Title Tennis Meets to Be Held
Unless War Demands Curb
Dates Set, Subject to Special Committee
Sanction; USLTA in Red for 1912

Girls grass court, Philadelphia
Cricket Club. August 81.
The meeting followed a routine
pattern except for a debate over the
ranking of Francisco Segura and
Gardnar Mulloy. both of Coral
Gables, Fla. In the end the delegates
voted to reverse the players posi-
tions and list Mulloy, third. and
Segura, fourth. in mems singles back
of Fred Schroeder, jr., of Glendale.
Calf, No, /, and Frank Parker of,
Los Angeles, No. 2.
The motion to change the recon-
mendations of the ranking COM
mittee was made by Walter Merrill
Hall, a former president of the
USLTA, who cited the fact that
Mulloy had beaten Segura in five
out of six matches although three Of
these were IN unsanctioned tourna-
ments.
Other Rankings Approved. .
Jones w. Mersereau and Walter
L. Pate said in their personal
opinion Mulloy was the better
player, but they objected to over
riding the ranking committee on the
basis OF play in unsanctioned tour
naments. 2
To this Hall answered, Lets be
practical about this thing and see
that justice is done without hiding
behind technicality."
All other rankings, including
Pauline Betz as No. l among the
women, were approved as announced
by the committee several weeks ago.
although Tom and Bob Falkenberg
OF Los Angeles were added to the
list of Glass A mems players and
Mary Jane Metcalf of Denver was
added to Glass A in women's singles.
| President Ward, who was re,
elected along with all other officers,
reported that 1912 had been a year
OF readjustment, but not one of dis
appointment and pointed to funds
raised for war agencies and to "a
healthier atmosphere which pre-
vailed at tournaments as the result
of plugging loopholes in amateur
conduct in 1941."
Treasurer Russell B. Kingman re.
ported that only s1062 had been
taken by the USLTA from Its
tournaments, other proceeds going
to relief, and that as the result the
associated operated at s13,9oi
loss during the year.

only that, but Wade punctured
the carcass so thoroughly they
couldn't even eat it.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Tne United
States Lawn Tennis Association de-
cided today that Its national cham
pionships should be held again this
year If compatible with the war
effort, but left the final decision
to be made at a later date by
committee.
Apparently as the result OF ex-
pressions from some sectional groups
that the national tournaments
should be discontinued for the
duration. the Executive Committee
moved that the annual meeting
| of the USLTA place the whole ques-
ton of conducting the Journeys in
the hands of special Champion
ship Committee" headed by Pres
ident Holcombe Ward.
This resolution, which was adopted
without debate, said in part: Re

pionships should be held If, at the
time when arrangements necessary
thereto must be made, it is the

An immense task of garrisoning,

Warns Against Following
German Methods.
We must be careful not to get our

of gauleiters, the entire life of

Such 1. course might well in prac-
tice turn this sense OF liberation,
which it may soon be in our power
to bestoW upon the Italian people,
into a sullen discomfort against us
and all our works. The rescuers
might soon indeed be regarded as
tyrants. and might even be hated
by the italian people as much as, or
almost as much as, by their Ger
man ally.
I certainly don't wish, in the case
Of Italy, to tread a path that might
lead to execution squads and con-
centration camps, and above all to
have to carry on our shoulders q
lot of people who ought to be made
to carry themselves. Therefore my
advice to the House of Commons
and to the British nation and to the

against our prime and capital foe,
which is not Italy, but Germany.
1t Is in the interests of Italy and
also in the interest of the Allies
that the unconditional surrender of
Italy should be brought about
wholesale and not piecemeal.
Whether this can be accomplished
or not I cannot tell, but the people

in this country and elsewhere who
cannot have the necessary knowl-
edge Of all the forces at work, or
assign true values to the various
facts and factors should, I think,
at this juncture be restrained in
speech and writing in case they may
add to the tasks and tolls and
losses of our armies, and .prolong
and darken the miseries which have
descended upon the world.
In all these affairs we are, OF
course, acting in the closest concert
with the United States, our equal
partner and good gallant comrade
in this new tremendous Mediter-
ranean enterprise. Our Russian
friends are also being kept regu-
larly informed. The Allied COM
manders in the Mediterranean
theater are in closest accord and
the British and United States armies
under their leadership are working
as If they were the army of one
single nation. Our two governments
are in continuous consultation and
association through the foreign Of
nee and I correspond personally al
most daily, under the authority of
the war cabinet, with President
Roosevelt.
l conceive that his majesty's gov
eminent have the right to ask for
the solid and sustained confidence
OF Parliament. After years of ex-
IRENE difficulty and danger, we are
conducting an increasingly success
full war and policy, and we feel sure
that the House would not wish us to
be deprived of the fullest freedom to
act In the name and interests of the
nation as we think fit at this par
ticular and swiftly moving juncture.
1t is extremely important that full
latitude should continue to be &C
corded to the government by the
House and that no diminution of
the responsibility of the executive
should be attempted, and that no
untimely or premature explanation
should be sought in respect of the
business OF such consequence and
complication.
