Accommodation of Spectators At Championships
(By "Tinker")

Facts and figures which he gave to me the other day re- veal that there is an enormous degree of keenness among the militarymen, and it is a spirit that is deserving of the greatest encouragement from all possible quartera.
It is not surprising that this
is so for the British soldier is 1

is stationed, and this is one rea- son for which
