Invitation Is Only Method.

THERE is not such a tournament
now anywhere in this sector. Near
est to 1t is the Berthellyn Cup affair,
played this week at Philadelphia,
which ranks as one OF the outstanding
Eastern tournaments for women. Since
the membership of the Middle Atlantic
association does not include clubs in
pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jer-
sey. and the association does not wish
to transgress on the territory Of other
organizations, the only way to make the
tournament include stars from these
States would be to make it an invi-
tation affair.
Possibly such move will be made
next Winter to include the 1888 tour
ney at Richmond. To date the change

be preview of the national women's

Mid-Atlantic along these lines would

Blow Restores Hearing.
