CALIFORNIA REQUESTS
MORE TENNIS CENTRES

California is proud of its success in
developing young tennis players, and
apparently intends TO maintain its fine
record in the movement now under way
TO secure more tournament competition
for juniors and boys.
A short time ago the National Asso-
citation announced tentative list of
forty cities Throughout the country for
designation as tennis centres. Winners
OF preliminary tournaments will be eli
gible TO compete for the championship
of these tennis centres. and such win
ners will be eligible to play for the ma
tionsl title. San Francisco and Los An
geles were named in California, but
these two centres are not enough to
take care of the juniors there DR..
Sumner Hardy. president Of the Pacific
States Lawn Tennis Association, has
proposed that Fresno. which is about
midway between the cities already
named, also be designated. Inasmuch
as the first list was purely tentative, it
is possible that several similar recon-
mendations will be presented 20 the an
nual meeting.

CHAPMAN CASE
GREAT PUZZLE
FOR LEE FOIL

Cleveland, Jan. 27.-Baseball takes a
lot Of queer turns. There's nothing
new in that. Only here's new rea-
son for repeating the platitude:
Starting the 1915 season Ray Chap
man was considered about the best
shortstop in the American League, all
points figured. Yet last season Chap
man was afoul of a lot OF tough luck
that threw him into the list OF discards
for a good part of the time. Digging
around to make the best Of a tough
deal, Lee Foil discovered young Bill
Wambsganss, who had been looked on
as rather a failure i'm big league cir
cles. Wamby was sent in to fiji Chap
mans shoes until Ray recovered from
his injuries.
Wamby rose to the occasion with
such vehemence that when Chapman
finally rounded 20 form again there
was doubt Of serious kind in Foh's
mind as to the advisability Of remov-
ing Wamby from the job. By the time
Chapman was ready TO 60 again at his
hest gait. Foil decided that il would be
bad policy TO break up his infeld com
bination. Wherefore at the end OF the
1916 season the man who was consid-
cred easily the peer Of American
League shortstops in 1915 was loafing
for the want Of a regular job on a
team for which he had starred one
short year before.
Now Foil is splicing the quiet OF his
of season days with a debate as to just
what he should do with Chapman.
Chapman in first class shape is won
derful shortstop. But Foil can't hide
the impression made by the infeld Of
the last season minus Chapman.

PHILA. KENNEL CLUB
OFFERS 1000 PRIZES

With nearly 200 special prizes. not
10 mention a large number OF money
prizes. the annual open, all-breed show
to be held by the Kennel Club Of Phila-
delphia at Horticultural Hall on Mon
day and Tuesday, February 26 and q,
promises TO be one OF the best eXhibi-
tions of dogs ever held by the club.
The specials have been so arranged
that the various exhibitors all have
chance to win, which should prove an
incentive to bring out the fanclers.
In compliance with the policy OF the
club, adopted last year, unclassified
specials will be eliminated. The only
special offered in that class is for the
best of the breed having the largest
number of entries.
The percentage plan will be in vogue
in every class. which will give the eX-
hibitors a fair chance.

at the annual indoor games OF the New
York Athletic Club, in the Twenty-sec-
ond Regiment Armory on Saturday eve
ming. February 10, include Ted Mere
dith, the two-time winner OF the cup.
That he will make a strong bid to OBJ
tain permanent possession Of the

Halpin is the national quarter mile
champion. which title he won at the
championships IN Newark, n. j., last
summer. when he evened up many de-
feats administered to him by Meredith

merchant from Philadelphia.
The West will be represented by

pion, who in winning the title equalled
Meredith's record of rs % seconds.
DESMOND defeated Meredith in special
quarter mile run at the Knights of St.

Little felloC, eyes Of bipe;

Planning mighty things TO do;
Looks into the years before him
Quite forgetul, little man,
That mother might adore him
AS mother only can;
Wonts TO get ont there and mingle
Where the combGfs at its height
Feels his youthful pulses tingle
WITH the glory OF the right.
There he's sitting, waitng, dreaming,
Where the rails shut out the light;
Busy planning, busy scheming
Hon. he may keep up the fght;
StW into the future peering
Thinking mighty things to do.
Hoficay doubling. halfrcoy fearing
That his dream loiH not come true;
StiU he's hoping, erer hoping
That some day his dream wiH mend.
On into the future cropping,
DrdWing nearer to the end.
There he's sitting, waitiHg. dreaming.
Eyes nor dimmcd and hair quite gray;
BIT his dream has lost the cleaning
Of thot far-gOne yesterday;
Dreams no more of battles CORY,
Wealth or poloer, might or fame,
Dreams no more Of ioorld-,0ide glory,
BIT he's dreaming, Just the same
Just the sGme3 No. I'm mistaken,
For the dream has changed since then;
Noic he sits alone, fors0kep,
Dreaming he's boy again.
