<Association Passes R?solu
?ion to Shut Out Pia]
With Alien Encmiei
'\he National Lawn Tennis Associa
tita yesterday announced the adoptioi
? f a resolution barring play betweei
?.embers of the association or it:
?Hied clubs and any player of the Cen
trnl Powers or their allies. No time
Vcriod is specified in the resolution
but it is understood that the bann wil
continue for several years.
The British and French association:
adopted some weeks ago resolution!
which not only forbade their owr
players to compete in tournaments hele
by enemy nations as well as acceptance
of entries in France and England frorr
those nations, but they also deciarec
that their players could compete in
events in neutral countries only when
enemy entries were barred. Similar
action has now been taken by the
U. S. N. L. T. A. in the adoption of the
following resolutions:
"That American players be pro?
hibited from taking part in any tour?
naments or competitions organized by
Germans, Austrians, Turks or Bulga?
rians, and held in any one of those
countries.
"That all German, Austrian, Turkish
and Bulgarian players are prohibited
from entering any tournament or com?
petition sanctioned by the U. S. N. L.
T. A.
"That American players are pro?
hibited from taking part in tourna?
ments or competitions organized in
any neutral country unless the lawn
tennis association or corresponding or?
ganization of such country shall have
prohibited tho acceptance of entries
for the same by subjects of the above
referred-to nations."
President Adee has also received no?
tice of the decision of the Swiss as?
sociation, which adopted the following
resolution: "Clubs affiliated with the
Association Suisse de Lawn Tenn?3
must mention on their announcements
that their tournaments are open either
exclusively to players of neutral coun?
tries and of the Allied countries, or ex?
clusively to players of neutral coun?
tries and those of the Central Powers
and their allies."

Sport-Mad Metropolis Awaits Opening
Of Racing Season at Jamaica Track
And Thursday Will Be a Big, Big Day
Success Depends on the
Manner in Which Those
in Control of the Sport
of Kings Protect Public
By W. J. Macbeth
A sport-mad metropolis fretfully
awaits the opening of the metropolitan
racing season which will be ushered
in with customary pomp and acclaim
at the Metropolitan Jockey Club's pop?
ular Jamaica track next Thursday
afternoon.
Everything is "set" for such an ova?
tion to the thoroughbred as has not
been seen locally for more than a
decade?not since the days of wide
open betting, when American breeding
establishments were producing kings
and queens of the equine world that
could measure strides with the tradi?
tional aristocratic blood of Europe.
It is needless to go into detail as to
the painstaking care with which Secre?
tary W. C. Edwards has gone about his
work, both to make the Jamaica racing
plant pleasing to the eye and to pro?
vide a programme of high class en?
tertainment. I Be it said in passing that
everything possible that could be done
has been done to provide a fast and
fair course for the thoroughbreds,
which, after all, is the main answer.
When tho opening day programme is
announced in detail race lovers will not
be disappointed.
King of Caterers Ready
To the last detail all is in readiness,
then, even to Harry M. Stevens, the
king of caterers, who has added Ja- |
maica to his ever increasing domain j
and who has installed every modern
convenience and appurtenance to help
allay the craving of the inner man. j
Though for a few days the Jamaica !
meeting will conflict with tho clos?
ing week of the Maryland season at
Pimlico and though the Prcakness, the
! great classic of the Maryland season,
will be run on Wednesday, the fact
cannot seriously affect the welcome
due the thoroughbred locally nor the ?
class of competition for the inaugural.
The feature of the opening day will [
be the Paumonok Handicap, of $5,000, at '
six furlongs, for three-year-olds and
upward. Forty-nine are eligible.
j Handicapper W. S. Vosburgh has as?
signed top weight to the gallant aged
I gelding Old Rosebud, which has effect
j ed a third comeback after breaking
I down. Old Rosebud, likely to start,
i has been asked to shoulder 134 pounds.
I Motor Cop will have to tote 133 pounds,
! and Old Koenig and Naturalist 128
I pounds each. War Cloud is in at 127
and Flags at 126. Among the others
I good ones are such names as Sunny |
Slope, Hollister, Trompe La Morte, Pur?
chase, The Wanderer, Papp, Wigstone,
Pen Rose, Toto, My Friend, Thunder?
storm, Routledge, Jack Hare, Jr., Jock
Scot, Vindex, Hannibel, Blue Laddie,!
Lord Brighton, Fairy Wand, Elfin
Queen, Pigeon Wing, Rodgcrs and a ;
host of others.
Out of the exceptionally classy list I
of eligibles it is almost certain that a
good field will be provided. As a usual !
thing, the one with early speed has the i
best chance in this event because of
the turns and the short stretch. The
field should not be lacking in speed if
the best eligibles accept the issue.
Every circumstance which by the
broadest conception may be figured as
giving a true line on sentiment por?
tends for the current year the greatest
sporting season of America's brilliant
history. The popular demand for re?
laxation and recreation, following the
horrors of four and a half years of
cruel world war, has been evidenced on
every hand and in every locality to the
most obscure corner of the land ever
since the armistice was signed.
No more impressive testimony was
? needed to bring home the fact than the
local attendances, at the Polo Grounds
I and Ebbet3 Field, at last Sunday's ma
; jor league baseball games. Why, even
in the big towns at this very moment
they are falling with all the avidity of
? the "tanks" for our heavy headed,
1 heavyweight wrestlers.
The turf season of 1919 is going to
! be just as big, just as bright, just as
i great and just a ssuccessful as the
j truf solons care to make it. It is
strictly up to them. The public has

The swimmers of the Duluth Boat
! Club will visit Winnipeg, Canada, this

; aquatic gala of the Manitoba clubs
at the Cornish Baths. At the same
meet last year the Minnosota boys
took the lion's share of the honors
from their Dominion rivals and they i
arc expected to repeat the feat in the ?
coming engagement. '
Mrs. Frances Cowells Schroth, of San |
Francisco, leading mermaid of North- j
crn California, has again changed her ;
eoach and will be trained for the j
summer season by Clarence Keernan, j
who gained some prominence a year j
ago as a long distance swimmer.
The recent high school swimming ?
championships in Pittsburgh wer? feat- '
ured by several excellent performances, \
including a 40-yard free-style dash in '
20 3-5 seconds by Patrick Corr, of
Allegheny, High School, and a 100
yard breast stroke swim in 1 minute
19 seconds by J. Calvert, of Peabody
School.
Miss Marie Curtis, ot Northern High
School, Detroit, has been showing such
fast freo style and back stroke swim?
ming in practice that he coach, Tom
Clemens, feels confident she will be
bidding for national laurels before
long.
The men's national junior 100-yard :
title swim had to be postponed last
wee?, and will be run off to-day at
Alameda, Cal.
Perry McGilMvray, of the Illinois !
A. <:., of Chicago, national champion
and world's recordist in swimming, has
tranafered his residence to Racine,
Wis., and it is feared he will not be
s frequent competitor hereafter.
sport. Goodness knows, its patience
has been tried time after time?has
been stretched, to the breaking point.
But with peace restored the long suf?
fering public is willing to forgive if
not forget and open an entirely new
book.
Future of Turf at Stake
The future of the turf is up to the
conduct of the big men in control.
And, unfortunately, these august per?
sonages have not always treated the
public according to its just deserts.
j After all it is the public which foots
the bills. It is the public which
should come first, always. The pub?
lic to racing is vastly more important
than the multi-millionaire owners; the
little owners; the great trainers; the
obscure trainers; the jockeys; the
bookmakers or the touts.
It is the personal opinion of the
writer that what the metropolitan turf
to-day stands most greatly in need of
is fearless initiative in the stewards'
stand?a fearlessness that knows no
discrimination between the operations
of the millionaire and the poor man,
run down at the heels, trying to get
by as best he can. A fitting solution
seems possible in a paid stewardship.
Certain of our venerable officials seem
to have grown either too old to see 01
too guileless to suspect.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. The paid stewardship idea is
no wild theory. Its advantages were
proven conclusively at the fall meeting
of Empire City last season. Chrif
Fitzgerald had charge of the Yonker?
course. He conducted the meeting
fearlessly, fairly and without mincing
matters. He showed the jrate to some
few of our prominent jockeys who ap?
peared to care little for the sentiment
of the public.
His iron rule played no favoritism
And the result was the cleanest
squarest race meet of the year. The
improvement was reflected in the mosl
brilliant competition seen hereabout ir
Everything Is Set for a
Record Ovation to thf

many years. Needless to say, Fitz
gerald will be in charge of both Empin
City meetings this year.
It is not alone the opinion of th<
writer?any number of prominen
horsemen nave voiced the same senti
ment to him?that that great am
I august body,' the Jockey Club, is in
i clined to be, well?just a bit too mud

i bills for the sport of kings. The Jocke;
j Club is composed of men beyond re
' proach and above suspicion. And yet
j it seems, it should realize that th
best way to gain the full confidence o
the public might be to take the publi
I into its confidence.
Public Should Know
The public surely is entitled to knov
the whys and wherefores of the raos

country. Autocracy is bound to com

Canine Union Holds Meet?
ing That Is Conceded To
Be a Howling Success
An important meeting of the British
: Canine Union was held recently, ac
cording to "The Sketch," at Kenne
Hall, London, under the presidency ot
I Lord St. Bernard. Delegates from everj
part of the United Kingdom attended
and the speeches were significant foi
j the sincerity of their matter and th?
' fervor of their delivery. A scries of
demands was drawn up and unani?
mously approved, and will be brought
without delay to the notice of the gov?
ernment.
The Earl of Mastiff, whose rising wag
the signal for an astonishing scene of
enthusiasm, many of the delegates
leaping high into the air as a mark
of esteem, said that tiiey were not as?
sembled that evening in such represen?
tative numbers to growl. (Loud yaps.)
No Time to Growl
Growling was all very well in the
right place and at the right time. But
the present was not one of those oc?
casions. They wore all patriots at
heart (loud and continued yapping),
and they meant well by their country.
But the conditions of dog life afforded
vast scope for improvement. (Ulula?
tions.) Food, kennels, liberty and the
attitude of the public toward their
species-all these things must be im?
proved, and that without delay. ( Much
yapping.)
Sir w. H. Terrier rose in support of
the previous speakers. He was not a
large dog, and he did not pretend to be
a large clog, but he ventured to say
that he represented the largest and
most popular class of dog in this coun?
try. (Some disturbance.) Let them
yap. The statement was true, and
they knew it. (Further disturbance.)
Speaking for himself he was not to be
overawed by any bulldog in the room.
As for collies and retrievers, they were
not genuine fighting dogs. (Terrific
disturbance.)
The president, making himself heard
with considerable difficulty, urged on
the speaker and the meeting generally
the necessity of avoiding personalities.
No lasting good would be done by
quarrelling among themselves. It
might be urged that he was not a
fighting dog. That was true. At the
same time if Sir W. H. Terrier or any
other delegate was anxious for a
small scrap in the yard outside the
hall-(The remainder of the speech
was drowned by delighted barks and
almost every tail in the room was seen
to wag.)
Lady Spaniel desired to protest
against, the practical exclusion of lap
dogs from the number of delegates.
She was a lapdog and her family had
been favored by royalty. Personally. :
she had nothing to complain of, and ?
thought the whole meeting in the very I
worst of taste. (At this juncture,
amid the wildest uproar, her ladyship
was taken by the scruff of the neck
and removed from the building. A
vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. G.
Dane for this prompt and effective
measure. )
After further speeches, the following
demands were drawn and passed with
every sign of approval:
List of Demands
1. That the British Canine Union de?
sires to call tho attention of the gov?
ernment to the urgent necessity for
improving the living conditions of dogs
in this country.
2. That rationing of biscuits, meat
and bones should be instantly can?
celled.
3. That no dog should be kept on the
chain during the hours of daylight for
more than one hour at a stretch or two
hours in all.
4. That all notices in parks and other
public places as to the exclusion of
dogs wore an insult to the species and
should bo instantly removed.
5. That no dog should be turned out
in weather considered unfit for human
beings.
6. That in the caso of dogs kept in?
doors at night it should be considered
unlawful to place boxes, books and
Dther discouraging impedimenta on
:hairs, sofas or couches.
7. That no cats should be allowed to
.vcar claws of such length as to render
hem dangerous to the canine eye.
8. That the law of "One dog, one
Dite" should be amended to read "One
log, two bites" in the case of boys,
ramps and other natural enemies to
he members of the union.
9. That all performances by dogs in
nu8ic halls and other so-called places
if entertainment should be instantly
?rohibited.
10. That no dog should be washed
fioro than once a month, and then not
iolently or aggressively or by inex
lerienccd people.
11. That dogs who had behaved with
onspicuous bravery during the war
hould be allowed to wear one, two or
lore chevrons, such chevrons entitling
hem to extra rations of good butcher's
leat and bones from which all nour
shment had not been previously ex
racted.
12. That the, British Canine Union
70uld take no "responsibility for the
onsequences should these demands
ot be acceded to forthwith?Keble

New York Y. G
Will Not Hold
Race or Cruise
i Declining of Lipton Chal?
lenge Expected to Restrict
Activities of the Club
?
Although the New York Yacht Club
has issued no official statement, it
seems highly improbable that the or?
ganization, the most important one of
its kind in the country if not in the
whole world, will go on a cruise or hold
any races this summer. There is a
feeling among the flag officers that
the club should be consistent and live
up to the answer given to Sir Thomas
Lipton when1 the Irish baronet in?
quired about a cup race this year.
At that time the New York Yacht
Club informed the owner of the Sham?
rock IV that it didnot think the pres?
ent summer the proper time for an in?
ternational cup race. It pointed out
that the reconstruction of the world
was of more importance than a race
for a yachting trophy, and that the men
interested in international yachting
would be entirely too busy solving
problems of grave importance to de?
vote any time to yac lit i ng.
Although all hands believed that in?
ternational yacht racing was out of the
question, many hoped that the Ncv
York Yacht Club wouid take some steps
toward reviving the sport this summer.
If it was impossible to hold a cruiiM-,
it was suggested that the club resume
the races that it formerly gave cat h
summer on Long Island Sound. It was
thought that, the Glen Cove Cups, tic
annual regatta, the summer regatta
and the Autumn Cup races could he
held, even if they brought only a small
fleet to the starting line.
Rates for .Members Only
(if course, these races arc only for
members of the New York Yacht Club.
In fact, the ctub gives no open rare?.
Also, the organization recognizes no
sailing yacht that is smaller than the
popular thirty-footer of the club. It
means, therefore, that only iarge yachts
race in the regattas of the club. A
careful canvass of the owners Bhowed
that few if ftny of the yachts will be
in commission this summer.
Take as an example the fifty-footers
built in 1913 for the members of the
New York Yacht Club. Among the
owners of this interesting division are
some of the richest and most impor?
tant men in the country. Commodore
I. P. Morgan owns the Craylin^. Rear
Commodore George Nichols, his son
in-law, owns the Carolina. Former
Commodore George F. Baker, jr.. owns
ihe Ventura. Then there are the Acu^h
a, which now belongs to L. G, Ham
;rsley; Samurai, which W. Earl Dodjre
formerly sailed; Harry Fayne Whit?
ney's Barbara; Spartan, which was
jwned by Henry B. Plant, and iroquois
[I, the property of Ralph Ellis.
Recently the owners of the class
nad a meeting and took up the ques?
tion of goir.g into commission and
resuming their former championship
?acing. When it was discovered what.
t would cost, it '.val quickly decided
.hat the, lifty-footors would not take
.o the water as a class. Regardless
>? the fact that the owners included
icveral o!' the richest men in the coun
ry, all decided that the racing of a
ifty-'footer this summer was out of all
?roportion to the enjoyment or benefit
eceived from the snort. In round
igures it would cost about Si7nnn t?
Keep a lifty-footer in commission dur?
ing the summer months.
Even the owners of the thirty-footers
arc up in the air regarding class rac?
ing. Although they have had no meet?
ing, there seems to be little or no pos?
sible, chance of the yachts racing an
a division. Although the thirty-foot
owners are wealthy men, the majority
are not in the same financial class as
the yachtsmen who race the fifty
footers. Naturally they also are being
hit by the high cost of yachting.
High Cost of Sailors
The owner of a thirty-footer gen?
erally has one and some times two
paid hands. Back in 11)14 you could
engage all the sailors you wanted for
$35 or $40 a month, clothes and found.
To-dav tho same men are demanding
$190 and $200 a month, clothes and
found. One can hardly blame the men.
They contend they are making that
money on shore in the shipyards and
in the commercial end of the world
of boats. Be that as it may, the in?
crease is so large that several of the
thirty-foot owners have thrown up
their hands and have decided not to
go into commission this summer.
In these circumstances, the out?
look for the racing of large yachts
looks very slim this summer. A pro;-i
inent owner of a fifty-footer stated trie
other day that he was thinking of
buying into the Star class, providing
he could purchase one of the little
boats. It is no easy matter to either
buy or build a Star boat these day.;,
rhe Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht
Jlub, an organization which is the
'home club" of the exclusive north
?h?re colony of Long Isiand, though'
hat it would add to its fleet anothei
;lass of small yachts.
