MORE CHANGES
 IN TENNIS SCHEDULES
War Is Responsible for These Sweep
 ing Changes.

1 War is responsible for sweeping
 changes in the schedule of lawn ten
 his tournaments. Edwin F. Torrey,
 secretary of the national association, 1 has announced that the historic New
 York state championship had been i, abandoned. In Its place a two-days' ! round robin series will be contested at l the Yahnundasis Golf club. Utica, N. 1 Y, next Friday and Saturday, July | 20 and 21
 1 In an effort to bring about a rep | resentative tournament which would | bring out many of the top class men, perhaps for the last time on Ameri- | can courts, George T. Adee last week decided upon the cancellation of the classic scheduled for the turf of the Casino at Newport, R. | In it's place
 a special competition will be held on the field of the West Side Tennis club, to begin Monday, Aug. 20. This de cision may also cause the cancella- ton of the doubles tournament at
 Longwood the preceding week. The
 historic Longwood singles, one of the
 greatest of American fixtures, has all
 ready been cancelled.
 The projected tournament for the
 West Side club Is to secure funds for
 the ambulance unit which the United States National Lawn Tennis asso- citation is to donate to the Red Cross. It is expected that R. Norris Williams
 2d, the national champion, now at the Plattsburg training camp; Clarence J. Griffin, Watson M. Washburn, Willis B. Davis and Dean Mathey vii be among the competitors. with such To- cal talent may be mustered. In ad- dition there will be a special match between Miss Mary K. Browne. the California girl who formerly held the national title, and Miss Molla BjUrs- tedt. A the time the latter visited California in the spring Miss Browne outplayed her rival with ease.
 Approximately half of the tourna- ments originally scheduled have been cancelled. The meeting at the Wood mere Country club, Long Island. and the Middle States patriotic singles and doubles at the Crescent Athletic club next week are to be contested. The latter promises to have a big entry list.
