The Caulk Club tennis courts are
for the use of the members of the
Caulk Club. This does not mean,
however. that a member cannot in
vite an outsider to play, or that per-
mission may not be given to out
siders to use the courts. 1t does
mean however, that the members have
the highest rights to the use OF the
courts and should use those rights.
This game involves considerable ex-
pense in lost balls, broken racquets,
and maintenance of the courts. There
fore. all those outside of the club
who play should appreciate the court
esy shown them; lend a hand in re-
turning the nets, balls and. racquets
to their home; keep off the courts
with leather soled shoes; do not walk
across a court where others are play
ing. unless it is impossible to walk
around; keep an eye on the balls that
wander beyond bounds and go after
them; don't use the racquets for any
thing but playing tennis. These are
but a few of the dos" and ''don'ts'
that might be well needed by mem
bers.
The first of the big series of tennis
matches between the High School ana
Caulk Club teams was played on Sat
urday afternoon last. The contest
ants to singles were Robert Foulk
and Postles Hammond, resulting ~,
in Foulk's favor. The games were
void Of any brilliant features or clev-
er playing. Both contestants played
cautiously, neither attempting to gain
net position. Foulk gauged the net
line almost perfectly, but was little
weak on placement. In many lnstan-
ces Hammond appeared to be the
favored one, but FOulk always man
aged to roll up his score. Hammond
played a fairly good game, putting
many across the net that were hard
to CATCH but too great confidence
ruined his chances in the second set.
In the mixed doubles the beginning
contestants were Viereck and Ham
mond and FOulk and Pratt. Ham
mOnd was visibly tired but stuck out
the first set, which was a one-sided
affair for the High School. In the
next set Vaules Grier replaced Ham
mond and Cecil SalmOns replaced |
Foulk and this set was really the on
ly one of the afternoon. The score |
Of games was So in favor of the High |
school when it was suggested that the |
Caulk Club players take off their hats
This was done and the score was eV-
tened up. This suggestion might have
been better had it been made sooner.
When the games stood ga in the High
schools favor, Foulk replaced Sal
mons, and the final score was S-6 for
tne High School. Grier's serving was
a real feature of the game, not men
tloning his clever backing up at the
Dase line. From point of playing this
set should easily have gone Caulk but
luck did not decree thusly. The sec
Ond Of the series will be played next
saturday afternoon, when the Club
Will present their stellar player, Hols-
SION for the consideration of the
highs. Grier and Viereck will again
play the doubles.
