The Monumental City matches will
be played on the courts of the Balti-
more Country Club, while the local
series VIII be staged on clay prob
ably at Columbia Country Club or

the local racketers play exclusively
on clay.

leading players of each city and each
group of matches will consist of six
singles and three doubles contests.

What is the price Of titles?
This is a much-discussed question
on the sidelines of any sport. Just
how much is a title worth? Supreme
effort; sacrifice of time and other in
terests-yes. But hoW much more?
Is any title worth the buying when
the price is sportsmanship and the
respect of the sporting world?
This is a particularly burning ques-
ton in tennis circles, where so much
of the game depends upon the brand
of sportsmansip exhibited by the
players.
Recently a player remarked that
"of course, in entering a tennis tour
nament no one went in for the fu1l
of it-all one really cared about YVES
winning" Tennis certainly would fall
from its high plane in the list oi
great sports il this remark expressed
the sentiments of the mass of en-
thusiasts. The first concern OF the
real tennis player is for fair play
even above winning he wants to dc
the sporting thing. And that is what
makes tennis so vastly popular; be
cause with the leaders in the game
the sports the thing-not the title.
