RULING
Drastic Changes Promised
in Amateur Code at u. s.
N. L. T. Assn. Meeting
fRx Aaaociated Preaa.l

New York, Feb. 8.-Of the many
changes in the constitution suggested
by the executive committee Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association. which will be discussed at
the annual meeting of that organiza-
ton, the definition and adoption Of a
more stringent amateur rule, promises
to be by far the most important. The
meeting will be held in this city on
Friday, Feb. 8, but on account of the
unusual amount Of business to be
transacted, the regular session Of the
executive committee will take place
today. In former years this session
was held early on the day set for the
annual meeting, but this year 1t is
deemed advisable in the face of such a
volume Of urgent business to devote
all the time possible for the proper
consideration of it by the executive
committee.
It is practically certain that when
the new amateur rule is brought be-
fore the main body, 1t will be of such
drastic character, that a compromise
measure will be suggested to the effect
that the amended rule should not be
retroactive.
A change in the system Of holding
the doubles championship at a tourna
ment other than that at which the
singles title is to be decided, will be
another suggestion which is not likely
to meet with much opposition. The
championship team will be required to
play through. The continuance Of the
sectional championships will be advo.
Gated with a Recommendation that the
rule requiring at least one member of
q team to be a resident OF the section,
be rescinded.
Another important matter to be dis
cussed will be the limitation Of entries
in the national singles championship
tournament by the adoption of some
qualifications showing the ability OF
the players.
Applications for national and Sec
tional championships will be consider
ed and awarded by vote at the gem
eral meeting. All the applications for
holding the national doubles cham
pionship will be passed upon by a
special committee named for that pur-
pose at the executive meeting to-
day.

taken to Heaton, their former home, for
burial.

The house transacted q great deal
of business during the lengthy after
noon session. 1t failed, however, to
take any action on the bill proposing
the establishment Of a second asylum
for the insane at Garrison. . Mr..
Fraser of Mclean county, made a
lengthy talk in favor of the plan, de-
claring that no appropriation was ask
ed at this time-but that the location
only be fixed. Then, when the as
sembly decides another asylum Is
necessary, appropriations could be
made and work Immediately placed
under way.
1t was pointed out by Rice. also of
Mclean county, that any legislation
locating the proposed asylum, could be
repealed by any succeeding assembly,
and that therefore 1t was .unwise to
attempt to locate it at this time.
The bill was finally re-referred to

to reduce the varsity championship

attention to the fact that this is but
one of several changes made from

dates back to 1896, when the first
four mile race was staged upon the
Hudson. A year later the two mile
