town Cricket Club tomorrow at 1C
\. NJ.
Philadelphia is host to the greatest
collection Of tennis stars ever clus-
tered in one Tournament, and the fans
have been asked to play fair to every
one of the 1913 competitors.
Three requests have been made by the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
committee managing the tournament and
by the Germantown Cricket Club. They
are:
First. Please do not smoke. 1t is
against the law, because the wooden
stands constitute fire hazard. and
smoking is unpleasant for many of the
spectators.
Second. Please do not applaud
until after a point has been finished,
and do not applaud errors. Observ-
ancc of this request will insure fair
conditions for ali the players and
will add to the general enjoyment of
the matches.
Third. Please do not throw cush-
ions after the matches are finished.
Several persons have been injured by
these in recent years, for when thrown
from the height of the stands they
arc dangerous missiles.
Issue Statement
The joint statement adds:
"If the spectators will 90 operate
with the management on these three
points, IT will add to the enjoyment OF
the matches by all concerned
Players from all parts of the United
States and three foreign countries Will
be in this city tonight.
