...olders on squeaking, rattling "machines," eliciting shrill yells from their mucker audience, are not soothing to the nervous systems of the inhabitants of ground floor rooms. We all know what a nuisance the muckers are when a concert or anything else is going on in the yard, and how annoying they are when we wish to lie around under the trees in warm weather. We have in mind certain tennis courts on the north side of Jarvis that were almost ruined by the wear and tear of mucker ball games. The muckers hold full sway; they annoy us at every...

It is believed that if all tennis players will do this much of the annoyance now caused by the host of small boys will be done away with. Tennis players will then know where "shackers" can be had, and will be able to make some choice, while the boys, if they are hired at these places alone, will cease to annoy players on all parts of the fields. If the tennis players...
