EAST COAST ASSOCIATION

PROJECT

THE POWERS COMPLAISANT,

The project for the formation of a new lawn tennis association, to control the game in the Poverty Bay and East Coast district, appears to have every chance of reaching consummation within the next few weeks. The New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association lias intimated .that, providing tho Hawke’s Bay AssoeiaLot lifters mi objection, it will provisionally lecognise the new association, pending consideration of the application by the annual meeting of the N.Z. Lawn Tennis Assoeia :ion. in August.

The Hawke's Bay l awn Tennis Association has already indicated to those ie.sponsible for the movement that no objection will be forthcoming from that quarter, and therefore lbo only possible barrier to the formation of the new Mast (least, body need not be considered. Some of the clubs ill the district in which the East ( oast Lawn Tennis Association will have jurisdiction arc already aH’il.'afed with Hawke’s Bay, and the New Zealand parent body lias simply stipu'ated that these clubs must' pay their affiliation dues for (bo current year to the Hawke's Bay Association as usual. When tho afinu'a] meeting of the superior authority con firms tlie provisional recognition of the new organisation, the dues for the ensuing year will, ofcourse, form the basis of its finances, INTER-CLUB COMPETITION. f TO-MORROW ’S INAUGURAL TOURNAM ENT r The movers in the new scheme have already taken steps towards inaugurating tho intor-club competitions that will be a feature of its programme, and a tourney will be ncld to-morrow at the Gisborne L.T.
