WOMEN TIRE Of
SECOND.FIDDLE
IN LAWN TENNIS
Active Movement of Promi-
nent Women in Game to
Force Recognition.
GIRLS ASK SAME
RIGHTS AS BOYS

TNLESS the signs are vastly mis-
understood. there is an active
- women's movement campaign
already under way In lawn tennis
circles. As far as one may Judge
from the arguments which the women
advance, there are sound and valid
reasons for their being admitted to
greater participation IN the direction
and councils Of the game. Among
some Of the leaders who have upheld
the prestige OF the court throughout
the diScouraging period Of last sea
son the impression prevails that the
women players OF this country have
for much too long a period played
second fiddle"
They cal attention to the fact that
the best that the women have ever
received in the way Of recognition
has been the appointment OF a trio to
act as the ranking committee OF their
sex. The committee appointed last
year. and which had nothing to do,
Edith 3. Handy and Mrs. BENJAMIN
e. Cole. OF course from time to
time there has been a halfway rec
ognitiOn of the services that the
women have rendered the game by
the National association. although no
