Tennis and Golf Associations
Are Going to Do
Some Pruning.

(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.?That a genera!
movement to curtalt entries at
various national championship tournaments
Is deemed necessary is
shown by the recent action of the
tonnis and golf associations. It has
become apparent that In order to prevent
such competitions from becoming
top-heavy and long drawn out, some
form of limitation in either the entry ;
or .play must be adopted. At the au-j
nual meeting of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association that;
body went upon record as favoring j
such a move by adopting new rcgula-j
lions governing the championship tournament
to be held ut the West Side
club, Forest Hills. L. I., beginning:
Thursday, August 30. I
These will prove of great interest.
Lo tennis pluycrs because they change j
the character of this event ?o the cv
tent that entrants will now be reqnir-.
ed to show some qualifications to jus-;
tlfy their competing for the national
title. These qualifications are not so
strict sb to change materially the open |
cuaraeter of the tournament, but they I
do prevent those who might be fairly \
described as having worse than un;
outside chance from . entering, mere-1
ly for the sake of playing in the national
championship. i
When tbo tournament was shifted
from Newport to New York It was
felt that in such a large tennis center
many players might enter, influenced
in part at least by the desire to sc
cure a player's ticket for tho matches
and to have the distinction of competing
in this event, although with
nut a possibility of coming through.
Practically here has been some tendency
(o restrict the entries by having
them made through club secretaries
and this has helped to prevent
tho tournament being clogged by tho
presence of some who could not be
considered as serious contenders.
This restriction wus not entirely effective,
however, aud It became necessary
to draw up more drastic entry
conditions. These were presented at
the annual meetings, and the dolegates
from clubs all over the country
seemed to bo cordially in favor of the
idea, as it wont througli without opposition.
Sonseipiently the following
stand as the qualifications which nil!
determine the acceptability of entries
for the nation championship in 1017:.
"Entries sha|t close on published
date at least ten days prior to the beginning
of play.
"Entries shall be open to players
In good standing belonging to clubs
or associations having membership
In the U. S. National Tenuis Assocla
ilon us follows:
"1. Players ho have been ranked
by tho U. S. N'utional Lawn Tennis
Association, during any of the five
(o) yetirs last preceding the tournament,
or who have at any time been
ranked in the first 20.
"2. Players who in tho last three
(3) years preceding the championship
have been semi-finalists or better in
my two tournaments sanctioned by
the U. S. X. L. T. A.
"3. Players who liuvc in the current
playing season played In not less
'nan threo (3) scnetloned tournaments

:o rule on the value of a player's record.
"4. Players who do not qualify lu
any of the above classed but whoso
entry 1b acceptable to the Executive
Committee by reason of residence in
foreign countries, promise of skill,
or other circumstances deemed sufficient
to cause exceptions iu their
cases.
"Entries shall be made through the
Secretary of a club belonging to the
U. S. N. L. T. A."
