Me YHAR BRftlRS tlJ J \ft CHORUS MAtJ \ J AT TOURNAMENTS Tennis and Golf Associations Are Going to Do Some Pruning. i (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 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."
