MAKES PLEA FOR TENNIS.
Myrfck says Clubs Must Keep Alive
snort,

Acting in the interests of the future
welfare OF tennis In this country, Ju
liam S, Myrick. acting president OF the
United Statos National Lawn Tennis
assoc has addressed a letter 10
all the clubs OF the association, urg-
ing upon them the necessity of keep
ing alive and lntensifying the club
spirit. so that the game OF tennis may
be preserved for years to come, The
large property interests. he says, must
be conserved. and the membership kept
up to its usual standard both as to
numbers and personnel.
The letter reads as follows.
"oficers of the members of this as
sociation should realize that obligations
placed upon them by their clubs to
carry on the game of tennis will Se
more important during 1918 than ever
before. Officers OF the national asso-
citation want to cooperate in every way
possible to strengthen tennis for next
year.
ITO this end we want to impress
upon the various clubs that they must
not overlook the fact that In every club
there is a large property interest which
must be conserved and built up. The
FIRST and most important thing for the
ulcers of the clubs TO realize IL that
they must keep their membership up
to the usual standard as 10 numbers
and personnel They should impress
upon the members that to resign from
n club in times like these Is false econ
omy. as Il win take their club many
years to recover from the damage that
will thus be done the property.
"One OF the best ways TO stimulate
interest is to encourage all the boys
and girls In your community to join &C
junior members. and also encourage the
older people to keep up active exercise
Yovr children of today will! be your
men OF tomorrow. and 1t ia quite ap-
parent that by scheme OF this kind
within & few years you will make your
club even more substantial and yigor-
GUS.
II therefore ask the clubs to give
opsu tournaments for all the boys ans
girls In their communities this fall IL
nraeticable. and If not. to make such
