PROBLEM FOR THE ASSOCIATION National Organisation Left on l.lmb hj the Attltade of ,w Follow, ra of the Clay C'oart 1 Contests. KEW YORK, May 7.-The fascinating them of lawn tennis and Ita national aspect's, from the American standpoint, re cently produced a lively and entcrtalnlna: debate between two devotee of the game, who alao hold position aa club officials. JWlthout Intending any criticism of the Vntted State Uwn Tennta association fur ita aha re. In pat lawn tennis history," said one of tha. expert player,' "It .la certain that Ita position toward ihe same; will be put to the teat during the eninlns; season. From all aectlona of the country, and espe cially the wear, where t,he newly Instituted clay court championship bf the 1'nlted Statea haa aarved aa Inspiration, there la a marked Increase In the number of those seeking the pa at I me of the courta. Now tha question that cornea Into the mlnda of aome of ua la: Is It to be ahown that the laws and rules of the game mean some thing and' are to be observed, or are they to stand aa only something to be Inter preted or violated according to agreements between friendly competitors? f Power to Westward. "There Is no evading the fact that the national association and the active mem- j bera of the executive committee are to be more closely judged by their acta this year than in the past. It Is not shooting wide of the mark to predict that another year more power will be vested In representatives from the west, and even the Pacific coast. The time has arrived for the governing Body to face the conditions squarely and realle that no longer la lawn tennis the favorite game of a select few in the east ern atatea, but Is a sport played ardently by upwards of 4,,000 of our population from Canada to the gulf, and from the At lantlc'ocean to the Pacific. 'The determined attitude of the western players at the last annual meeting stands aa the handwriting on the wall. Vr. P. B. Hawk, who Is a leader In that section of cr ne country, and the othera associated, with htm, have declared that there the ruiea wlU be strictly observed. Bo the east may not do otherwise. Altogether, players here have been dissatisfied with the en forcement of rules upon one special court, or In a special match of a tournament, and all . others decided In a haphazard manner. If ruiea apply to one group of players or match, all should be so gov erned and Judged. The unfalrnexs of mak ing one player the especial victim of a foot-fault JudfTe, and allowing others to go free, has already provoked to outbursts of excusable auger. The opportunity fop a general enforcement of all the rules and lawn tennis Is remarkably free from the manifold technicalities surrounding other sports la In the hands of the national as sociation. Heveral of the executive com-' mlttee In the past have endeavored to place the burden of Infringements upon the clubs. Certainly the clubs are in a measure re sponsible, but their laxity carried :ui penalty for flagrant Infringements, and so nothing Is accomplished beyond an un pleasant discussion that ends nowhere." (rowth Due to Merit. The continuance of the discussion em phasized the belief that "with the wide spread growth of the game throughout the oountry a growth due aolely to merit, and aol to the boom of promoted fostering- that conditions were to be materially Im proved tills season. Among the most im portant clubs there Is a concerted effort toward enrolling an adequate staff of um pires and llncamen before tho actual com petitions of the tournaments begin. Cnderneai'h the subject of rule enforce ment and the position the national asso ciation may take in governing, crops out a spirit of Intense rivalry. At last tho west looms as a menace to the supremacy of the east upon the courts.. Westerners have declared. In no spirit of bonstfulness, that In tournament management they excell:d the east. Then the west has set ttvelf the task of building up premier champtonvhlp lists that will surpass oilier sections of the country.

NEW YORK. May 7. -A meeting of the International Olympic committee has been called for the second week in June at Lux- emburg for the purpose it Is said, of pass lag on the program of the games at Sweden In 1912. This program haa already been ar ranged and will be presented by Colonel Balck and Comte Clarence de Rosen, the Swedish representative on the International jury', and to Judge from the cursory allu sions about ita . make-up It will not be nearly as long as the program of the Eng lish Olymple two years ago. Such sports as football, archery, boxing, golf, hockey, lacrosse, racquets, tennis, motorboat racing and polo are to be ex cluded, but there are to be' a few events belonging to the track and field depart ment which were not Included In the Eng lish list. One Is the pentathlum or all around championship. This: was given In the program at Athens In 1906 and wa won by Mellander, a Swede. Colonel Balck, It is said, will suggest that the entire fixture cover about ten days and that the entries from each country be made through their rerpectlve governing bodies to the Interna tional committee. . The Swedes will also suggest that the date of their games be fixed for the early part of the month of June. The 'work -of constructing the stadium, near Stockholm, ha progressed consider ably. The stadium Is situated In the Idrottsparken. near the city of Stockholm, on a picturesque site. As to the success of the fixture there need surely be no dwibt. for the Swedish government Is behind It and the crown prince will be the president of the meet. The Kovernment has donated 4CC.000 francs toward the expenses of erect ing the stadium and other Incidentals. The Swedish Sporting association have come forward with their help and have contrib uted the sum of 100.000 francs toward the expense fund. The Swedes say they will carry out the program much the same way as the English did and they will .Imitate the London management as much as pos- iioie.

FOUL TIPS CATCHERS' BANE Tom Needham, Old Backstop, Relates Experiences. STORY OF BATTERED HAND Crippled Members Tell Tale of Many Accidents Behind the Bat Some Are Born - 1 nder l.nckr Star. NEW YORK, May "."Some catchers must have been born under lucky stars. Certainly I wasn't," says Tom Needham, a veteran big league catcher. "When base ball fans discuss the various' players with perfect hands, few stop to consider the backstops who have been In the game year after year without sustaining injuries' oUier than alight dislocations. But the doctors and surgeons have been a busy lot of men affixing finger splints and binding up the tape since base ball was adopted as the national pastime. Speaking of the disabled catchers it happens to be .my lot to register among the badly bent species. Ten years ago I had two perfect hands. Save for a few scars which bore mute testimony to my greenness as a tamer of white rats and a group of freckles there wasn't a blemish on elHer mitt. Now I am ashamed to loolr at them. "Foul tfps, the bane of all catchers, have altered the general appearance of ' my paws. The fingers of my right hand have been maimed or splintered so often I can scarcely cite all the Instances. It was one of George Mutlln's fast balls, accompanied by a foul tip, that smashed the little finger of ' the pegging hand years ago. when . I was connected with the Grand Rapids of the Interstate league. Charles Plttlnger, now dead, broke the first finger of the same hand In 1904. The gnarled effect of my index finger speaks for the speed of Oscar Street. That happened while I waa catching with the Wheeling club. , Work 1 lider Difficulty. "Oftentimes catchers,, though hurt, are asked to work dally under i, .. ful conditions. That happened to me after Vic Willis, now of the St. Louis Cardinals, had smashed the little finger of my throw ing hand In 100. Whllo playing on the Fort Wayne club of the Interstate league under Manager Miller, I had the mis fortune to break one finger. The club was tip In the pennant race and Miller refused to give me a lay-off until the finger re covered. Instead he compelled me to work fourteen games under penalty of a dis charge. 'Ca'tchlng at all times Is the most dan gerous position on the ball field. Take the case of Jack O'Nefll. the old Chicago player. . Ills hands were all shot to pieces In years of service, but the hardest blow came when a foul tip crashed through his inik, blinding him In one eye. This accident drove O'Neill from the diamond. Among the catchers who have been more or Hess fortunate, I would mention the namea of Roger Bresnahan of the Cardi nals, Tat Moran of the Cubs, Charley Pooln or Philadelphia Nationals, Gibson of Pittsburg, Admiral Schlel of the Giants, Billy Hirgen of Brooklyn and Johnny Kling. None of those catchers haa been seriously hurt . behind the bat. Irry McLean, Jimmy Archer. Billy Sullivan. Joe Sugden.' Frank Bowerman, belong in my class as regards hard luck. Chance of the Cubs, who held down a catcher's job for tn years prior to going to first base, is another of the unlucky players. How They Work. "No two catchers work alike. That's undoubtedly the reason catchers who go through game after game without hurt ing their hands usually suffer Injuries about the legs, yet my hands art always getting In the way of foul tips. "Catchers also are a aupersttttous lot. One won't permit another to touch hl glove lest some hoodoo might follow. Kach catcher has his own particular model, the same as batters have their favorite stick. These gloves are made per order In glove factories. There must be more than 100 different dealgns, which goes to show the little eccentricities of the catchers. One backstop w1 catch the ball high up on his glove, another will receive it right In the middle of the mitt, and oth ers have different spots well worn Into the leather and padding showing clearly where the ball lands.' lllarh School Tennis nonhles.

Coaches and Gridiron Experts from Several Colleges Giving Amended Rules a Tryout. DE8 MOINES, la.. May -.-(Special.) "Iowu's School of New Foot Ball" has started ita classes on the Drake stadium. At the first session there were present a large number of coaches around this city and Coach Clyde Williams of Ames and many former gridiron heroes. Experi ments, numerous and varied, were tried. Among those who attended the first class In the new school were: John L.. Griffith, Drake coach; Clyde Williams, Ames coach; John Van Llew, Fast High coach; Kobert ..tun. West lilsh coach; Dr, Thomak Burcham, prominent official and former coach and player; W. Carlson, former East High player; A. Carlson, former East High player, and W. G. Stevenson, class team coach, at Drake. The entire time was consumed In devis ing plays to advance the ball. It was dis covered that the only plays that were suc cessful were the old-time "trick plays," consisting of delayed passes, fake runs, fake bucks, cross bucks, double buck and crifs-cross formations. .. The plays in which the straight buck into the Hue were used proved unsuccessful. It Is the- opinion of some of the' coaches that the spread formation will be used more than ever this year. A short-flipped for ward pass will be tried more or lesa also, in order to have the defense open up Kllghtly. More classes will be held this coming week and it la expected that the attendance will be gradually increased until all the experts In central Iowa will be responding to the roll cull.

RECALLED Kxperta Mow agree tho Left-llaadrrs Are 9ot to De Underrated la Con trol, Speed or Other Qnall tlea thai Wla Oatnea. MM. fc NEW YORK. May 7. It la a common ex pression In base ball that when a port aide pitcher goea through a game with one or two bases on balls "he had, good control for a left-hander." Aa a matter of fact, when It comra down to that there are some left-handers, and not by any means a striking scarcity of them, who have quite aa good control, day In and day oat. aa most right-handers. There are not any southpawa who have aa good con trol as Mathewson, but Mathewson baa ex ceptionally good control among right or left-handers. The two left-handed pltchera who have been In the box for the High landers this season have put the ball over the plate aa well aa any right-handers, those two being Vaughn and Frill. Vaughn haa ahown noticeably good control. Another left-hander whose control I nearly always conspicuously good, for a right or left-hander. Is Wiltse of the Giants. Control Is hla Ions uit. Plank of the Athletics la a left-hander who ha nice control aa a rule, and so haa Doc White of the White Sox. Among the left hander of the olden daya "Lady" Bald win waa possessed of effective command of the ball. Wlldnesa waa not among hla faults, while Matt Kllroy had fine control and Ed Morris knew how to and could put tho ball where he wanted to. Paaa a Good Many. It must be conceded, however, that the very best control Is shown by tha right handed pitchers. Also among the pitchers who did the most work last year two or three left-handera were conspicuous by the number of balls thery Issued. There was Klll'.an of the Tigers, for Instance. In 17J Innings, about nineteen games, he 'gave forty-nine passea to first, which la an average of ' nearly three strolls a game. Nan Rocker of the Brooklyn gave 101 bases on balls In thirty-eight games last year, which waa almost three a game. Three bases on balla a game doesn't seem so very many when you com to think of It, not enough to harp on wlldne. yet Rucker, next to Kllllan, gave moro bases on ball a game than any leading big league left-hander except Kllllan and Kar ger. . ' i Mattern,' ol the Boston Dove. It forty sevn games dispensed 101 promenade to first base. Lalfleld, of the Plttsburgs, gave only fifty-four In thirty-two game. Lush of the Cardinals, provided Uty-nlne walk In thirty-four game. In 275 innings, about thirty game, last year, Plank, walked bat ter sixty-two time, an average of a fraction over two. Waddell, In 220 innings, walked slightly over two men a game. Krause of the Athletic, averaged over two to a game, forty-nine walks In 220 Innings. Kllllan averaged close to three a game; White less than two, and Karger, who waa the "wildest" of any of the leading aouth paw. over three. Karger gave twenty-two base on balla in sixty-eight innings. Rlarht Hand Champions. By comparison, the work of several of the prominent right-hander Is given; Matthew son distributed only thirty-six base on balls in thirty-seven game. Brown gave fifty-three In fifty games, averaging lightly over one a game to Matty' less than one. .Camnit gave sixty-eight base in forty-ono games. Smith of the White Sox, gave seventy base on ball in 365 in nings; Mullen of the Detroit, aeventy eight In 303 Inning; Young of the Cleve lands, fifty-nine in 296 Innings; Bender of the Athletics, forty-five In 280 innings; Walsh of the White Box, fifty In 230 In nings; Jos of the Cleveland, thirty-one In 242 innings; Johnson of jth Washingtona, eighty-four In 297 Inning; Warhop .of the Highlander, eighty-one In 233 Innings, and Pclty, of the Browns, fifty-three In 199 In nings.

LAST TEAR'S EECORD WAS GOOD Ihlaa, Pealaa Maid, Tho Harvester la tha Field that Will da for Twe-Ulsate Goal. DETROIT, Mich., May V There were so many aensatlonal performance during the 1901 names aeason that do follower of the sport are already figuring on the chance for record-breaking performances during the coming racing year. The two minute mark appear to be the goal aimed at in an actual race, and there are sev eral candidate for a place In the charmed circle. There are at least five or six trotters who showed wonderful form last year that have ben picked as possible two-minute flyers in 1910, and the followers of the big line feel confident that the mark . will be reached thla year. In the matter of record breaking, last year wa sensational, to say the least, for marks that had withstood the assaults of a score or more of year yielded to the In evltable. Native Belle' 2-year-old per formance In 1:07, at the trot, being, of course, the moat meritorious. It Is rather early yet to obtain anw accurate Idea from that quarter. If any, 1 to come the young stera that will continue thla time-shading stunt. But this early In the season one thing in connection with tne time tilt I certain. It la that there will be lot of shooting at tha two-minute mark, and among - good Judges, four horse stand out' rather pre eminently a the moat likely to get down to tjie. two-minute figure. These four have all shown tbelr ability as race horses, and In thla respect differ somewhat from Lou Dillon, the world' trotting champion, of whom It may be aid, without detracting In the slightest from her glory a a record-breaker, that eh wa never a consistent race mare. Fair Promising; Candidate. The four to whom horsemen look aa at least furnishing the bulk of the enter tainment In endeavoring to attain the even two minute for the mile, are. In the order of their present records: Uhlan, J:024; Penlsa Maid, 2:0414; The Harvester, 1:XH. and Soprano. 1:084. as a 1-year-old. On the form he showed last season, the chances favor Uhlan, for which C. K. E. Billings, the present owner of Lou Dillon, paid 133,000 after Bob Proctor, the Read vllle, trainer, had marked him In 2:0a. Uhlan ha been wintering at Tnomasvllk, In the south, and I now at Memphis. While he will probably be used very largely for matinee racing by Mr. Billings, It Is cer tain, alao, that he will be sent to beat his record before the year Is out, Uhlan proved hi racing qualities last season In hi race with the great Hamburg Belle, forcing the mare to trot in 2:01'i and 1:014, the fastest two heats ever trot ted In a race. Uhlan turned the tables on Hamburg Belle at Readville, winning In 2:014 and :03H. and later trotted In 2:024. Sralner Proctor stated last year that he thought Uhlan would surely trot a mile In two minute this year, and good judges feel this prediction will come true. Banking on Penlsa Mid. According to M. D. Shutt of Rock Rapid, la.. If any trotter goea In an even two min ute the coming aeason It will be hla own little Penlsa Maid, that delicate but sweet galted little mare that wa quit the sensa tion of the Grand Circuit of 1909.

Last year he wa the ltgt money-winning trotter among the Ulllon. and showed a trial In time that wa faster than the record that bad stood for seventeen year for 4-year-old.
