RENO ELECTRIC RAILWAY
DECLARED UNSAFE

An inspection of the street rail-
way system in Reno made by the nre
department and the city electrician
discloses the insufficient bonding oil
the track and therefore makes the
business district dangerous on &C
count OF the Tres hat may be started.
Insurance companies declare thai
unless the track is rebonded the in
surance rates in the city of Reno will
be given a big boost.
Hot water pipes were found IN
the basement of the Washoe grocery
store which was destroyed by fire
two weeks ago, and on the corner of
Second and Center streets the tests
showed that there were sixty
ampere of escaping electricity.
The report of the investigation is
to be made to the city council and an
order to the railroad company to re-
bonds its tracks will undoubtedly
follow.

SPARKS POSTMASTER
BACK ON THE JOB.

John p. Reynolds, who was
removed as postmaster at Sparks,
several months ago, following an in
vestigation of his office by an in
spector, was reinstated by the post
office department. Mr.. Reynolds re-
sumed charge of the Office last week.
At the time of his removal by
the inspector, who insisted that there
was a shortage in his accounts,
REYNOLDS declared he had dis
charged all his liabilities to the gov
eminent and did not 1--WE it a cent.
Later an investigation by the auditor
of the postal department showed
that, while his accounts were con
fused, his remittances to the post
Office department were several hun
bred dollars in excess of what they
should have been and that the de-
partment owed him the excess sum
thus completely generating him
from the charge of misappropriatine
funds.--Reno Gazette.

Tennis GROWING
RAPIDLY in THE
UNITED STATES
(By Latest MALI

NEW YORK-Despite the fact that
there has been a wonderful growth in
the number of contestants and the
quality of their playing during the
past few years, those who are in close
touch with United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association affairs confidently pre-
dict that the next 10 years will see
this sport making even more rapid
gains in this country.
Since it's formation, Some 80 years
ago, there has been a steady growth
in the. number of clubs and players
who have become affiliated with this
organization until it has now devei-
oped into enc of the leading athletic
organizations of the country. Since
last March the increase in club men,
bers has been the most remarkable
since the start and, according to f.
F. Torrey, the secretary, no less than
80 new clubs have enrolled These
new clubs have playing membership
Of about $4,000 persons and they have
over 1000 courts. This is an increase
CT over 80 per cent 1t takes in clubs
situated in all parts CT the country.
come into the National Association is
the Seattle Athletic club of Seattle,
Wash, which has a membership of
about 1900 players and large number
of dirt courts. Another big club to
join is the Country Club of Birming-
ham, Ala. - ..~ H.. F.. ~. !.
With the exception of the East mos,
OF the tennis playing has been done
on dirt courts. Owing to the fact that
the National all corners and Davis cup
international championships have al
ways been played in turf courts, there
has been marked tendency through
cut the West and South to build some
turf courtssfor their own players, One
OF the clubs that has taken up this
work is the Country Club at Birming-
ham, which has recently completed
six Of these surfaces at cost of
about $4,000. =.s..s., ~ ~
Another departure which is expect
ed to improve the standard of play is
the securing of professional coaches
by the various clubs. While there are
only few clubs which now have
such instructors, there is an ever in
creasing demand for them and it is
expected that the professional will
soon playsas important a part in the
tennis clubs affairs as he does now
in golf circles.
