TILDEN WANTS
 NEW METHOD
 FOR DRAWINGS

Boston Aug. 24-William T. Tilden End, world champion tennis player, thinks the best method of determining opponents in the first round of na- tional lawn tennis championship tour naments is all wrong. In his opinion the matter should not be left to the luck of a blind draw. Too much, he says, is now left to chance Should the present system be continued-and he expressed the belief that it would not-he predicted that a second rate player would some day hold the na- tional title after players of first rank, thrown together by a topheavy draw, had killed each other off while the second rater was having an easy time wading through lesser opponents.
 Tilden, who is playing in the na- tional doubles championships at the Longwood Cricket Club after a rest of several weeks, pointed to the re- cent national women's singles title in the early rounds, as an instance of the manner in which the present sys- tenn often works out.
 Instead Of the blind draw" he said, T would have the draw made in a systematic way. The the number 1 and number 2 players and put them on opposite sides. Then take number and number 4. and number and number 6, and then put them in oppos- ing halves, dra awing for the respective places, perhaps. The same process the first ten ranking players. Others could be sandwiched between"
 Out of such a draw would come competition that in it's results, Ti1den thought would be fairer working put of a championship.

Germans Declare Mandate Exploiters of Pacific Island Are Not Playing Fair.

Berlin, Aug. 24-German phos- phate magnates are looking with anxious eyes at the British exploita- hion of the Island of Nauru, below the equator, directly south of the Marshall Islands. The island pos sesses one of the earth's richest pho phate deposits, valued at approxi- nately S1,250, ,000,Oo0
 Under the treaty of Versailles the island was taken from Germany and placed under a British mandate. A year ago the governments of Austra- lia, New Zealand and London made an agreement to exploit the island and to sell phosphate to these countries at cost price, whereas other inn porters will be charged the world price.

BARNES SUGGESTS MORE
 SLOPING GREENS ON LINKS

Nobody thinks more or better about this game of golf than our open champion, Jim Barnes. The Pelham star is one of the most observing players in the business. Barnes re- gently was discussing golf courses. Undoubtedly they. are better today than they used to be-" he said, but there is one thing I would like to see added, and that is longer carries from the tee.
 "If you stand on a tee and see trap across the fairway about couple of hundred yards out you have a desire to lay into the ball, and l think that is an aid in driving. The greens on most courses today are we'll enough trapped, but I would like to see more greens that slope away This kind requires real golf shot such as we seldom see in this coun- try.

Auxiliaries of n. Y.
Will Have Caucus
Early Next Month
With 232 Such Units, De-
partment Leads Rest of
States; Convention Will
Be Held i'm This CITY

Auxiliaries in the Department Of New
York row number 232, according to
Miss Ray G. Sawyer, chairman of the
State Auxiliary Committee, and the
probability is that this state will go to
the national convention not only with
the largest number Of legionnaires but
leading in the number Of auxiliary
members.
Before the national convention Of
the auxiliary is held, however, this
state will have an auxiliary caucus of
its own. 1t will be held in this city
some time In October. Miss Sawyer
is negotiating for an auditorium and
will set date as soon as one Is Sc
lected. Only such auxiliaries as are
chartered Will be permitted to partici-
pate IN the caucus, which is to choose
delegates for the national conference
at Kansas City, which will be held in
conjunction with the legion,s annual
convention
In bulletin issued by the chair
man of the Auxiliary Committee, de-
tails of the proposed caucus are dis
cussed. The bulletin follows:
THE National Executive Committee
OF the American Legion has called the
f1rst annual convention Of Auxiliarfes
for November / and 2, at Kansas City,
when the national organization of aux
iiiartes will be effected, national officers
elected and definite policy decided
upon for the future of the auxiliaries.
I'm order that the Department Of
New York may take an active pa& in
the moulding and development of a
permanent organization of auxiliaries,
permission has been granted by Com
mander Blakeslee for New York con-
vention of auxiliaries, which will take
place early in October.
CAS- represe tior at the national
convention will be based on paid-up
membership as of September 80, repre-
sentation at our state convention will
also be on that same basis. Attention,
however, is called to the fact that only
such auxiliaries as are chartered will be
permitted to participate and that repre-
sentation will be based on one delegate
for the first ten members and one ad-
ditional delegate for each additional
fifty paid-up members, or major frac-
ton thereof Call for the state con-
ventions of auxiliaries will go forward
to auxiliaries in the next few days.
"If your post has not organized an
auxiliary, why not do so now, so that
your post may have proper representa-
ton at the convention? We have 232
auxiliary, who not do so now. SO that
head the list of auxiliaries in the United
States. We should also increase our
membership between now and September
80, in order that New York State may
go to Kansas City with the largest dele
CATION, to match up with the Legion del
egation, which still maintains highest
honors with the largest delegation, larg-
est number of posts and largest paid-up
membership"
