Public Courts Are Aid.
Tennis once was a game only Tor
the wealthy. Now IL is everyone
game. In other years there were no
public tennis courts. Those who liked
the game Of tennis had to belong to
some club that had courts. That meant
a siZeable initiation fee and dues each
month that were too big for the Crdi-
nary person TO pay. But things are diff
fereut now.
In every big city I'm the country the
municipal authorities have built ten
mis- courts in the parks And they viii
build more this summer and more next
because the army Of tennis players Is
increasing amazingly and the courts
cannot accommodate half Of those who
want to play.
Owners OF vacant lots in the residen-
tial sections Of many Of the cities have
shown enterprise by laying courts on
these pieces Of land and charging a
moderate rental for the courts Their
courts are always in demand
Tennis Is not costly game. a
racquet costs from 81 to s. and Will last
for years The tennis balls are very
cheap and pair Of them viii last for
many games. The rest Of the equip
ment includes a pair Of sneaker shoes
and flannel suit. although the suit is
in no way a necessity.
And for this small outlay one gets
many hours OF pleasure and much
health giving exercise No wonder the
popularity Of the game is growing by
leaps and bounds.
