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.
