FLOTSAM AND LETSAM FROM
WORLD OF AMATEUR SPORT
~ DANIEL.

In the light OF conditions imposed BY
the war the thirty-seventh annual ma
tional tennis singles was tremendous
success. In comparison with other ma
tional tournaments Of recent years It
canhot be said that the competition
which closed on Saturday afternoon ap-
preached any records. The fact that
the tournament carried no championship
had its effect on popular interest. on the
work Of soma Of the players and on the
minds Of the officials In charge.
II was the plan Of the committee to
get through with the competition BY
Saturday evening at all hazards, and as
. result II permitted play under condi-
tons which would have precluded any
matches wero there title at stake. In
a normal year Lieut.. Williams and
Nathaniel Niles would not have been
asked to 70 through with their match In
the rainstorm Of last Thursday. Nor
would Robert Lindley Murray and John
r. strachan have gone through with
their thunderstorm clash Of last Friday.
Just what effect the weather had on
the general result is hard to conjec ture.
Some declare that In fair weather will
Jams never would have bowed to Niles.
However. the exhibition Niles put up
against Murray made some think that
Niles would have beaten the national
champion under any conditions.
We are decidedly fortunate in having
10 able and admirable q figure as Muir
ray come through to the top. 1t ID
more than likely that williams in form
or William NJ Johnston would have
done for Murray before the hnal In q
championship tournament Of peace times,
but with all that not one iota OF credit
should be taken from the new leader,
for rs such he must be recognized for
the year despite the fact that William
still is the official champion.
In Murray. American tennis has No
Of whom II Justly can be proud. An
exponent Of the California style OF play
he typifes everything that is wholesome
and admirable In sport Than Murray
we have no more aggressive fighter. In
the final against Niles in the semi-nnal
against StrAchan and in the fourth
round against Craig Biddle. Murray al.
ways lost the opening set. That only
gave him an opportunity to demonstrate
his fighting qualities and the superiority
OF his brand Of tennis. II will be re.
membered that Murray lost the frst two
sets to George NJ. Church in the nationa
singles last year. but at the end Murray
was the winner by three sets to two and
his reputation foe sameness firmly es
tablished.

the decision Of the national association
to adhere to its original pronunciamento
to have no championships this year ex-
cept those for boys and juniors. The
public gave the event far better sup.
port than had been expected. That can
he CLEANED from the fact that In spite
Of the poor weather on Thursday and
Friday more than $4,000 was taken In
At the gate.
The superiority Of the brand Of tennis
played by Miss Mary Browne over that
Of which Miss Molla Bjurstedt Is an ex-
ponent seems to have been fairly estab-
lished. good measure Of the success
the Morse girl has recorded In their
series has been due to her superior
stamina and physique
While on the subject It might be men
toned that a good many followers OF
the sport who have the personal welfare
Of Miss Browne at heart question the
advisability of her continuing with the
matches for the benefit Of the ambulance
fund. Since she came East Miss Browne
has lost more than sixteen pounds-and
she had nothing to spare when she
started. She Is far too game to let
down. but she Is showing the effects OF
the severe regimen she has Imposed on
herself. The day before she went to
Southampton we are told she was so
weak she had to stay in bed all day.
That sort OF thing is bad for the hardi-
est Of male athletes, let along woman.
She deserves vacation of at least q
week, but instead she has started on
the most severe part Of her programme
a series Of two day stands beginning
at Rochester to-day.
The order which forced the abandon
ment Of intercollegiate athletics At An
napolis has been revoked and the Navy
is getting ready to put football team
In the field. Now 1t remains for the
Secretary Of War, who is SO warm an
advocate Of sport, to issue similar Or
der at West Point
There Is no reason why the Govern
mental departments should NOT be con-
sistent in this matter and the army CON
fidently awaits the release OF the
shackles. With the ban on sport at
West Point in force more than half the
zest of competition at Annapolis would
be lost.
The resumption Of sport at West
Point will mean the rescheduling OF the
Army-Navy football game for this city
on Saturday, November "a. This year
an Army Navy game could serve ar
ultra worthy purpose. 1t could be made
to Yield more than 100000 for a wal
fund and could be made the medium fol
the greatest patriotic demonstration o,
the war. We hope that Secretary Baker
will get busy with that order.
