ners, Petworth, Princeton Heights and
Benedicts. which comprised the cir
cult in 1914. have signified their in
tention of remaining in the league the
coming season and it is expected that
several additional clubs will make
applica ton for franchises.
The schedule of last season called
for each team to play two tournaments
of seven matches each, one at home
and one away, with each of the other
clubs in the league. 1t is expected
that the same number of tournaments
will be played this year between each
of the clubs. but a strong demand is
being made to have this league fol-
low the example of the Departmental
and eliminate the singles matches. SO
that the present tournament of three
singles and four doubles will prob
a bly, be changed to seven doubles. the
effect of which will be to permit four
teen men to represent their club in
stead of eight as at present.
Practically all of the clubs have
been strengthened since the close of
last season and have been hard at
work getting in shape for this years
matches, the Benedicts being particu-
larly active. they having had three
courts in shape since February 81.
