 Adee said: About two weeks ago letters were sent all members of the U. s. N. l.. T. A. notifying them of the changed conditions for the con- duct of sanctioned tournaments this season, and asking them to notify me as to their plans The regulations adopted by the executive committee provided that championships and ranking be given. that proceeds of tournaments be given to the Red Cross. and that clubs minimize their efforts to attract visiting players and
 instead try to secure large local entry in order to improve the physical condition of men not actively engaged in military service at present.
 The response thus far has been most encouraging. have had letters
 from about sixty clubs which were
 awarded tourraments. stating posi-
 lively that they will hold these events
 under the regulations proposed. A
 dozen members of the association
 which were not awarded events have :, written that they approve the plan and will try to arrange local tourna- l ments for the Red Cross. Six clubs

 Tho magnate8 discussed the pro- posed war tax: tho drafting of play CTS for the army; a later opening of the season: violation of the waiver rules; better telegraph facilities for the reporting of games and . propo- sition to reduce the club rosters, but no definite action was taken upon any of these subjects.
 It was decided to enforce the pres ent rule limiting the number of play ers any club may carry between May 15 and Angask a1 to twenty-two this allotment to include players either injured or sick. In case the army draft hite tho club hard. e1cep- tions may be made to this rule.
 President c. H. Nbbets of the Brooklyn club made . plea for . la- ter opening of the playing season. backed by reports of indictment weAth- CT for several seasons but his fellow magnates were unable to reach . unanimous decision and the subject was laid over until the December meeting.
