The unfinished match of Friday in the
challenge round of the mems doubles be-
tween Touchard and Biddle and the
Doyle brothers was comp eted, the lat
ter taking the necessary set and thereby
retaining their title. The score for this
set was 81. When darkness called halt
to the game Friday, the Doyles were
leading by two sets to one. Yesterday S
match was not a bit different from Fri
days. Biddle did most of the work for
his side, and did it well, while the Doyle
boys We're at their best. They went out
in almost record time, allowing the visit
ing pair but IL points in the set, the card
for which is given below.
Fourth set:
DOYLE and BOYLE. 4-2s-G
Touchard and Biddle. o 2 o = Pill
Harold 4. Doyle, with Miss Eva Baker
won the match in the fina round of the
mixed doubles, their opponents being
Miss EustiS of Boston, and George y.
Gordon Of the Westside Tennis Club of
New York city, the score being CO and
Ga. This march was much closer one
than the scores would indicate, as many
of the games We're deuced ones. which
were only decided after the hardest kind
of play. The winners played a very good
game, showing good teamwork as well
as individual play. Miss Baker was al
ways on hand when needed and she
handled everything that came her way.
Gordon was the weaker player of the
EL.Stis-Gordon side, and he fell down bad
ly time after time. Miss Eustis is one of
the strongest woman players who has
been seen on the Chevy Chase courts for
some time. Her serve is just about as
strong as man s. and she gets her balls
over the net almost every time. She was
particularly strong at overhead play and
with her back-hand strokes. and her work
attracted lots of attention throughout
the match. She is most graceful in her
playing and makes the hardest kind Of
shots look easy for her.
The first set, which went to the Baker
Doyle pair, 60, was much the easier of
the two, although had their opponents
had any luck at all on several occasions
when they were within a point or so of
game, the result would have been much
closer.
The second set, which proved to be the
deciding one, was unusually close up to
the eighth game. when the score was T.
all. Up TO this point Miss Eustis and Mr..
Gordon had been playing splendid game,
but they made several bad plays. which
their opponents were quick to take adj
vantage Of and lost out
The tennis committee is receiving con-
CALCULATIONS on all sides on the business
like manner in which the tournament was
run. as this was the first time in sew
eral years that a local affair of the kind
has been finished up in schedule time. The
fact that there still remains match in
the women's doubles to be played should
not be counted against it, as the post
ponement of this match was made neces-
sary because both Miss Baker and Miss
Eustis, who will figure in it. have had SO
many ether matches to play
