10 The Show Was Too Realistic For the Youngster ... By Hoban —^~ ———— — T — —■——^i^yLi —^— jf°f§| TO LIMIT HOURS Oil GITY TENNIS COURTS Tooths Under 16 May Play Before Noon Saturdays and 5 P. M. Weekdays WILL REUEVE CONGESTION Assistant Park Superintendent Hoffert Suggests Plan For Adults' Accommodation Congestion on the city's tennis courts at Reservoir park during the summer months will be relieved If a plan suggested by J. R. Hoffert, assist ant superintendent of parks, can be ■worked out successfully. Assistant Superintendent Hoffert's scheme is to prohibit children under sixteen from using the courts Satur day afternoons and after 5 o'clock on week days. By this plan the adult players who can only use the courts after working hours, may have an op portunity of playing without being compelled to wait until the younger folks release them. "For years the Reservoir courts have been more than ordinarilv pop ular," said Mr. Hoffert, "and the de mand for more courts has been grow ing every season. The park authori ties hope to have additional courts provided, but If Council fails to allow sufficient funds this year for the build ing of new ones, the increasing de mand will have to be filled as satisfac torily as the circumstances will per mit. "The plan hasn't been definitely de cided upon as yet. but the idea' now held is to limit the playing hours of the youngsters of sixteen or under to week-days up to say 5 o'clock and up until noon Saturdays. "Most of the older people who play —and believe me. they are in a ma jority—can't possibly get to the courts before 5 o'clock and then even In the long days of summer, the playing time 1 is necessarily limited because of the light. Some of the older folks get a chance to get out to the parks Satur day afternoon and for this reason I think we can work out a plan to pro vide a chance for everybody and not curtail the fun of any." New screens and concrete bases with Iron poles will likely be provided for the Reservoir courts if Council allows Park Commissioner M. Harvey Tay lor's request for funds for the purpose in the 1914 budget.
