Not Tennis, la White Houae Explana tion of Sunday Exercise. Special lo Tht Ntw York Timtt. WASHINGTON. May 23. If President Roosevelt plays tennis on Sunday, as va asserted in New York yesterday, he Indulges In that form of physical exercise In some place absolutely hidden from the eyes of any human beings other than those who help him play.

He has never used the White House court for the Sun day games he is supposed to have played. Assistant Secretary Forster at the White House to-day made an emphatlo denial on the subject of Sunday athletlo amusements so far as the President is concerned. A denial was not necessary for those who know the President's habits. Sunday Is his day of rest, although many people who have been Invited to help him tn taking his rest are inclined to think his rest and recreation are what would generally be called hard work or violent exeaclse. Walking and riding are his wayi for passing the hours when most other Americana are lolling: about.

Sunday morning it is walk to church and back again. Bunday afternoon the lure of the woods and green fields is too much to be resisted. If the day be wet and stormy a Ions walk over the hills In Virginia Is the most pleasing form of diversion and rest. If the day be pleas ant a rde through Rock Creek Park. often in company with Senator Lodge, Secretary Root, and Poatmaater General Meyer, or witn only one of them, is the form of tne exercise.

The President has never shown any In terest in any outdoor game supposed to ba suitable for gentlemen of his weight other than tennis. Golf does not appeal to him. His regard for baseball la not very high, for during all the years of his residence in Washington he has not attended more than half a dosen games. He Is not a Sabbatarian in the New England, sense of the word, nor does he hold to the Continental notion that games on Sunday are all right for the general public but conceivably any sort of amusement may be all right for persons who by reason of their occupation may be denied the enjoyment of the ordinary forms Of amusements at ordinary times.
