Indoor Tennis
Pavilion Plan
Again Revived
Inadequate Facilities Here
Driving Big Meets to 9th
Cities; Cost $l,25O,OOO
By Fred Hawthorne

This morning am going to print
letter that I believe will hold unusu.
interest for many of the readers O
this column, and it may lead to tn
nlilng OF long and acutely felt wan
IN this city: The letter follows:
Mr.. Fred Hawthorne, Tennis Editor.
New York Tribune.
Dear Mr.. Hawthorne: The writer
was very much interested in the
plan. outlined by you last spring for
an indoor tennis pavilion, and is
very sorry indeed to learn, from a
recent, reference in The Tribune,
tnat the project has fallen through.
IN view OF the tremendously increas-
ing popularity of the game in the
metropolitan district. the long win
ter season here and the very meager
facilities for indoor tennis now ex-
istant in this city, there is a verv
real need for such a building.
Il do not recollect whether the
cost of the proposed building was
mentioned by you last spring. but T
am confident that any sum necessary
could readily be raised through
stock subscription by tennis devotees $
of this section. Out in Flatbush we
have at least twenty tennis clubs,
with an average membership of
twenty-five. Within committing dis
tance of the city there are doubt
less five hundred such clubs, repre-
senting an aggregate membership of
at least 12,500 active players.
"1f each member should subscribe
to one share of stock (S1O0), the
sum available would be S1,25O,OOO.
or course, it is not likely that every
individual member would. actually
subscribe, but, on the other hand, a
great many enthusiasts would be
able and willing to take several
shares. With an assured patronage
and virtually no competition, if op-
Grated under conservative manage
ment the enterprise should earn a
very fair return on the money in-
vested
II would suggest that prclimi
nary conference Of those interested
in indoor tennis be called to meet
at one of the clubs or hotels within
the next month. At this meeting the
subject could be discussed in detail
and plan of campaign worked out.
Later. as a means of arousing gem
eral interest, the individual clubs
might hold get-together dinners, at
which the project would be placed
before the members in definite form
and subscriptions solicited The
sporting goods houses and tennis ed
itors probably could be counted on
to cooperate actively.
What do you think? Cordially,
"EDWARD L. PIERCE"
Captain, Maple Court Team, Flat
bush Tennis League"
Mr.. Pierce evidently refers to the
article printed in The Tribune last
spring, in which / discussed the tenta-
i've plans for tennis building then
being considered by Mrs. Barger- Wal
ach, of this city and Newport.
That these plans have apparently fal-
en- through is a matter of regret to
Ill those who have the interests of ten
,is at heart. The 7th Regiment Armory,
where the mems and women's annual
rational indoor championship tourna-
nents have always been held, is not a
suitable building for the purpose, tn

Brooklyn and New York
Schools Win Final Meets
of the Title Tournament

The annual P. S. A. L. swimming
tournament came to close last night
IN the New York A. C. pool, with Eras-
mus Hall of Brooklyn and Townsend
Harris Hall of Manhattan, deadlocked
with eight victories and one defeat
each, for totals Of 16 points. BY rea-
son Of its victory over the High School
OF Commerce, Stuyvesand took third
honors from De Witt Clinton, which
lost to Townsend.
Both of the leaders won their meets
easily, and the issue was decided even
before the relay was contested Eras-
mus swamped Evander Childs by q
score of 40 to 13, while Townsend was
q little harder pressed by De Witt
Clinton, but finally won out. 81 to %.
Richmond Hill completed it's series of
meets without scoring victory when
it lost to Manual Training, last years
undefeated champions.
Young. of Flushing, and Perrv. of
Stuyvesant, were the only double win
ners of the evening, each scoring a
victory in the 22O-yard and fancy diving
contests.
Last nights scores:

ton, %. Sd

Lighting facilities being very poor. Con-
dltlons in the armory are so unsuitable
that the women's tournament this wear
will be transferred to the courts of the
Longwood Covered Courts Club. in Bos-
ton.
The Heights Casino, "a Montague
Street, Brooklyn, has two excellent
courts, with unusually fine light condi-
tlons, but two courts are not enough
upon which to hold a large national
tournament, and so, perforce, the move
to Boston
While not the possessor of mind
attuned to financial affairs, it strikes
me that there is the germ of very
sound idea in Mr.. Pierce's proposal.
Certainly, l can vouch for the patron
age that would be accorded such a.
building.
Clubs or individuals desiring to get
into communication with Mr.. Pierce
may reach him by writing to 35 East
Seventeenth Street, Brooklyn. 1 hope
there will be many subscribers, that the
building will be erected soon, and that
am invited to lay the cornerstone or
the vrst brick, or whatever is laid<in
such cases
