No Mason-Dixon Tourney Planned
Beckley West Virginia June 23 The Mason and Dixon tennis championships revived last year after a lapse since 1937 will likely be forgotten again this summer. Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Association president says no arrangements exist for men singles and doubles. Last year’s play was at the Greenbrier hotel White Sulphur Springs which now lacks an athletic director and PR staff. The Greenbrier hosted the event from 1921 to 1937 and formerly drew top players. U S Davis Cup trials at the Greenbrier are not planned this summer.
