This afternoon Gary and Hammond
teams will clash on the tennis courts
in the first inter-city tournament ever

great interest In the game and it is
expected that the matches this after

ever held before in the Steel CITY.
The teams which viii play today are
thought to be quite evenly matched.

hands at the game and have been play
ing for a number of years Walter
Sohl is said to be one of the crack
players of the state and a great deal
Of trouble is expected in disposing Of

ernoon. If the Gary men are success
full they will look about the country
