Busy Season Is Planned in
Racquet and Court Tennis

Racquet and court tennis players
plan busy season. While there viii
be no international competitions,
there will be plenty of national con-
tests. Last year the sport was made
unusually interesting through the
match for the worlds open court ten
mis- championship between Jay Gould
and George Covey, the invasion OF
England by Joshua Crane, jr., and
the visit TO America of the Hon. Mr..
Lytton, the English amateur court
tennis champion.
The growth of squash tennis during
the last three years has been remark
able, and a number of players who
formerly played court tennis and
racuuets are now devoting their at
tention to the less costly and equally
energetic game of squash tennis. Sew
eraI new courts have been built dur
ing the past year, and others are
planned

Experts and sport authorities have
spent many weary hours since the
battles between the Braves and the
Athletics for the worlds champion
ship trying to explain TO their read
ers just how it was the Braves won
in four straight games. and to date
they have not succeeded in regain
ing their reputation as dopsters.
Many excuses have been advanced
for the failure Of the Athletics to
deliver the punch, but none, not one,
of them has made a hit with the
fans.
