ing by father with advanced ideas
began when they were SO small that
their hands could scarcely grasp tne
racauets, and their style of play was
formed in great degree by the rough
courts on which they learned. the
bound of the ball was cratic. and the
utmost agility was necessary TO ons se

tended to make them neglect the Law,

summer-he would say, he took his vaca-

of the vintage of IS, that the boys and
girls are the coming players. and that
something should be done to educate them
for their own sakes and for the discovery
of good tennis material.
So he established a Junior League, and
invited all lads who wanted to come in
to join. The Dumbarton Club cheerfully
gave the use of it's grounds, its lock-

went in. although only fifty-three were
able to become entrants, because the
games had to be run off in the morning.
They played singles and doubles, too, al
though some of the partners had never
met before. In the next few years some
of these young men will be leaders of
the game in Washington.
