DIR. A. M. Curtis of Paterson, N.
j., is last years winner and will
be entered again in Detroit.
Perhaps by far the largest num-
Der of entries will be in the two
open pair championships for mas
tiers and for non-masters. This eX-
pecta5ion is based upon the CEN
t:al location Of the host city and
reports of probable attendance
from areas not heretofore repre-
sented in the nationals such as
New Orleans, st. Louis, Montgom-
cry and Los Angeles. The 1910
winner in the open pair were Miss
Hazel Facey and L. A. Fields, of
New York City.
Considered one of the favorite
events in the mixed pair cham
pionships.. In previous years this
has been strong puller OF entries.
The current champions are Mrs.
Cassie Davis and C. F. Benoit of
New York City.
WOMEN INTERESTED
Of course, tremendous interest
will probably be shown by the
weaker sex for the women's pair
championships, won in 1910 by
Mrs. Rosanna Johns and Mrs.
Eloise Morris of New York. Be-
cause of the large female MEM.
