The third of the inter-club tennis
matches was played yesterday after
noon on the Bachelors courts. when
Bachelors and Chevy Chase clashed,
/ the latter winning rather decisively,
seven matches to two.
| Fhe most interesting match of the
afternoon was that between George l..
Lewis of Bachelors and John K Graves
of CHEVY Chase, the former winning,
| 70. 10 and Sc. At the beginning
of this match it looked as IL Graves.
the more experienced player. would
win hands down. as he fairly romped
through the opening set. But the
youngster found himself in the second
and put up splendid game. When
Lewis is good, he is very good. He
has service which is exceptionally
hard and accurate and which is al
ways puzzler to his opponents. He
can probably cover as much ground
when ne IS right as any other player
in the District and he knows what to
do with the ball and how to do 1t.
In the second and third sets of his
yesterdays match he played his OPP
ponent to a standstill. Both of these
sets were deuced, the second requiring
twelve games and the third fourteen.
Each player was within a single point
of winning on several occasions. but
every time his opponent was able to
hold him safe. Graves put UP his
usual good. steady game throughout
the match, but was simply outplayed
by small margin in these two sets.
Doyle Wins for Bachelors.
The other Bachelors victory was that
of Harold f.. Doyle over Capt. J. Upshur
Moorehead. e. and Go being the score
Doyle had a very easy time winning this
match. Moorehead appeared to be a lit
tie off form. while Doyle never looked
better. His service had Mooreheads
goat and the Chevy Chase player could
do nothing at all with it. being aced on
any number of occasions. Doyle loafed
a little in the opening set and allowed
the visiting player to take four games.
but he shut down at the proper time and
took the set and then took the next in
straight games.
Another interesting match in the singles
was that in which r. p. Grosvenor de-
feat ted Arthur HELEN of Bachelors 81,
lost the opening set. which was a deuce
one. but he pulled himself together and
took the next two in quick time, allow
ing his opponent but five games in the
two sets. Grosvenors strong overhead
play featured the match, although he also
appeared to good advantage at ground
covering and serving. HELEN is still
little inexperienced. and. with more tour
nament work. he should be very good
player.

interesting match. the former winning,

of the second set. which went to the
Doyle-Howard combination the match
was close. Many of the games went to
deuce in the third and deciding set, and
II was anybody's until the final point
was scored Howard was not putting
up anywhere's near his best game. and
this is largely responsible for the vic

In the other doubles match Spencer

but the victory went to the older players

critical stages of the game.
