II was after the most consistent and
careful playing that McElroy reached
the finals. while Drennen's route was
somewhat easier. as he did not meet
with as strong opposition in the semi
finals as did the Pittsburgher. When
the two boys started the match which
decided the championship in singles
the big crowd gathered around the
court and cheered enthusiastically.
The boys displayed little nervousness.
as both have passed through the same
experience many times in other tour

the first set McEiroy displayed a little
more speed. winning IL by the score OF

Elroy seemed to grow better as the
match progressed. taking the second set
by the same score. A. the governing
rules require the winner TO take three
