Yet this is a matter of every...
...there are enough courts at present on the West End of Jarvis Field for a college tournament. On these courts the play might have been held and some interest would probably have been shown if it had been known that the tournament was to have been played there at certain hours of the day. However it is too late to do anything more as the tournament for singles has been finished. We only wish to call the attention of the tennis association in the hopes that better arrangements will be made for the spring tournament. In the mean time...
