Western Clubs MayLeave Big Association

IAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10.-The Pa

- ton has taken a radical and deter
mined stand against amateurism, as de-
fined by the executive committee of the
United States National Tennis associa-
ton, in the new legislation which viii
be presented at the annual meeting of
that organization in February.
The Pacific coast organization takes
the stand that q player has the in
herent right TO make his living as he
can, provided he does not make direct
financial profit from tennis.
In a letter which they are sending
TO all tennis clubs throughout the
country they make spirited protest
against the proposition fostered by the
executive committee of the MAIonaI
body, which is firm in its purpose to
debar westerners like Maurice E Nc
LOughlin and Thomas Bundy, who are
in the sporting goods business This,
in the eyes Of the executive committee,
is quite sufficient grounds for elimin-
ating them from the national matches.
The western organization has
further signified its intention Of
Obstructing the national bOdy's
plans by stating that in its opinion
n tennis club has every right to
make money out of the sport pro-
Vided the making Of money will
enable the club to attain its ends
as n tennis club. This first SEirm-
ish in the future tennis war I'M

western organizations aS n whole

cedent for some of the outlaw
