WILL NOT HOLD TENNIS
TOURNAMENT this YEAR
Woman's Civic Club Of Mt. Lake
Park Reaches Decision Due to
Present War Conditions

Decision not to hold the Western
Maryland Championship Tennis tour
nament at Mt. Lake Park this year
was reached by members of the Wom-
ans Civic club of the Park, under
whose auspices the annual event has
been held. For twenty-five years it
has been the leading August feature
of the Mountain Lake Park season.
The action was taken, according to
a resolution, "For the purpose of fully
cooperating with the National De-
tense Program; and further, in view
of the uncertainty Of adequate trans
portation and gas rationing; and also
increased financial demands, by rea-
son of the war, on the Park and Oak
land for charitable and other COM
munity interests"
Those familiar with the handicaps
which the club faces in holding the
tournament under normal conditions,
will heartily approve this decision,
according to one of the members
There is no local group of tennis
players here to rely on, as during the
past five years an average Of three
players from Oakland or the Park
have competed among the IS to 40
who enter competition for the Mems
Challenge cup.
Most of the players come by auto
with last year over half from Balti-
more and Washington, where strict
gas rationing is now in effect.
1t was pointed out that the clubs
action applies only to this year and
will in no way prevent a resumption
of the Western Maryland Champion
ship tournament when the country is
again at peace.
