NO TENNIS CHARTER
FOR LOCAL DISTRICT
Met Association Will With.
draw Application at Request
of National Officials.
by SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

At the suggestion of the executive
committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association the Metropolitan
It's application for a charter as a ten
mis- section, and will substitute for 1t
a request that a charter bo issued to
include all of New York State and other
territory within a radius of thirty-five
miles of New York city. Jones w.
Mersereau, secretary of the local or
ganization, indicated yesterday that
such undoubtedly would be the decision
of the members of tho metropolitan
executive committee at its next meeting
in January.
The local officials. I'm fact. now ap-
pear to be Just as strongly in favor OF
a State tennis charter as they were
determined upon a separate charter for
tho metropolitan district short time
ago. Two things have been chiefly re-
sponsiblc for the change In attitude.
The first was the discovery that the
tennis clubs up the State were not
working at cross purposes with those
I'm this section, as some had believed /;
that In fact they were seeking tho sup
port and the guidance of the well or
ganized local group; tho second was
tho news that the national executive
committee was opposed TO granting a
charter to city organization on the
ground that aside from setting bad
precedent Il would foster the develop
ment of the stronger sections at the
expense of the weak The national Of
ficials insisted that the loose ends ought
to be gathered up and formed into a
cohesive entity.
Reason Behind AppIfcatin.
In its original request for separate
tennis charter the metropolitan associa-
ton laid stress on the point that the
I interests OF the eighty clubs in the local
district were not Identical with those
up tho State. and that tho other sec
tions were too far removed from the
center of activity TO fit into the or
,ganization.
I'VE did not realizo that tho upstate
clubs were so anxious to have our sup
port" said Mr.. Mersereau yesterday.
that they felt we could be OF any as
sistance to them. Under tho circum-
stances l am sure that every member
OF the metropolitan association viii be
glad to accept the suggestion OF tho
national committee and amend the ap-
p)lcatlon for a charter"
At tho national committee meeting
last Saturday a resolution was drawn
up opposing the granting of charters
to local organizations and making II
clear that tho metropolitan officials
would not have the committees sup
port at the annual tennis convention In
February. The news Of It's action was
withheld until yesterday.
Tho annual national ranking or the
twenty leading men and women players
in the country. OF the ten leading
doubles teams and tho best junior girl
and boy racquet wielders will be made
public on Monday. January 2, according
to the announcement from tennis head
quarters yesterday.

GREB AND WILSON TO
BOX IN THE GARDEN
Champion and Pittsburgher
Matched for Championship
Bout February 6.
BY CHARLES #. MATHrsoN.

Tex Rickard finally has obtained the
signature Of a title holder binding him
to defend his honors in the ring OF
Madison Square Garden. The promoter
and Johnny Wilson yesterday reached
an agreement by the terms OF which
Wilson will meet Harry Greb in a fifteen
round bout on the night of February
6. As the bout will be contested under
the Walker law regulations the boxers
will be required TO weigh $50 pounds at
2 o'clock on the afternoon Of the day
set for the encounter. II the bout lasts
the limit of fifteen rounds there will
be decision on points by the judges.
Rickard declined to make public the
financial feature of the match. but there
Is reason to believe that both boxers
will be we'll paid.
There is no question that Greb will
rule favorite over the title hold er, as
his record is very much better than that
Of Wilson. Although Greb has seldom
scaled more than $50 to 154 pounds he
has fought and defeated light heavy
weights and heavyweighta Charley
Weinert was q recent victim of the
Pittsburgher
Greb Should Make the Weight.
There has been raised the question
Of Greb's ability to make the middle
weight limit of 16o pounds at 2 o'clock.
but there is little doubt as to his ability
to comply with tho rule. Greb was 27
years OF age last June and he stands
feet 8 inches. He has reached his
full growth. and Is not likely to be
hampered as to the weight
Greb's rushing. combative style Of
fighting IS much admired by patrons of
boxing in this city. and there is no doubt
there viii be great turnout to see the
Pittsburgher in his effort to capture
the middleweight title.
Greb already has a good claim on the
light heavyweight championship.

BIRDS AS STREET CLEANERS
Vultures Employed for the Purpose IN

Garbage collectors in Costa Rica en-

lows:

man was abroad on his scavenging
rounds. Ahead of his open wagon
walked In sober platoon four enor-
nous vultures, all in sable and main
tanning the chastened demeanor of I'M
dertakers at an open grave. Behind
the wagon walked half a dozen other
vultures similarly sedate. And around
the rim of the cart, percbed I'm sol

worthy and asked him how he was
feeling, and he scOwled at me and
said it was none of my business and
minated that I'd have more friends
If / wouldn't always be butting in.
Had l been given to jumping to con-
illusions, like you, I'd have insisted
that GOOScwOrthy was a crank whose
head should be bathed in harness oil.
But I said to myself that the old man
must have some trouble on his mind,
which led him to forget the ordinary
bylaws and regulations of the game
Of etiquette, and before l had gone
block l met Farthingdale, who asked
me If | had hear about GOoSewOrthy.
The old man bought a new auto
mobile yesterday said Farthingale,
and before he had owned it an hour
he ran it into a tree and crumpled it
all up, so 1t wouldn't have fetched 50
at the junk yard
"Then / was glad that hadn't set
Gooseworthy down as confirmed sore
head. You may not know it, but Ker-
smith was moving from one house to
another yesterday, and that job will
ruin the disposition of the most en-
thusiastic optimist in the world. I'm
less you have moved, you don't know
what a nerve racking experience is.
"When / was younger l used to be
moving pretty often, having discovered,
after much observation and research,
that 1t was cheaper than paying rent.
The moving itself is bad enough, but
your experiences after the job is done
fairly drive you frantic. You can't
find anything you want for month
afterwards. About a thousand things
seem 10 be lost for keeps, but they
come bobbing up in the most unex-
pected places. You find your tooth
brush in the toe of a slipper, and
your watch in a jar Of sauerkraut,
and your Sunday neCktie in a stuffed
dog. When you put on your Sunday
hat. you find 1t half full of carpet
rags. There never was such a dog
gone business, and l hold that the
man who can move, and still smile a
sanity smile, is vet to be born.
"FcatherIy IS one Of the sunniest
men | ever knew. His face just fair
ly radiates with happiness, so it would
warm up an average room quicker

PLANT SUPERSTITI0NS

When drops of water hang on the
leaves of plants, they will soon bloom.
If a house plant suddenly wlthers 1t
is a sign that some one will soon die in
the room.
If a person purchase a plant that
another person intended to buy, it will
wither and die.
If Sips are cut from plants with
shears, they will rot live. They must
be broken off to do well.
Count the blossoms on your favorite
plant. If they are odd, you will have
no enemies, but if even you have at
least one.
When you free your plants or shrubs
of broken twigs and dead leaves, never
burn them, as it will make the plants
sick and probably cause them to
wither away.
If you pick up a shrub or plant of
any kind after it has been discarded
by some one else and the plant grows,
it is said to mean certain old age to
you,
Old wives, when gathering herbs for
their salves and simpleS, were wont to
judge of their luck during the year by
the facility with which they found the
desired plants.
If plants received as gifts grow and
flourish, it is a sign that the giver is a
true and faithful friend, but if they
wither and refuse to grow, the giyer
is false and an enemy.
