FOREIGNER WILL ENTER BALK LINE TOURNAMENT Austria and Belgium will send delegate to the conference, while France will, of course, have Its representattvea there. For a number of years there haa been talk ot a world l championship lawn ten nis meeting. It la felt that the Davla pup I competition, while In a measure serving the purpose, bss never done ao fully lowing to Its being a. contest between ! nations instead of en between Individ uals. This feeling has gained In strength with each Tear th liana rup has been held in Australasia. It la pointed out that since 197 there haa been I no real competition among th "Vham- pun nations, to employ tna pnraaeoiogy of th Davis cup regulations. Inasmuch a Atnerlaa Is th only country that has rent a team to the antipodes, owing to the great distance and th amount of time required to make tha trip. It is re called that so long a the cup waa held in England all the other 'nation sent leanta to battle for It. . . . Tha same conditions of affairs would I prevail It America were the holding country. It Is said that the European nations were only waiting for tha cup to be brought back to America to challenge for It almuat In a body. Had tha New Zealand contest resulted differently the greatest lawn tennis competition In the world's history would have been held here thla year. Great Britain. Franc and Germany were ready to tend teams, and Australasia would almost certainly have challenged, with Brooke to cap tain Its team. In tha endeavor to regain what It has come to look upon as It own. There never haa been a world' lnn tennis championship instituted, and many people are disposed to conclude that it la not frastble to hold one. The principal tennl playing nationa are located so near each other with the exception of Australasia that no insuperable difficul ties exist, however. If European play ers were ready to cross the ocean In pur suit of the Davie cup they would be even more ready to do so If th prise were a real world's championship. If a Euro pean capital should be selected aa th locale of th matches, however, there would be even less trouble experienced m getting entries In the European cen ters. As for American players, there are probably half a dusen who would view with favor the plan of making a bid for titular honora Many Americans have contested for English championship hon ors st Wimbledon in th past, and sev. era! of th topnotrliera of today have been quietly turning ever the project of Having; m nr j r iw ine ciiaiiea title.

At the Budapest conference i last spring It waa decided that an athlete I could represent hla native country any time, even were he a naturalised cttlsena ot another country. Just now th rule applies to John Flannagan, tha present Olympic hammer champion, and who. It la understood, will be a contender at Stockholm. For several years Flanagan waa a resident here and successfully rep resented the United States In Paris In 100 and at London four yeara ago. 1-ast year he took a audden notion and went back to his borne in Ireland, where h competed all through tiia season, one ot hi star engagement being th Interna tional match between Hcotland and Ire land. All along It was well known that Flanna gan had his eye on th Hwedlsh fixture, and some of his friends here volunteered th information that he waa to keep In training through tba entire winter ao as te be well rounded up by July. Various rumors have been floating around abeut hi plans, one being that he was coming back and would make one of the Ameri can team once mors, but thts view was set at rest in a letter which was received by Baa Hherman of Harvard, a fellow hammer thrower. Th nft directed ether man to go e-4me Bi Bulllven, secre tary of the American Olympic commit tee, and Inquire If America would object If Flanagan represented the old country, or. If he cam back, a as he tllgibl to throw for America. Me Cesld fane Hark. Tha reply was that the hammer thrower could come back and wear the "tars and Stripe, or be could throw for England without protest en th part of America. In explaining th caaa flnlltven aald there waa nothing In the Olympic rules thst could prevent' Flanagan from pick ing his choice of tba two countries. Were h to decide In favor of America he would not even have to come bark here, II could May In Ireland up to the last minute when he could Join the Yankee team at Stockholm. Th only bother he would meet were he to come back here again for good would be that he would have to wait a full year before he could represent an American club, but In the meantime he could compete unattached. Th latest report about Flanagan I that he will represent tha 1'alted King dom, and the decision to Important In the fact that he will surely take soms points from America in th weights He will have the advantage, toe, ot knowing more about the style of missile used by the Swedes, whlls the men from here will be mere er lea in the dark until they land on the scene of action. That will be the wrong time te be experiment ing with any new implements. When the game were held in Paris Ju uea, it was the initial Introduction ot th hammer, and Flanagan won with a throw ot Ml feet. 4 Inches. He waa to the fore at Ht. Loul In MM with a pitch of las feet. 1 Inch, and made hla third win at t,ondon hi lM with in test. inches, which Is now th Olympic record. Several times last season Flanagan threw in th neigh. bee hood of 1st feet, so It I safe te assume that he will be Boat dangerous man at Sweden. a Sal...' .... K. ". V ..v. ., ,"---. ., erf v.- .

' Tssssr-- Pueblo's Threat is Not Taken to Heart by Base Ball Barons Pueblo s threat to begin legsl proceed ings against the transfer of the Pueblo ball club to Wichita are not considered seriously by those, who are familiar with the situation and with the constitution ol th Western league. Pueblo might cause a temporary tlrup In Western league affairs, but It Is not thought that the Colorado lown can win In th end. Technically Pueblo had no ball club last summer and has had no Western league franchise since it sold out to Bt. Joseph In th fall of 1MB. Mo far as th Western league magnates know, officially. I bell's club flnishid the aeason In Wichita last year. The league constitution provides that a transfer uf a club must be ratified by a three-fourths vote of the league meniiiers either by letter or win-. Tins vote was never taken w hen Mell w.'nt to Pueblo. The constitution alto -provides that a vote must be tik.n at the next league meeting following a transfer. So far a can be learned from I lie reticent magnates no auch vote was taken at the ChKago meeting In November. Frank Isbrll also la authority for the statement that he signed no paper agree ing to retain a Western league base ball club in Pueblo for anv stated time, and that he made no sucli oral agreement. Had he t.gned a contra t agreeing to ke-p the rluh In Pueblo It ou!d be void, for the constitution of tlie W'Stcrn league reres that rlnJit to the league.

NEW YORK, Jan. .-Wlth tha college oarsmen getting ready to begin their early Indoor training for the race next aeason, rowing expert In reviewing the season of 111 can hand first honor to Harvard. Yale and Harvard were brought Into competition with the crew a In the early season which later rowed at Poughkeepsle, and the result of their showed the superiority of the Crim son. The last aeason waa marked by th re entrants of Princeton Into Intercollegiate rowing after an absence ot over a quar ter of a orntury. By Ita tine perform ance, in competition with the veterans. Cornell and Yale. It Jumped Into the limelight of th rawing world. College rowing in the west also took a big boom, and a big western regatta may be held next year. The outlook for this year la most bright for even a greater college rowing year than tha record breaking en ot Mi. All ot tb crews will be on the rowing ma chines In a few days. At Poughkeepsle ths fight In all probability will be. aa it waa last yesr, between Cornell and Co lumbia. Courtney, as usual, ha an abundance of good material, II haa many veterans left. For th first Urn In yeara Columbia chances are moat encouraging at the be ginning of th year. As a rule few men, either eld or sew, come out. and tha uni versity haa to be raked over by Inside scouts. Even then soma of the really good ones present themselves only sftrr th beet are on the water, thus losing th Individual coaching for body work,, which Klc pays ao much attention I In doors that ha may have mora lime fur blade work later. IJke Cornell, Columbia' haa the bulk of last year crew. Including fltroka Isswnlng, who, by the way, la now cen tal n. Hlller, an excellent oar ot a couple of seasons ago. Is bark at rotleg and has an excellent took In for seat. Then there Is tha whole boatload of rattling good youngsters who so easily ran away from Cornell In last year's freshmen race, , t fall back upon. Itrwk la Different. The style of stroke at Columbia and Cornell have gradually drawn apart and bid fair to be even more radically dif ferent this year. It is well known that an outsider wh watches different crews year In and year out, detect change aa ee them between Interval, while the coach himself, whs I constantly with hla men, hi often oblivious to th gradual change. Cornell, without a doubt, haa increased Ih Mow part of th recover. A few years age th first three-quarter ot th allde on th recover was vary rapidly dona, and after that ram th alow down. Courtney baa decreased lha fast part ao much that to lha eye It seems as If the proper Uons were reversed and thst only the first quarter waa fast and the last three quarter slow. This I carried out In the awing. Rice has shortened his stroke. But ha has made thla change Intentionally. He haa cut out tba useless ever-reach. which bring the shoulders far forward and which makee tha men drop en the full reach, bringing the blades too high Just before the catch. In thi h lean slightly toward th Belgian style. The slight amount which be loses In length is made up for y tw things: (1) The more ra tional placing ot ths applied force and 13) quickness. v Vale Make Departure. After Its vicissitudes ot tha last few years. Yale has again mad sV radical departure, and the pendulum ot her row ing policy has once morn swung back iu the graduate coach system. Rogers, sti old KM rowing man. has been made head coach, but It I not at all impossible thst Bob Cook will be en hand, too. Tb old Tale coach has long been out ot It, but if ha can "come back" and teach rowing In the rare war that h once did. tb monotonous sents of Harvard victories may be broken. Th Canadlaa sculler. K. B. Butler. h won th American ainaie scull champion ship at Saratoga, waa the sensation ot the aeason. Starling comparatively re cently, he has gone up through the ranks at meteoric pare until he reached th top of the ladder last summer. An hour be fore th rare he waa not even eligible for the senior event, as he had to win the assoristloa singles to quality. Thla be did. and after a short rest went out for the big race. A a topper he, took the senior quarter-mile dash, beat ing ths hitherto almost invincible (for the distance) Fred Fueeasi. But in, ail three races be rowed hard only at the beginning snd end e th course. In each, event he ahot out. got a commanding lead, and then simply rowed well within, himself, keeping bis men safe. Just before finish he let out and won a be pies led. Ss we don't know what be really can do when be may chouse to cut loos. Thus It is that we have a youngster upon whom all rowing is th Road t ryes are tocnssis. na win neara list rem ssor this year. k ,
