National Lawn Tennis Association Plans 1920 Reforms
The National Lawn Tennis Association held its annual meeting this afternoon. The treasurer reported a balance on hand of 25,684.31 and year expenses exceeded receipts by about 300. The dues and admission to big championship matches should rise in 1920 to cover extra costs from sending teams to the Davis Cup and English championships and other foreign matches. The Davis Cup committee recommended the United States challenge Australia this year and enter the English championship, with entries due by March 1. They also urged entering a team in the Olympic championships. The executive committee would decide team entries for the Davis Cup, English championship and Olympic games, aiming for earlier Olympic dates so the American team can also compete in Antwerp and return for the U S national championships at Boston in late August.
