tennis, their work during the last few
years will not have been in vain, for it
is chiefly due to their untiring interest
and work among the boys that players
are developing who are certain to reach
Of national tennisdom.
Many New Courts
The growth Of tennis in Philadelphia
can be seen in many ways. Automobile
drives in the outlying districts and in
suburban sections show that hundreds
of courts have been built within the last
year scores of neighborhood clubs have
been formed and thousands are begin
ming to play who never knew before
whether the game was played with a
return of the A. II. +. from France
clubs that have been very shy on mem
bership since 1917 have not only re
gained their former strength, but have
forged far ahead of their old rosters.
Notable among these combats are the
West Walnut Street Association, at
Fiftieth and SAMSON streets, and the
Bethany Club at Fifty fourth and Lo-
Gust streets.
Nationally tennis received a great
boom when the quartet of Australia
SLAMS, Brooks, Thomas, Lycett and
Patterson came to this country and
participated in several tournaments
preliminary to the nationals at Forest
Hills, then playing series of exhibi
tion matches in the West after the For
est Hills meet. The play of the veteran
Brookes and Gerald Patterson, the
young Australian who captured the
British title, was of such that they
won the American doubles crown and
made a remarkable showing at singles
play in the tournament that boasted the
greatest number of high grade players
that the tennis world has ever seen.
Deserve High Rating
Brookes was eliminated by Bill Til
den in the national singles after
several spectacular victories, and Pat
terson fell before the worlds premier
volleyer, Billy Johnston. Both of these
Australians should have been placed
high in the First Ten, but for some
unknown reason the ranking committee
failed to give them any rating ut alk
Although the most optimistic tennis
follower could not wish for a better
season than 1919, there was one miser
able feature-the work of the ranking
committee. The committee adopted the
mathematical system that fails utterly
to give just status to the players.
However, tennis is played on the court
and the ranking or aftermath feature of
the season really causes no more furry
than the official batting and fielding
averages of the major baseball leagues,
which are issued long after the cam
paigns have closed.
The growth of tennis in 1919. great
as it was, is certain to be outstripped
by the new year, barring further ma
tional calamities.

Wilson Opposes Ciping
Out Treaty Test No,u

PARIS, May 20.-There has been no
change in the decision of the peace
conference leaders not to make public
at present the text of the peace treaty
presented to the Germans, notwith-
standing demands for its publication
from some quarters.
1t is understood the chief opposition
to making the treaty public comes from
Premier Lloyd George. His objection
to the publication, which found early
expression, was later approved by
President Wilson. The demand Of the
French Chamber of Deputies to see the
treaty, however, led Foreign Minister
Pichon to obtain a tentative agreement
for the publication of the financial and
territorial sections last Saturday, sub
ject to Mr.. Lloyd Georges approval on
his return from Fontainebleau, but
when the British Premier returned he
declined to give his approval to the
plan. AS the other members of the
council did not wish to act without his
assent the idea of the publication
was Abandoned

The "Russkaiya Armia" announces
that the general staff has received in
formation that uprisings have been of
frequent occurrence in Kazan in the

sons for believing that prisoners Of

especially active in these uprisings.

LONDON, May 2o.-The proposed
visit to England of General Pershing
the American commander in chief, has
been indefinitely postponed. 1t is in
ferred here that this postponement is
due to the official view that it woulc.
be inadvsable for the commander to
leave the Rhine until the Germans had
signed the peace treaty.
Announcement of the postponemcnt
OF General Pershing's visit was made
by the War Office. The announcement
stated that owing to the uncertainty
of the German attitude regarding the
peace terms and the military situation
thus created, it had become impossible
for General Pershing to leave France
at this moment for his visit to London.
The whole programme that had been
arranged for the generals entertain
ment ultimately would be carried out.

being would have to be indefinitely

The reply recalls that the Germans
