WAIDNER TAKES
ISSUE WITH EAST
ON AMATEURISM

L. II. Waidner, member of the execu-
tive committee of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association, rep
resenting the Western Association,
with headquarters in Chicago, issued
statement from Pittsburgh last night
IN which he declared he was not in ac-
cord with Eastern members of the COM
mittee on the sporting goods clause of
the proposed new amateur rules. Waid-
ner also has his own opinion as TO the
proper handling Of the expense portion
of the same rules, as applied to young
players unable TO pay their own way.
Instead Of putting the obligation Of
paying necessary travelling and hotel
bills upon a club to which any such
young player be sent or TO which he
may belong in his home city, Waidner
thinks the large fund in the hands of
the National Association, approximate
ing $4,000, should be used in part for
this purpose His idea is to select GER
tain assistant treasurers about the
country who would be authorized to
distribute this fund in developing
young players, such officials to serve
without compensation.
Waidner believes this method of con-
troll. if placed over the exhibition
matches played about the country,
would eliminate some Of the criticism
of the National Association, as all such
matches would be under the eye of the
executive committeeman IN the district
in which such matches were played.

FIVE
CONQUERS YALE
BY ONE POINT

Princeton. y. j., Jan. 23.-Princeton
nosed Yale out by one point this even
ing in the hardest fought basketball
game seen here in a long while. The
first period ended with the score Yale
IA. Princeton IL.
The Tiger passing had been ragged
and the shooting was always harried by
the close guarding of Taft and Mallan.
In the last period Princeton took de
cided brace, and after tying the score
il was snybody's game until the whistle
blew. The final score was 20 TO 10.
During the last few minutes of play
the lead shifted from one team to the
other whenever point was scored. and
the stands were in continual uproar.
Captain Haas, for Princeton, was the
outstanding star of the game. making
10 of his teams points. Mallan was
high man for Yale, with three baskets
from the field. Kinney could not seem
to locate the basket on foul shots and
only made one out of seven tries.
Paulson, the diminutive Tiger for
ward, was not able TO shake off Captain
Taft. Of Yale, who was guarding him,
and shot the baskets himself, but he
led the attack in the last half. and
time after time he literally took the
ball out OF the Yale players hands.
Both teams were guarding closely
and many long shots were attempted,
but none Of them was successful
Princeton forced the play all during
the second half. but the Tigers only
succeeded in making three baskets, Yale
being held TO pair.

TENNIS CLASSIC
MAY BE MOVED
FOR THIS YEAR
Other Clubs Are Expected to
Advance Bids for Cham
pionshipS
By FRED HAWTHORNE

1t would not come as a great sur
prise to some persons if club other
than the West Side Tennis Club OF
Forest Hills put in bid for the ma
tional singles lawn tennis Champion
ship when the matter comes up at the
annual meeting of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association at
the Waldorf-Astoria on February 3.
Philadelphia and Boston are the only
cities that can be figured as serious
contenders of New York, outside OF
Newport, when it comes to holding the
greatest tournament in this country.
As between Philadelphia and Boston,
the former would seem TO have the
call. both from the standpoint of ac-
feasibility and accommodations.
The Philadelphia Cricket Club. at St.
Martins. IN the Philadelphia suburbs,
has an abundance of most excellent
turf courts, something like sixty IN
rumber. and p commodious clubhouse
Roth trolley cars and steam trains ru1
near the grounds, and the city has SUI
ficient hotels TO house all the players
in such a tournament. For something
like thirty years this club has con-
Quoted the women's national champion
ship tournament and in manner high
~ satisfactory to all concerned. There
is no reason TO believe 1t would not
make an equal success of the mems
events.
Boston has its famous Longwood
Cricket Club. also in the suburbs, where
many famous Journeys have been held
in the last score of years, including
Davis Cup preliminary matches, and its
grass courts are among the oldest and
most seasoned in the country. but we
do not believe that in all around de-
STABILITY it quite measures up to the
Philadelphia Cricket Club standard.
When the West Side Tennis Club
voted TO apply for the national singles
and national juniors and boys tourna-
ments for 1917 at its annual meeting
last week. il was stipulated that in case
there was any disposition shown nj
the meeting of the L. $. n. l.. 7. A. 20
award these fixtures to some other
club the local organization would make
no fight to retain the tourney it has so
conspicuously staged for the last two
years.
In some quarters this was taken TO
mean that either the Philadelphia
Cricket Club or the Longwood club
had indicated its intentions Of put
ting in bids for the national champion
ship tournament
Ever since this fixture was taken
away from the Newport Casino, in
1915. there has been feeling among
/ followers of the game that the all-com-
ors' should be held each year IN a

By GRANTLAND RICE

Pinehurst, n. c., Jan. 23.-Most of the
favorites came safely through In the
advertising golfers championship to-
day, but there were at least one or two
surprises. The first came when w. W.
Manning, the long hitter from Upper
Montclair, eliminated Roy Barnhill, of
Fox Hills, one Of the favorites.
Manning went to work with fine de-
termination and by consistent work
around the greens and a few excellent
recoveries dropped the Fox Hills star
by the margin of 3 and 2.
Lee W. Maxwell, of Sleepy Hollow,
and /. A. Hamilton, of the National,
two of the strongest entries, both came
safely through by tidy margins. Max
we'll defeated A. J. Baldwin by the
count Of and 2, while Lou Hamilton
beat William Campbell and 8.
Ridgeway Beaten
One of the upsets was the defeat Of
Z. J. Ridgeway by r. L. Wilton, Of
Beverly. Mr.. Ridgeway quslifed several
strokes better than his opponent on
Monday, but when il came TO match
play the Beverly entry hung on grimly
and finally got away with an extra hole
match.
The match between r. &. Wilson, Of
Baltusrol, and NJ. L. Fordyce, of Youngs-
town, was one OF the closest Of the day.
The Baltusrol entry was up against
a veteran campaigner, but he stuck TO
the job and carried the match TO the
last putt on the 18th hole.

Terry never played more brilliant
squash in his life. There we're few
who were willing to concede him more
than the provurbial fighting chance
when he took the court at the start
of the match. When Buckley ran on
with the first game in commanding
style, the belief that Terry was in for
a sound wslloping became conviction
with every one but Terry. He had
only begun to fight. Cutting loose with
every last ounce of energy, he fought
the Columbia man tooth and nail at

conflict only with the junior champion
ship, to be held at Siwanoy on June 26

of J. N. Manning, one Of the strong
PLAYERS Of the Boston district, by G. b.
Martin. Manning is one of the longest
drivers here, but he was unable TO get
his short game working and greater
steadness in this respect put Martin
safely over, although he was frequently
outdriven from 30 TO so yards.
In the match between W. j. Melon
aid, of Chicago, and Keith Evans, OF
Knollwood, the former had to sink a
20-foot putt on the last green to win,
but he found the bottom of the cup at
the big moment Of the match.
No Exceptional Scores
There were no exceptional scores re-
ported in the first round at match play,
as the cooler weather. while bracing
and exactly right for exercise, was not
conducive to the best golf.
As the winners in each fight on the
courses to-day formed separate six
teens, there are now no less than eight
sixteens at work on the various flights.
The big entry list has been scattered
over two courses, the first thirty-tw0
to-day taking the long No. 3 course,
while on Wednesday it viii operate
over the No. 2 course.
