CLUBS T0 CHARGE FORFOOD, LODGING Some of Larger Ones Adopt Rule and Others Likely to Follow Suit. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, April 15.—Clouds, N not large, but ominous to amateur lawn tennis play- ers, mark the dawn of the 1031 season. Unsettled conditions 1s the forecast. Indications are that players faring forth to important tourna- ments at delightful clubs must provide themselves with check- books as well as the inevitable memorandum booklets. They will learn what some who are older know, that not always is it more blessed to give than to receive. But, since it is for the good of their souls and of the game in which they are ex- pert, it is hoped the lesson will not be oo bitter. ‘Trouble for them lies in the decision of several prominent clubs, whlch hold important tournaments in the Spring and Summer, to charge players a nomi- nal sum for board and lodging. Thi sum will not cover the cost of enter- taining a player guest, but it will give a tone of amateur respectablility to the visit of the gifted racquet wielder and thus, it is believed, will mark definite progress toward the solution of the amateur problem in the sport. Others Due to Act. is | are the “tl;:rh pleasant for its officers and va- gel for - rious committees. On '.h'; other fllnd. wm:umn dllllb' trying ve players a self-respecting status as :’uuu lnd other clubs meet- Il&o expense accounts in full, the situ- ation might bewma difcult. Players being human, would mwn.uy X::g: handling finances in mz old way. Indeed, it is not at all clear that the idea of making players pay something for their board and lodging can be made practicable unless a great ma- Jority of clubs ndopt it. Unless this vfem it may well be that as a result of concerning o o &b to ey any crpenses a or & clul pay an: whatever will be enacted next ter Iry the United States Lawn Tennis As- iation. And it would be & rule that enroreed because the tennis -uoclsuon is a powerful organi- zation. It has lb‘olllh -unonty in the awarding and -nctlmun‘ of tourna- ments throughout country lnd clubs or players who 80 conduct selves as to fall out of the good graces of the association find u:mnelm dis- tinctly out of luck.

They never invite outstand pll L{lelr courts and they fo m.wn in a perfectly simple and hlppy manner. There are no more than 30 clubs throughout the country whose tourna- ment demands have enabled _tennis phyen to live from January to October on their expense money earnings.

Rec- ognition of this score, rolled in Balti- more in a mixed doubles match, termi- nates the reign as high man of Howard Ryon, who rolled & 190 in 1927 in the Masonic League. No other duckpin mark is more often tried for than the high game, and in ces, such bowlers as Sam avlfl‘,ic?;l':nAl Work and Arlie Webb have rolled 200 or better, but they were in independent games, sans & foul-line Jjudge.
