Wt.-r

v nich they found In their mail U.ciny:

War Tennis Fan: The Gary Tennis Club was formed ' t?t reason to foster tenn:s in Gary and put us on the map among the trnrv players of the country. You are n- fliuht aware of the interest creati"! t irr-jphout the season by our Per p-tual ChailenK tournament. thr North "West Indiana llkamrionali1!'. rhi Ukt County- pnublrs Tournamen and our inter-rity matches. Whether you are a "hark" or 1-u'o' or find yourself anywhere alor"; tn line between the two, you will wsnt to bo a memher rf the Gary T-nnis Club and not only enjoy th' privileges of the club for yourself hi-.; aJsi boost the club to your friends and get ths mplaytns the game. Ijast vear we charged no momner,h'p fee whatever, giving everyone a rr.ane-s to eet Into the club as a charter member, and we "ranked" the thirty most active players of Gary. This season we are charing the small membership fee of one dollar, and sr'.vinjv out membership cards. AH those In the thirty ranking of i:,ft year will be asked to send in their "dollar to the club secretary on ,.r before April 20th. or be dropped fr,-m their ranking and havo to climb up again from the bottom of the l!it. Anvone not ranked in the hist la.-t ear may take their Initial ranking from the time they par their fee. ".e hops to have at least 100 memiiers by July 1. i will keep the entire member-b-p in a ranking tournament. 1 he rules are simple: Yay your dollar at once, and take your numb.-r. Thn you may challenge any of th" Th-ee players immediately above your rnnklns number, and If you win the mnte'.i, (best two out of three sefal y r j take the loser's number, and so on up to the place you belonjr. Thus .wo: can see that no matter where you start at first, the better player you o--..n;e the higher you will automatically climb and if you are. n-orer p'ayer, will thus "sift down" until pueh time as you improve and p. rt up again. T iu will be surprised to see how ).i;r 'fm will Improve when every n-ntcli is "for blood" you will find y ,:relf a much better player than you thought you were when you were jufr playing "for fun." Al challenges must he played within -.ne week from th8 time of notifot -.n of the challenge or forfeited. A ma'.oh agTeed upon by both parl'5 i imot be sat aside unless by mufu-l srsement, but must be forfeited t'1 the one appearing at the appointed : ine end place. Tou can readi'y e i.4t tn's will eliminate ail semblance "stalling" and if a match must be rfeited for business reasons, th"n ih-' loser only drops a few notches anl within a week he ought to be back :r h;s place. Flayers In any city In Lake county .' invited to Join the Gary Tennis O ,i j. "iV.lhin the first ten, chal'.enges may he ruled once per week. Below the f. -m ten. a player challenging and lns- ' e may not again challenge the same ni-mnor until one or the other of the tvi players has changed position. r.merson and Froebel, as well a Ji'kBon Park courts are available at '! times for challenge matches, en-esr-ting when out of town team matches are arranged, and these will be advertised before hand.
