PARKS 



At Tacoma, Washington, the following regulations are enforced: 



Rule I. If others are waiting to play, no players shall 

 keep a court for more than two sets. 



Rule 2. If a set gets to a six all score, one game shall 

 decide the set in order that it be not unduly prolonged, 

 this ruling being effective only when there are players 

 waiting their turn at the court. 



Rule 3. If four parties are waiting to play, the four 

 should be able to play at the same time; that is, singles 

 may be begun while no one is waiting, and if already 

 begun may be finished, but singles should not be begun 

 while others are waiting. 



Rule 4. No persons within the tennis court enclosure 

 are allowed to disturb players in actual possession of the 

 courts by playing with tennis balls back of the service

 shall be hereafter designated as juniors, and eighteen 

 years of age or more, as seniors. 



Rule 6. No juniors will be permitted to play after 

 4.30 P.M. unless there are vacant courts and no seniors

 these conditions, and seniors arrive and want the courts,

 of the set then in progress. 



Rule 7. On Saturdays, Rule 6 will become effective 

 at 2 P.M. instead of 4.30 P.M., and on Sundays and holi-
