The Chicago people are absolutely

VOTE TAKEN TO-DAY
ON TENNIS STADIUM
National Committee to Con-
slider West Side Clubs
Proposal.
BY SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

It will be the task of the executive
committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association to pass on some
highly important tennis questions at the
Vanderbilt Hotel to-day. They will not
all be easy of solution. nor is II likely
that many of the proposals will receive
unanimous approval or disapproval
OF leading import is the question of the
assignment of championship tourna-
ments for the season of 1929 particu-
larly the award of the national singles
championship, which both Philadelphia
and New York seem to be equally de-
termined to win. The West Side Tennis
Club of this city Is in the field with
proposition to erect a permanent stad-
ium. an American Wimbledon. at For
est Hills provided the association agrees
to award the club the national singles
tournament for a period of about seven
or eight years. The West Side repre-
sentatives. 1t is understood. have al
ready placed the matter before the cx-
ecutive committee and have stated
frankly that unless the club can be as
sured OF the revenue to be derived frem
a national championship event over "a
period Of years the expenditure Of sew
eral hundred thousands OF dollars for
the erection OF a permanent stand ~
out OF the question. They have called
the committees attention to the grow
ing demand FOR seats at the title even,
and the necessity Of larger and more
permanent stands than the ones that
have accommodated the tcrnis public
in the last few seasons.
Philadelphia. however. 10 not prepargd Il
to reinqulsh the national singles. which
IL has handled ably for the last two
years ard which has enabled the club tn
profit handsomely. The Quaker CITY
officials see no Immediate need for per-
manent stands, argue that 1t is possible
to enlarge temporary stands next year
II necessary and insist that II is only
fair TO all concerned for the champion
ship to rotate around a circuit Of the
grass court cities FROM year 10 year
They arc against the award OF che title
event to any enc city for &py lengthy
period
Besides the national mems singles
the women's Singles championship event.
the national doubles and the Davis cup
challenge round awards, rs drawn up
by the championship committee. are to
be passed on. While the action OF tho
executive committee IS, not final. It's
recommendations IN the, past have al
ways carried great weight at the annual
national tennis meeting and they arc
being awaited with unusual interest
The executive committee also will hear
and pass on the report Of the national
ranking committee, which this year has
rated the first twenty players In both
mems singles and women's singles and
the first ten doubles teams. The list
will be ready for publication within two
weeks.
