TOURNEY
Tennis Moguls Hope to Stage
Matches Throughout This
Broad Land.

! Officers and enlisted personnel of
the United States army and navy
will be afforded an opportunity to
compete for national service team
tennis trophy in the near future If
tentative plans of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association eventuate.
This additional step in the efforts
of the association to further popu-
! lariZe tennis in all ranks through
out the nation has been under con-
sideration for sometime. The plan
now taking concrete form was ad-
vanced at q recent meeting OF the
Davis Cup committee and will be
considered at the next conference
of the executive committee.
In furthering the project Presi-
dent Dwight F. Davis, donor Of the
international team championship
trophy which bears his name, will
confer with army and navy authori-
ties relative to the United States
Lawn Tennis Association fostering
such competition. President Davis,
the originator Of the idea, in out
lining the plan said he hoped, with
the support and cooperation Of the
United States service authorities,
the play would develop country
wide interest.
It is probable that the tennis
association will offer q valuable
trophy for annual competition
should the army and navy officers
decide that such a trophy is desir-
able. While no definite regulations
have as yet been laid down for such
competition it is thought that a
series of individual matches will be
held at each army post and naval
base.
In these contests officers and en-
listed men would be eligible for
competition and by a series of
elimination matches in all parts of
the country the best army and
navy players developed. The
athletic departments would in turn
select from this field of survivors a
team of possibly five or more play
ers as the national tennis repre-
sentatlVes OF that particular branch
OF the service.
The United States Lawn Tennis
Association would then in turn, If
so requested by the service authori-
ties, stage the national iflterservice
team contest for a special trophy.
These matches would be based
upon the general plan and regula'
| tons governing the Davis Cup,
Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman Trophy
East VS.. West and Church Cup
matches. A certain number OF
singles and doubles matches would
be played and the team winning a
majority Of these contests would be
acclaimed the championship team
for the year.
Tennis has for some years been
popular sport at both the United
states Naval Academy at Annapolis
and the United States Military
Academy at West Point as well as
at number of prominent army
posts and naval bases throughout
the United States. Many high-class
players have been developed from
these sources and should national
service teams be selected along the
lines proposed the caliber of play
In the team championship round
could compare favorably with that
seen at many of the important
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton tournaments throughout the
country.

In need Of rest, and yet with
three equally strong elevens to

remember the terrific storm that
broke here back in the winter Of 1912
following the dismissal Of Roger
Bres.lahan by the then Mrs. Helene
Hathaway Robson Britton. The
Dock was the idol Of the town. The
year before he had almost won a
pennant for the Cardinals. Now he
had been fired, discharged after
serving only one year of a five-year
contract.
Thousands and thousands Of
loyal supporters bitterly opposed
the move by Mrs. BrittOn. They
had petitions printed and signed
them agreeing never to put their
feet inside Robson Field again.
In part there were many who lived
up to their promise in 1913. That
was because the Cardinals, piloted
by Miller Higgins, trailed the en-
tire field. And who wants to throw
support at tail-ender?
In 1914 the Cards were flag con-
tender.
The fans who signed those petit
tions used them as bits OF scrap pa
per and flocked to Robson Field.
The Cardinals were crowding the

The buzz saw was an eighteen
inch affair, with five-eighth inch
teeth located symmetrically
around its circumference. A taxi
meter was connected up with
its axle which revealed the
speed at which it was slipping.
On the other hoof, the tread
mill was wired in series with a
gas meter which wouldn't hic-
cup unless you dropped quarters
in its tonsils. The Budget en-
tered the course as fresh as an
old salt mackerel.
At the sound Of a sawed-off
shotgun, the treadmilI and buzz
saw started to revolve like
squirrels in a rusty cage. The
Budget lifted his heels in such
style that the June number of
the Delineator went to press a
month earey.
The faster the Budget mas
saged that treadmill, the louder
the buzz saw moaned, until
finally it was rotating 80 gen.
erously that it started to throw
off red, white and indigo
sparks.
Ultimately the huzz saw left
its hinges and cut its way
through the spectators, leaving
a wake of amputated thumbs
and forlorn expressions. The
Budget saw he had won the
race, because the circular file
was disqualified for leaving
the course.
1t took the Budget twelve
hours to slow down to a dead
stop, when he finally decided to
drink "a teaspoonful of water.

principle. And In denying New York
fans the right to see the deciding
matches it is breaking faith with the
billiard public.
Can you imagine what would
happen IL the Giants and Yankees
played six games to Q tie in the
world series and then the National
Commission transferred the rubber
game to some other city? IL would
be the death Of baseball The plea
that suitable grounds could not be
obtained for the deciding game
would not be accepted for mo-
nlent. Yet this IS just what the
BrunsWiclE-B BaIlke COIIender Com
paTy is dOing."
Hoppe and Cochran have con
sented to playing off the final IN
Chicago, and Schaefer also agreed to
1t when he was involved In the tie,
but they probably have no choice III
the matter. Professional billiard
players can III afford to fIout The
wishes of the b. b. G. as develop
ments In the past have proved. They
are In the power OF the trust"
The receipts from the play-off series
will be divided among Hoppe. COch-
ran, Schaefer, Horemans and Hag-
enlacher in the same proportion that
the receipts from the tournament
just concluded were split. It Is not
q certainty that they win profit
more by the games being played in
Chicago.
Fans here did not warm up to the
tournament in the early stages for
two reasons. They saw exactly the
same field in action last year, and
the results OF the opening games
were almost foregone conclusions.
For the last nights match between
Hoppe and Schaefer they turned out
In capacity numbers. They would
patronize the play-off series just as
strongly.
II it was necessary to stage the
play-off Immediately some scintilla
of justification might be found for
taking 1t to Chicago. The dates out
there are more than five weeks off.
Moreover, Cochran, who is now en-
route to his home In Los Angeles to
greet a new arrival in his family,
would not play inside OF month.
He would forfeit to Hoppe instead
The B. B. G. surely could postpone
the play-off a few weeks longer, by
which time the Pennsylvania or
Hotel Astor hall probably would be
available.
