turf courts OF the Orange Club, at Noun
tain Station. y. j., yesterday. BY care
fully controlled back court driving he de-
feated 8 Howard Voshell by the score or
6-S, love-6, 81 The sweeping power OF
Voshell's net game broke upon the rock
like steadness Of Dionne's driving. In the
rallies, long and desperately fought Vo-
shell usually found himself helplessly out
Of position as Dionno sped the ball past
him TO the far corners Of the court.
In only the second set. when he made
his service accomplish all OF the work, was
Voshell successful at overcoming the
strategy OF Dionne The defeat. coming

He kept the ball swinging into the corners
and by timely lobbs held his opponent
safely back until he had taken the first set
by a close score.
