From a Special Correspondent

Pago Pago, Sept. 1.

CIVILIAN tennis enthusiasts in Pago Pago re cently formed the Tutuila Tennis Club and set out to raise funds for a concrete court.

Generously assisted by the Government, the committee held a Sports Queen Competition and a very successful dance. The new Governor and

Mrs. Wild attended, and the Governor carried out the ceremony of crowning the Sports Queen.

Miss Elizabeth Wulf, an ex-Apia resident, whose sales of tickets amounted to 38 dollars, was pro claimed Queen, and she was later presented with a Slazenger tennis racquet on behalf of Messrs.

Slazengers (Aust.), Pty., Ltd. Miss Wulf asked that the racquet be raffled for the benefit of club funds, and 20 dollars was thus collected.

The winner, Mrs. Pritchard, decided to raffle the racquet again, and it is likely that an addi tional 50 dollars will be obtained. Funds are now in the vicinity of 400 dollars.
