POSTS ARRANGED FOR COURT

Desirable to Have Them Removed When Lawn Is Being Cut or in Winter—Good Plan Shown. It is sometimes desirable to have tennis-court posts arranged to be easily removed from the lawn or the court when-the grass is being mowed, or during the winter. The method of fixing the posts in the ground, as shown in the sketch, makes it convenient to remove the pdsts and still gives the necessary stability, writes Edward R. Smith of Walla Walla, Wash,, 4n Popular Mechanics Magazine. A square wooden box, tarred to resist moisture, is placed in the ground, and the post is fitted into It. The upper end of the

box Is level with the surface, and when the post Is removed a wooden block is fitted Into the opening. Removal of the posts permits the mowing of the grass close to them and leaves the place free from obstructions when the court is not in use.
