erased II out of his II birds, and would
have had a clean score had it not been for

LAWN TENNIS.

Opening of the Olympic COurts-origin
of the Game.
The formal opening OF the Olympic Clubs
tennis grounds will take place on the 25th inst
The crack players from the clubs OF this city and
Oakland have signified their tentlon of being
present and a gala days sport is anticipated.
The Oakland and Lakeside clubs are prepar
Ing for Tie summer tournaments, the principal
one OF which will be held al San Rafael IN july
While The game Of lawn-tennis is OF compare
lively modern origin, first having become popular
IN 1874, cOurt-tennis is a very ancient pastme,
and som authorities claim that il can be traced
10 1922, while others are of the opinion that ii
was u foot ball sport In ancient Rome.
Another theory IS that the game was first in-
tTOduced IN rennoIS, in France, ana took The
name from that district. BE the origin OF tennis
what il may, certain il Is that owing TO The great
difficulty and expense OF Keeping up courts tie
game never was and never could have been very
generally p0pnlar had not lawn tennis. which IS
really merely an adaptation OF the old game for
outdoor use, ben introduced.
No game, however. has ever grown more
quickly in favor, and makers OF tennis supplies
who are probably IN the best position TO judge,
are OF the opinion that IN spite OF the unpre
cedented demand for tennis supplies last season,
there will be great increase this year over
1890. Lighter fackets seem 10 be finding favor,
the old idea that a'heayy racket is needed for
hard stroke having been almost entirely
