tee has met.
Play for Big Titles.
The national championship singles
will begin on the turf of the West
Side Tennis Club. at Forest Hills, on
Thursday, August 80. That is an in
novation which is greatly appreciated
and hailed with delight by the play
ers. 1t affords the necessary few
days of reeuperation which have so
greatly been desired and argued
about for several years. Further.
more, II makes certain that the his
toric tournament on the turf field of
the Meadow Club, at Southampton, L.
l., will probably eclipse all previous
records.
There Is a twofold reason for South
ampton becoming of national impor-
lance this year. 1t will stand as the
preliminary to the national champion
ships. Its unrestricted entry list will
bring into action the men from all
parts of the country who are eligible
to the championship, and others who
are not SO fortunate. under the new
rule which limits entry to ranking
competitors. Those who have an
alyzed the new conditions offer the
prediction that what will amount to
the American open championship will
hold the courts of the Meadow Club.
Southampton Is scheduled for the
week beginning August 20. The ia
nous tournament on the Casino, at
Newport. r. l., is to occupy the week
before Southampton.

is seen from the rather promising an

The fact that the women are to

The wonderful mile record hung up
by Johnny overton. the star Yale run

American indoor record, was accepted.
D. c. Sinclair's heave OF 81 feet 81
inches in the 12-pound shot-put in

COLLEGE LEAGUERS
WILL MEET AT "Y''
Circuit to Be Formally Launch
ed With Eighteen Game
SCHEDULE.

Members Of the new intercollegiate
basketball league will meet tomorrow
night at the Y. NJ. c. A. to adopt a
constitution and bylaws and to for
mally launch the circuit.
A schedule OF eighteen games is
contemplated each OF the four teams
meeting the others three times. The
election Of officers will probably take
place and reports OF committees viii
be made.
League Makes Up.
The league will be made up of
George Washington, Catholic Univer-
sity, Gallaudet, and Maryland State
College. The State team will be put
out for the first time in many years
next season.
Georgetown decided to go II alone in
basketball, but will play several OF
the new leagues teams. Prof. Z. IL.
Beckett, of the Y. NJ. c. A., will be
in charge OF the meeting.
VIII Choose Floor.
The leaguers will choose a playing
floor and will probably maks out a
schedule. In order that the four
teams go ahead with the schedules,
which will include other college teams
out OF town, it appears necessary that
the schedule be adopted at once.
Just who will head the circuit Is
not known. The league members
have been casting about for a neutral
man to be president. 1t is thought
that several prominent men, former
players not affiliated with
any Of the local colleges. would be
willing to serve.

Shap Must Coming Trip Keep
BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

Len Dillon, Georgetown's basket
ball manager. has done well this year.
Dillon not only succeeded in getting
through the season with something
on the right side OF the ledger, a feat
hitherto accomplished by but one or
two others in the history of the floor
game at Georgetown, but got the ex-
ecutive committee to make the sport
q major affair. Regular letters were
awarded. That's fair share OF glory.
There's one thing about being lick
ed that's generally overlooked. Ere
quent licktngs tend to prevent best
efforts in future starts. Not so with
Brooke Brewer. who has been trying
to trim Joe Loomis, Chicago's great
Splinter. Brewer had the ambition
to defeat Howard Drew And did 1t.
And now he says he il going to keep
after Joe Loomis until he trims him.
Watch for the spring meetings be-
tween the two best sprinters in the
country.
Here's a word on indoor meets. For
the past two or three years slim
crowds have viewed the indoor meets
here. We suggested a joint meet for
two colleges here. We now offer,
gratis, the hint of reducing prices to
double, four, and sixbit sizes as a
means of packing the hall. Two-bit
admissions pack the halls in Philadel-
phia and New York. One or two big
stars would also serve to make the
meets popular.
