Boys Under
Is to Play
For w Title

Tennis players, that is these ten
mis- players under Is years of age,
will gather at the CaleXico tennis
courts Monday morning to vie for
valley championship honors.
All players in the valley are ex-
pected to enter the tournament. No
entrance fee will be charged and
all balls will be furnished by the
CaleXico tennis club.
Each payer will be seeded in a
bracket and will then play eight
games against every player in his
bracket. When the round robin is
completed tie winners in each
bracket will play for the title.
The tournament is staged pri-
marily to create more interest in
sport in the valley and the Calex-
leo club believes that the place to
start is among the youth of the
valley.
Younger payers have been TAX
ing up the game in Calexico for
the past three years and as a re-
suit the Calexico high school
threatens to dominate tennis in
future years unless action is taken
in other cities.
The CaleXico tennis club, inte-
rested in the promotion of tennis in
every valley city as well as in CAL
exico. has started this tournament
with the idea that oIner cities will
follow suit.

begun promptly at II o'clock, Rev.

theme was "The Belief in the Su-

True to its promise the Gospel
Chorus returned for the evening
service which had the largest num-

of recent months. The service was
pleasing and valuable, and at 9 p. m.
the benediction was said and the
congregation on its way home.
It is hoped to make services at
Bethesda more interesting by tax
ing larger advantage of the hours
spent, enabling those attending to
have full service twice a day with
good music, yet keeping to a time
schedule shorter than usual.
