Dawson and c. Rogers put up the
next best match OF the day in fighting

the argument. He played a safer back
court game and ran a little ahead of
Rogers in nice placing. The matches
were fast throughout, Rogers having
three games in the second set to Daw-
sons four. The two following games
were all Dawson's, and in the last
game Dawson let himself out, like

final round. His work was superb.
Dawson won this championship last
year also.
Winnie Mace's victory over Peters,
tennis player of high standing In the
middle west, was accomplished In

tennis and they won in two sets mana.
ily. 6-1. 6-1. Miss Sutton appeared at
her best, sending the ball back from
any point on the court and sending II
with a hard drive. She could make the
ball hug the court, 1t seemed, ana sew
eral times her opponents swung thelr
racquet against empty air. being TOO
high for the sphere. Miss Browne
plaved some excellent ball and at times
the hall went back and forth until the
SPECTATORS cheered. Miss Browne made
one return of let ball which was par
