OF C.. C.. N. Y. on Court

Although the opening of the City Col
lege tennis season is some three weeks
off, the Lavender racket-wielders are
not letting up on their training in the
least. The first workout on the turf
is promised for this week, according
to Coach Stair.
The return of Harold Eweit, last
years captain, boosted the Lavender
court stock considerably. 1t was only
a few days ago that it became known
that the rangy tennis star would don
the fannels again.
New York University will be the
first opponent of the College of the
City of New York on the court this
year, according to the schedule given
out yesterday.

France, Great Britain and the other
countries will give us fairly good idea
as to the respective strength of the
competing nations, and by the time the
preliminary rounds for the Davis Cup
begin it will be easier to determine
whether the Davis Cup is to remain in
the possession of Australia through
1919 or if it is to go back to England
OF take journey to France
The possibility that when the Ameri-
can players return to this country in
the summer they will be accompanied
by several of the stars from France and
England, and that these men will COM
pete in our national championships at
Longwood and Forest Hills will be a
tremendous impetus to the game, and
it is to be earnestly hoped that such
will be the case.
W. A. Boys, president of the Ca
madam Lawn Tennis Association, is au-
thority for the statement that Canada
will make a strong effort to revive the
Dominion championships this year. 1t
is planned to hold sectional champion
ship tournaments in each province of
Canada, the winner in each province to
be eligible to compete in the final tour
ney for the Dominion title.
Probably no single country that sent
forth her sons to battle with the Hun
has suffered more staggering blows to
/ the manhood of the nation than Can
ada, and it will no doubt be a difficult
task to get together an aggregation OF
players that will be able to uphold Ca
madam prestige of the past in the game
Yet the great Dominion possesses the
spirit and the determination that wins
and her success in the revival of her
championship Journeys may surprise
many.
Another instance of Canada's deter
mination to Get back into international
competition is afforded by the state
ment OF Walter A. Goss, of Portland
Ore, delegate to the Z. S. N. l.. T. A
from the Pacific Northwest. who has
notified the national association that
the international event with Victoria
and Vancouver is to be played again
this season and probably will be held
at Seattle, beginning August II
Vancouver is to hold its annual
MainlsSd championship, starting July

scheduled its British Columbia title
tourney. Toronto is also to hold a
tournament, starting on June 10, and

away from business, and the amount
of tennis goods sold by the person in
question, as compared with other lines
of goods.
At Fridays meeting the executive
committee reaftirmed this rule, decid-
ing that, now that the world war has
ended, it is time to take this problem
i'll hand and have decision once
for all.
Should this rule be strictly enforced
this season it may mean the barring
from all sanctioned amateur tourna-
ments of some of the greatest players
in the country. There are several men,
including William T. Tilden, I'd, of
Philadelphia, national clay court cham
pion, and Wallace +. Johnson, who are
or have been connected with sporting
goods houses. The executive commit
tee feels that, with the Davis Cup
matches to be renewed in 1920, Amer
lea must come into court with a clean
slate. Surely there is no better time
to clarity the atmosphere than the
present.
The executive committee also issued
a rallying call to the million lawn ten
mis- players of the United States to
join in an effort to repeal the 10 per
cent tax on sporting goods, which is
declared to be unfair, un-American and
excessive. 1t was pointed out that
America is the only country in the
world placing a tax on the exercise
and recreation of the youth of the land.
The committee, in a resolution adj
dressed to the Senate and House,
stated it's position as follows:
eve, the undersigned, executive
committee of the United States Ma
tonal Lawn Tennis Association, on be-
half of lawn tennis players of the
United States, numbering at least one
million, respectfully protest against
the unfair and un-American 10 per
cent levied upon sporting goods.
eve also petition for its annulment,
on the ground that it lays an excess
sive burden on normal exercise and
healthful recreation, both of which are
vital to the well-being of the Ameri-
can people"
Speaking from a Strictly neutral
standpoint, it strikes us that the ex-
ecutive committee is most emphati-
cally right in demanding the annul-
ment of this obnoxious and absurd tax.
Our children can buy their daily al
lotment of chewing gum with only 8
per cent tax added, but they must pay
10 per cent tax if they wish to buy a
tennis racquet or baseball bat or a
swimming suit oy a golf club.

Chill a s'Comeback''
As Major Umpire

Ollie Chill, one of Ban Johnson's
new American League umpires, or
Tatner a comeback in the junior maj or
years back, was once a mighty good
boxer. So he doesn't have to stand
much sass from the players.
Chill did his ring performances un-
der the name of Jack Ryan and hailed
from Indianapolis. He was tall and
exceptionally clever, weighing about
l2S pounds when at his best. He had
three encounters with the late Clarence
Forbes, Of this city, and all of them
were lively combats. He also cam
paigned in the East and through Ohio
and generally was regarded as a high
class rinRster.

Gossip Of the Golfers

The spirit of good fellowship and
comradeship which exists in the
Wheatley Hills Golf Club is respon-
sible for the growth in membership. 1t
is the intention of the board of gov
ernors to cater to the wishes of the
members by not only making the golf
course still more attractive, but also
making the house facilities sufficient
to take care of their needs.
The house committee has given care
full consideration to a number of plans
submitted and has determined, if suf-
Acient interest and support arc shown
among the members, to construct new
mems locker building, with ample pro-
visions for lockers and showers. The
upper story of the old clubhouse is to
be left practically as it is, the space
thus saved by transferring the mems
lockers to the new building being uti-
lized for better quarters for the lady
members and accommodation for the
help. Several plans for financing the
project are now under considerations

The activity of airplanes and sea-
planes used by the United States
navy during the war for overcoming
the submarine menace is one Of the
interesting chapters of history about
which, for tactical reasons" little
has been published to date. Now
that the war has been won. naval
officers are satisfying the wishes Of
interested organizations by describ-
ing and illustrating just what was
done to make Americas participa-
ton in the war so effective.
At the annual meeting of the So
ciety Of Automotive Engineers, in
ardson, l. s. N, presented a highly
instructive paper on the design and
equipment of navy airplanes and
seaplanes. Many members OF the
AutOmotive Engineers society have
been employed in this line of work
during the war and it is expected
that the lessons learned will be
utilized by them in the construction
of aircraft TO be used during peace
times as we'll.
Commander Richardson states that
the comparative inactivity of the
German and Austrian fleets prac-
tically reduced the action of our
seaplanes TO cooperation with the al
lied fleets. Coast stations were es-
tablished in Italy, France. Great

were used as bases of operation from

By United Press:
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-A policy
of governmental economy will come
when republicans take the reins in
congress March 4. republican leaders
declared today.
Progressives and stand-pats are
united on the need for economy
Both have concrete plans to bring
it about.
Progressives want a budget sys-

put a check on pork barrel con-
gressmen who increase appropriation
bills for their own benefit; would
reveal duplication or work of gov
eminent business: make possible re-
duction Of payrolls; put government
accounting on a scientific basis.
House republican and democratic
leaders have agreed TO put a budget
system provision on an appropria-
ton bill this session, so it can be
put into operation at once.
Stand-pats are not hostile to the
principle of budget system, but for
political reasons would let it wait
and by a series Of drastic measures
accomplish economical results other

Gy United Fress

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-The
d-Newberry election contest is
slowing up business in the senate.
An indirect filibuster against cOnsid-
GRAFTON of the Pomerene resolution
for investigation of the rival claims
of Ford and Newberry TO senate
seat has already extended debate on
the postonice appropriation bill for
four days.
Republicans so far have prevented
action. They declare they will fill
buster openly until the end Of the
session, if democrats try to press the
resolution.
The contest is to determine
whether Ford. who ran as a demo-
crat. or Newberry. elected as a re-
publican. shall be seated. Republi-
cans will have a majority of two
with Newberry in. With Ford in
the senate would be a tie.
