j. H. Winston and Hugh @. Whitehead Of
Norfolk, Va defeated Eiverd and Kendall
Of Pittsburg in the semi-finals Of the ma
tional clay court tennis doubles, SO. 6-1, 6-a,
The team from Virginia play together in
almost mechanical perfection ana Il was
this feature of their game that really de-
feated the Pittsburg entries, who are un-
used to playing in a double team together.
| Siverd and Kendall played their usual
speedy game, hitting the ball and placing It
we'll. but the Virginia pair were there every
time with a hot return, and generally had
the edge just a little on the deciding point.
Nine Of the twenty zone games of the match
were deuce games
| The Pittsburg men had been touted as
being capable OF giving Whitehead and
Winston a hotter match. most Of the tour
nament men having expected st least a
four set match. whitehead, and Winston
are admittedly one of the best doubles teams
in the tourney, and few bets were made
that the Pittsburgers could win the match.
VtrEinians Play Hard.
] The game started with siverd and Rem
dali with the serve, siverd serving. The
Virginians took the first four games in short
order. the great height OF Winston making
1t almost impossible 10 get the ball over
on a lob, and he kills a ball with q stroke
that there Is no hope OF being able TO re-
turn when at the net. The second set was
the closest, the Pittsburgers fighting every
game hard.
