Plan Advocated by Myrick
Would Give Large Clubs
More influence
BY Fred Hawthorne

Now that the threatened discord
over the election Of officers Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association for 1913 mas been smoothed
out and harmony once more reigns, it
is probable that other matters upon
which there has heretofore existed a
decided difference Of opinion between
certain factions in The association will
also be settled in a satisfactory man
ner. Recently both sides have shown
a commcndable disposition to get to-
gether" for the good OF the game,
burying all differences Of the past.
Some weeks ago in this column we
gave an outline Of l.. II. Waidner's
IDEAS for the equalization Of voting
power in the association. AIR. Wald
ner. who IS the president Of the West
ern Association, advocated a system of
voting through eleven sectional dele
gates, claiming that this plan has
worked out admirably in actual opera
ton and has done much for Lawn ten
mis- in the sections where the plan has
been tried.
Julian S. Myrick. vice-president Of
the United States National Lawn Ten
mis- Association, in at interview yes
terday presented his ideas as to what
constituted perfect equalization Of
voting power. The system advocated
seems to follow somewhat along the
same lines used IN the Electoral Col
legp at Washington by which the Pres
ident is elected.
Speaking on this subject, Mr.. Myrlck
said "While in California last spring
! outlined To Or. Sumner Hardy plan
which had come to my mind, ana ne
seemed TO be fayorably impressed with
it. The principle involved, that every
one ia trying to make effective. Is tina.
the strength Of the voting power
should follow the tennis population.
"It has long been observed thnt 81

Motor RACING
Season Starts
Memorial Day

Devotees OF automobile speed racing
are not to be denied their favorite di-
version this year. Plans were COM
pleted last night for the holding of a
series Of championship events this sea-
son at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway
by William H. Wellman, who conduct
ed races at the track last year. The
first date probably will be Memorial
Day, Thursday, May 80, with a crack
field of American and European start
ers.
1t is planned to hold three meets
during the year. The final and feature
event of the season will be the Hark-
ness Cup classic, which drew over
IS 900 people to the Bay last Septem-
Der. The distance will be announced
later for the first contest. Louis Chev-
rolet, who won the Hardness Cup last
season, probably will be one of the
starters this yea-
Ralph De Palma. the snort distance
speed king and holder of the world
six-hour record. will renew his racing
feud with Chevrolet. Dario Resta, who
emerged from retirement for one race
in 1917, is itching to get back into the
game again
Johnny Aitken. runner-up to Resta
IN 1916, has signitied his intention of
starting again this year. Ira Vail and
Ralph milford, the Brooklyn repre-
sentatives, are getting their cars
ready. and Gil Anderson, Eddie Hearne.
Earl Cooper and a score of other
lesser lights will be seen chasing the
gold and glory.
Four European stars will brave the
U-boats to compete on American tracks
this year. They are Rene Thomas.
Jean Chassagne, Arthur Duray and Al
bert Guyot. This quartet has not
raced in America for several seasons,
but all of them have regulations that
put them in the front rank.
The popular priced policy that was
insugurated by Promoter Welman last
year will again prevail. The approval
of this plan that was voiced by the
large attendance at the two meetings
last year doomed forever the high
priced schedule.
Numerous aviation features will also
be introduced. Ruth Law, Katherine
Stinson. De Lloyd Thompson and Jean
Domenjoz will be seen during the sea-
son in contests and exhibitions.

Now, then East and West, get to-

Junior lawn tennis is in for another
healthy boost, this time in BROOKLYN.
and the movement, to be sponsored by
the Terrace Club, of Flatbush. will do
much TO advance the game and develop
the quality of play among our younger
set. 1t is Just these generous actions
on the part Of the lawn tennis clubs
in the metropolitan district that are
impetus 1t has ever received.
The Terrace Club, which has a dozen
or more most excellent clay courts at
Avenue j and East Fifteenth Street,
Flatbush, at its annual meeting on
March II is going to put through IA
pIan for the taking into mem bersh p
of fifty selected junior players be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and twenty
years, resident in Brooklyn and the
outlying districts. These boys will be
entitled to Il special junior rate, with
the privilege Of playing on the courts
from April ! to October 81 each sea-
son.
Not satisfied with this. the Terrace
CUB is making arrangements to hold
q continuous series Of tournaments for
the Juniors throughout The season. all
OF which means that Brooklyn will oc-
cupy Il prominent place on the courts
before another seuson fits by. Boys
like Harold Taylor, Gerald jr.. and Ce-
ell Donaldson and Percy Kynaston, to
mention only 81 few, are certain to re-
pay such attention from the Terrace
Club by the splendid showing they will
make in competition. We hope the idea
becomes national in scope.
