Permission Granted for
Erection of 10000
Seats at Forest Hills

When the United States defends the
historic Davis Cup in the challenge
round of the international lawn tennis
matches at the West Side Tennis Club
of Forest Hills, the players engaged
will be performing before. the greatest
crowd that ever witnessed a tennis
match.
This was made clear yesterday when
the executive committee Of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association an
nounced that it had granted authority
to the Davis Cup Committee to provide
seating arrangements for between
$4,000 and $4,000 persons at the West
Side Tennis Club during the three days
of play, September 2, 3 and 5.
This was only one Of the many mat
tcrs decided upon yesterday at the
Hotel Vanderbilt. The executive com
mittee ratified the tournament sched-
rle for the season Of 1921, comprising
over 200 sanctioned tournaments in
all parts Of the country, and a list

Full Tournament List Soon
II win be noticed that the week Of
August 5 already presents a most seri-
Gus conflict of dates. for the women's
national and the Southampton tourna-
ment arc both scheduled for that week.
Added to this, it is more than possible
that the Davis Cup match at Newport
will fall in this week. Had the SEIZED
ule committee moved the schedule for
ward week. beginning with the last
two weeks in July, this might have
been avoided.
Those present at yesterdays meeting
announced that the full list Of tourna-
mcnts will probably be given out for
publication within the next two weeks.
