AIDS TENNIS LEAGUE
Use of Shower Baths Offered
Departmental Players.
LOCKERS ALSO PROVIDED
Supt. Hudson Of Bathing Beach to
Help Clerks-Final Preliminary
Meeting Tomorrow.

About the biggest boon that has
come to the Departmental Tennis
League since its organization has been
furnished by DR.. William B. Hudson,
who has charge of the public baths.
He has notified the league officials
that he would take care of all the
racqueters who wished locker and
shower facilities. 1t was thought the
municipal courts would handicap the
league on account of there being no
facilities for showers after matches,
but DR.. Hudson has made everything
lovely with his offer of the lockers
and baths. To walk any distance
after matches is almost out of the
question, and the fact that the public
showers are as near the municipal
courts as the courts at any country
club demonstrates the value of the
offer
Col. W. ". Harris, superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds. in charge
Of the municipal courts, and DIR. Hud-
son have gained the gratitude of the
officials and players of the league, and
their cooperation has practically as
sured it's success.
Distribute Supplies Tomorrow.
The final meeting of the league will
be held tomorrow afternoon in the
interstate commerce building immedi-
ately after working hours. The meet
ing has been called by President Sis
Ter and will be a sort of cleanup
gathering. Equipment and supplies
for the tournaments will be distributed
and the municipal courts will be as
signed for the month of April.
Supt. Harris will allow the members
Of the league a liberal number Of
courts for practice, permits to this
effect having been issued during the
past week to those departments not
having courts Of their own. These
courts also will be used for try-outs
to determine regular members of the
teams More than 800 players will par
ticipate in the qualifying process. and
il goes without saying that the
municipal courts will be the center of
attraction just as soon as the weather
permits play.
Several of the courts We're played
on last week, the snowstorm of yes
terday placing them in almost perfect
condition, being better than rain, as
the moisture sinks in gradually instead
of possibly washing.

BENCH BOSSES WIN HONORS

Hughey Jennings, who inspire their

tack by their spirited coaching.
! The dangers of trying to combine
| managership with active playing are

Doom and Joe Tinker. Doom. when

Joe Tinker, several years ago, was
rated as one of the best aII-round
shortstops the game had known. But
he went to Cincinnati to boss the Reds
and lost his cunning. Last season.
as manager of the Chicago Feds, he
| took frequent vacations from his in

end of the procession by the experts
In fact. Cincinnati. with Shortstop
Charley Herzog in charge, is expected
to raise some fuss.
But the fac; still remains that in
