TENNIS COMMITTEE
MAY REVIVE TITLES

New York. Dec. S-Indications point
strongly now to the restoration of all
championships in the tennis events of
next year. The advisability of such a
step has for some time been urged by
men who have the best interests of
the sport at heart, so that tennis may
be saved from the dry rot which
threatens 1t. This question of revivi-
flying the championships will he one OF
the chief issues under discussion at
the meeting OF the executive commit
tee of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association at the Wal
dorf-Astoria tomorrow. The argu-
ments in favor of holding the cham
pionships next summer are so many
and so strong that favorable action is

PIPP HAS
ANSWERED THE CALL

New York. Dec. s-Unverified but
apparently trustworthy reports from
Grand Rapids. Mich. have it that
Walter Pipp has enlisted in Uncle
-sam's service. and will not be at Mil
Ter Higgins disposal next season.
The Yankee first basemar volunteered
as an expert draftsman-he is an
architect of some experience as well
as a ball player-and even though he
does not get to France he will be en-
tirely too busy working for the gov
ernment to even think of baseball.
The loss of Pipp will constitute a
real blow to the new managers hopes
of lifting the Yankees into the first
division next season. The Michigan
Mauler was not only an exceptionally
brilliant fielder. but a hitter Of sur
merit, a cleanup larruper
who was likely to cut loose with a
home-run wallop at almost any mo-
ment. He was something Of a disap-
pointment this year. but led his league
as driver-in of runs during the 1916
and figured to develop a
comeback in 1918.

LEECk ATTENDS
TENNIS MEETING
Columbia Country Club
Chairman Sole Represent
ative Of District at New
York Confab.

A. Y. Leech. jr., chairman of the
tennis committee of the Columbia
country Club and a member of the
ranking committee Of the United
states Lawn Tennis Association, is
Wasnington's sole representative at
tne meeting Of the executive commit
zee or the national association which
Is to be held at New York today.
AT this meeting. one of the most I'M
portant questions to be taken up is
that regarding next years events. On
account OF the war. the 1917 list of
championship events, ranking and
prizes were abolished. This action
was primarily taken In order that no
one might be influenced not to enlist
because Of an attractive tennis sched-
ule. Now that the government has
decided upon the selective draft, this
consideration no longer holds good
and many of those in the know believe
that the championships, official rank
ings. etc, will be restored for 1918.
There are. of course, many reasons
both pro and con in connection with
this proposition. Leech believes that
the abolishment of these titular events
should be continued until the war ends
and conditions again become normal.
He thinks that club tournaments and
patriotic ones should be held and that
the game should be ENCOURAGED a
much as possible, but contends that 1t
Is unfair to the many leading expo
nents of the game who are serving
heir country to have them lose their
titles by default, and, furthermore,
that 1T is not becoming for national
sports to take prominent place dur
ing war times.
The whole matter will be threshed
out today. however. and racquetters ,
all over the country are anxiously
Awaiting the result.

started we knew that il was a mat
ter OF a toss-up whether Cornell
would win or lose the majority Of
its games, but We also knew that

OF that aim We are satisfied There

His famous haymakers have from

G. U. T0SSERS IN
BATTLE TONIGHT
Hilltoppers Play Mount St.
Joseph Quint at Ryan
: Gymnasium.

Georgetown University basketball
tossers will get the jump on the other
CUNTS In this vicinity when they hook
up with the Mount st. Joseph's Col
lege team from Baltimore in the first
noor game of the season at the Ryan
gym tonight at SIS o. m.
Coach John O'Reilly has been put
ting the Hilltop tossers through many
long and hard drills in preparation
Tor this opening contest, as Mount
ST Joseph's this season has one OF
tne pest teams that ever represented
the Baltimore institution, and O'Reilly
is looking for a tough battle.
The Oriole collegians have been out
Tor nve weeks and are In tip-top
shape. Because only informal and
class football was INDUCED in by the
Baitimoreans this faif, attention was
turned to basketball early. and the
Mountaineers have a fast passing
team which is considered one OF the
best drfbbling outfits that has visited
here In long while. Manager J. p.
Mallon is confident his tribe will turn
back the Hilltoppers in the opening
battle.
Although Coach O'Reilly had not
made up his mind Just what
lineup would start for the Hilltop
pers. 1t Is expected that Fees and
Olone will play the forwards, Lon
schak and Keresey the guards and
Capt McNulity the center positions.
Fees last season was the best foul
goal shooter in the South Atlantic
division. He was drawn by Uncle
Sam in the national army. but was
turned down for physical disability, il
being claimed that his eyesight was
not up TO the standard. but from the
way Fees shot the ball In the net \,
appears that some one has pulled a
boner.
Ozone makes a great running mate
Tor the fast little forward, as he can
shoot the ball from any angle, and is
l wonder at the dribbling game. Capt
is ranked as one of the
best centers In this section. He is al
ways In the game, and as a defensive
player has but few equals.
Keresey was one OF the best second
itringers In the squad last season,
While Lonschak is a newcomer. of
