FUTURE OF LAWN TENNIS PAINTED IN ROSY HUES

The future of lawn tennis in America was' painted in rosy hues at the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis association A New York city. There werb many predictions that the coming season would be the greatest in the history of American lawn tennis,, partly because of the steadily increasing popularity in the game and partly because the war department has approved tennis as an ideal game for training purposes, and has created 100 courts at army training camps. The annual meeting, held, Friday, was unusual in that no ranking of players for 1917 was announced, a result of the war. Exhibition games during 1918 for war funds were discussed and approved at the annual meeting.
