This and That

In the old days in Washington, there
were more tennis courts owned by pri-
vate persons.
Perhaps it was simply because there
were more vacant lots.
One of the sights of Washington, in
the old days, when we were all children
together. was called the elephant court.
It was on 10th street, somewhere be-
tween S and T streets, as We recall.
The elephant court" was its usual
name, not because there were any ami
mails connected with it, elephantine or
otherwise, but simply on account OF
the posts used.
They were telephone poles, cut off to
about ten feet in the air.
An official of the company lived in
the block, and he was an ardent tennis
player, consequently when the boys of
the neighborhood wanted court, he
was instrumental in getting the poles.
At first. none had any idea of using
such posts.
The enthusiasts looked around for
something to hold up the wire backstops.
and could think of nothing feasible.
Feasible, of course, meant inexpensive.
