The letter, in part, follows:
I'VE notice with much regret the
personal turn taken in the public dis
cussion of the so-called player-Writer
resolution which was adopted by the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton at its annual meeting, the en-
forcement of which is not to take
place until January 1, 1925. The en-
forcement date was set in fairness to
the players who had previously made
contracts to write tennis articles in
1924 and to give them the opportu-
nifty to make other arrangements as
to their livelihood in the event of
their being affected by this resolu-
tion.
'In the criticism of the associa-
seems to us that the vital principle
at stake has been lost sight of in the
maze of personalities. The policy of
the association has been, and we
be kept an amateur game.
BY the adoption of the player
writer resolution the association is
enforcing the underlying and founda-
no amateur shall be permitted to
make a sport of his business or to
make a livelihood out of the game.
Can you visualize acclaiming our
national champions of the future in
the knowledge that whether they
have been tennis writers or not, the
winning of the championship means
for them an easily made income of
from $4,000 to $4,000. or possibly
$4,000 a year. IL they are willing to
accept it? This income depends but
little on their literary ability; 1t is
the money value for publicity
purposes of their names at the head
of a newspaper column. To a corre-
spending degree the same thing will
be true of less important titles and
We feel sure that so soon as the
tennis public understand the princi-
pie involved you will receive the un-
qualified approval from the publicity
at large which the tennis member
ship in our clubs already has given
you by an Overwhelming majority.
Tennis must always be kept an
amateur sport, and we pledge you
and your administration our loyal
support in your efforts to carry on
the policies and traditions which have
made the game great"

Doc White, diamond mentor of Cen
trail, probably will call on Otis Dezen-
dorf to toll on the mound Tuesday,
although there is some possibility of
AL Chase becoming eligible in time to
draw the hurting assignment. Chase
has yet to pitch in high school
championship game. but he is con-
sidered clever. having turned in 4
flock of victories for the Petworth
Athletic Club last year.
Pitchers Should Shine.
Some first-class hurting should re-
suit Tuesday. DeZendorf impressed
Coach White when he held Business to
five bingles and famed eight. ROuda-
bush of Eastern was not working in
top form against Tech last week, but
Guyon is confident he can give a bet
ter account Of himself Tuesday. The
Light Blue and White tutor will select
his hurler just before the game. Should
George Burdine hurl Tuesday Central
is apt to find the going extremely
rough for the Eastern boxman vic
tiu1iZed seven Techites via the strike
out route and did not allow a hit in
the five innings
Both teams have hard hitters. Mike
Gordon, Williams and Scruggs of Cen
trail have done well with the stick,
while Burdine is the most feared bat
also can swat hard.
A rejuvenated Business team will
take the field against Tech Friday.
Sam Hass, first baserlan and southpaw
finger: Joe Mudd, third sacker, and
Fridinger, catcher, are expected to be
eligible to play against the Manual
Trainers 1t WAS Hass, on the mound
for the Kanawha Seniors. who hurled
so effectively against Central and up
set the dope by turning in a win.
Coach Woodworth undoubtedly will
give Haas a chance to down the Tech
ties. Business has little hope OF win
ming the school title, having already
absorbed two beatings. It's chances to
offer better brand of competition in
its remaining two games are consid-
erably increased, however, now that
three of its best tossers are eligible
to play.
Tech still in Running.
Tech High is by no means out of the
running, as its 5-to-5 tie game with
Eastern indicated. Irving Batson. the
new southpaw product of the Maroon
and Gray. is expected TO bolster Techs
hurting corps tenfold, and with Buddy
TeW mastering any sort Of control the
Manual Trainers should boast of two
worthy fingers. Batson's main asset
against Eastern was a fast ball. which
he used to good effect in the pinches.
There is one lesson that Reds Nc
Gahey, stellar finger of Western, has
yet to learn. He fails ''to work the
corners" and heaves too many balls
in the center. Business would have
been less impressive at the bat had
McGahey mixed his assortment of
twisters. When he toes the mound
against Central and Eastern he is apt
to get in deep water if he resorts to
growing the ball. Western has won
its first two starts in the series, but
II has yet TO face Central and Eastern.

LiSt Of Leading Events.

The tourney list, just released by

interesting events Will be held here
and in this vicinity. The leading
events in this section, with the coun-
try's big Journeys, are given below.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-17
THEY SELL SAN ANTONIO.

Most people do not realize that the
very apparent growth OF this city in the
last few years is due primarily to per-
haps a dozen men. Their business is
the selling OF San Antonio to San An
tonians. These men are the so-called
subdivision men and their undertaking is
one of the most exacting in the annals
OF real estate in San Antonio.
1t may look like an ordinary real es-
tate transaction to develop subdivision.
but in reality, it calls for nicely of
Judgment, comprehensive knowledge
OF real estate conditions, familiarity with
local proclivities and prejudices, to say
nothing of real craftsmanship.
Subdivisions do not just happen-they
must be made. Moreover, without the
subdivision man. expansion would be
slow. prices within improved areas would
become unreasonably high and much val
liable acreage at tie city's edge would
remain non-income producing. while car
rying increased tax burdens.
Such men as ,. G.. Irish. George Ha-
gelstein. J. H. kirkpatrick. n. H. White,
Fl. f. Dickinson, and half dozen others
equally as we'll known to the San An
tonic public. are the men who add great
tracts Of property to San Antonio.
From them, San Antonio homeseek-
or can secure anything from very high
class residence site to lot suitable for
wolkingman's cottage or an acre or
more in an irrigated district. These men
lselect tract of land which usually is

lowered with brush and weeds, improve
! it and convert it into homesites. But
this brief recital gives no adequate pic
ture of their undertaking. To do these
things they must employ much larger
! finances than are obtainable by the in
dividpal home builder They must put
in streets and sidewalks. curbings. sew
ers. gas. water. lights. They must level
and grub the land and often they must
help finance home builders who want
to erect dwellings,.
But first of all they must adequately
undcIs tand San Antonio's needs. They
must select acreage that in the language
of the realty profession will sell" and
they must make no error in this because
mistake i'll Judgment would imperil the
entire undertaking. Moreover they must
market their subdivisions at prices and
on terms. the people can pay and they
must endeavor to give each purchaser
of domestic, not only value received.
but property that will enhance in
comparatively brief period of time.
Thousands OF acres Of new homesitcs,
improved in every possible way, have
been added to San Antonio in the last
three years. These men are altogether
responsible. Had it not been for them,
we would today be suffering from a con-
gestion OF population and lack OF adel
quate building territory.
Instead of such a condition. we have
thousands OF new, modern homes sur
rounded by pretty lawns. with trees.
blooming roses and beautiful foliage
The subdivision men first create a new
section of San Antonio and then go
forth confidently and sell San Antonio
to San Antonians. They are real city
builders and men of worth in this COM
munity.

ate will cite him and declare some pen
atty against him. Mr.. Daugherty will
take the matter into the federal courts
which will probably rule that the SEN
ate is attempting to exceed its powers.
Their the radicals in the Senate will
proceed to legislate, or attempt to leg
islate against the federal courts with
view to the curtailment Of their present
powers.
Unfortunately, the present makeup Of
the Senate contains few radicals like
La Toilette Brookhart and some others
who are more than likely to attempt
some such thing as this. The danger
may be little remote at this time brt
it will soon be apparent.
