The warm, pleasant days of the last two weeks have been the harbingers of an active revival in tennis. A number of courts have already been marked out, and the devotees of this popular game are eager to embrace every possible chance to play. The fact of this renewed interest again calls attention to the Tennis Club and the disputes of last fall. Not only are the policy and rules of the association matters for immediate action, but another question presents itself for serious consideration-that of the conflicting claims of the club and the men who play tennis but have not joined the association. An effort was made last fall to induce all players to join the association, and thus to consolidate the privileges possessed by the members. But the scheme was not entirely successful, and there are at present a number of men who play tennis and do not belong to the club. Whether or not they will ultimately all become members is doubtful. The scheme proposed last fall for the assignment of courts was not entirely satisfactory, and some again resent the claims of the club on all the tennis grounds. By reason of the popularity of the game, almost all the available courts have been occupied, and it will soon be necessary to decide upon some rules for the occupancy of the grounds; and these rules must be for the benefit of all, or their efficiency will be impaired by men who remain outside the association. Early action is called for, and the officers of the club will do well to give the matter immediate consideration.
