200 Tournaments Listed
by National Association; ;
Some Clashes in Dates
By Fred Hawthorne

IL rs go0uiy list, that comprising
more than two hundred sanctioned
tournaments to be conducted under the
auspices of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association this year, list that
is compa rable, in it's magnitude and
Importance, only to the great days be-
fore the World War.
In some ways this years schedule is
more filled with promise than any that
have preceded it in this country, for
there will be five or six international
matches for the Davis Cup PLAYED in
this country, in addition to the chal-
lenge round event on the grass courts
of the West Side Tennis Club Of For
est Hills on September 2, and 5, when
the United States team will defend the
historic trophy.
Several Serious Clashes
1t was inevitable that the schedule
schedule such a tremendous array of
fixtures without being involved in sew
eral more or less serious clashes AS
| have stated more than once in these
columns. some of the clashes during
the last six weeks Of play on turf
courts might have been avoided had
the entire list of grass court events
been advanced a week, beginning about
July 25.
This would have avoided the mix-up
between the great invitation tourna-
ment of the Meadow Club, of South
ampton, and the women's national
championships at the West Side Tennis
Club, both scheduled for the week Of
August 10.
These are such highly important
events, particularly # some OF the
visiting Davis Cup teams and our own
first ten men should enter at South
ampton, and Mile. Suzanne Lenglen,
of France, compete at Forest Hills,
that one OF the two Is certain to be
almost completely lost so far as proper
publicity is concerned
Crescent A. &. Among Leaders
1t is an encouraging indication for
She future advancement of high class
tournament play in the Metropolitan
district to find the Crescent Athletic
Club again taking leading part IN the
game. When we recall the days,
like McLoughlin. Johnston, Murray.
Williams, Behr, Touchard, and before
them, Alexander, Hackett, the Wrenn
brothers, Whitman, and others OF that
caliber. used to compete on the old
Crescent turf it is not difficult to Wis
ualize a return Of these halcyon times
at Bay Ridge.
The invitation tournament for men
on the turf OF the famous Newport
Casino will begin on August /, fol-
lowed by Seabright and Southampton.
and the seasons climax will be reached
in the week Of September 10, when the
mems national singles championship
will be held on the Germantown
Cricket Clubs grounds of Philadelphia.
