Down in the vicinity of Lakewood, N. J., at present, a tennis tournament is going on, the interest which is be- ing manifested in the playing is show- ing itself throughout the country. But the said tournament seems to be de: tined to a slump in this section if the plans of a quartet of local young men materialize. For several months con- siderable discussion as the respective ability of the above four young men has been heard in “Pat’ McEnroe's barbershop on Main street. While play- ers all avow that most tennis play- ers have it on them, they are satisfied that their ability is superior to one | ana another. So, to decide this a tournament will start next Monday afternoon at St. Mary’'s playgrounds with the follow- ing players competing: Rufus Keegan, Pat McEnroe, John B. Smith and “Doc” Hyde, the genial manager of the Mohican Market company. It was with considerable stress that Mr. Hyde was induced to become a tennis play- er, but after hearing that part of the outfit consisted of a racquet (racket), | he decided that he would try his hbnd. he decldec 8 SMOKE OXMOOR Batteries and.
