known whether he will defend.
News Of interest emanates from
California. 1t divulges that Miss
Helen Baker. the California woman's
champion, and Carl Gardner. who
may try a come back" likely will
come east to play this summer.
Tennis observers in California believe
Miss Baker can beat any woman
player in the country, with the ex-
ception of Miss Molla Bjurstedt. Miss
Mary X. Browne. whom is sought to
have return to competition, and Mrs.
May Sutton Bundy.
Reports that William NJ Johnston,
national champion in 1915, is to re-
tire permanently from the game and
remain in the Navy are contradicted.
On the other hand. it is said that
Johnston is very anxious to get out
Of the service, now that there is no
further chance for action Once-out,
it is a cinch that Johnston will again
seek honors on the courts.
It now looks as If Molla Bjurstedt
will not go abroad this summer and
fors8ke her American tennis title. It
was generally understood that the
Morse girl would go to England in
June to compete for the British cham
pionship. She has not said that she
will not but stated the other day
that she did not intend TO visit Nor
way. It is hardly likely that Miss
Bjurstedt would go to England and
then fail to make the trip to her

sirable but almost imperative.
In formulating a uniform code it
will be found necessary to clarity

has looked askance at some of our
definitions of amateurism; France,
Australia, Canada and Belgium have
accepted matters as they stand. but
the United States has often found it
different ~shadings'' of the British
definition as to what constitutes an
amateur. Such a situation is not for
the good Of the game and should have
been adjusted years ago.
