SEVENTH REGIMENT BUSY Interest to Boom Game Xotlceable Throughout East IiOngwood Cricket Club Among Those Planning Intensive Activity. KEW YORK, Oct. 22. Ever since the distressingly doleful series of tourna ments straggled with -arying fortunes th'rough the months devoted, to lawn tennis upon the out-of-door courts, there has been considerable anxiety as to what fate would befall the competi tions upon the covered and housed playing surfaces. The fallacy of arbi trarily eliminating- all incentive from the competitive season is now fully appreciated by the players. There is a ral desire for tournaments, and so, at the turning: of the seasons from con tests under the sky to those under roofs there is more than the ordinary concern as to whether or not the mis takes of the past Summer are to be carried over into the Winter for fur ther discontent. The fact that scores of players have asked the question as to what was to be the fate of the in door season makes it all the pleasant r to reply that right at the time that the curtain is about to be rung up xipon the indoor courts it may be said ' that a boom is predicted and in pros pect. As the circus posters have a way of announcing:, more grandeur, glitter ing and gorgeous, than ever before may be hopefully foretold of plans for the competitions indoors. Lawn tennis upon covered courts so far as the American game is concerned Is the direct result of the energy and thoughtfulness devoted to this variety of lawn tennis by its followers In this .city, and of the Seventh Regiment in particular. The increase in the num mer of clubs making arrangements to play upon covered courts throughout the Winter is due to the splendid man ner in which the Seventh Regiment afforded the use of its armory to those who were interested when playing in doors was in its pioneer stages. Those who have gallantly labored to popular ize the contests and playing upon in door courts have felt that at this time, more than any other, it was proper to display the full strength of the game. They realized that all the prestige of past successes must be sustained, for as the annals of the game now stand it is only the National Indoor cham pionship titles that have not suffered lapse. Disappointments In Tennis. The knowledge that lawn tennis had passed through a lamentable series of disappointments since early in May de termined those who had anything to do with the indoor arrangements to put forth extraordinary efforts to boom the game this Winter. Officers of the Seventh Regiment Tennis Club took the initiative last night in this respect at a meeting held at their armory. The most Important item of their session for the followers of the game was the fact that all of the National champion ships are to stand and to be competed for without the lapse which wrought such disaster for the contests out of doors. The Longwood Cricket Club, of Boston, and the Indoor Club, of Phila delphia, as well as the Heights Casino, of Brooklyn, are all likewise to dis play intensive activity. The energetic efforts to increase the scope of the game upon the indoor courts at this time through the Sev enth Regiment and other armory clubs Is accepted among lawn tennis follow ers as equivalent to a declaration by the National Association that all tour nament titles and prizes will be re newed for next season. This is irre spective of what may be the war condi tions. All of those who are preparing to compete in the indoor tournaments are of the opinion that American lawn tennis will be re-established upon its old-time basis during the next year. The dissatisfaction due to the cancel lation of the championships has been preneral because it has been hurtful to the game without in any manner show ing a compensating benefit. After due contemplation it has been borne, in upon some of those who were most en thusiastic supporters of the. idea that it was wrong to contest the champion ships with the "champions absent," that practically one of the top 10, as it is at present listed, will in the future figure as formidable contenders. And so it is planned to bring about an en tire change, and to make the indoor tournaments furnish the dynamic forces lor a sptrltied season, and a revival when the championships move out upon the turf and clay courts next year. The date of Monday, December 24, has received due authorization as the day for beginning the National indoor Junior championship tournament on the feeventh Regiment courts. King Smith, who in the past has always acted as the referee of this tournament and the other interested officials have already begun to prepare for an entry list as representative as that of last season. when Elliott H. Binzen fought his way through to the title against the best field ever assembled in a Junior meet ing in this country. The holiday week between Christmas and New Year's has annually been receiving more atten tion from the Junior 'lovers of the Kame, bq mat ine -lsaom 01 selecting this time of the year for the tourna ment has undeniably justified itself. Practically two weeks have been set aside for the National indoor champion ship tournament for men. Following the time-honored custom, the first round matches will be played on Mon day. February 11, the day before Lin coin's birthday holiday. This will be following the annual meeting of the National governing body which thi year will probably be held on Friday, February 8. The date which has been sanctioned for the great American in door classic of the courts is regarded as a most happy one, as it will, it is hoped, attract many of the visiting delegates from other sections of the country and so add to its real National flavor. As the tournament continues on through Washington's birthday, it fills out the two weeks of the schedule. An elaborate programme of matches with college and club teams Is to fill in the weeks before the National tour nament, so that the inspiration for a record entry list Is not likely to be found wanting, nor a worthy, aspirant tor the honors held by S. Howard Vosh elL Those who have fought so ably to bulla up the game indoors are deter mined to continue its activity for greater achievements and as an aid to the players keeping: in perfect physical condition.
