Mad Poacher Escapes
Players
Warned
He can streak across
the court and hammer you with a backhand volley as hard as most
guys hit an overhead. So beware, and don't stand too close
to the net (especially if your partner can't keep the return
low!) Just ask Jim Wainscott what can happen. Or,
better yet, roll your mouse over Wainscott below.
According to
Wainscott, it was just a routine practice match with his guys.
"All of a sudden this ball came out of nowhere and knocked the
sunglasses clean off my face. Heck," he says, "if I had
known the guy was that good, I would've had him on my side of
the court."

Senatore Receives Award
Garry Senatore,
founding President of the new Roeding Park Tennis Club,
received a Service Award during the March tournament
ceremonies. Under Senatore's leadership, the club became a
charitable Non-Profit corporation in the State of
California. With his familiar chuckle, Senatore mingled
with his old pals during the tournament. He promised to
come out to the courts more to work on his tan and his
spectating skills.
Ball Bounces To Napa
Mike
Ball also received a prestigious Service Award during the
March tournament. Ball, who spent as much time on the Roeding Park tennis courts
as the leaves that seem to be permanently on court #1, has moved
to Napa. The former RPTC President, has already found a
local USTA team to satisfy his lust for the game. With his
wacky spins, Mike will surely brush the nap off the Napans as he
conquers his new tennis foes. Ball made a considerable
contribution to RPTC in his few years in Fresno.
There is
no doubt he will be a sweet addition to his new arena.
