FOR TENNIS PLAYERS
Opening Matches at Chevy
Chase and Final Rounds in
Middle Atlantic Tourney.

With the Nationals out of town today
tennis will probably be the prevailing
sport. In the middle Atlantic states
championship tournament, which is now
being run off at the Bachelors courts,
today will witness the final rounds. In
the mems singles H. E. Cotton will meet
j. Homer Deis, and Spencer Gordon will
meet A. w. Howard, the winners Of
these two matches to get together in the
finals, and the winner of this match will
meet Harold E. Doyle, the present title
holder, in the challenge round.
In the woman's singles the Lawn Ten
mis- Association does not allow a middle
Ttlantic states title. consequently there
will be no challenge round, although
Miss Marie Winner, last years winner, is
an entrant. She is scheduled to meet
Miss r. Baker in the semi-final round,
which match she should have very little
trouble in taking, and she Will then have
to fight it out with Miss Hildegard Turtle
Of Brooklyn, New York, in the finals
She defeated Miss Turtle in the recent
Chevy Chase tourney. and her friends
look for her to repeat.
Slow in the Doubles.
Less progress has been made in the
mems doubles event than in any other
the first round not having been completed
c. B. and III. E. Doyle won this title last
year for the third time which gave them
permanent possession of the handsome
trophy. Another one is offered this year
which compels them to enter the tourna-
ment in the regular way, in order to COM
pete for it. They have had very little
trouble so far and are looked upon as
sure winners.
The semi-tinals have nearly been COM
pleted in the mixed doubles, the only re-
naming match being that between Miss
Winner and Hills and Miss Downing and
Hackett, the winners of this to meet
Miss Turtle and II. f. Doyle in the final
round. AS this event was not OH last
years program, there will be no challenge
round.
