CHAMPION RACQUET
Z. JOURNEYS ATTRACTIVE
(By United Press. }


New York, Oct. 8.-National ten
mis- championship matches used to be
considered somewhat as lone of those
things that have to be-" TO the or
binary sport clientele, they were
"bloomers." Promoters of matches
had to scout around for a stage
where they thought the event might
be an attraction.
Now it's different. Cities are
fighting for the privilege of enter
tanning the champion racquet WELD
ers. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
several other prominent central and
western towns want the western
towns want the 1920 matches.
The 1919 championship tourna-
nient at Forest Hills, L. l., was the
best in the history Of that sport
which is only lately taking it's real
place with lovers of action. Ten
thousand spectators at a tennis
match would have provoked the old
timers to laughter but the West Side
Tennis club set that mark. One of
the most convincing arguments of
the hold which tennis is getting on
the nation was evidenced by the
large percentage of the common
people,"
The record attendance at all the
matches may have been caused by
the wave of popularity which has
swept all sports to the front since the
cessation of hostilities. But it is
due more to the efforts of the West
Side club to remove the false notion
that tennis was high brow" game
AS long as the championship matches
were held at Newport and hailed as
the society event Of the year among
the blue bloods'' the best element of
the sporting public-the ones whose
support makes all sport go, were
denied the opportunity of seeing
what real virile sport tennis really
is.
Removal of the stage from New
port to Forest Hills put the tourna-
ment within reach of the sport low
ing class and the success of the VEN
ture was proved from the start.
The West Side club wants the
matches next year at Forest Hills
but the club officials have declared
willingness to let some other city
have it if the change will help the
sport.

Urges Value Of Beechnut.

A writer in the Chicago Daily News
makes a plea for the beechnut. A
high-grade quality Of this nut might
easily be made a delicious article Of
food. The beech tree, well grown, is
an object Of great beauty. In Europe
extensive avenues Of them are found,
and the fruit carefully conserved.
Many township could easily handle
along it's roadsides 10000 noble
beeches and as many hickories, not to
speak of large sprinkling Of other
nut trees and shrubs, all of them large
ly taking care of themselves. Each
town or county could have its own
nursery for fostering high grade Of
nut trees and shrubs.
