Dear SRI will appreciate very
much IL you win publish this letter

able paper.

again this year in much the same
manner that he did last; in the So
called defense Of w. II. S., criticizinR
the well earned publicity the second

ceive.
Why shouldn't they get publicity?
The sports page OF The Evening
Journal is maintained for the fans
throughout the State-not only for
Wilmington FANS Therefore when
secondary high schools have good
teams-championship teams-they
should be given a chance at the first
class champions. Mr.. O'Connor says
that W. II. S. beat them once, good
and fair. know they did, l was
there; but a championship in any
sport is never decided by one game

Mr.. O'COnnOr asks why Newark
doesn't play Delaware Freshmen,
with all the stars he mentioned Why
doesn't w. II. S. play Defiance? The
comparison Is about the samel
In concluding I wish to make a
plea for the secondary high schools.
Give them publicity. and give them
a chance at the laureis when they

(United Press sports EdltorJ'
NEW YORK. Nov. 2 Omitted
Press) Renewed efforts to take
the love" out Of tennis may be
made in January, when the United
States Lawn Tennis Association
meets for its annual session.
Chances are that no Official action
will be taken to change the Ian
guage of scoring. as It has been all
hashed over before without success.
II the love" is to be taken out of
the game. It probably will come
about through the adoption Of the
scoring as practiced in the west.
During the national champion
ships at Philadelphia It was noticed
that all the umpires from the mid
dle-west and south omitted love"
when they were calling the scores.
Instead OF calling fifteen love"
the westerners would call "hfteen"
and name the player in the lead like
Fifteen Tilden."
Use OF the seeded draw proved so
successful IN the national cham
pionships that It, no doubt. win be
retained as the official method Of
pairing the players in all the big
tournaments.
Sentiment in the middle-west, while
not against the seeded draw partic-
ularly, is said to favor an amend
ment TO make the draw optional for
the committee in charge OF the
tournament.
Some lively scraps are expected to
result when the association comes
to awarding the national champion
ships for next season.
Forest Hills. which has been the |
pet club OF the present regime, is
said to be wanting the mems Singles
championships which have been
staged very successful for the past |
two years at Philadelphia.
The West Side Club at Forest
Hills has been favored with the
Davis Cup challenge round and the
women's nationals. but the latter
proved somewhat OF a bust" last
summer and It IL understood the
club would like to pass It Off on
some other organization.
Efforts probably will he made 10

ment next season. Mile. Suzanne

One of the Show Places Along

The recent decision of T. De Rey;er
Wissmann to sell the Wissman estate
at the foot of East 177th Street, on
the Long Island Sound and the Shore
Drive, marks the first opportunity the
public has ever had to buy home sites
in this section of Throgg's Neck at
auction. The estate comprises $50 lots
and the old Wissmann home They
will be sold on the premises by Joseph
?. Day on Saturday next.
East 177th Street, extending from
the Hudson River to Long Island
Sound is the key to the future de
velopment of Throgg's Neck, especially
IN its easterly section on Long
Island Sound. beyond the point a.
which 177th Street crosses East Ire
mont Avenue cold Fort Schuyler Road
at Dewey Avenue. This portion Of
hrogg's Neck has always been occupied
by big estates. The lots to be dis
posed of have frontages on 177th
Street, Lawton. Pennyfi eld, Longstreet.
Blair, Reynolds. and Prentiss avenues.
Many of the lots front on Long Island
Sound and have riparian rights.
For the last quarter of a century
or more the Wissmann home has been
one of the show places of Long Island
Sound. With just suggestion of the
English manor house in its appearance.
