A GOLF CLUB.
Mr.. Lennon said yesterday that he ex-
poets to give his attention to the organiza-
ton of a golf club at once which will be a
member of the United States Golf Associa-
ton. Indianapolis players who have trav-
eled this summer have found that they
could have enjoyed the courtesies of clubs
of the association all over the country had
they but been members Of a club here
which in turn was a member of the asso-
citation. The United States Golf Associa-
ton is composed of properly constituted
clubs from all over this country. Any
member is eligible to enter the open tourna-
ments wherever he may happen to be and
the courtesies of the different clubs are al
WAYS open to visiting members of the aSso-
citation
Mr.. Lennon says that club membership
encourages and develops better goltng.
This will undoubtedly prove true here, as 1t
will be the medium, so to speak, of an ex-
change between players. 1t will promote
good fellowship and acquaintance which
will result in much rivalry and many
matches. Then, too, team matches will be
arranged with other clubs from over the
State and members will be eligible to enter
in the state championship tournaments.
make a golfer. Considering that this is
only the third season that the Riverside
course has been open and that Ii did not
really become popular until this year,
very good players have developed among
both the men and women. Bogey for the
old nine-hole course is thirty-six and a
number of the men are playing low in the
forties.
The new course will be formally opened
Saturday. Sept. 20, with a handicap tourna-
ment open to all city players.
NEW TENNIS COURTS.
The new tennis courts nave been finished
ard are now ready for play. They are
north and south courts and are located
Immediately east of the locker house.
These are clay courts and are in excellent
condition. with backstops and plenty of
shade. The nets are furnished by the Park
Board and no fee is charged to players.
Tennis has been very quiet for several
years. but has been slowly regaining its old
popularity until this year IL is again the
rage in the East. The coming of the
Dogherty brothers, DR.. PIN and others
from England this year served to awaken
the tagging interest. The Englishmen have
been trying for several years to take home
the American trophy and this year they
nearly succeeded, carrying off the cham
pionship In doubles. but failing In the
singles.
There are many good players In Indian
apolis and Mr.. Lennon says that IL proper
appreciation of the present two double
courts Is shown, more courts will be put in.
