TENNIS RANKS NEXT
OGOLF IN DISTRICT
Popularity of Sport Shown
by Great Increase in
Number of Players.

Tennis ranks right next to golf in
popularity among the outdoor
sports followers in the District of
Columbia.
This is shown by the figures kept
in the Office of public buildings and
grounds, which has supervision of all
the sports and outdoor activities In
the public parks in this city, and
which will be included in the an
nual report to be made public soon,
showing in detail just how the parks
were patronized during the past
year.
Naturally enough, the long period
of rain and cold weather during the
earlier part of this summer played
havoc with the tennis attendance,
and as result there was a tremen-
dous decrease in the number of par
tlclpantS in this sport, compared with
the year ending June 80, 1928.
According to the figures to go in
the annual report, 95,1oS persons
played tennis on the ~ tennis courts
under the supervision of the Office of
public buildings and grounds during
the fiscal year ended June 80, last.
During the preceding twelve months,
IGo''oS payers participated In this
game. During the year ended June
80. 1922, when there were only 80
courts, there were 10000 players.
Blame Weather Conditions.
1t is explained by those who are
familiar with the patronage of the
various sports grounds in the parks,
that despite the figures for the year
just ended, tennis is on the boom
here. and that the total of attend
ance would have indicated this
had the sport not been interfered
with by adverse weather conditions
during April, May and June
Numerically speaking, 1t is thought
by those in position to estimate that
there are more individual tennis
players than there are golf players,
although the records show that near
ly 100000 persons played golf on the
several golf links in the parks. 1t is
explained that a greater number of
players can participate in golf at the
same time than can be done REGARDING
tennis. and besides, golf can be play-
ed throughout the winter, whereas
tennis takes a back seat during the
winter months. Therefore it is claim
ed that the comparative figures would
indicate that despite the fact that
there were more games of golf pIay-
ed during the year, there are in reali-
ty more individual tennis players.
