Norris Williams I'd, who was champion
in 1914 and 1916. With them must be
counted William T. T,lden I'd, formerly
clay court champion and runner Up to
Murray last year, and a host of others.
Among the contenders must be mem
toned Maurice e. Mclaughlin, who WAS
title holder in 1919 and 1913, and will
take another crack at II this year: Fred

Willis +. Davis, s. Howard Voshell,

Charles S. Garland and a number of 9TH
ers whose claims are not to be ignored.
There has seldom been a season In which
1t was so hard to pick a winner. BY
the first OF August some one usually is
well on his way to first place. but the
influence OF the war Is seen in the array
OF youngsters and veterans who are con-
tenping for honors with the men who
ranked at the top couple OF years ago.
Interest In the event Is indicated by
the applications for tickets which are be-
ing received by Harry Parker, treasured.
10l Park avenue, New York city. Seats
for 1000 have been provided, and season
tickets will be sold until August 90 Sin
gle day tickets are sold only at the
grounds on the day OF play. The Ma
tional Tennis Umpires Association has
plans to handle this part of the tour
pament in a manner to surpass all pre-
vious records.
Among the thousands of spectators
who will witness the national champion
ships there will be few TO realize the
amount of detailed preparation involved
In the successful holding of such an
event The mere matter of the entry
cannot be ignored. for with the qualifica-
tions set up as u requisite of the players
who compete for this title, there are A
number Of, points that must be given
attention.
The United States preceded the Eng
lish In changing the championship from
wide open AFFAIR, but even the English
had toNmodify the all comers feature and
had committee to pass on entries at
Wimbledon this year. Otherwise they
would have been swamped with entries
whom they designate as 'rabbits"-play-
ers who do we'll enough but who have
no chance to win the tournament and
drag 1t out to an unwieldy length.
The u s. N. l.. T. A. three years ago
established qualifications under which
the committee hopes to keep the entries
to 1913 and thus complete the play In
seven days. Entries are accepted from
players who have been ranked within
the past five years or have ever been
ranked in the first twenty: or who
within three years have been semi final
lists or better in two sanctioned tourna-
ments: or who In the current season
have made a reasonably good record
in three sanctioned tournaments; or
those whose entry is acceptable by rea-
son ''of residence in foreign countries,
promise OF skill or other circumstances
deemed sufficient to cause exceptions in
their cases."

By r. F. FOSTER.

A good deal of space in all our text
books is devoted to bids that are based
upon preceding bids, but very little to
those that are biased on bids which are
not made. The silence of the partner
after a bid Is one part Of this subject F;
the silence of the opponents is another; ;
but the silence Of the partner who has
the first say is overlooked.
1t is apparently obvious to the\yeriest
beginner that II her partner bids a club.
he has club bid but II does not seem
to be equally clear that II her partner
passes up an opportunity to make free
bid. he has not enough In his hand
to Justify declaration.
What does this inability to make q
bid mean? The, conventional bid is on
four values or two sure triclts, nine
times out of ten. The exceptions are
when the two sure tricks are In n major
suit that is too short TO declare. There
fore II may be get down as a safe rule
that nine times out of ten when the
dealer passes he has not two tricks In
his hand
II Is rather curious that there should
be no difficulty in inferring at least two
sure tricks in the hand that makes a
bid but apparently the greatest DIM
Guilty in inferring less than two tricks
when there is no bid forthcoming. The
important part aS this Inference is the
influence It should have on the bidding
by third hand.
There are two situations In which this
inability to gauge the situation is contin-
ually In evidence. The first Is bidding
no trumpers third hand when the dealer
has passed. The second is doubling an
opponent TO get bid out of a partner
who has already announced that he has
nothing worth bidding on. II he has a
good secondary bid in his hand he will
make 1t in his own turn, without being
pushed to It.
The first situation is very common.
With eight tricks in his own hand, the
third bidder may go no trumps II he
likes: but when he must find at least
four tricks in his partners hand to go
game, although that partner has alreatly
announced. by passing. that he has not
two even, is pure optimism.
A more exaggerated form of this error
Is to go to no trumps when the partner
has not only passed but second hand ha s
made a bid. Here Is a deal that went
the rounds OF duplicate game last win
ter which illustrates the error in a stril-
ing way and brings UP an instructive end

POLO WITH BRITONS
NOT LIKELY IN 1920
England Does Not Look for
International Cup Matches
for Two Years.

LONDON, July 30.-Engl'sh followers
of polo are highly gratified TO learn
that the American Polo Association will
not challenge for the International Cup
until 1t hears from the Hurlingham
Club that England is ready for such a
call. Says the Times:
1t is satisfactory that In spite OF
various Inducements to the contrary
the defenders have wisely decided TO
avail themselves of this friendly for
bearance on the part OF the Americans,
and have intimated that they will not
be ready to play a series of test matches
before 1921.
1t is understood that they have been
guided toward this policy by their pres
ident. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig.
whose sound judgment has been alto
gether adverse TO a contest next year,
and thereby has placed both English
polo and the Hurlingham Club In his
debt
The revival of what is. for those who
are In position TO play II, the finest OF
all adopted Anglo-Saxon games, could
have no stronger stimulus than the op-
portunity OF assisting In the defence of
the cup by the old country. To be
thoroughly and efficiently organized in
its various departments, this defence
must be taken In hand at once. It is a
pleasing variance from our usual happy
go-lucky policy OF letting things slide
In the comfortable fallacy, borrowed
from private theatricals, that 'it will
all come right on the night" that the
powers that be. at headquarters, seem
to be alive TO the need of getting to
work promptly.
Many important things haye to be
put In train. The purchase of really
suitable ponies their stabling and keep,
the enlargement of the Hurlingham
egounds and the putting up OF adequate
stands; the selection OF players. their
training and trying out these matters
demand not only money but mind, d.
rection and control
AS regards players. too II may now
be confidently hoped that many Of our
most promising men will be returning
homs >very shortly. Next summer viii
see back on our polo grounds an increas-
ing number of aspirants to the honor OF
place in the English team.
They will be better able than most 10
appreciate that worthily to earn this
distinction entails a great deal OF hard
| work and self-den.ai. Provided that
| there is no waste at all of the respite
which our opponents have chivalrously
allowed US. the cup should stay in this
country the year after next-and longer
