cement court at Columbia Country
Club.
It has been definitely decided that
ten new federal courts will be built
this season. They will be in the
vicinity of 18th and 3 streets north
west Five will be located on the
municipal bathing pool. Their con-
struction comes under the supervision
of the Office of public buildings and

With Columbia Country Club prac-
tically sure of being awarded the
middle Atlantic championship sec
tional doubles tournament, specula-
ton has begun as to who Connie
Doyle will pair with for the event.
Nothing has been heard directly from
Henry Breek, who is a lieutenant in
the Army and who shared with Doyle
in winning the 1916 title. It is doubt
full whether "Rol" Doyle will again
take up the partnership on the courts
with his younger brother He saws
he feels as if he must resume the
game in order to rid himself of some
surplus weight, but whether he will
return to serious competition is
the best pair in the south for many
years.
1t is not necessary under the sec
tional doubles plan for players to be
mem bers of the section in which the
tournament is held in order to COM
pete. Players may compete in as many
sections as they desire, but it hardly
is likely that racketers who are in
clined to rove would play for another
sectional title after having won one.

May Sign All Over Again.

According to certain interested legal
lights, the contract for the S127. 500
Willard Dempsey imbroglio, recently
drawn, signed and sealed, binds neither
the boxers nor the promoter, having
been framed in New York, in viola
tion of sundry sections of the penal
code of the Empire state. although
signed elsewhere. To avoid the pos
sibility of arrest and prosecution for
infraction of the divers clauses on
the statute books. the principals may
have to declare the existing contract
void, conceive" the match and go
through the business of signing all
over again al some point not included
in the boundaries of New York state.
No decision as yet has been reached
regarding a site for the battle. Pro-
moter Richard has been flooded with
requests and offers from various sec
tions of the country. He intends to
look over all available locations and
take his time about arranging for
this all-important point. Right now
Nevada would seem to have the call,
the state being ready to restore box
ing for the first time since the JEFF
affair. But Nevada is
far removed from the fields of big
finance and railroad rates are high.
so Rickard is expected to wait and
see if he can't pitch the ring little
nearer State street or Broadway.

Work Interrupted by War.
Work had actually started on the

declared. Work stopped and the land,
about ninety-eight acres in all, was
turned over to the Boy Scouts to use
as an experimental farm for corn
planting. Their farm has been very
successful, too. and no one, much less
golfers, begrudges the use of the tract
for this purpose. Ross was in Wash

The benefits Of such public course

amply demonstrated in other en-

developed on one course. that in Jack

have grown older, have not as rule
