won and finally
lost, proves its suitability Any cry
at this late date against the turf or
arrangements, the management or
equipment obviously is out of order.
The hospitality shown visiting play
ers by such men as Samuel Collom,
Stewart A. Jellett, jr., nd Samuel
Peacock puts Germantown deservedly
among our most popular clubs with
our international visitors.
NOV I can see the power of the
Forest Hills gate argument.
Davis Cup teams are Injuries; Aus
tralia is long way off. There is the
need to give Australia and ourselves
the largest possible income.
But this decision is bigger than that.
Actually it is one more step in the
steadily developing concentration of
all major tennis at West Side.
There seems definite if rather
subtly hidden movement to turn it
into the American Wimbledon.
Already the Women'S nationals, once
Philadelphia fixture, have been COM
bined with the mems event and
brought to Forest Hills
l indorse combining the events. but
In place of Womens singles Phila-
delphia should have been awarded
some equally important event. I do
not say that as a Philadelphian, but as
a tennis enthusiast.
Only the national doubles have so
far escaped the Capitalization curse.
Now the decision to place the Australia
U. S. A. tie in New York puts it up
to the rest of America.
Is amateur tennis in America to be
New York or not? There's no use
beating it around the bush. Today
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and
other key points virtually are without
major tennis.
ONLY Los Angeles, which holds its
~ place due far more to the finan-
cial power of its Patrons Association
to bring players from all over the
world than to any U. S. L. T. A., good
will. can feel secure in an annual
event Of real Importance.
Is tennis future better served by
greater financial return from New
York events and the gradual but sure
decline of interest elsewhere due to
dry rot, or should the Nation insist
on sacrificing immediate financial
return for rotation of major events
to rouse interest everywhere?
I always have supported rotation
strongly. Only by scattering plums
can the game grow steadily every
where. I'd like to see a far wider
range of locations than we've ever
had.
In small countries, dominated by
one city, such as England with Lon
don or France with Paris, there is
justification - almost necessity - for
such Capitalization.
But America is too vast and its
districts too important to allow the
stagnation that must follow CEN
tralization.
I congratulate the Philadelphians
who made such a gallant fight against
q stacked hand.
And I hope the West, South and
other areas unite and break the
steadily tightening moose threatening
to strangle tennis everywhere except
West Side.
