PUBLIC TENNIS
PLAYERS To
ORGANIZE
By LEONARD w. COLLINS

Municipal tennis players Of the
District are going to follow in the
footsteps of the public link golfers.
They are planning to perfect a per-
manent organization and conduct
their own annual championship
tournaments.
A meeting will be called within
the next week or so at which time
officers wifi be elected and repre-
sentatives appointed from each of
the several public courts in and
about Washington.
One Of the plans of those in back
of the proposed organization is to
hold a tournament of singles and
doubles, the teams to represent the
Monument, Potomac Park, Henry
Park, Anacostia, Rock Creep Park,
Lincoln Memorial and Reservoir
courts.
The tourney will be of a home
and.home series, each team playing
the others once upon their own
courts and then in turn playing a
return match upon the courts of
those others constituting the league
Immediately after the conclusion
OF the court series it is planned to
hold the second annual municipal
championships in both singles and
doubles, the latter event to get
under way not later than the middle
of June.
Those who are sponsoring the
organization would have the femi-
nine players of the District affiliated
with the organization, although it
is not the intent that the associa.
ton shall in any way or manner
interfere with any girls organize.
ton of public park players, which
may have been formed or may be

issue notices within the next day or
two for q meeting of representa-
tives from the various courts for

he wants to drop from 1870 pounds
to 1875 and, put his featherweight
up for another big shot. After
that he will pursue Benny Leonard.
''It is, my ambition to own three
titles at once" declares Johnny.
That sounds like an impossibility
but the weight range is only nine
pounds and all the limits are right
in my groove.
