INTEREST IN
LAWN TENNIS
ON INCREASE
The tennis schedule for 1919 shows
150 tournaments sanctioned by the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, exclusive of the junior,
boys’ and girls’ events which are
listed separately.- This number will
be increased when some uncertain
dates are fixed. Although there are
fewer tournaments than in 1917, when
the highwater mark was reached, the
association’s officials are gratified to
see that the war’s effect on tourna
ment play was temporary, and that
competition will be conducted on a
broad scale.
I Practically all the state champion
ships that have been listed in former
years appear; certain events have
not been scheduled as the dates are
still under discussion. All the sec
tional doubles championships will be
held, except the Pacific Northwest,
whose officers plan to devote most at
tention to the junior and international
matches this season, and the Inter
Mountain. It is expected also that a
number of tournaments held pre
viously by clubs which were hard hit
by the war, being dependent upon a
"summer population,” wilj be added
as soon as these clubs have a chance
to perfect their organization and re
sume activities.
The first national championship
will be played at the Philadelphia
Cricket Club on June 16* this being
the women's and girls’ event. The
Clay Court Championship comes next,
on July 14 at the South Sifle Club in
Chicago. On August 12 the national
doubles championship will begin at
the Longwood Cricket Club in Bos
ton. The singles championship, to
gether with the finals in the junior
and boys’, the veterans’ and the
father-and-son championships, will be
played at the West Side Tennis Club,
Forest Hills, L. I., commencing Aug
ust 25. Other important events are
' the East vs. West team match at Cin
cinnati July 10, and the Intercolleg
iate championship at the Merion
Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Septem
ber 8. '
Resumption of general play by the
colleges and the addition of a number
of interscholastic tournaments as part
of the junior schedule indicate the in
creasing interest among the young
players. The fact that there will be a
junior ranking this year will also
have a marked influence on this
branch of the game.

WHIPPETTANKS
ACCOMPLISHING
GOODSERVICE
The two whippet tanks which the
government has assigned to Northern
California for the Victory Liberty
Loan campaign, have been especially
“dolled up” for the occasion, and are
doing effective work.
Along with ten others which are to
serve in the west, these tanks have
been camouflaged according to lines
provided by the government. Pour
distinct designs have been used.
The tanks look very much alike on
first inspection, but careful scrutiny
shown a difference in pattern and
that what appears like a careless use
of colors is in reality a scientific
placement of the four dull hues which
aid in making the tanks incon
spicuous.
The Victory Liberty loan tanks are
not toys. Though small, compared
with such giants as the famous ‘Brit
tania,” they are none the less real and
are capable of giving a full account
of themselves in combat. It was with
tanks like these, that the government
expected to break the German de
fense. Post-war statements show that
had the war continued many months
longer there would have been a whip
pet ready for every 70 feet of the
western front.
Each whippet Is manned by two
experts. Both driver and machine gun
man are experienced in both branches
of the tank service, in order that in
case of accident the gunner may drive
or the driver man the gun. The gun
on these particular tanks are the
famous Browning rapid fire rifle.
The interior of the tanks is small.
The driver sits in th^ extreme front
with an elevation off the floor of but
a few inches and the gunnec stands
immediately back of him surrounded
by his reels of cartridges. The engine
is in a separte compartment in the
rear. It can be cracked from the in
side but in case of serious trouble can
only be reached through trap doors in
the roof.
The schedules on which these tanks
will tour the west, are practically
complete. Two will be aboard special
trains, one running in the southwest
and one in the northwest. One on its
way to Honolulu. Los Angeles and
San Francisco have one each and Ore
gon and Washington each have one.
Northern California, exclusive of San
Franciso has one tank.
The people of that state will have
an opportunity to see one of these
tanks in action when their city is
visited by a trophy train. A number
of the larger cities will have a more
extended demonstration when the
specially assigned Northern California
tank visits their city.
