Wading through the choking dust of Harvard street, Brighton, on the way to Soldiers Field is not a nice price to pay for access to a game, in spite of the fact that we have grown to accept dust as the welcome alternative for rain and mud.

Until the courts on the South side of Jarvis Field are resurfaced and ready for use, the other courts can be retained for but one hour, instead of an hour and a half.

Without attempting to place the blame, we trust that in the future arrangements can be made to sprinkle Boylston Street several time before the inevitable traffic begins. A repetition...
