers from various business
houses throughout the east had it not
been the fact that he Is a great tennis
player. 1t is likely that previous to the
meeting of the association a meeting of
the delegates Of local tennis clubs will be
held to determine their attitude on the
proposed amateur rule.

What plants would soothe a stone

Oh, 1 was very learned then
But that was very long ago.

And all the woods and crows knew
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,
