II there is one place on earth whore
tennis Ia the all-absorbing game it is
Newport, just south of Wilmington Oh
the p, W. & B Railroad. Opposite the
station are well-kept grounds containing
I've or six courts fully equipped for play.
Every afternoon and evening when the
weather Is pleasant pretty young girls
and gallant young men may be seen there
with racquets In hand driving the ball
from one end of the coarts to the other
and seemingly finding no end Of enjoy
ment 10 this game which has 80 little
charm for the average lover Of outdoor
sports.
Judged by the almost incessant play
and the new faces seen on the courts
from day to day the club at Newport
must have quite large membership for
such q small place.
The newest enterprise of the organiza
tlon is the erection of large fag pole.
It is already on the grounds and painted
white and blue. To-day or tomorrow II
will be placed in the ground, aud on the
