T. H. Owens elected FMTC President (1913). Club reorganizes and new constitution written.

In 1913 the Club reorganized completely, with 142 “charter members.” Membership was limited to twenty persons per tennis court, and any individual over sixteen years old was eligible.

After the 1913 reorganization, women were no longer elected to the Board of Governors, and they did not have a direct voice in managing the Club again until the 1970s.

The new Club constitution stated that “the objects for which this club is formed are to provide and maintain proper grounds and facilities for playing the game of tennis, the development of social life among its members, their physical improvement and enjoyment, the accommodation and entertainment of the members and guests of the Club, and the promotion of the welfare of the neighborhood.”
