Myonal Net Meet Slated in York
The national tennis championships will be held at Forest Hills in a streamlined six day format from Sept 1 to Labor Day. Men and women singles and mixed doubles will compress entries, with half the fields and two free matches daily, aiming for spectator access and a busy, informal schedule. The plan was announced by Ward, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, after a special committee recommended the change.
