OPEN MEETS FOR TENNIS
 PLAYERS NOW IN PLANS
Pyle Hopes to Be Able to Get Rule Passed Similar to That
 in Golf

Paris, Aug. 3 Pl-The sporting newspaper L'Auto has pressed Charles Pyle, the American sports promoter who has contracted with Suzanne Lenglen for series of pro- fessional tennis matches in America, to learn whom the French girl will play. It says, however, that it has obtained from MT. Pyle nothing more definite than an assurance that her opponents will be renowned players, performers worthy of her racquet. L'Auto says that MT. Pyle declined to give names, but said they were not European players.
 According to the L'Auto MT. Pyle took the opportunity to announce that before a month has elapsed a plan would be worked out for a Professional Tennis association and said that before a year elapsed he hoped to overcome the prejudices of lawn tennis associations and be able to hold open meets, as in golf, with both amateurs and professionals playing.

AFTER MIDNIGHT
MAIL BOX NOW
AT POSTOFFICE

The postoffice officials here have
recently placed mail box in front
of the federal building, just to the
right of the main entrance. This
box, which will accommodate small
packages, papers, and first class
mail is placed there for the con-
venience of patrons who desire to
mail letters, papers or other articles,
TO go out on the early morning trains.
The box is only to be used by patrons
who desire to mail such matter after
midnight
The local postoffice closes at mid
night, and after that time, outgoing
mail can be placed in the new box,
and it will be handled in time for
the morning trains. The officials
desire that only mail taken to the
office after midnight be placed in
the box, as before that time, it can
be mailed inside the office. The
new box is quite a convenience for
patrons, as mail put in that box
after midnight goes out on the morn
ing trains, some Of which handle only
sealed pouches this meaning that
mail put in the box at the depot is
not picked up by some trains. Spe-
cial delivery mail can also be mailed
in the box after midnight.
