JOHNSON WINS
EASY VICTORY
Successfully Defends Delaware
State Tennis Championship
Against Rev. H. ]. Kendall

Wallace f. Johnson successfully
defended his title as Delaware State
champion in singles by defeating the
Rev II. J. Kendall in straight sets,
Ga, 6-2, GA Both players are Phil
adelphians. The match was rather
one-sided, as Johnson never weak
ened and gave his opponent very little
chance to show himself. The win
ner's strong points were his short
lobs, which he kept along the base
line, and the short passing stroke,
which Kendall could not fathom
Johnson let up at the end of each
set, after having the lead, but Rem
dali could not get going long enough
to materially decrease Johnson s
lead.
The Rev. Mr.. Kendall played a
plucky game, and was always ready
to take advantage of his opponents g
mistakes. but Johnson was his mas
ter at all stages of the match.
In the final round of the doubles
DR.. E. B. Dewhurst and J. r Car
penter, Jr.. defeated n. NJ. Tilden and
f. E. Dixon, 6-3. 6-3, In very one
sided match in which the losers were
outclassed.
Dewhurst and Carpenter will meet
the Rev. Mr.. Kendall and Rogers, the
holders of the title, in the challenge
round on Monday.
In the consolation doubles the semi
final round was reached, In which De
Cazinove and Johnson disposed of
King and Chandler, 6-3, 81, and Glib
bons and the Rev. Mr.. Kendall de-
feated Douglass and Hill. GO. 60

IT FAILED TO RAIN
ON. ST. SWITHIN'S DAY

II failed to rain on St. Swithins.
Therewill probably be Joy in the
ranks of the baseball fans, the sol
diers in camp and the lovers of out
door sports, but when it comes to the
farmers, the street cleaners and the
automobilists, why that is quite a diff
ferent matter
St. Swithin could not possibly
please everybody, and when he said
it would rain for 40 days if it poured
on the day he was buried he evidently
thought that It would be spitework
on the part of the elements. If the
sun shone in all its glory. then, of
course, it would continue to shine
every day for the 40 thereafter.
That was what happened yesterday,
and if the good old saint keeps up his
record for the next three fortnights
there1l be a long dry spell.
