this way on his troubles:
Troubles of a Course Builder
"1 have tiled not to bother the board

has only been the greatest ot effort that
we were able to get the course built
last summer. We had strikes on our
hands; the claws of labor We had to
Use was the poorest: ddherles of sup-,
piles were hard to obtain, and on lop
of this, even the elements were agalnt

August proved an extremely poor
month for seeding owing to the heat nnd
the severe cold September mouths were
not conducive to tile growth of grass
seeds. Rut things worked nm well in
spite of this and the f.evorest winter we
have had In years
The club was formally organized June
19, 19IR, nnd construction started
August 10. The average rate of wages
paid was thirty cents, an hour, for
double teams and driver sixty cents and
for single team and driver forty cents

racquet for the last time with the ex
cuse that he has no Incentive to con
tinue his play.
When a man reaches the age of forty
he begins to think of limiting his part
In sports to that of the side lines. Ilut
there are many who would prefer to
take an active part Instead of that of a
spectator, who, however, can't find
suitable opponents or partners of their
own age, and must unwillingly cease to
take an active part In their favorite
sport.
These conditions, hnweier. no longer
.will hold sway In tennis circles If the
plan of the executlie committee of the
United Stntes National l,awn Tennis
Association successfully Is carried out
At a recent meeting of this body In Chi
capo It was decided to hold a national
veterans singles championship to be
staged the same time that the national
singles championship Is being ptaged on
the courts of the West Side Tennis Club

come forty-live years of age or -more
during the calendar year This Is the
first time that such an eient will be
held and the delegates from all sections
of the country who attended the meet- i
Ing at Chicago balled the suggestion!
with delight. The titular play Is founded
on somewhat the same Idea as that of I
Seniors' Association In golf, the only dlf-1
ference being In the age limit
The Idea of the seniors' tennis touru.i
ment was brought directly to the at
tention of the National Association by I
a letter outlining plans for such an
event from Fred (!. Anderson, of Itrook-1
lyii. Ills forceful exposition of the case,
presented In concrete manner nhat had
lain dormant In the minds of many fori
scleral years.
Realizing, howeier. that the tnurua j
ment must be much In the nature of an i
experiment this jeer, the executive com
mittee referred Ihe event to the na- I
tlonal I'lminplnnslilr' committee for the ,

In support of the seniors' plan It was i

Incentive to continue in competition when
play for the open championship became
too strenuous It was further brought
out that with a father-and-son event
already approved, the logical thing to
do would be to make a singles event for
men above forty five
It Is almost n certainty that the
championship committee will npjnove
of the plan. This rounds out the program
established by the National Association
Tournaments will now be held which
I accommouairs piayers ironi unyiioou uu

nectlon U Harry Haldner. president of
the Western Association, told the com
mittee that If he plays In the western
tournament this year It will complete
twenty-five years of competition for him
In that event
Final nrrangemenls for the seniors'
tournament are being completed by
Julian S. Myrlck. Kdwln F. Torrey and
C. Frederick Watson. Jr F.ntrles will

Baseball was classed as a nonproduc
tive occupation by the Brighton local
draft board yesterday In deciding a test
case brought by John Parle Henry,
catcher for the Boston Xntlonal League
club, against Provost Marshal Uencral
Crowder'a "work-or-llght" order.
The board fotind that the amount o'
relief from v.-nr strain furnished by the
game was overestimated by the regis
trant In his affidavit, and that bare
ball s financial contribution to the war
was no larger materially than the vol
untary sacrifices of "many millions of
cltlzem."
All three members of the board are
agreed In the finding that baseball Is a
nonproductive occupation, but one of
them, Justice Thomas H. Connelly, rec
ommends that Catcher Henry be not
required to change I1I3 occupation, on
the ground that he could not do so
"without substantial financial I0S3 to
hlmtttlf and others."
The majority of the board, In dis
puting Henry's claim that baseball la
necessary, affording needed tecrentlon
and In contributing to the conduct of
the war by taxen, the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds and other contributions,
BAs; 4
-we oeneve that the continuance on
baseball of the. registrant's employers Is
so contrary to winning of the war, and 1
that Vhey must necessarily expect to 1
make some sacrifice, that the financial
welfare of the registrant l. umuly pro
vided for In a manufacturing business 1
located in Amherst, Mass., which he con- I
itois, aim mat ne anil tney must neces
sarily expect to share In the, sacrifices
that are being demanded of American
citizens! that tho amount of recreation
and relief from the stress and strain
derived from basebalt by those who are
not going to war. or who are not em
ployed in lines of Industry that will
contribute to the winning of the war, is
greatly overestimated by the registrant;
and, finally, that the proportion of the
earnings of himself and his employers
thai' goes Into war taxes, Liberty Bonds
and other war contributions Is In no
material measure larger than that of
many millions of citizens who already
contributed generously not only with
their money, but with their flesh and
blood." I
The board states that It made enrd
ful Inquiry Into the measure of recrea
tion furnished by big league baseball
and found that only 10 per cent of the
seating capacity of the Boston, Pitts
burgh and fit. Louis baseball parks was
taken up at the games July 3 and that
on the holiday, July 4. the seating ca
pacity used was only 33 per cent.
