Then. We must think Of our numerous
friends and followers in far eastern
lands South American and African in
tsrests also have to be taken into con-
sideration.
Such q movement cannot be Eov-
erned on . single-centered plan. The
plan must at least be elliptic. As to
The Paris games Of 1924. 1t is not our
business to criticize the way they are
prepared. Each city. when once 1t IS
chosen as the seat OF coming games,
should be allowed to act freely in az
cordance with its methods and spirit
We feel confident that Paris finally will
DO its best and prove worthy Of the oc-

Tho right Of Germans to compete at
Olympic games stands above discussion.
Olynapics are based on the rule that all

International olympic committee, IN my
opinion. cannot fall to elect vsry soon

WORLD TENNIS TOURNEY"
MAY BECOME A REALITY

NEW YORK. December 11.-Possi:
bility that the English Tennis Asso-
citation may eventually abandon clair,
to the worlds individual champion-
ships granted to Wimbledon by the
International Federation is seen by
Americans as the English body plans
to hold its annual meeting this week.
Decision to give up the Wimbledon
award would allow the championship
matches to be played by rotation in
America. France. Australia or other
countries which have fostered the
game.
If the English change is made, il
now appears probable that the United
States Lawn Tennis Association will
enter the International. Federation.
Such a move. it'll understood, would
be followed by the erection of at least
one concrete stadium for z-tennis play.
1t Is understood that the West Side
Tennis Club. at Forest Hills. L. l., has
agreed, under centain conditions, to
assume financial responsibility for an
American Wimbledon.
