oftall ofthe tennis events in West
Virginia the eleventh annual meet
ing at the Fairmont Country Club
beginning August 81 will be the
greatest. The tournament is open to
all Of the world and this brings crack
wielders Of the racquet. There has
been some change in the modus opc-
randi from former meetings. There
will be no challenge match for pos
session Of the New Tiffany Challenge
Cup. The winner of the tournament
this season will be the possessor OF
this cup for a year. He will also be
awarded a cup for winning the tour
nament. This makes the incentive
stronger for the players to go their
limit.

years ago and who has a leg on the
challenge cup will play through the

each other on either side Of the nets.
