 The tennis association's policy of barring negroes can be interpreted in only two ways, BGgdal1 said.
 "One is that snobb"ry and caste prejudice brands an entire group as inferior and unfit to compete in public contests with other citizens. he said "Tho other is that there is d cowardly fear that the group it is sought to stigmatiZe as inferior might produce a player who should take honorable rank or even the victory in such q puhlic contest.
 "I need hardly tell you that under these conditions your championships are not national and cannot decide national championships"
