NEW YORK, Jan. SITS up to
the kids-up to George Lott, Lewis
White and the three young Johnnies
Of the net business, Hennessey, Doeg
and Van Ryn, to save the tennis
prestige of these United States.
r. Norris Williams, crafty and
capable veteran that he is, can't pos
sibly carry America through the pre-
liminaries and finals Of next years
Davis cup tennis fight all by him
self. It's up K the kids to help.
When William T. Tilden III and
Francis Hunter, his 1927 teammate,
announced that they would 20
abroad at first blush of summer next
year and seek French and British
tennis titles, the folks mere at home
did not at first realize just what
that meant.
It's Williams Plus
1t meant that somebody else will
have to fight our battles for US
can zone preliminaries against Mex
4COs 0UUd, 1dHdOd anu japan Dill
Johnston has just about retired and,
Of course. Vinny Richards is a pro.
So it's Dick Williams and the Kid
against the foe.
We must not be too harsh with
Tilden and Hunter. In the past they
have given everything in the fight
for the u. S. A., and if they can't
see their way clear to staying over
here and fighting through a hot
summer against the cup-seeking in
vaders, all right. That's their bus
mess.
Now IL there are any tennis en-
thusiasts present who want TO break
down and have a good cry over the
situation-here's a handkerchief.
Personally, our eyes will remain re-
markably dry.
The situation looks to US like a
blessing, disguised in the wolf robes
Of calamity. At last we may be
able to give our rising group of
young tennis stars the acid test.
Prepare for French
Last year. with the best available
tennis material in the arena, we
couldn't win. The French were way
too good for us. Next year the
French, all young fellows, should be
just IS good and We can't blame the
veterans. Tilden. Hunter and Will

liams. If they've slipped a notch by
rs. Time, like a nosey neighbor, will
tell.
Let's give the kids a chance. Put
George Lott and Johnny Hennessey
and young Doeg in there. Tne
worst we can do is get defeated.
That souIdn't drive US mad with
fear. 1t happened last summer, and
today there isn't a happier nation
than ours.
Give the kids a chance. BY play
ing in the big time-which in tennis
is always the Davis cup competition
the youngsters will get a carload
Of experience. They need that more
than anything else. If We are going
to get that cup back. America must
build for the future.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 6.--An
inventory of Kansas City's facilities

lican convention here next June will
be submitted to the national Re

the convention site.
Assignment of rooms and head
quarters for the convention will not
be made for several weeks, it was
said. The housing situation and

in refusing to be a candidate for
President.

casting licenses of almost half the
685 stations operating here.
Sam Pickard, a member of the
Federal Radio Commission, made
the suggestion, which may be acted
upon early in 1923. His tentative
proposal was to revoke the licenses
of 300 stations, leaving 1886 broad
casters to provide programs in the
United States.
The commission has cleared
twenty-five channels to afford many
stations opportunities to broadcast
without having their programs
marred by heterodyne interference.
Pickard estimated that with fifty
of the ninety available channels
