TENNIS LEAGUE
IS TALKED Of
Five Industrial Plants and
Two Outside Teams Favor
Local League

A move is under way at the
present time for the organization of
a tennis league in this city. If the
necessary industrial teams a be
obtained the circuit will be known
as an industrial league. Otherwise
several outfits other than industrial
teams will be taken in and the
league will be known as a city Or
g%anization.
The United Cartridge, United
Lead, Atlantic Terra Gotta, Roessler
g. Hasslacher and Standard Under
aground Cable plants are said to be
interested in a tennis league and two
outside teams are also interested in
a league. Organization OF the cir
cult may be announced before the
end of the week.
This is the first move as far as is
known to organize a tennis league
in this city and If the circuit is or
ganized the going should be even
more interesting than in the present
industrial baseball league. Games
will be played in the twilight if the
league organization plans are carried
out.
In the various plants there is a
great deal of interest in tennis at
the present time and it would be
possible to organize strong combina-
tions in about a half dozen factories.
There are four teams in the present
Industrial baseball league. the At
lantic and New Jersey Terra Gotta
mines, and the Raritan Copper and
American Smelling e. Refining
teams.

Sickness and Death usually divide
the pot. Sometimes l. think, Sgd,
that in nothing that amy mortal does
is the element Of chance lacking.
And sometimes think, my friend,
that it is just this chance that makes
life worth living although just at
present | sincerely wish l had not
taken it.
But if you and / could tell just
what the outcome of the game we
are playing each day would be, we
would find life very stale and un-
profitable, for we would indeed be
brothers of the OK. There would be
20 flip, M thrill in existence at all.
ltiis this constant hope that the
next turn of. the cards will deal us
Il good hand that keeps us interested
in the game and when this eager
interest in the turn of Life's cards
dies, I'm sure We are dead though
we may think that we live.
Don't think Pm writing you all
this sgd, in any way to mitigate the
bswling out which know you are
going to give me. Pm sorry, sorry,
