EA : TTT Ch 2 on WINNETKA TALK June 4, 1927 FAMILY TENNIS TOURNEY SCORES HIT WITH FANS Novel Indian Hill Event Attracts Largest Number of Partici- pants in History of Club When George Judson Higgins, ten- nis instructor and manager at the In- dian Hill club, conceived the idea of promoting a general family tennis feud, it is probable that even he did not know just what he was starting. Cer- tain it is, however, that when the im- aginary bugles blew "to the colors" last Saturday, Sunday and Monday, there were gathered upon the club courts a pleasant nercentage of the family cir- cles of Winnetka. And equally certain is the fact that the matches that were played on those three days were sim- ply hot and furious. According to those in charge, the largest number of people ever to par- ticipate or witness a like meet were in evidence. The entry schedules were filled out almost to the utmost capacity and the general interest was greater than has been accorded any other ar- rangement ever tried at the club. As the championship in the upper bracket had not been plaved off at the close of the matches on Monday. Jean Armstrone met Helen Fulton in the final gam» of the semi-finals at five o'clock last evening; the results of which were not available at press time.

Everyone in Winnetka is urged to join the Playfield association. The membership dues are only one dollar, which goes toward defraying the ex- pense of prizes to be played ior during the season. Others, who take out membership tags, aid in the support or the coif grounds and provide additional funds necessary for the upkeep of the course.
