Summer Game Will Soon Be in Vogue

Fairbanks tennis players are now preparing to start their fayOrite game, or such is the announcement hypothetically made by the fact that the tennis court opposite the Shaw House is now being cleaned of the mass of snow which has covered it during the past winter.
 No announcement has been made as to when the games are to start, but it is expected that the first will be played on the courts as soon as they are dry enough. It is expect ed that the work of cleaning off the snow will be completed today or tomorrow.
 The court is held under lease by the Fairbanks tennis club, which had membership of over 50 last year. One prominent member of the club is authority for the statement that only three have dropped out of the membership roles. and it is therefore probable that the club will be as large as ever this season.
