visits to the city members of the en-
forcemcnt squad had spotted the re-
sorts and had reported to headquarters
the methods used by each in serving
illicit liquor. Guided by this in
formation two of the officers called
at the Commercial and ordered drink

duced for them to pour their own drink
same as i'll the days past. The off

U. 5. Approves
Plan to Change
Cup Play Rules
Recommendations of Tennis
Association Favor System
ON Orderof Seeded Draw
By Fred Hawthorne

Following the defaultine of several
countries in the Davis Cup matches
last summer, owing to great distances
to be travelled and the accompanying
expense, the executive committee of
the United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation has notified the nations that
were entered in the international event
or l922 that 1t has approved several
drastic changes in the cup regulations
and invites these nations to attend two
important meetings to be held in Eu-
rope next month.
The recommendations made by the
executive committee Of the u. S. L..
/. A. are in line with the opinion ex-
pressed in the columns of The Tribune
shortly after the draw for the Davis
Cup preliminary matches was made last
summer. At that time made the sug-
gestion that the draw be "seeded, :"
after the manner in use at regular
tournaments.
The first meeting abroad will be held
at the Cannon Street Hotel, in London,
on Wednesday, December 90, at a ses-
sion to be called by the U. s. l.. r. A.,
when the nations competing last sea
son will be asked to consider the pro-
posed revisions resulting from the
meeting in England on July last A
second meeting will follow shortly
afterward, called by the International
Lawn Tennis Federation, at which a
discussion will be held on the playing
rules and the adoption of an interna-
tional code considered. The United
States will be represented at both these
meetings, and in addition England,
France, Spain, Rumania, South Africa,
Canada, Australasia, India and Dem
mark.
The proposal that will probably
create most general interest provides
for the dividing OF future Davis Cup
competitions into geographical zones
This ia the outgrowth Of the nroposal
made at the London meeting last july.
when it was pointed out that the rapid
growth of the contest had made some
such change advisable
The proposed plan would divide the
contest into geographical sections, to
be called the American group and the
European group. Each nation, in for
warding its challenge, will state the
group in which it desires to compete,
and unless otherwise agreed all ma
tions competing in the European group
Will play their matches somewhere in
Europe, while those in the American
group will play outside of Europe.
This will constitute draw for each
section, with the winners to meet for
the right to play the champion nation
in the challenge round. 1t is obvious
that such an arrangement would cut
down excess travelling to minimum,
while allowing each country an option
as to where it shall compete. There
are other proposed regulations that
have to do with defining what are
legitimate expenses, with The division
Of profits from these international
competitions and various other points

Of one. The millionaire owner, of the
two fields of two-year-olds that raced
Saturday, on point Of honor at least
seemed bound to have as many as NOS.
sibie OF the eight most prominent
meet to settle the question of su-
premacy.
Martingale Ready to Race
Six of these eight appear to have
gone wrong overnight. None but ]. 8

sue with Sally's Alley. Mr.. Cosden
and Billy Garth say Martinpale was
never more fits and. anyway, he would
be sent to the post if he had to hop
on one hoof. Owners and trainers of
the other half dozen have fatty re-
fused to have anything to do with the
run-off. All allege injuries cumula.
tive from Saturdays efforts.
Many doubling Thomases of Mary
that these afflictions are all ingrown
attacks of Sally's Alley. There is every
reason to believe the excuses for Z. r.
Bradley's Blossom Time, winner Of the
first division, as we'll as those for Lit
tie Celt and Donjes, are genuine. These
were reported Immediately. But it is
strange that three others contracted
such serious affections over Sunday
and more especially SO as it is under
stood that some Of them have an eve
on the highly regarded Walden at a
mile, $4,000 stake that will be run
Friday.
Stable connections announced official
~ tonight that all four Of the first
division, as we'll as My Own and Rialto.
which finished third and fourth, re-
spectively, to Sally's Alley and Mar
tingale,. could not be ready for to-
of which Admiral Carey Grayson is the
moving spirit, has retired Ny Own for
the season. 1t is claimed this one came
out OF Saturdays race very sore.
Rain May Scare Sally
The fact that six, Sally's Alley,
Martingale, How Fair. Rialto, NV own
and Donjes, have been entered over
night may possibly save the face of
TINS two-year-old cup race, especially
If it rains hard enough to scare out
Sally's Alley. With this one out of
the way the crippled might be able
to shake some Of the snow off their
feet. But if Sally's Alley starts the
public can look for two horse race
at most unless there is a great change
Of heart over night.
There was little occasion, aside from
craftsmanship. for this Pimlico Fu-
turity Cup, as the card was a mighty
strong one without 1t. The Bowie
Handicap, with $4,000 added, for
three-year-olds and upward at a mile
and half, is one Of the most popular
fixtures of the meeting. This seemed
quite enough to guarantee a bumper
weekday crowd. The two-year-old race
might easily have kept day longer,
but the management was anxious not
to handicap any of the Walden eligibles
by placing the run-off too close TO the
other Juvenile fixtures.
