ATLANTA MAN IS ATTENDING NATIONAL TENNIS MEETING At th, m sating of lbs National Lawn Tannla Association, which will be held In New York -Tuesday, the Southern Lawn Tennis Association, will be rep* resented by L. D. Hcott, of Atlanta, who Is a member of the executive com- mlttee of the N. U T. A. and also an officer In the Southern Lawn Tennis Association. The only business to come before the meeltns which Is of Interest to the South Is the proposal to have South* em doubles and slnglss teams compete for the Inter-sectional championship. Local men have been corresponding about the admission of a Southern team and feel sure that the deal can be put through.The only objection made Is on the ground that It would extend this event too long, but as only one more match will be required It 1s felt here that this objection Is hardly a good one.

The report that Charles Murphy uses one typewriter with chcIi hand is grossly exaggerated. ~ A Savannah dispatch states that “Owner Crabtree is here with HIS string, including Nut Boy.” Probably Savannah could not be expected to know that “Owner Crabtree” is none other than the famous actress, Lotts Crabtree. At last they have hit at Jockpv Kent and the news comes Kaat that he has been ruled off at Los Angeles. This boy was „» rather notorious character, and it was his rough riding that spilled Jockey Fuller one snd day and rendered that bov a hope less cripple.

The question which both ers a great number of fans Is: Would Frank’s team have made a better rec ord If the manager had applied the hit and run game more? The answer Is very easy. The reaulte ..would not have been so great for the reason that in the two seasons When he could have bettered his record he did not have enough bai ters to play that sort of game.
