ing an extra stand on the north
slider of the center court in front
of the Meadow Club veranda this
morning, preparing for what is
expected to be one of the largest
crowds ever to witness the semi
final matches in the clubs an
nual invitation tennis tourna-
ment.

cyclone, who swept through the
National Clay Court, Longwood
and Seabright tournaments, is
to meet George Lott in the fea-
ture semi" this afternoon. and
Gregory Mangin, the Newark boy,
who beat Johnny Doeg. national
champion, on Wednesday, is to
clash with Clifford Sutter, fifth
ranking player of the country, in
the other penultimate round tilt.
Vines, on the strength of his
clean sweeps at Longwood and
Seabright, is favored to beat Lott.
The former Chicagoan, now OF
Philadelphia, is a Davis cup
player, but Vines has been play
ing better singles this summer
than Lott, and a victory for Lott
would be in the nature Of a very
unexpected happening.

SPLIT LOOMS IN LINES OF
 REPUBLICANS
Independen, Rep ublicans Seriously Considering
 Third Party

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30.- Republican independents are seri- ously considering a third party movement next year in the event the Republican and Democratic conventions fail to nominate a man to their liking.
 The first problem of the Repub- lican independents will be to fight against the renomination of Presi- dent Hoover. This much is admit ted, but fear that he cannot be defeated in the National Conven- tion is adding to the force of a Third Party movement.
 Some of the Republican indepen- dents are inclined to look with favor upon the candidacy of Gov Roosevelt in the Democratic party as the best means of expressing progressive sentiment.

 They were pitted against each other by their elders and a fight is on that will determine the po- litical future of the nation.
 Weapons being used are enthusi- asm, parades, hand-bills, oratory and invective-sometimes black jacks, knives and revolvers.
