In the first place, little effort is
made to secure their presence, the
tournament being conducted by the
local club, with practically no help
from the national association. Sec
ondly, the playing conditions at the
arInory ara SO poor that most players
refuse to play there more than once.
The surface is wood, which makes
the play faster than usual. One
would imagine that in order to com
pensate for this an unusual amount
contrary is true. Even on the bright
est day the light is insufficient, and
Tho courts are made patchy by streaks
of sunlight and shadow, some of the
latter being so dark that they can
hardly be played upon.

tournament is given under conditions
tional title. Almost every prominent
player who has played in the dimly
lighted atmosphere of the Seventh
Regiment Armory has registered his
disapproval of the playing conditions,
and now the only serious contenders
for the tEree-year cup are men such
as Richards, Hunter and Voshell, who
already have one or two legs on the
cup.
Despite adverse playing conditions,
some of the tennis was of Surpris-
ingly high order. The younger men,

lerieS as Is DieSel. for Jock, now con-

years. He won the invitation event

The golfing stock of Havers has
risen considerably in the last fort
night, mainly by virtue of his vic
tory over Jones, the American open
tttleholder. over Bobby's own stamp

however, according to the press dis
patches. the short game of the
American open champion was far be-
low par, while the short game of the
british champ was excellent. But

not lde any particularly favorable

of Havers and Ockenden. We would
rather see Diegel performing with
Mcleod, for day in and day out
Diegel probably will be more con
sistent than Hutch, particularly
over Columbia. But Jock may get
into one of his inspired streaks, such
as he displayed over the first day at

burn up the course. Mcleod will get

two decades, a sound golfer of the

Ockenden has been playing more
consistent golf in his American
travels than has his more famous
partner. The French open title holder
appears to have found the knack of
putting on American green's, and has
consistently outshone Havers in their
four-ball matches.
