JOHNSTON TO PRIME
FOR BIG NET EVENTS

NEW YORK, March 2s.-Furtfier
indication that America is preparing
for the hardest fight it has had in
recent years in defense of the Davis
cup was seen tonight in announce
ment by the United States Lawn
Tennis Association that William M.
concentrate his 1924 campaign on the
national title events and the inter-
national contest for the team trophy
This follows William r. Tilden's
recent assertion that, since the play
er-writer rule bars him from the
Olympfcs, he will center his efforts
on play In this country and is taken
as definite assurance that the bur
den of cup defense again will follow
the two Bills" who brought it back
from Australia in 1920 and have ffg-
ured chiefly in retaining it ever
since.
Last season, Johnston's campaign
abroad, during which he won the
worlds hard and turf court titles.
had its effect on his stamina in both
the Davis cup and national title
tournaments, in both of which he met
defeat. There was some feeling that
the diminutive Californian. who won
national titles in 1915 and 1919, and
has been runner-up to Tilden for the
past four years, had struck the down
ward path, but his plan of action this
year is expected to find him az for
midable as ever.
Johnston will follow an innovation
this season by attempting to put on
weight before starting active cam
paigning. In former seasons it has
not been unusual for him to lose
from fifteen to twenty pounds during
a hard season, while in one match
last year he was said to have lost
seven pounds.

the country. Clubs from Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Trenton are ex-
pected TO compete in the divisional
try-outS.

settlers born since December 81, 1922,

been postponed until April Is.
The Baltimore Club will hold a
meet on April for both puppies and
all-age dogs, and the Delaware Club

for the National Capital meet.
Many of the dogs that will compete
at these meets are owned by persons
who are members of all three clubs.
Changing of the local date to Tues
day, April Is, therefore, should swell
the entry lists of all three meets,
whereas otherwise they would be
split.

the spread of distemper or other dog
diseases, DR.. w. p. Collins, the Ma

This attitude continues until his op-

to a record mark. Then the appar-

marks that tell the tale of tremen-

In selecting mashie the player
should pay particular attention to
the lay of the club. The mashie
should rest on the heel and have the
point of the club clear of the ground.
If you select a mashie that is too
fat and which rests on the point
when you make the stroke, the point
will catch the ground, the club will
turn in your hands, and the ball will
go off to the right. Care should be
taken in regard to the loft. Do not
select mashie with too much loft
or you will be forcing the stroke to
get the distance. The shaft should
be stiff and not too thick, SO that
you can feel the head of the club.
The weight of the club should be
