FOURTEENTH TENNIS
CHALLENGE ARRIVES
Philippines Cabled Bid De-
layed-Drawing at Noon
To-day.

1t was fortunate after all that the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
decided to postpone the drawing for the
Davis Cup international tournament
day or So for had the draw been made
yesterday. as originally planned last
minute challenge from the Philippines.
the fourteenth to date, might have been
left out of consideration, and under the
rules a redraw would have been neces-
sary after all he other nations had given
their consent.
The Philippines cabled their challenge
three days ago according to word re-
ceived yesterday from the Insular Blu
reau at Washington, but the bureau did
not appreciate the fact that IL was ur-
gent to have the news reach tennis head
quarters before the fifteenth of the
month and so relayed the challenge by
mail instead OF by wire. 1t arrived at
the Office OF the United States Lawn
Tennis Association yesterday. As the
draw will not be made until noon to-
day there was no harm done.
1t appears quite certain that unless the
Filipinos draw Australia, Japan or In
dia in the first round their tennis team
will make its appearance in this country
this summer. They challenged year
ago. II will be remembered, and then
found that they would have TO default,
as the players selected could not make
the trip for financial reasons. IL is un-
derstood. however. that this year the
athletic federation In the Philippines has
agreed to finance the trip and there is
little or no chance OF default this time.
The draw Is TO be made at noon to-
day In the Office OF the United States
Lawn Tennis Association at 20 Broad
street, and Consuls of all the nations in
terested have been invited to be present.
II Is 10 be blind draw as usual, and
the pairings in the first round will give
a pretty fair idea OF how many of the
competing teams may be expected to
play their ties In this country.

jim RICE SELECTS
TENTATIVE VARSITY
Two Shells and a Barge Have
Long Workout on Upper
Harlem.
SHIFT VETERAN STROKE
Frank Brodil Gives Way to
Cooper at Pace Making
Position.

Columbia's crews took to the water
yesterday afternoon for TIE first time
this season. Jim Rice sent two shells
and one barge for a long workout over
the upper Harlem River. the boats
covering in all about four miles and
making a surprisingly good showing
considering the fact that they were on
the water for the first time in some
thing less than year.
A very strong wind ttat ruffied the
usually smooth surface of the Harlem
caused Rice to keep the freshmen and
$50 pound candidates ashore, but he
announced that they will be given an
opportunity to display their wares
tinuous on the river until the end OF
TIE season. barring exceptionally poor
weather conditions.
The veteran mentor caused some sur
prise when he gave out the varsity line
up. Frank Brodil, who stroked the first
she'll all last season. was shifted from the
honor position to No. A. making room
for Cooper. a veteran of one years ex-
perience on the varsity, at stroke. Bill
Ferris was placed at No. Z, with Brad
shaw and Capt Swinburne at Nos. 6
and respectively. Nelson, Griswold
and Ruffalo completed the seating in
order, Ruffalo occupying his accustomed
place at bow. Levix acted as coxswain.
The junior eight was boated as fol-
lows: Norman Wiliet. stroke; "Torchy"
Frost, Z; 1nce, G.; Theobald. s.; Was
Geek. 4; Mayo. 3; Chrystie. 2; Medgo-

man of last year. stroke Neale. Z ::
Cunningham. 6 /: Knodel. 5 Lowell. 4 !:
Eelwig. 3: Shaw, . i; Orselli bow; Mar
shall. coxwain.
Little real work could be done on ac-
count of the stiff wind that threatened
TO swamp the frail craft. The varsity
shells rowed In fours, skies and eights,
some sembers of the cominatbions rest
Ing on their oars while the others sup
piled the motive force. When the var
sity rowed as an eight the stroke was
kept down TO approximately "a. Rice
started the boats from the Union Boat
House and they went down over the rae
ing course to the Washington Bridge,
turned and fought the north wind all the
way up to the 207th Street Bridge
From here they sped down river 10 the
boat house.
There is every likelihood that there will
be several changes in the boatings be-
fore Rice finally makes up his mind on
the men he wants to represent Column
hia i'm the important races of the year.
Bob Lowell and Oscar Thees are con-
sldered probable members of the first
combination and may get chance in

YACHT HALF MOON
IN BROOKLYN BASIN
Former German Schooner
Has Had a Varied and Ex-
citing Career.
ny ARTHUR r. ALDRIDGE.

The schooner Half Moon, originally
the Germania, is now at Tebo's Basin,
South Brooklyn. The yacht is In good
condition, in spite of It's recent expert
ences at sea, and but for its sound and
seaworthy hull it would have been lost.
This yacht has had a varied and excit-
ing history. She was built at the Krupp
Works at Kiel in 1908 and raced
against the former Kaiser's yacht Me-
teor. At the outbreak of the war she
was on her way to Cowes to race there
British She was sold at auction and
later brought to this country and pur-
chased by Christoffer Hannevig. who
renamed the yacht Exen.
Last year the yacht was purchased
by Gordon Woodbury. and renamed Half
Moon. Mr.. Woodbury. planned a trip
across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean,
but tried to make the voyage with the
yacht carrying a racing instead of
cruising rig. The boom. 95 feet long,
extended for beyond the taffrail. She
was caught in hard blow off the Vir
ginia coast and was towed into Nor
folk in a somewhat battered condi-
tion, but still stanch and seaworthy.
The new cruising schooner Malabar
H.. which John G.. Alden designed for
his own use, is finished and will be
in commission at Marblehead about the
middle of April. This craft is of the
fishermen type and was built at Tomas
ton Me. She is to compete in the ocean
race for the Brooklyn Challenge cup.
The schooner yacht Meteor III, built
from designs by A. Cary Smith in New
York in 1902. is now owned by M.
Bunau-varilla and will in future fly the
tricolor of France. This yacht was pur-
chased from the former German EN-
peror by DIR. Harries of Kiel and re-
named Nordstcrn. The launching OF
this yacht at Shooters Island was made
a big affair. Prince Henry OF Prussia.
brother of the Emperor. came here to
attend the launching and the yacht was
christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt. now
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.

LAKEWOOD GETTING
ELBOW HOLE READY
Applicant for Met Golf Tour
ney Making Last Important
Change on Links.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

Word comes from Lakewood that good
progress is being made on the work of
pulling out the stumps on the new
ground which has been cut out OF the
woods for the fourth hole. AS this hole
now stands 1t is a straightaway affair
of some 403 yards, being merely the OLD
eighteenth In reserve and played to what
formerly was the seventeenth green. AT
present there is quite walk from the
ttlird green to the fourth tee, but this
will be eliminated under the new order
of things.
The line of play will be from the site of
the old clubhouse or thereby toward the
middle of the present fairgreen, giving
the player quite shot to clear the line
of trees. A hook, a slice or any kind of
miss or half hit shot will be disastrous.
inasmuch as the hole is to be very de-
cided elbow.
All this is interesting in view of the
fact that Lakewood has not yet given
up hope of landing the metropolitan
championship. AS matter OF fact no
course that may be selected Is likely to
give a better test than the Lakewood
circuit as it now stands. About the
only fault any one is likely to find with
Lakewood is that Of >inaccessibility, and
even that is not an argument that holds
water since with the post war resump-
ton the tournament was sent to Bridge
port, Conn, where in the nature of
things the golfers were compelled to re-
main from beginning to end.
AS it is the intention of tho Lakewood
officials to put the elbow fourth into
commission at the earliest possible mo-
ment the golfer will get an opportunity
tc say how he likes It during the spring
meeting. which is to be held May 4,
and s. This event will open the tourna-
ment season in the North, and. It is cx-
pected, will interest many of those who
have been wintering In the South.
Lakewood's sandy subsoil gives 1t a
decided advantage over most of the
other Metropolitan Association circuits
Whereas the majority of greens commit
tees are wondering how many weeks
more 1t VIII be before their links get
rid OF the winters moisture, 1t Is dry
under foot at Lakewood virtually when
it stops raining or when there is nc
snow. All season long the course has
been kept going and even now they are
sharpening up the mowers for the put
ting greens.
While still new, comparatively. Lake
wood is seasoning fast Already four
tournaments have been held there since
Walter J. Travis rearranged ne course
but score Of so has yet to be broken.
From this 1t can be seen that II the
Metropolitan Golf Association does see
fit to send its amateur championship
there the course will stand up under
the test.

Things Arc Different Nau.

In the good old days IT was the custom Of
tho fishing station man to give a bottle Of
wine to the person who brought the first
spring founder TO the float MT Goose Creek,
Broad Channel the Raunt and Canarsie. and
later in the season a similar prize was pre-
ssnted 10 the fellow bringing In the flrst
weakfish Some OF the more enthusia vi ic
fishing station keepers made II even more
interesting to go after the early weekfish,
for they hung UP a handsome rod and reel In
plain sight OF every one, that was to be pre-
scented to the taker OF tho first weakfish
from n boat hired out by that particular
hotel or fishing station. Those were really
the good old days when weakfsh came early
10 Valentines Point, the spot from where
most OF the early fish were caught.
One man who was generally on the job
for tho early weakfish and who often
brought homo the bacon was Jim Whedon.
who used to make his headquarters at the
Raunt and who was regarded as one OF the
best weakfishermen OF the bay. Billy Grolz
OF bygone days used to say that whedon
could catch more weakfish than any two
men who ever came down 10 the Raunt.
