TENNIS WILL GET
MORE attention
IN 1920 SEASON
So Says Guy F. Williams,
Omaha Net Star; City
May Place Six
More Courts.

Tennis is to receive more atten-
ton this season, if the plans and
opinions OF Guy F. Williams, Omaha
net star, do not go awry.
Williams, with the help of dozen
other tennis enthusiasts, is planning
grand revival of the game here
this summer.
His plans received a material
boost yesterday when Park Com
missioner Falconer announced that
three new tennis courts would prob
ably be installed in Fontenelle park
this summer, two in Elmwood park
and one additional in Miller park.
At present there are three in Miller.
two in Riverview, two in kountze,
two in Bemis, two in Clifford and
one in Spring Lake park. All these
will be improved and made to rank
among the best in the city.
Tennis is played by young men
for the most part" said Williams
yesterday, "and the average Omaha
tennis player is unable to buy a
membership in any of the clubs.
This condition makes municipal
courts a necessity"
Several attempts have been made
to get the Omaha golf clubs to issue
tennis membership at cheap
figure to boys and young men who
cannot afford a whole membership
but they have been unsuccessful.
Even with the addition of several
municipal courts Omaha soon will
face once more the problem of not
having enough courts. Not until
Omaha forms a tennis club will the
net game receive proper attention
here.
"On the whole" said Williams,
present indications are that tennis
is gradually gaining more prom-
nence year after year in middle
western sport. Last year Omaha
saw the largest city tournament that
has ever been held here and pros
poets are that the 1920 meet will
