TITLE TENNIS FIELD
IS LIMITED TO 64
Executive Committee Declares
Unnecessarily Large Entry
Hampers Progress.
PITT FACES STANFORD
Only Eight Players to Be
Placed Arbitrarily in Draw
Hereafter.
BY SAMUEL ). BRooKMAx.

That the entries for the national
singles tennis championship next sum-
i1er Will be limited to e4 players was
indicated by Julian s. Myrick, presi-
dent of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association. yesterday at farewell
dinner rendered to Paul B. Williams,
erstwhile field secretary Of the asso-
citation. He declared that at the re-
cent meeting Of tho executive COM
mittee tho members were practically
unanimous for the reduction OF the
entry limit from 1913 to half that num-
Der.
The committee felt that too many
players who have not the remotest
chance OF getting a tennis ranking,
much less winning tennis title. are
permitted to compete in the national
event, that the entry becomes unwieldy
and that the tournament is dragged out
too long on that account
The tennis officials also came to the
conclusion that the seeding of players
in the championship last September
was overdone. Twenty-three names
were placed arbitrarily In the draw on
that occasion In order to distribute the
procedure made the first two rounds OF
the tournament rather dull. for few fea-
ture matches developed until more than
two-thirds the field had been elm
mated. While 1t is agreed that the
seeding of top notchers was desirable In
helping To sustain interest to the end.
st was evident that over&eding was a
fault that ought to be remedied quick
Is. Accordingly 1t was approved by the
INIT
more than eight players be seeded into
the draw, four Americans and four for
eigners, IL the latter be among the as
pirants.
During the talk on general tennis top
.ies Mr.. Myrick also added q few details
anent the permanent stadium the west
Side Tennis Club proposed to build at
Forest Hills. He declared that the site
OF the amphitheater would not be that
of the temporary stands OF recent
years, but on stretch OF new turf
at the southwest corner Of the tennis
plant The seating capacity to begin
with will be limited to 10000. but II
the attendance warrants the stands
will be increased in size UP to 21.o0
within a few years.
The executive committee, Mr.. Myrick
said, has recommended that the Davis
Cup challenge round be awarded to the
West Side Tennis Club for the coming
year, that for a period of five years
after that the national singles be as
signed to Forest Hills and that for four
years following the club be given one
Of the two leading tournaments of the
season. Without the assurance OF these
tournaments the undertaking would be
TOO great financial risk.
Mr.. Myrick lntimated that before very
long the national association In its
to,, torr rd
sport and the development OF promising
Young players would have available for
schools, colleges and clubs slow motion
pictures OF tennis stars in action. These
movies, II Is thought, will aid coaches
and players considerably In the develop
ment OF effective strokes and the ac-
QUESTION of tennis strategy.
