Ladder Tournament Plan
For Tennis Association
LADDER 24 SPORT
With several inter-city team
contests in view, the Salem Ten
nis association is planning to hold
a ladder tournament which will
be the method of selecting the
team to represent it.
The ladder tournament will
start next Sunday. In order to as
sure plenty of active competition,
officials of the association have
decided that players will not be
ranked originally according to
their probable ability.
Instead, all players who were
members last year, will be ranked
in the order that they stood at the
close of the season. This will not
apply, however, to old members
who do not renew their member
ships by Saturday.
New players who joined the
club this year or who will have
secured memberships by Saturday
will be racked In the order in
which they joined the club. Old!
members who renew their mem
berships after Saturday will be
ranked In the same manner.
This will naturally place some
strong- players well down the list.
and they will have to do some ae-l
tlve challenging in order to get
np where they belong.
Persons wishing to secure mem
berships may apply to the secre-i

Hull of Tennessee Puts
Up Plea for Dry Plank
HOUSTON. Texas. Jurfe 23.
(AP)- Decided opposition to any
modification or weakening of the
present federal prohibition mea
sures was voiced here tonight by
Cordell Hall, of Tennessee, who
has the endorsement of the demo-!
cracy of his state for the presi
dential nomination.
"Whether this effort takes the
form of an attempt to commit our I
party to modification," he said.
"or whether it takes, the form of
a demand for congressional ac
tion, I am against it"
"The necessity for the preser
vation of the constitution and the
maintenance of the Integrity of
the law is one which Is not open
to political discussion." he added.
"It is an indispensable element of
honest citizenship."
