GREAT BOOM|sDUE
FOR TENNIS IN 1919
National Association Aiming
for More and Bigger Tour
neys Than Ever Before.

Never in all history of lawn tennis
or the American courts has the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion issued an official statement so
sweeping as that made by the executive
committee recently. Without reserva-
tiors, it boldly stated that its deter
mination and energies were to be di
rected to making the season of 1919
the most active that this country had
ever known.
In all of the stress of the past few
years many of the followers of the
courts in this country have lost sight
of the fact that it was the splendid
spirit of carry on" developed among
tle women, the veterans and the juniors
that was keeping the fires of lawn
tennis interest brightly burning. The
United States is the only nation in
which the national and other cham
pionship tournaments Iapsed only one
year
Wisdom to Be Rewarded.
The wisdom that kept the game
moving despite many and varied mo-
ments of discoura cement now pre-
pares to receive its reward. The
ranks are filled with able and eager
youngsters. as the recent ranking list
proved. 1t is not overstating poss =
biIities to believe that these, in
greater numbers and brilliancy than
was dreamed possible a few years ago,
may crowd some of the top ten veter-
ans before the grass again withers
upon the soil of the courts
Possessing a full sense of the posi-
ton that American lawn tennis occu-
pies in reviving the game, the officials
of the National Association have moved
than ever before. All of the clubs Of
the country have been notified as fol-
lows:
1T is planned to make the thirty
eighth national championship the
greatest of all these meetings. BY
August, when it will probably be held,
it is thought that practically all of the
players now in the service, whether
overseas or in this country. will have
returned to civilian life and be in the
game again. Few of the men partici-
pated in the 1918 meetings, and some
of them have not been seen in com
petition since 1916. when the season
reached it's climax with the ever men,
orable match between r. n. Williams,
I'd, and w. NJ. Johnston, which gave
the championship to the former. 1t is
confidently expected that the thirty
eighth championship will be thor
oughly representative, each section
of the country sending to 1t its best
men.

Record Galleries Expected.

'An opportunity will thus be afford
ed to compare the veterans of the
game with the eager thronging
youngsters upon whom the future
greatness Of lawn tennis depends.
With the entry list of exceptional
class and the inclusion in the meeting
of junior and boys. veterans and faith
er and SON championships, it is be-
lieved that public interest will be so
great that record breaking galleries
will be present at next summer 8
meetings"
There is even more. The coming sea-
son will lay the foundation of the
team that is to regain the Davis in
ternatiopal challenge cup for this ma
ton. There is every prospect that 1t
will stand as one of the greatest of
the years in the history of the game
upon the American courts.

A TRIBUTE
TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
BY Leon r. Harris

He stood on the rear of the special
train,
Where the eyes OF the world could
see:
a man strong of body and heart and
brain;
4 prophet Of Destiny
The folk Of the free Kentucky hills
Cheered wildly and grasped his hand
And the grip he gave was the grip
that thrills
His smile they could understand
0. who was there in that friendly
crowd
More friendly or robler than he;
Or who with a greater love endowed
For his land and its liberty.
The force Of Fame and the gifts OF
gold
He held these as nothing, when
Compared with his power to have and
hold
The love of his fellow men.
The folk Of the hills pressed closer
round,
The cheering was long and loud;
But who is the one his eyes have
found
Al the rim Of the seething crowd?
It's an aged woman, worn with toll,
Her features so kind and mild;
Her skin the hue of the Black belt"
soil,
And in her arms. "a child.
Make way for that woman, men," he
cried,
For that colored woman there
a way through the crowd was opened
wide
AS she slowly walked to the stair.
He stopped and grasped her Wrinkled
hand,
And smiled at the baby boy,
And the little heart could understand
For he croWed and jumped for JOY.
Then lifting the child in his brawny
arms,
He held it where all could see
The folk of the bluegrass hills and
farms
GaZed a them eXpeCtantly,-
All, the words he said were the words
that prove
The highest worth Of the mani
My friends. | hold here the markings
real American"
The man and the boy have passed
away
From the hills they gazed upon.
One sleeps meath the stars at Oyster
Bay,
And one in the French Argonne
But both still live in the Nations

That the Flag of Freedom spans,
For both to the end bore their honest
part
