Tennis A real
ATHLETIC GAME
Net Matches Only Sport to
Come Forth Without News
paper Publicity.
MILLION ENTHUSIASTS
Player Must Be Fast and
Brainy-Have Municipal
Courts.

Tennis is the only sport that has come
to the fore without thousands of columns
of newspaper publicity. And in the past
! five years tennis has increased in popu-
larity to such an extent that there are
millions of devotees. where there were
only thousands before.
Other games. like baseball. football, pu-
gilsm. and golf have interested the pub
lie and been taken up by it because
publicity has influenced them. But with
tennis it is different. There isn't a sport
ing page in the country that has aver
aged one-tenth as much tennis news as
it has baseball. pugilism. golf, or foot
ball.
Tennis has won it's several million en-
thusiasts because Of the merits of the
game alone II is not a wracklings game
but a game for red-blooded men and
women-a real game in every sense Of its
athletic usage.
Must Be Fast.
A successful player must be fast Of foot.
and faster of brain. He must have q
steady eye and a steady arm. Tennis
doesn't require brute strength, but 1t
does require we'll balanced muscles,
nerve, GOODNESS, and skill A good ten
mis- player must hit hard and hit softly
as the occasion demands. And there
is not much chance for him to figure out
how he is going to hit. His decision
and the action must follow each other
within a fraction of a second or he loses Z
point in the game.
Many sports have been painted highly
a 8 health builders. but none is better than
tennis. The net game is an ideal one
for those who have grown a bit bulky
and want to lose some of the bulk. II
constant playing CT tennis doesn't send a
portly person back to or near normal
weight, nothing can.
Tennis once was a game for the
wealthy. Now it is everyone's 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 ordi-
nary person to pay. But things are
different now.
Municipal Grounds.
In every big city in the country the
municipal authorities have built ten
mis- courts in the parks And they will
build more this summer and more next
because the army of tennis players 10
increasing amazingly and the city can
not accommodate half OF those who
want to play.
Owners OF vacant lots in the resi-
Dental 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 a costly game. A
racquet costs from 81 to s., and will
last for years. The tennis balls are
very cheap. and a pair of them will
last for many years. The rest of the
equipment includes a pair OF sneaker
shoes and a 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.

Anamoose. N. D., April 13.-Fire
starting this morning destroyed
more than half the business dis
trict of Anamoose with a loss
which will probably total more
than 100000.
An entire block including eight
business places was wiped out by
the flames famed into fury by a

than three hours before dying
down and placed under oontral.
Among the places destroyed were
the general stores of the Arrive

Mercantile Co., a meat market, r.
{, NiN's drugstore, the telephone
company office, the operahouse,
to McHenry County State bank,
and the offices of Or. Erenfeld and
Attorney Funke.
The fire started in the office of
DR.. Erenfeld supposedly from a
lamp believed to have exploded.
A special train carrying fire
fighters from Harvey with ohemi-
calls and several auto loads of
citizens left Drake, N. o. for the
scene.
Anamoose had no telephone
communication with the outside
world to day on account of the
fire.
