Mrs. S. E. Waring Defeats Miss Marie Wagner in Heights Casinc> Tennis Tournament Former Indoor Champion I Meets Surprise on Courts] Sprained Knee Affects Loser*!?. Game, but University! Heights Player Performs Brilliantly After First Set and Deserves Victory; Mrs. Mallory Wins By Fred Hawthorne In these uneasy days, when kings and emperors, monarchies and empires arc being overthrown intermittently, it seems quito fittinp thai champions who have Ions occupied the seats of the mighty should suffer the same experience. The women's championship lawn tennis tourna? ment at the Heights Casino, on Montague Street, Brooklyn, was the scene of such an upheaval yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Samuel E. Waring, of the University Heights Tennis Club, defeated Miss Marie Wagner, former national indoor and New York State champion, by a ..?,%,.? O II ?; '} - ^ ;,, +U~ c??n?,| vrmrwl /if tllll InrllM.m. Miss Wagner went out on the court against the advice of her friends, foi ?he was the victim of a badly sprainet knee, received in a toboganning acci? dent several days ago. Tins preventer her from forcing the net position wit! her usual freedom, and she was force? ?o make her fight from the baso lin? Hlmost entirely. Under these cond tions the former indoor title holdei was not able to hold Mrs. Waring 01 oven terms after th.- r I set, for th' latter was driving extremely well ani also finished off some of her points bj clever volleying at the net, Overdrives Hase I in? Nothing should be taken from thi credit of Mrs. Waring, however, in he winning of I h - m itch, P ainly nerv ou in the opening stages, she could no secure con hi r ground 11 I and lost ma: I by o /erdrivinj the ba e \\ i '?? r' - shot had far mor? ?:??? and were bette placed, so thai -. took the (?rst se without much difficulty at 6 2. In the second se! Mrs. Waring begai to gain control over her strokes, an this serv< I hei the necessar confidence to rake the aggressive. Sh traded drives from deep court with he opponent, getting splendid depth an speed as she gradually worked into ru full stride. Miss Wagner sough; to uncover weakness on Mrs. Waring's backhanc but the latter surprised the onlooker by more than ; ? own agains this attack, and she kept her riva continually on the run as she kopt re turns close to the side lines. in the final set Mrs. Waring werke into a lead of 3 to 0 on rames, only t have Mrs- Wagner stage . game uphi battle and squa re ': match. Tl:"rr after ?he match was bitterly fougli hut Mrs. Waring increased her pac perceptibly and took the last two game for the set and match. Mrs. Franklin I. Mallory, the forme Miss Molla Bjurstedt, gave another irn preasive demonstration of her grea: .'less in her second round match wit Mrs. William FI. Pritchard, of the Ne? York Tennis Club, whom she defeate at 6- 0, 6 0. Although the latter is tournament player oi extended tourna ment experience and has won her shar f titles, she ivas utt#rly powerless t s-ay the tremendous sweep of "Marvel - us Molla's" attack. Overwhelmed Opponent The Norse girl simply overwhelme her opponent by her speed of strok ..nd hard hitting, the hail coming int Mrs. Pritchard's court so fast that o nany occasions it was impossible fo ?he New York club player to get int position. Mrs, de Forest Candee won a splendi ictory over Mrs. Rawson L. Woo former Florida champion, the sets g ? ing ?it (i -4, 6 2. This match served ? ?? show the valut' ?if a good lob, for il was undoubtedly this shot thai ; r].,| defeat for Mrs, Wood. Hie air Floridian is at her best against 1 a hard driving opponent, but Mrs. ndee upset her rival's game by beau tifully timed lobs, waiting until she d lurud Mrs. Wood well within the service court lines before sending th< ball deep and true close to the base ?ine. To lob well in the Casino is an art in itself, but Mrs. Candee proved herself mistress of it yesterday. When Mrs. ? Wood attempted to !<>!>. in return, the ball fell short and then Mrs. Candee, . racing in from her base line, scored .'ii spectacular "kills" overhead.

Proposed New Foot-Fault Rule Debated by Tennis Players ? ?Followers of Sport I in able to Agree on Inter pretation of Regulation By Fred Hawthorne Indications arc not lucking that the i (???legates from all parts of the coun- I try who are to gather at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Friday afternoon and i evening when the annual meeting of the I United States National Lawn Tennis association convenes are to bump into a literal stone wall when they begin; to argue about the foot-fault rule-. , We are all more or less acquainted with the present rule. I say "more or! less," because nobody seems to know exactly how the rule should be in-: :.-rpreted in all its ramifications. This has been so notoriously true ever since lire thing was framed that there are no two men who bold the same ideas us to the manner in which It should be enforced. At its last meeting the executive committee requested the rules commit? tee to draw up a new foot-fault rule, nnd this has been done, and it will be | presented for the approval of the dele? gates on Friday. The new rule, in its .-.mended form, is a distinct improve? ment over the present cumbersome, verbose article, in my opinion. There are far fewer opportunities for mak? ing mistakes in its active enforcement, 'or one thing, and it has been pruned considerably as to words, so that1 alto? gether it does not look so hopelessly incapable of clear interpretation. The proposed rub- follows: "The server shall, immediately be? fore commencing to serve, stand with both fee; at rest behind the base line and within the limits of the center mark arid the side line. Hot h feet shall be kept behind the base line ' ntil the racket strikes the ball." Should Study New Fiules I had reached just this point in this article last night when Edward C. Con lin, president of the National Tennis Umpires' Association and a member of the rules committee, called me on the telephone and urged that those who had expressed opinions inimical to the proposed changes should give due con sideration and study to the new rules before committing themselves. This is ?? perfectly logical demand upon the part of Mr. Conlin. and F presume that ? verybody concerned will have followed the advice by the time the national eeting convenes. As the tennis umpires' head pointed out, the men chosen to serve on the i ules committee were selected because of their special qualifications for the work, and they spent three months in poring over the "musty tomes." There? fore, their labor.- should not be light-' ?y regarded or tossed aside without weighing their merits with the utmost, care. As regards the new scoring and hnn ?iicapping systems proposed, Mr. Con lin declared that the rules committee m making these changes had in mind the convenienc?1 of the great body of players all over the country, particu? larly the juniors of }>oth sexes. The present system of handicapping, ho J -aid. was practically obsolete because of its complicated form, and the "1, 2, 3" system, as proposed, was far , more simple. Hardlj had I made a note of .Mr. Conlin a remarks and decided that what he said might shed a new light on the rules problem than a lettei came to me from Lyle Evans Mahan a ranking player who has long beei active on the courts and in the coun cils of the world of lawn tennis. Aftei going over Mr. Mahan's letter I fount my mind as much in a whirl as evei on tin- subject of Hie rules. Lyle Mahan's Letter The letter is well worth reprinting if only to show how two well informe? men can totally disagree on the sami subject, even when that subject is s? cut an?! dried a thing as technica rules. Therefore I present the lette in question: '?Deai- Hawthorne: Every' once m a whil? a wild ?le-ire to write seizes on me. and this time you are the victim, because I have just been reading Mr. Merrihew'r reply to Mr. Adee and Mr. Wrenn. "I object le the new foot-fault rule. I cannot see that, even as amended, it pre? vents a running start. Certainly il do not prevent .-?. hop or ?. jump. 1 suggest that, in order to make the rule clear and conform to the presen! role (which is, to my mind, about as good a one as .-an be devised), it should be amended so as to read as follows : " "the server shall, immediately before commencing to serve, stand with both feet at res) behind the base line and within the limits of the center marl, and the sid< line. FROM THE TIME Of-' TAKING SUCH POSITION, AND UNTIL THE RACKET STRIKES THE HAI.I.. BOTH I-'EET SHALL BE KEPT BEHIND THE BASK UNE AND AT LEAST ONE FOOT SHALL REMAIN ON THE GROUND.' "I eall your attention to the fact .hat it' a jump or a hop is allowed the loot fault umpire has to look at both feet to see if either one goes over the line before the moment of impuct, instead ot only one, as now. Opposes New Scoring "With reference to the new Handicapping and Bcoring rules, it is hard to state my argument briefly. It Is this: first, that in handicap matches referees are rarely available, and it would necessitate a slate Htel pencil being kept by the court, and that the players should stop at the end ot each name to put down the score of that game. Second, even if this method wer? employed, it is no argument in favor ol the new scoring method, because the point score could just as easily as not be put down on a slate, 8- ?i. for instance, which? ever method of calling the score, is em? ployed, and. further, in the ultimate result it would make no difference whether s man won a long deuce game or a game U SO, as in any case he would receive only s net credit of 2 points on that game. "'Thirdly, as to the new scoring alone while 1 do not appr? ve of letting respect for tradition interfere with true progress (1 worked pretty hard in two campaign.- t< lake the championship from Newport, am the first time it was not for the benefit ol my own club, the West Side, as we were proposing the Merion Cricket Club for t.h< event), yet 1 have not heard one valid ar? gument m favor of the new scoring, am in such cime I believe tradition should b< upheld. "The argument that it is simple is ab surd. Any child strong enough to knocl a ball over the net can learn the presen method of scoring. [ knew how before ever returned a ball. The only argumen i.- one for the benefit of Ignorant spectator! of the game, and I doubt if they could un derstand the new count, with points, game? and Bets, much better. "1 may say that I know that at leas one of the rules committee is against thi new handicapping. If they want a nev method, why not try that used years agi in Central Park if a match consisting o 72 or any fixed number of pointe? I would be fair easier. Sincerely yours. "L. E. MAHAN." "May I not suggest" that the U. \". L. T. A. offer a prize for the be oot-fault rule presented at the mee ng on Friday, with three qualifi? litiges to decide as to which is tl lost suitable ?

Golf of Mexico and the Golf Stream in this land of orange groves an< mashie shots, sunshine and two-fool putts. li is (in!y a question of a few years before Florida will be one vas' golf course, interspersed'with orange and grapefruit groves, bordered if turn by the bewhiskered water oaks and the moss-covered pines. We make the prediction that within five year.-, there will be mort divots lifted in Florida than any other state in the union. Golf and Oranges A day or so ago, with Roy Chap?n, li. B. Martin and Eugene Kicker we started oui on a tour of inspection from Belleair, headed across thf state. \\ ?' lefl two great golf course:- ai Beileair, and from that point or through Tai ipa into Mountain Lake the car dasind along over line roads through or by a icce ;ion of orange groves and either nine or eighteer hole courses, many of the latter planted in towns under r>,000. At Mountain Lake we came to the tallest point in the state, somt 4(?0 feet above sea level, and there spread out in review at exactly thf center of the state was a high grade nine-hole course, with another nine under way. This course was no dinky, tourist, affair, but one of fine test? ing distance, scientifically trapped with grass greens, on a par with thf best to be found in the North through .June. I.? . than five years ago tins place was a wilderness. To drop 100 acre golf courses with smooth fairways and exceptional greens, into this sector on such briol' notice, shows whal will happen as the golf contagion spreads. For the Older Generation Winter golf in Florida will never lure any number of the younger element. Very few of these have the time or the money. Bui il will extend its appeal to the middle-aged citizen or the man beyond fifty who lias collected his kale and who desires to leave, the snow banks behind I'm- a playground in tlie sun. It's a great thing fur this class, hi place of shivering through a .'?nter gale they start North m April, tanned and husky, exuding pink from every port-. Changed Order For we bave now come to a changed order m the scheme of things, ii {]<v<] to be the general belief (hat sport and play belonged exclusively lo the youth of the land, and the man or woman who had passed forty-five vr fifty liad drifted on beyond the borderland of recreation. Golf in the main has been responsible for the new order. The man leyond fifty couldn't play baseball, tennis or football. With prohibition on the docket, ne can no longer sit around at a club, consuming copious drink.-. But he has found that he can at last slip away into an almost endless ?rift of sunshine through the winter months, and not only put himself oto rare condition, but also have what is technically known as a corking ;ood time?<|uit<> different from ?he uncorking good times now faded into lie mists. What It Means Tins won't nu-an very much to you if you still happen to be ro'mping dong between twenty and thirty. But it means more than a trifle to the man beyond fifty. Only a 'ew days ago we watched two contestants leave the first tee at Belleair. ?olh were well beyond sixty. Their hair was extremely gray, but they vere both burned to a healthy brown, and they left the first tee with i .swinging stride that belonged to youth alone. When one begins to look over a crop of veterans around sixty, ixty-five or severity, having a nip and tuck battle, as keen for the game i.~ two kids and husky enough to tramp ten or twelve miles in a thirty-six lole scrap, the new order begins to mean something. And sooner or a trille later, it is coming to the lot. of every man to lip quietly and gently from the twenties into the thirties and from the hirties into the fifties, where, before he knows what it is all about, he s slogging alone- toward the end of the road. And it is at this stage hat he will find his keenest joy in play and sport in the knowledge that :e has come into the late afternoon of his life with the sun beginning o set back of the gray hill known as Existence. And it is a great thing or him then to have some form of sport left that will keep the sunshine f spring in his heart as an offset for the winter snows that crown his ead. The kid has all. games before him. He has his pick. The road on i eyond is further than he can see. But. up around sixty and on beyond ! is only a lucky turn that still ?eaves some keen competition left where bounding health and the joy of battle remain intact. And as there appen to he several hundred thousand such in the U. S. of A., that is ne reason why Florida ami California aie ci rtain to increse their winter ppeal.

"It's an awful time to talk base? ball." Hoggins quoted Baker as say? ing when they met. Muggins agreed with him, for it was many degrees below zero and Baker had driven many miles in an automobile to meet the manager. -_?????_-? ? - Former Columbia Coach Gels Offer From Colorado Fred Dawson, who resigned as head football coach at Columbia on Thanks? giving Day because or iil health and later went to Colorado To recuperate, heartily indorses the appointment of Frank J.

Local Baseball Circles Discus!? $500,000 Siiii "Our Purpose Not Jo ?h stroy, l>nt Bnilti I j>," Say Col. Huston, of Yankee By W. J. Macbeth Little was discussed in local base ?all circles yesterday but the trebl suit launched Monday afternoon b Colonels Ruppert and Huston agains Ban Johnson and his five America League supporters. Even the pro spective early arrival of Habe K'ith i our midst paled into insignificance a a topic. Secretary Joe O'Brien, the ont representative of the Giants to a found at National League hcadquar 'tirs, had nothing to say for publica ?ion. Whatever transpired at the tim< referred to in the Johnson letter gub ir.itted in the complaint took place Ion?, before Mr. O'Brien returned to thh city as an official of the ?oral Nationa League clubs. .Messrs. Stoneham an< McGraw are still In Cuba, of cours?1 Mr. O'Brien is somewhat pessimistic oi the battling colonel's collecting ir full of the amount asked of Ban. Am. ? till he wished the colonels luck. , No other baseball officials except the Yankee owners happened to In- in town yesterday. John ileydler, presi? dent of the National League, was some? where on Long Island on business Harry H. Frazee had not returned from Boston. Certain fans, however, were apprehensive that, because of the seri ou ness of the latest legal develop? ments organized baseball might be shaken to its very foundations. This possibility they regretted deeply, de? claring that no ijia.'i or combination oi men should be allowed to destroy a national game. "It is not our purpose to destroy but to build tip,"' said Colonel Huston, when informed of these sentiments of certain fans. "We believe baseball needs a house cleaning; that it will go to the dogs otherwise. It was not our purpose to carry this thing to court until we were forced to do so to protect our interests and our principles. "We confess that organized baseball is confronted with the most critical situation it ever faced. If those who oppose us continue so stifl>necked the present imbroglio is certain to develop a cataclysm. The Federal League judgment is as nothing in compan on. "But organized baseball cannot say it was not warned. N'or can our oppo? nents in the American League say we did not attempt every posible means of amicable adjustment. The five 'loyal' club owners refused to meet with us and Mr. Johnson immediately after the suspension of Carl May.-: to have the matter arbitrated. That was before any lega! processes were insti? tuted. They were told openly that if we were forced to seek redress out? side of organized baseball we would employ every resource at our com? mand." "N'or is that all," said Colonel Jacob Ruppert. "As hue as our last annual meeting, right in this city last. Decem? ber 10, I offered to submit our differ? ences with Ban Johnson to arbitra? tion before three American League club owners not vitally interested in the suits then pending. The proposi? tion was turned down. "Later the opposition, we believe, in? directly made overtures to have Judge Landis act as referee on the Carl Mays controversy. I answered that the Yankees would agree to that ;f they the live loyalists) would consent to lave Judge Landis also decide on Mr. Johnson's fitness to act as league pres dent. That was the last 1 ever heard >f the suggestion. "We so-called revolutionists." con? cluded the colonel, "were willing to iave all the card? laid on the table dght at the annual meeting; and the ssue fought out there. But Johnson ind his supporters had evidently come lere with everything cooked and dried 'or us. They insisted upon using the ?team roller. They were warned that o do so would be at their peril. N'ow et's see whose toes that steam roller s going to flatten after all."

Penn Stirred to Depths By Its Football Situation Heismao, New Coach, Faces Hard Task in Re? storing Team Prestige By Ray McCarthy Life Ht the. University of Pennsyl- j vania these days seems to be one agi-! tation after another. And all over the matter of selecting a football coach. ; Bob Folwell is the center of the storm again, just as he was three years ago; when he was let out and reinstated on the demand of the students. It is not likely that the students will intervene j this time, nor is it at all probable that Folwell will be seen as coach of the | Penn eleven again. ?lohn \V. Heisman, former Penn foot- : ball star, and who has acted as coach i of the Georgia Tech teams for the last several years, has been appointed as head coach for next year, and will have as his assistants: F. Harold Gaston, Charles A. Kennath and Jack Keogh. An advisory committee of three mem? bers, Ernest Cozzens, J. Hunter Scar-. lett and Louis A. Young was also rati- i fied by the council, and Dr. Arthur Light, brother of Hobey, was given i\e i,?k ns team physician in place of Dr. Hancock. The football .situation has been filled with so many complications during the last couple of years and particularly this last year, that it has left the out? sider bewildered and confused as to the real trouble and even has many of the Penn students guessing as to what it is all about. The trouble cannot be laid to a single ailment, because sev- ; ??} maladies seem to be involved. The I difficulty 13 in finding the beginning. Oossip of Philadelphia and environs! nas it that Penn tired of being de- I ?eated hired Folwell and Bob was told t0 Pfoauce a winner. He went out and i got the material and started a winning ? campaign, but just as it was reaching its zenith somebody spilled the peans, there was a loud hullabaloo and Fol? well nearly lost out. Folwell back at his post started again, it is pointed out by those who claim to know whereof they speak. But the eleven had its winning career stopped by the war. However, when the conflict had ceased Folwell and Penn tried once more, aiming all the time to clean up in the football world. When that had been accomplished Penn was to show its record to Yale and Har? vard, it is said, and invite these two to trv their hand at defeating the Red and Blue. In any event, Penn began what looked like a brilliant career last season. It appeared as though it was to become football champion at last. But right in the midst of the season Penn State ?lappened along and administered a fearful jolt to the Quaker town institu? tion's aspirations. Other defeats fol owed in quick succession, the Red and Blue gridiron heroes became disheart? ened and began dropping out, and sud ienly the whole works caved in and everybody began to howl for a new deal.
