minister was not quite adequately trav-
ersed But the general view OF the
meeting appeared to be that it would
not prove any easier to administer. at
any rate from the umpire's chair. which
incidentally was one of the views eX-
pressed in Ldtcn Tennis and BGdmin-
ton last week
"In the discussion of the proposal to
hand over the custody of the laws TO
the International Federation the doubt
as to how this would affect our relations
with America was again the dominant
and deciding factor; the question Of
principle which is involved in the pro-
posed surrender. and the further ques-
tion as to how the interests of England
can be adequately safe guarded were to
certain extent sidetracked. In this
connection ii is perhaps permissible to
submit that Mr.. Monckton was wrong
in saying that England had already
handed over the custody of the laws to
the federation.
"The resolution Of the annual meeting
of 1919 only empowered the English
delegates to the federation meeting to
vote in favor OF handing over the right
to alter the laws to the federation on
specified terms. and Mr.. Monckton at the
time was careful to explain to the meet
ing that 1t would be pledging itself to
nothing beyond that IL the other MEM
bers of the federation don't like our
terms they must suggest others and our
delegates must come back here and sec
whether they are acceptable to you"

That the English lawn tennis au-
thorities desire the cooperation of the
United States in development OF the
sport is indicated by detailed reports
of their associations annual meeting
Just received here. An issue that
aroused much debate was the proposal
to adopt footfault rule, which in the
Judgment of many critics English as
well as American, would have proved
to he extremely reactiorary. 1t put
penalty on the service as an effective
weapon by practically requiring the SER
yer to keep both feet on the ground.
So much opposition to the proposal
developed in England, however. that this
was not adopted. In commenting upon
this meeting, Ldl0n Tennis and Bad
,linton. the official organ of the British
Lawn Tennis Association, had the fol-
lowing:
THE feature OF the l.. T. A. Annual
General Meeting on Monday last was
the strong pro- American feeling revealed
In the course of the debates on the two
principal resolutions. Mr.. Monckton
made a most able. and in many re-
spects convincing, speech in support or
the proposed new footfault law, but
what floored him was the fact that IT
differs materially from the law which Is
in vogue in America. and that the Amer
leans have expressed their disapproval
of it.
1T was consequently in vain that he
said: The Americans have made
law Of their own without consulting US
why should we not be equally independ-
ent?' Nor was much heed paid to his
suggestion that if the proposed new law
were found to be a good one and were
adopted by all the nations of the world
except America. the Americans would
probably come round and adopt II
likewise. The feeling was that to be In
agreement substantially with the
Americans was the paramount consid-
Grafton.
Not Easy to Enforce.
This naturally had the effect Of
making the merits of the law a
matter of secondary Importance. and
the question whether II would not prove
more easy to administer than the ex-
listing law was not very thoroughly de-
bated. Perhaps it would be truer to say
that Mr.. Moncktons very thorough ex-
position of the reasons why In his opin-

General Beach will be given an
enportunity to hear complaints at

General Beach has already an

took this action on failure to receive

fenced to be hung August IL at Un-
