Dear Dr. Allen:

In reply to your letter of the 22nd regarding
the official Tennis Tables. I would appreciate it
very much if you would try and locate two regulation
tables. Inasmuch as I am bringing the Top Ranking
Players of Kansas City I would not want to ask them
to make an exhibition, before such a crowd, on the plain
varnished tables. They are anxious to put on as good
an exhibition as they are capable. The varnished
tables not only would handicap the vision, it would
effect the bounce of the ball.

I was conversing with Junior Coen the other day
and mentioned the subject of Tennis Tables in Lawrence.
He said several of the Profg:had them in their homes,
so you probably won't have much trouble — two
tables,

May I also make the suggestion that you have
four ushers or boy scouts to run down the balls?
I am afraid if we didn't have someone, we would
spend most of the twelve minutes shagging balls,
with so much 7 behind us,

We are looking forward to making the exhibition,
and sincerely a= that we can put on an interesting
show, |

Very truly yours,

Ruth Forsythe,
