NEW TOP.K. March S.-Many lawn tan-
ala players are wandering whether any
thing will coma of tha effort being made
to bring about a change In the present
method of representation In the United
States National Lawn Tennis associa
tion. Th matter will com up at th
annual meeting of the association on
February S, at which time ths committee
on, representation, which waa appointed
at. tha last annual meeting, I expected
to make Its report- Thl committee con
sists of Joseph R. Carpenter, Jr., Phila

MnnetonJia Yacht club,, Minneapolis,
Minn.; Calhoun Oragln, Wast Bids Tennis
club. New York; Frederick C. Colston,
Baltimore Country elub, and Thomas C.
Bandy, Loa Angeles (Cal.) ' Country club.
Tha appointment of this, committee by
President Jamas D wight last summer
waa tha result of so agitation watch ha
bean going oa for a number ot years.
Calhoun Crajgla haa barn one of th moat
peretetent advocate of a change In tha
yitem of representatloe, and tw years
ago a committee ot which h was th
head brought la a report making certain
recommendations. These did not meet
with taror, however, and when they
war discussed at tha annual masting
I hey were voted down.. Cragln haa kept
up ths fight, nevertheless, and at tha last
annual meeting th taking ot a proxy
rata ea th matter at a tat boor waa
avoided only by the promise that another
committee weuld be appointed to study

Two classes of members compos th
organisation of lbs National Bsaodafloa
-clubs and associations ot clubs., Th
former haa en vols and ths latter three
or more, depending oa the number ot
elub la their organisation. Th con
tention of Cragla and hi supporters Is
that It I manifestly unfair te glr a (tub

in the council of th association as an
other having a hundred or upward. la
the discussions that have takes plaos
It baa bean pointed out that there are
etuse having lees thaa halt a dosta mem

the Wert side Tennla club, which baa
more than SO member.
Tha absurdity at this la recognised, but
what stands la th way I tb difficulty
of finding a new systsm that will be sat
isfactory all around. For example, If a
large club la given more votes It must.
of course, pay more dues; and to thl
some of the club would object most
strenuously. Again, there Is admitted
dlffloulty In fixing tb vol of club that

and some of them are naturally averse
to having any change whatever made.
And, ae they are very Influential In the
councils ot th association. It hi obvious
that any plan eubmltted by the com
mittee must be satisfactory to them in
order to have much, c ha net ot going
inrougn.
(ampaaltloa at Cemmlttr.
The composition of the committee It
self ha a vary decided bearing on the
matter. Two of the members, Messrs
Carpenter and Colatoa, represent big
erlckot and country club of th kind
referred to, while another, Ward C. Bar
ton, come from a yacht elub which has
only a small number ot tennis members.
Bundy I la aa Interim nate class, for
he haa affUlatlona with both oountry
club and tennle organisation. Thla
leaves Cragla aa tha one member of the
committee who Interact are solely with
a tennla dub.
At tha asms Urn there Is sxcellrnt
authority for saying that the other
membere of the aommlltee are not hoa
II 'e to any change. They merely reo
ognlxe the great difficulties standing In
the way of finding a systsat that will
serve the Interest of all the member of
th association tha clasas mentioned
and the "hotel" members, who form
still another element There are about
a dosaa of these, mostly clubi formed
for th purpose of conducting tourna
ment held at hotela.
So great has become tha need of a
revtclon of the coniUtution and by-laws
of the association that It will be takes
up In earnest at th annual meeting. The
natrument ta an ancient one, having
barn adopted at tha "lawn tennla con-
etitlon" which met at tha Fifth Avenue
hotel. New York, Saturday. May fl. 1WI.
tnce than It haa been tinkered with at
'ueoesalve annual meetings, but It still

government ot a body numbering less
haa a score of ctuee, but whiob has now

At a meeting of th executive com
mittee held la December th subject ot
a revision waa brought up. and It waa
decided ta neommend to ths annual
meeting that "th association authorise
THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 26.
Train Hit Him
the appointment of a. committee to con
sider a revision ot tb constitution and
by-law, and to have any amendment
which they may propoe Included In the
call for the annual meeting." Thla haa
sow been dons, and official actloa of
soma sort will be taken on February a
Adapt Xew Coaetttalloo.
Although the recommendation apeak of
a "revision," It would not be surpris
ing If n entire new constitution should
be ad-pled. Thl I favored by th exa-
jutlve committee, while the membership
at large will undoubtedly weloome the
proposal. Tha present plan la to appoint
a committee containing one or more law
yers, la order that tha verbiage as well
aa the form of th new document shall
be beyond criticism. Only one of the
present officer I a lawyer. Richard
Stevens, but thl doe not mak any
material difference, a tha Intention la
to form a committee largely outside of
the present executive committee.
Many close observers believe that be
fore the work 1 concluded the entire
scheme of government of the association
will be changed.
There I a strong likelihood that a pro
posal to require the champion to play
through and to restrict the entry list at
the national championship will corns be
fore the annual meeting. Just what
strength will be behind them cannot be
said at present, but It Is not probable
that either will be adopted. To require
the champion to play through, after per
mitting him to stand out for twenty-flv
years, would be a move bo roaring on
the revolutionary, . and, entirely aside
for the sentimental side, there Is no rea
son to believe that the foroea behind the
present plan ara too strong to be dis
lodged, sspecislly at tha first attempt.
The other proposal to restrict the entry
ut at the national championship meet
ing will meet with much more favor.
Th list ha grown so that It la axoeed
mgly difficult to hsndls tt Last year
the entries exceeded so, at least two
thirds .of whom bsd absolutely no chance
of getting beyond the first few rounds,
and nearly tw, weeks would have been
require tor tee . tournameat. evea .had
there bee no rain. If a aaslstactory
plan could be devised to keep down the
eslrles , H would undoubtedly receive
trong enough support,, although many
players feel that a big list la good for
the game and ahould be encouraged.
One of the plan that will be brought
forward provides for the aubmlastoa of
tha name of prtwpecttt entrants, first
te their horn club 'and than te the
executive committee of the national easo
clatloa. before being accepted. ' Thl I
merely the outline of the plea, and It
will undoubtedly be elaborated at the
meeting.
It le Interesting to recall that the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis association voted down
a plaa to restrict the entry at the Eng
lish championship la November.
Women Will Enter

NEW YORK. March Women ara to
be admitted ss competitors to the na
tional championship tournaments of the
Amateur Fencers' league of America.
That wa th declaration of Dr. Oraem
M. Hammond, president of the league,
and he even went further la stating that
the Fencers' club ot New York was about
to inaugurate a series of weekly eotreee
la which teams of woman fencers, with
tolls, would meet teams of men.
According to several of the leading ef
flcials of the league tb Interest among
women haa been cumulated and sharpened
by the visit of the Baroness da Meyer to
this country and her bouts. The fair
wield ers of the steel blade are now
anxious for open competition. Th result
m thst th Amateur Fencers league of
America haa decided to conduct cham
pionship bouts in class for women thl
esson for the first time la the history
of fencing In thl oountry. -
Dr. Hammond wag enthusiastic over
the plan. "Tha program for the cham
pionship titles and the divisions remains
to be determined upon," he aald. "The
league will officially offer tha usual
medals, but It le Jlkely that Colonel Rob
ert M. Thompooa also will offer -a
valuable trophy aa a prise for a team
match, or something of that sort, as he
has been greatly. Interested In furthering

Thompson svea want ae far aa to get
Charles Tathanv W. Scott O'Connor aad
others to suggest lists of women fencers
who might be prevailed upon to com to
open competition. Th appearance of the
Baroness da Meyer, the Interest shows
by the Colony club and ether Incidents
have brought the women forward, so that
fencing bouts promise to become even
more popular than bridge.'

of exercise, their melabollem may be de

Tabby lasy animals, but no physiologist
doubts that they llv mora hyclenlcally

masters or rnlstroassa, although many of
these domestic pets, too, that are city

exercise they really require. Hut like

perhaps the second moat efficient rea

A third reason obviously Is the evening

unduly waste the sleep-time.
A last reason that may be recalled for
our sleep deficiency Is ths vicious circle
of nerve-cell exhaustion that makes sleep
