NO BAD EFFECTS
War Regulations Will Not Hurt
Golf or Tennis.
Players Will Keep in Form
Without Title Tournaments.
BY. JACK vEIOCK.

New York, May 12.-Followers of
golf and tennis turnout the United
States set up a disappointed howl
when the national golf and tennis
bodies took steps toward the cessa-
ton of championship tournaments on
account of the war.
Such a move will hurt the stand
ard of golf and tennis" said the fol-
lowers of these sports. Without
cham pionship play interest will die
out and the sports will drop back"
But on second thought the outlook
is not as bad as that, for altho title
play and the awards of trophies may
be greatly missed in some quarters,
golf and tennis will not be dropped
by the players themselves. They will
continue to follow their favorite pas
times just as they have in the past,
and the ones who rank among the
best in the country will not lose abil-
ity on the courts or the links because
championships are temporarily set
aside.
Play as Usual
Tournaments in both golf and ten
mis- circles will be held as usual in
many parts of the country and the
plan to turn entrance fees and other
proceeds over to the American Red
CT oss will lend a patriotic atm osphere
to them. The interest will be there,
even tina the army and navy claims
many star performers.
A good illustration of how the stand
ard of excellence is maintained by
golfer is to be found in Francis Out
met. The Boston youth has not played
in championship rounds since 1915,
yet today he would be just as danger
GUS as if he had been competing in
national title tournaments all along.
Old Jerry Travers, always a steady
and consistent player, has not gone
back to any great degree as a golfer
and should Chick Evans drop out of
championship Journeys for a year
there is no good reason to believe that
he would go back as a golfer. His
game would be held in just as great
esteem as ever by those against whom
he would be called upon to compete
when title Journeys again came into
vogue.
Stars Keep in Form.
It would he hard to ina CINE r. Nor

ers losing their effectiveness on the
tennis court. 1t is true that many ten
mis- players will serve in the army, yet
those who remain behind will keep
playing the game. and. after the war,
when championships are resumed, ten
mis- will come back into its stride
AS It looks from this distance there
is no great cause for alarm on the part
of devotees of either golf or tennis
over temporary cessation of champion
ships, for both of these sports are too
deeply rooted to wither from a short
period in which title matches will be
set aside.
