INTERBUREAU Tennis
League IS ORGANIZED
Home Club Racqueters Announce
Schedule for August and
September Matches.

No surer indication of the increas-
ing popularity of tennis can be point
ed out than the interest being taken
in the game by the members Of the
Home Club of the Interior Depart
ment.
With the wind-up of the tournament
which has been in progress at the
club for the past month in sight
members of this organization have al
ready laid plans for another tourney,
an inter-bureau series, with teams
from the various offices competing for
handsome trophy.
At a meeting of the tennis commit
tee of the club last Thursday evening
league was organized with seven
clubs and a schedule was arranged
for weekly contests from August 16
to September 81.
Owing to the fact that the club can
at present boast of but one court OF
its own. but three series can be played
week, each series to consist OF
three doubles and three singles be-
tween the competing teams.
The Interior Department. boasts many
prominent tennis players. most OF whom
have been participating in the present
tournament. Chief among those whose
work in the tourney has attracted atten-
ton are John b. Beadle. d. NJ. Greene,
H. o. Clayton. DR.. Hugh A. Brown ana
Dr. and Mrs. E. ]. Kempf.
Beadle captured the final round OF the
singles from Clayton in a hard-fought
match on Friday and has also been with
the topnotchers in the doubles With
DR.. Brown he fought his way down to
the finals Of the mems doubles. and with
Mrs. E. w. Ballard has a good chance
Of winning the mixed doubles.
D. NJ Greene is chairman of the tennis
committee of the club. and 1t has been
largely due to his enthusiasm and love
of the game, combined with his almost
inexhaustible energy, that the present
tournament has been such a success and
that the club has launched upon such an
ambitious campaign for the balance OF
the summer. Greene fought his way
down through the large entry list In the
mems singles only to be eliminated by
napp in the semi-fnals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kempf are both players
of more than usual skill and ability. Mrs.
Kempf easily ranking first among the
women players in the tournament and De
ing winner of the ladies' singles, whicn
were recently concluded.
