Tennis Season Inaugurated By “Rowles Tennis Club.”

The tennis season was inaugurated some ten days ago by the organization of the “Rowles Tenni§ Club,” composed of certain professional men and Students who have been invited by Mr. W. O. Rowles to play on his private court. The organization was effected and limited to a small number, the better to carry out certain regulations which the owner of the court has seen fit to-make with reference to players, time, conduct and care of the property. The club is under the control of three directors and the number of active members is limited to eight. In addition to these the directors select a list of alternates,, any one of whom has the privilege of playl irig when less than four active members are on the court. Invi|pd guests are subject to the approval of the board of directors. Only male players are permitted unless at the invitation of Mrs. Rawles. The object in organizing is not primarily that of competition with other clubs but rather to provide recreation for the members. The active members are: Edson Murray, Elvyn Allman, James Warner, C. R. Dean, Dwight Curnick, >J. Ira Coe, M. D. Gwin and C. M. Sharp.
