WINS 5 MATCHES TO 4
Harold Doyle's Victory Over Nc
Chung the Feature Match
Of the Day.

The second of the !nterclub tennis
matches was held yesterday afternoon on
the Chevy Chase court. and for a second
time the Maryland club representatives
were the victors, the Bachelors Club
being their opponents. Chevy Chase won
five matches to four. taking three out Of
the six singles and losing but one out OF
the three doubles matches played.
Several upsets Of form occurred. but
few OF the players on either team being
at their best. Grosvenor, Hills. Howard
and Graves seemed to be particularly
bad.
The feature match Of the day was that
between the two No. / men, Harold E.
Doyle of the Bachelors and Lee McClung
Of Chevy Chase, the former winning in
straight sets, TO and 6-3. Doyle look
ed to be at his best in this match and
he put up splendid game. playing the
former Chevy Chase champion to a
standstill. 1t was good match. The
this one McC1ung showing his best form.
and threatening to win on several oc-
casions. but each time Doyle was able
to hold him off, and finally after the
took advantage of a couple of misplays
and captured the next two. which gave
him the set
The second set was easily Doyle's, and
McClung did not look to have q chance.
Doyle received a flying start and allowed
McClung to take but three games. two
OF them coming just before the end and
amounting to nothing more than an ex-
tension of time.
Best Player Wins.
McCluns put up very good game in
this match and lost for no other rea-
son than that he was up against bet
ter player. His steadiness, which has
| always characterized his game, was in
| evidence and he covered his court in the
most approved fashion. He could not
cope with Doyle's speed or his ability at
placing the ball and lost many OF his
points on balls which he could not reach
| at all. Doyle Is rapidly improving in his
service, and this is getting to be one OF
his strongest points. His service has al
ways been good. but it is noticeable in
his last few matches that he Is putting
On much greater speed without appar-
emily losing any of his accuracy.
Another good match in the singles was
that In which Spencer Gordon, a former
Bachelor member, defeated Capt. Albert
w. Howard. Pc, 60 and rs. Howard
has not displayed the form this year
which gave him the District champion
| ship last year. and although the match
OF yesterday went for three sets Cor
don looked to be the better man, and
as no surprise.
Gordon is playing a greatly improved
game this year. He is letting himself
out more and is taking more chances. In
former years his principal trouble has
been that he has been afraid to take
many chances. always playing a safe
game. Toward the end Of last season he
beSan taking more risks. sacrificing some
Of his accuracy for speed, and from that
time on he has steadily improved. The
ming one with 60 score. The third
called for extra games, and after twelve
hard-fought ones Gordon was declared
the winner.
between Capt. ]. Upshur Moorehead Of
the Chevy Chase team and Ralph W.
Hills. the former winning, 6-1, 80 and
81. Moorehead took the first in easy
fashion, allowing Hills but single game.
In the second Hills was victorious, his
win being almost as decisive as that Of
Moorehead. Moorehead took the third
and deciding one, 6-1. This set was
much closer than the score would indi-
cate. many Of the games being deuced
and Hills being threatening on any num-
Der OF occasions.
Best Match in Doubles.
The best match In the doubles was also
the most important. 1t was the last one
on the card and on 1t everything depend
ed. as the score at that time stood 4
matches all. John Graves and Spencer
Gor6lon and Albert w. Howard ana Ralph
w. Hills were the opposing teams, the
Chevy Chase pair winning after three
close, hard-fouGht sets. CT, &c and e.
1t was certainly an exciting match.
Graves and Gordon have been playing
together for the and their
teamwork was probably responsible for
turning the tide their way as in every
thing else the sides appeared to be equal
all four men putting up strong individual
games. Howard and Hills took the first
two games In the third and deciding set
but Graves and Gordon came right back
by taking two Of the next three. At 4-all
the men were playing their best. as they
days play depended on their efforts. The
Chevy Chase pair took the ninth game
which was a deuce one, and after some
exciting play they also managed to cap
ture the next. which gave them the match
and their team the victory.
Harold f. Doyle and George Lewis one
of the younger players of the Bachelors
Club. sprang quite a surprise by their
easy victory over j. Upshur Moorehead
and E. P. Grosvenor Go and 60 This
lattea, PAIR has always been ranked as the
second strongest In the District and to
have Doyle, with a rather inexperienced
man defeat them Is quite a feather in
the caps Of the Doyle-Lewis combination.
