WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB IS
BUILDING CONCRETE STADIUM
- j
NEW YORK, Mjy 20. (Bv As >■
elated Pros*.)—Out at Forest Hills,
a suburb c.f New York, a monument
to American progress 1 tena is
being erected, a massive concrete
horseshoe stadium \v,th a seating ca
ipacity of 13,000, permitting of en
largement to seats for 21,000, is tak
ing form on the grounds of the Wes:
Side Tennis Club, where some of
the greatest of tennis battles have
occurred.
On the turf eourt3 within ths rim
of this horseshoe many of the ten
nis classics of tho world will be
held. As a result *>f its undertak
ing in erecting the stadium, the West
Side Stadium has been granted the
Davis Cup Challenge round this year,
tiie Men’s Nation'll Singles Cham
pionships .front 1924 to 1028 and tho
Davis Cup Challenge Rounds or the
Men’s Doubles Championships from
1028 to 1932. This covers a 10-year
period.
The National Women’s Champion
ship this fall will be tho first im
portant event in the stadium.
To tho tennis idealist the stadium
11s an evolution, moving from the old
wooden stands and clubhouse In an
other part of tho grounds where
thousands saw Maurice E. McLough
lin and Norman Rrookcs in their
memorable Davis Cup match of 1914:
sa.w the magnificent struggle between
R. Norris Williams and William M
Johnston in 1910; and the dramatic
five-sot match between William T.
Tilden and Johnston in 1920.
Throughout tho length and breadth
of the laud tennis .is tho eport of
sports; played by youngsters and
old folks, uoys and girls, men anil
"women. Its devotees ar-» hundreds of j
thousands. Crowds at championship
tournaments grow with the seasons
Open bleachers of small seating ca
pacity no longer aro adequate. Thus !

From the handsome luggage trunk on the rear to the
nickeled drum head lamps the Buick four cylinder
touring sedan has an air of smartness that is distinctly
new in a motor car of its price.
This model combines the rich luxury of the fine closed
car with practical every day utility for business and
social motoring. Touring is made comfortable by the
luggage facilities the trunk provides and by the broad
vision afforded by the wide windows.
Fitted with every convenience for comfort in winter
and summer and completely equipped for restful driv
ing and riding, the four cylinder touring sedan is recog
nized everywhere as an exceptional motor car /alue.
