tion of the Harrisburg Tennis Asso-

Officials in charge of this years
matches have been successful in get
ting satisfactory entry, and another
interesting feature is the small fee
charged, which insures medals and
prizes for winners. While the num-
Der of participants is small, competi-
tion is strong. These rules were
adopted:
New Rules Adopted

counted until entrance fee has been
paid to the courtkeeper.
2. Preliminary rounds must be
played off by Thursday night; first
rounds by Saturday night.
8. Contestants must report to court
keeper to be assigned to a court, and
at the conclusion of the match scores

will be rated by the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association. of
which the local organization is a
member, and patriotic certificate
will be awarded. In line with the
Idea prevailing at practically all ten
MS tournaments held under the aus
pices of the U. S. N. L. T. A. this year,
because of the war. no official cham
pionships are being awarded.
