PLAYERS CAN'T
 THROW POINTS

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.--The tennis star with q high-power sense of honor, who throws points to his opponent be- cause he believes he has been given an undeserved advantage by some decision of the officials, can at least refrain from banging the ball over the back stop in an. ostentatious display of su- per-sportsmanship. This Is the principal point made by the committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association which was appointed to see what could be done about a practice which many tennis players regard as "grandstand play" ...-
 The committed did not agree that a player who throws point does so be- cause he wishes the grandstand to think him q snper-sportsman. It was decided to give the player credit for decent motives at least. But then, the committee said, 1t Is possible to throw a point to ;one's opponent in such Ia manner that the Hnesman will not be publicly humiliated. ..
 Tn the condemnation of the practice, the committee delivered anothar place. ment kick at William T. Tilden's ideas. Tor Tilden has not only been seen to throw points, but. has defended the cus- tom on the ground that it is a matter Of honor to gives back an advantage which appears to have been unjustiy conferred.
 The custom of throwing points con- sists Of making a deliberate mispIay so that ones opponent shall also receive
 The committee called attention to the fact that there are now a great mum Der of highly competent tennis officials who have the privilege of reversing their decisions if their attention is cali. ed to mistakes

The gun club ground was so dark from heavy smoke or fog that 1t was almost impossible to seo targets at ali, which accounted for the very low scores. The 60 target ham dicap was won by |. M.

THREE BIG BOUTs

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 16.-After three Philadelphia boxers, who are to oppose three Milwaukee boys on Mon- day nights card, had gone through their paces at various gymnasiums here, Johnny Mendelsohn, Milwaukee light weight, was the only hometown boy who remained a favorite.
 Lew Tender, who is to box Pinkey Mitchell, the junior welterweight cham pion. was a favorite as the result of his workouts, in which he showed plenty of punishing power in his punch ing and boxing ability on a par with Mitchell. Mitchelps supporters, how ever, contend that the local boys reach and ability will carry him to win over the hard-punching leftLhander.
 Danny Kramer, also & left-hander, and stablemate of TendIer. is picked by the majority to win over Joe lawson, Tn what Is expected to be a fast, hard hitting match.
 Johnny Mendelsohn is the only one of the local trio who holds a pre-contest although Joe Tipiitz, his op- poncnt, is a hard-hitting fighter.
