...association is to be praised for the excellent work it has accomplished, and every tennis player ought certainly to be enrolled among its members. Strange as it may seem, however, there are some men who prefer to avail themselves of the club's privileges without paying the merely nominal fee required. It has been decided to prevent this "dead-head" occupation of ours, that no person shall be allowed to use an association court unless prepared to show a certificate of membership, and it is hoped that this course will result both in increasing the membership of the club...

In former years trouble has been caused because certain men were arbitrarily given rights to courts, while the great mass of players could only avail themselves of courts when the so-called "owners" did not wish them. All this has been done away with, and there is now no reason why any one should refrain from joining on any such ground. We repeat that we earnestly hope the notice of the need of more money...
