.West Side Tennis Club, of New York, Again Seeks

lohal Lawn Tenuis Association, nml this Is likely to precipitate n lively en
counter for (he honor of stnclna- tho fontura event of the tonnlii senson. Thin
announcement will cotrio tut n mirprlno to rncipiet wlolilcrs throURhoilt tho Kant,
s It presrtfiea a movement to establish I'Vrot Hills, Iconic fslnnit, m the peitim

Hard Fluid to Deal Newport
WHlSN tho West Bldo Club forces, hernial by Karl It. llchr, Julian H. Mrlck and
others, began tho fight against Newport two years ago tho outlook for u tlmo
Wail none too promising. Nawport wan regarded nn tho logical hiiino for the "is'n
UonahV and as there had born llttlo complaint icgnrdlng tho method of conduct
Intr tho championship tournament at tho llhodo Inland kocIiiI center there wni n
Btronff aontlmcnt ngalnit any change. Tho Now Yorlirrn In advancing their plea
for & change of baso for future tltla toiirnamonts loudly protcitcd against n per
manent homo for the men's championship, and BtiggcKtcd as a bait for nupport
til At tho tournament should bo staged on dlffcrpnt courts annually. It was pointed
out that tho open nnd nmatour golf championships were decided In different tiec
ttons of tho country each year, and that the national regatta and other timutctir
championship contests nro awarded to different clubi anil never .itaged two con
acctitlvo years by tho Homo organization. This argument won n. number of Voles
and robbed Newport of its chief attraction. Dolcgatcs to tho annual meeting wcro
led to expect that Philadelphia, Uoston, Pittsburgh and other trnnls centers would
in turn recelvo tho big tennis plum. Tho West Sldo Club npont many thousands
of dollars for stands and by general consent it was agreed to funr tho l-'orent
Hills organization for n Hccond year, In order to enable tho club to wipe out tho
heavy expensa of building thoro stands, although this was vlrtu.nl) covered by thn
i contests for tho Davis Cup, which wcro decided on tho West Hide Club courts. Hut
now tho New Yorkers aro seeking tho event again, which will hardly miot with
tho vlows of tho national dolcgatos.
Philadelphia Is Ideal Place to Hold Tournament
PHILADELPHIA Is represented on tho oxeeuflvo committee of the United
States National I.nwn Tennis Association by A. I.. Ilosklns, vice president of
the organization, and Craig illddle, n dolcgate aMarge. When tennis was In Hm
Infancy tho Philadelphia Cricket Club promoted the tlrst woman's national chain,
pjonshtp tournament, nnd slnco that tlmo tho event has been hcUyamiually on tho
courts at Wlssalifclcon Holghtn. In order to stlmulata Interest In tho sport tho
Jtcrlon Cricket Club Invited' tho collegians to hold their championship tourney on
Its courts ut Havcrford, nnd has untcrtalucd tho rncquct representatives of the
'leading eastern universities each year slnco that of tho oilgln.il Invitation. Tho
present national champion, U. Norils Williams, 2d, Is a I'hiladolphlan, and many
of tho players in tho coveted "twenty" loaders represent this city. In addition,
thero aro more tcnnlu clubs In and around 1'hlladolphla than any other city in tho
United Statei, and for thesa and numberless other reasons the nll-comeiii' tourna
ment should bo decided In this city next year. Now York has rccolved Its reward
(or helping tho sport nnd In nil fairness soino other city should bo selected for
1917. No other city can offer facilities onuol to Philadelphia.
Forty Grass Courts at Merlon
fTTHE Morion Club has forty grass courts, and other clubs In thu vicinity of this
f 'A'clty enn closoly approach this number. Railroad facilities aro adeuuato and tho
geographical location Ideal. With all thesa advantages thero Is no logical lcuson
why Philadelphia should not bo solected for tho amateur chumpionshlp when tho
' delegates meet In nnnual conclave at Now York next Kcbruury. All local differ
ences should bo forgotten In tho movement to bring the big tournament to this
City. Clubs should Instruct tholr delegates to begin nt once a missionary cam
paign to secure voted, and u general appeal to tcnnlu players throughout tho
United States should bo mndo along tho broad lines of Justlca, fairness nnd recog
nition for past services. Tho West Bldo Club should bo compelled to llvo up to Its
original plea for a "movnblo championship tournament" nnd return tho support
given It two years ago by Philadelphia delegates to tho national convention.
.Baker to Offer Alex Satisfactory Contract
0
THE first Phllly contract will bo sent to drover Cleveland Alaxauder, according
to Prosldont Maker and .Manager Mo ran. Thoy- both contend that Aloxander
will bo very well sutlsDcd with tho terms nnd anticipate no trouble In getting tho
wonderful hurler In line. Humors wero floating nbout during tho world's ticrlcs
that "Alex" was going to hold out for a fabulous salary, so Halter nnd Moran
know Just about what the star limler expects. .When they bay that tho Ncbras
knn will bo satisfied with tho terms of tho now contrnct they do It Knowing Alex
ander's Idea of a satisfactory contract. While on thin subject it might bo woll to
remark that President Oaker has not been shouting about cutting down salaries
as has been Intimated. Duller soya that he behoves several Phllly playors havo
"been drawing more than they are Worth, but that as n team tho Phils have earned
their semimonthly pay checks. Homo will bo cut, whllo others aro to bo given an
Increase, uccordlng tu iJuker.
Braves' Players Unite to Oppose Haughton
IF BAKE It has any Intention of slnshlng salaries he must bo given credit for
being nhrpwd enough to keop it to himself. He probably will not llnd it dllllcult
, to get the stars In line and tho others nro likely to follow, whereas Percy laugh
ton, who- publicly announced that ho would cut hl salary list 26,000, is going to
find that by the tlmo tho contracts mo hent out all of his players will have com- '
train lea tod. It Is said that tho Ilravos Intend to stick together nnd lmvo agreed
that no player shall sign until all aro satisfied. Many of tho men oxpect u slight
cut and will be satisfied with It, but Htalllngs's men do not hellnvo that ouch n
Wholesale slashing of salaries is warranted. Whllo It generally wn.s understood
(hat the magnates Intended to cut salaries, Haughton'H open declaration, stutlng
the amount ho Intended to cut his salary list, did not rnako much of a hit with his
fellow magnates. Ban Johnson tactfully stated that ho looked fur a salary i educ
tion, but that this question was entirely up to tho owners, and nono of tho Ameri
can League magnates openly has stated that lie intended to out tho plaers.
, No More Twenty-flvc Cent Ball at Forbes Field
BARNEY DHEYFU88 was one of tho National Lcaguo magnutes who did not
.., believe It would be good policy to raise the prices at this time, Tho National
Lcajrue recommended that all owners take this step, so Dreyfusa was tlrst In line.
A poan as he returned to Pittsburgh Harney announced that there would bo no
moire twenty-flvo-cent seats at Forbes Field. Aside from Ebbets, Dreyfuus is tho
ttstty real baseball man connected with tho old league, and he thoroughly Is dis
gusted With tho way things aro golntr. Tho hasty action of Dreyfus would lead
ono to bellevo that he had decided to sell Ids club to the Pittsburgh syndicate, and
l aiding It by taking thli action ..ov. The fans will not be ablo to blame the
now owners for the raise In prices If Dreyfuas takes It upon himself to make tho
move now. There was no necessity for making this announcement at tho present
time, ns It gives the fans too long to stir up their resentment. Ebbcts inado the
serious mistake of talking tro soon last fall, and regrets It,
Rowland and Bush Get Another Chance
-v--PTBH having been "canned" by Ylrtuullyt every sports critic and follower of
- athletics, two of the most prominent figures In sportdom have been appointed
toXthelr old positions again next season. Tho men referred to are Clarence Itovv
VjuM. manager of the'Chluigo "Whlto Sox, and John Harland Itush, coach of the
Urinceton varsity eleven. Kowland tried to pilot the all-star White Sox cast to a

Jeft?ton, Thbj year both men were given wonderful material at the start of the
