FRISCO PLANS
FINE STADIUM
FOR TENNIS
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 30
Tennis, as a popular sport, is taking
California virtually by storm.
San Francisco, especially, seems re
cently to have been paying more than
the usual California homeage to the
queen of sports. .
In response to popular demand for
adequate public tennis grounds, a
huge municipal exhibition and tourna
ment stadium was completed a few
weeks ago in Golden Gate Park here
in addition to the tennis facilities al
ready in the park.
And now comes a few gentle hints
from Dr. Sumner Hardy, president of
1 the California Lawn Tennis Club that
his club plans the construction in San
Francisco of a tennis! plant which will
be second to none on the Pacific coast
or in the United States for that mat
ter.
Already Dr. Hardy’s organization
has purchased an entire city block in
this city and it is understood that
the projected tennis plant will be
built on that site. The block is
bounded by Scott, Pierce, Bush and
Sutter streets. It is about ten or fif
tene minutes ride by street car from
the world-famous Ferry Building.
Total cost of the project will proba
bly approximate $250,000, it was
learned today.
The California club is at present
located on the northwest corner of
the block it has purchased. To cov
er the purchase price of the block it
is understood that the majority of
the funds now in the clubs treasury
will be used and 5 per cent bonds will
be issued for the remainder. Mem
bers of the club are expected to sub
scribe to these bonds.
At present the California Club has
a membership of about 200 men and
women. This membership, however,
is expected to be greatly increased
with the completion of the new club
house and the additional courts.
The five tennis courts which now
occupy part of the newly acquired
block will be increased by five more, j
Dr. Hardy said, and the old club
house will be replaced by a new two
story structure, modern in every de
tail. In addition n grandstand having
a seating capacity of 2,500 will be
built.
Construction will start next spring,
according to Dr. Hardy.

HELD CAPTIVES IN
BUDDHIST TEMPLE
SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 30—The
chance arrest of a small bandit gang
near Fuchow, in Honan province, has
just been revealed that the bandits
were using a famed old Buddhist
temple, on the road between Fuchow
and Yenling to hold captives prison
er while negotiating with their fami
lies for ransom.
Police raided the temple immedi
ately after the arrests and took a
number of other members of the
gang, including the chieftain, a weal
thy citizen of Yenling injo custody
and released a score of prisoners at
the same time. *
The wealthy Yenling Chinese had
been contributing money for the re
pair of the temple during the last
year and had his own workmen on
the job, so that nothing unusual was
suspected. While making slow pro
gress in the repairing, the kidnap
pers also constructed cellars, where
they held their prisoners until the
required ransom was paid.
AFRAID OF MICE?
WOMEN FONDLE
THEM AS PETS
LONDON, Dec. 30—The age-old il
lusion that women hate and are afraid
of mice was dispelled at the recent
Crystal Palace Animal Show.
Three hundred and fifty women
entered pedigree mice for the show,
and it was a common sight during
the course of the show to see the
mice’s proud owners fondling them
in their hands and allowing them to
run up their arms.
According to the catalogue, one
mouse shown, only eight weeks old,
was priced at $500, but it was ex
plained that this substantial figure
was only put on because the woman
owner would not part with her pet
for any price.
