was spent at cards and dancing.

were put on by members of the Association,

Tennis Invitation Gomes From
Cleveland
ROM time to time considerable agi­
F tation arises from the ranks of a
certain group of employes who take
their tennis with the same seriousness
as the baseball man takes his swattag
and the golfer his elusive pellet.
The latest rumble emanates from
Cleveland, where E. R. Opperman,
elected Director of Tennis for the
Cleveland Athletic Association, forecasts
a busy season for his court
stars.
Opperman, who is located with the
Car Department at the Nottingham
Car Shop, reports that indoor court
practice during the months of April
and May is doing much to round out
the form of contestants, and inter-

departmental competition will shortly
begin.
11 would seem to be well worth
while at this early stage of the game
i" (•uiid out the possibilities of a few
rontests between variously located
Uhletic Associations with a view toward
determining the tennis supremacy
of the New York Central.
This may be construed as an open
invitation for the racket wielders to
have their say. Should sufficient interest
be shown, the sport will undoubtedly
organize rapidly because of
i In- deep enthusiasm that actuates its
devotees.
I rank Wenzel, Buffalo, Turns
Professional
IT won't be long before the Buffalo
" baseball fans will be scanning the
lm\ score of the major league to see
how young Frank Wenzel is making
out.
This young man, who has played
uilh the Seneca Yard Team in the
New York Central Athletic Association
League in Buffalo for the past
two years, decided to take a chance at
' he professional game and landed a
berth with Connie Mack's Athletics.

fans, is considered the best
catcher around Buffalo. He is a
i lean-cut fellow with the best of
habits, weighs about 180 pounds and
can throw bases like a big leaguer,
frankie has batted over 400 the past
two seasons, and his Buffalo friends,
• ho are numbered in the hundreds,
are all pulling for him and hope to
K him in the Athletics line-up before
