ile WAS drawn up by Paul Williams,
isld secretary. Williams. in giving
nut this arrangement Of dates, empha-
iixed the fact that it was not to be re-
sarded as final, being liable to change.
Considering it in that light, the an
ieuncement, nevertheless, is VI more
iced that, besides the shifting in dates
- scheduled last year, there are also
several surprising changes in the venue
II the tournaments.
The schedule, beginning with the
seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Clubs annual invitation affair on Au-
Just I. is as follows:
August Invitation tournament.
seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Club.
August s-lnvitation tournament Of
he Newport Casino.
August 15-Invitation tournament Of
he Meadow Club. of Southampton.
August 22-Men's national doubles
championship. West Side Tennis Club.
August 29-W0men's national cham-
,ionships, Longwood Cricket Club.
September 3-Davis CUP matches
Challenge roundD, West Side Tennis
September 12-Men's nation., .,rg,.s
championship. Germantown Cricket
Club. Philadelphia.
The Seabright club holds it's usual
late, the first week of August snd
his year the tourney, because Of the
ong series of important Journeys that
re 60 NIL out the remainder of the sea
on; taxes on added interest, for it is
ikeIy 20 attract an unusually fine entrv.
Newport Keeps Date
Newport will also keep to its original
'ase' with the promise Of an even more
representative entry than graced the
lists last summer, when the Casino
tagged one Of the best tournaments of
he season.
The Meadow Club, Of Southampton.
las been moved forward a week. and
SHOULD be the gamer thereby, since
wlii not have. to contend, as for
RATIONAL singles the following week
other years the top men have de-
'oted the week Of the Southampton
Quincy to resting up for the national
Singles, rather than run risk of going
tale on the eve Of the seasons most
important fixture. Now, with the
mems national doubles at the West
,ide Club coming the following week
ne players who are grooming them
elves for the singles will feel Justified
competing at Southampton.
The transferring of the mems
loubies from Longwood to Forest Hills
certain to bolster up this event ma
'eriaily, since there has never been
complete satisfaction with the arrange
nents in Boston. The West Side CInh
will conduct the tourney better than
has ever been done before.
IN naming the week Of August 20 for
ne women's national championships
ne schedule committee has decided
vlseiy. think, as regards the date,
or this will give the men, both those
Who are going to defend the Davis
up In the challenge round and those
Fho have their eyes on the national
ingiea, just the opportunity they need
o either taper of in their work or to
:et In needed practice.
Davis Cup Matches First
After considerable discussion and
Weighing Of values the schedule com
nittes has decided, tentatively. Of
curse, to stage the challenge round
)avts Cup matches before the national
singles tournament. The international
vent 10 scheduled 20 begin Saturday,
September 3, with the national tour
icy set for Monday, September IL.
II IL . question in my mind whether
he national singles or the Davis Cup
:hallenge round should be considered
70 The climax Of the tennis season next
ummer. There are strong arguments
favor OF both, but the committee
Gems to believe that the singles repre-
ents the zenith Of court activity In
his country. and perhaps the COM
ntttss 10 right, although, personally.
have felt that the international strug-
.:le should be regarded a. of even
.reater importance.
In any event the dates assigned are
alculated to give the contenders for
he national singles title plenty of
inc In which either to prepare for the
NAL test OF the season, or, in case of
ne Davis Cup players themselves, to
est up after their struggle with the
challenging nation at Forest Hills.
Davis Cup preliminary matches, in case
evsral OF these are to be played in
his country. has not yet been def
;itely decided upon. but they will prob
IDLY be distributed among various
''itiee. ike Boston. Chicago, Pitts
'urFh and Philadelphia, or at Sea-
right.
X viii DO seen that New York and
hiiadelphia are we'll fixed, SO far as
attractions 60, In this tentative ar
angement OF the official schedule. but
seriously doubt whether Boston Is
s.otng TO be quite 80 content under the
circumstances.
Boston May Protest
The Boston delegates to the national
meeting OF tho association at the Ho-
ei McAlpin on February are liable
have something to say about this
schedule when 1t comes time to cast
he votes. and, after all, the votes of
ne delegates are going to finally act
