GRASS TENNIS COURT
MUCHTOO EXPENSIVE
Hot Summers Make Turf Surface
Almost Impossible.
Champion TiIden Believes That Word

of Game Before Long-CIay
or Asphalt Meets Favor

William III. Tilden, II, world cham
the word lawn" will be taken out of
tennis before many more years elapse.
More than SO per cent of the tennis
now Is played on clay or asphalt, as
the cost of maintaining turf courts
is entirely too expensive for most of
the clubs which are situated where
the right kind of grass can be grown.
In many sections the hot summers
make turf courts an impOSsibility.
Tilden, whose home is in Philadel-
phia, points out that at the German
town Cricket club, where the national
championship tourney will be held
this year, at least $1,000 will be spent
On keeping the turf in shape. A grass
court must be absolutely f1awless for
championship play, and to achieve this
every inch must be hand-worked and
scrutinized under a microscope.
Turf courts are easier to play on
than the hard surface, the clay and
asphalt giving the players, rackets
and balls, greater wear and tear than
the grass. But the hard courts are
representative Of tennis in a national
sense, as few of the Players. even
among the topnotchers, have the ex-
perience Of playing on turf in any ex-
cept the larger Journeys.
On the Pacific coast, California,
Washington and Oregon have either
asphalt, clay or composition courts,
and on these the championship tour
naments are played. William Johns

California, are products of the asphalt
courts. 1t Is only across the frontier
Of Canada and on private estates of
the Pacific coast states that the grass
court is to be found.
After the initial cost of laying an
asphalt court there is practically no
cost for upkeep other than that of
occasionally renewing the markings of
the lines. A perfectly smooth surface
is obtained, so that there is no chance
of any irregularity, thus guaranteeing
an absolutely true rebound of the ball.

The eyes of the sporting world, and
indeed the world aside from sports,
will be focused on Jersey City tomor-
row afternoon when the great inter
national heavyweight championship
fight between Georges Carpenter,
Frenchman, and Jack Dempsey,
American, takes places. While in this
country it is generally believed that
Dempsey will win and win speedily,
the French and many other close OBJ

are putting their money up on
Georges and insist that he will take
the belt across the seas with him. In
this they have many followers in the

,ENCH CONFIDENT
BUT MONEY SCARCE

Paris, June 27.-The French peo-
pie are solidly behind Carpenter IN
his coming battle with Dempsey,
but the sporting papers for several
weeks have been voicing a warning
against what they have considered
over-confdence based on sentiment
tai loyalty, French sportsmen
frankly admit that few OF them
know Dempsey, while Americans
have a better chance to appraise
Carpenter.
The big fight is occupying large
space in all the newspapers and
crowding international politics and

tons
The American supporters of
Dempsey here, however,, cannot
get all their money covered even at
liberal odds.

There is also Il suggestion in British
quarters that should neither of thcsc
views on submarines prevail, the Brit
ish would deem it necessary to seek
radical increase in their allotments of
anti-subm@rlnc craft as a measure of
self-defense. That means more light
cruisers and destroyers, and possibly
ai1plane carriers, For ali of these
weapons are used against submarines.
The cable correspondence between
Nh. Hughes and Premier Driand shows
that as conference chairman Hughes
dealt very frankly with the situation
created by the French proposal to build
ten new capital ships.

ratio TO the French delegation at tho
arms limitation conference in Wash :

III the hands of that group. the French
Premier said tonight. Negotiations
are still in progress in Washington, he
continued, but the principle the French
delegation worked on WIS to assure
for France Il strong defensive feet OF

this principle, he added
When Informed that the French naval
demands at Washington were provok-
ing critical comment in the American
press Premier BRAND replied:

maintain 81 strong feet. 1t is Il real
necessity for our country, with its three
coasts and its colonial empire of co.
100000 people scattered all over the
world. We must have communication

attitude is purely Defensive"
The Premier commented at length on
Frances demand for strong fleet OF
submarines. He insisted that this craft
was not an inhuman weapon in itself
and that everything depended upon the
men who operated them and the gov
ernments behind those men. He as
serted that submarines were not as in

great desire. which You yourself have
50 eloquently Expressed, That the
economic burden OF armament should
De lifted. 1t is not against the inter
ests of France that we express the
hope that her industry and resources
Will be devoted to economic rccupera-
tlon and the enhancement of her
prosperity rather than be expended
IN the building Of lighting ships. The
particular situation of France with
respect TO land armament you have
yividly portrayed; but that points,
as it seems to us, to the very great
Importance of reduction in naval
armament. At this time, when we
are anxious to aid France in full
recovery of her economic life. it
would be most disappointing to be
advised that she was contemplating
putting hundreds OF milliofs into
battleships.
| have spoken to you thus frankly
because OF my deep appreciation Of
your friendship and of your sol;ci-
tude for the success of the efforts
yyn
the present matter, which represents
perhaps the most critical position
yet reached in the conference, may
be adjusted on a satisfactory basis.

ment reached with Great Britain and
Japan hinges upon an appropriate
agreement with France. and | can
not too strongly urge the most care

Ny Dear Mr.. Hughes: At the mo-

Mr.. Herrick handed me your friendly
telegram in regard to the difficulties
which have arisen in tbs Naval Dis
armament Commission in reference
to the tonnage of capital ships which
have been asked for by the French
delegation.
You fear that the maintenance Of
this French request may have as it's
effect to hinder the agreement be-
tween the five powers.
The will of the French govern
n1ent is to do everything which is
compatible with the care of the vital
interests of France, with a view to
reconcile our points of view.
In the question of naval armament
the preoccupation Of France is not
the offensive point of view but
uniquely the defensive point of view.
With regard to the tonnage Of cap
