TRIMS SPENCER GORDON

Connie 3. Doyle won the District tennis
championship yesterday afternoon in the
twenty-ffth annual tournament at the
Bachelors Club IN Woodley Park, when
he defeated Spencer Gordon, last years
title holder. in the finals in three straight
sets, 60, SIS, and 6-S. This is the sew
enth time Connie has won the District
title. although he has not entered the
Journeys for six years.
Doyle won the championship six times
in succession prior to 1905 The honor
has been held in the family since then,
however, as Gordon captured the trophy
last year from Louis l. Doyle. Connie
received a handsome trophy for his VIC
,ory.
As predicted last week when the two
raCksters met in the finals in the Column
bia Country Club tourney. Gordon, after
making hard dash to the final bracket
lost the title. In the opening set Gordon
won only fifteen points. but after this,
when Connie seemed to slow up little,
he managed TO take six games out of
fourteen. Gordon played a hard and
steady game and stuck 10 his task to
the last minute. Doyle won by his puz-
zling chopping stroke. The card for
the match follows:

Another good match that attracted
much attention was that between Connie
B. Doyle and Herbert Shannon VS.. Spen-
team winning by 6-4 and 81. Shan
mons work was the feature of the match,
As he returned many difficult shots at
the net and was accurate in service.
While Shannon PLAYED at the net Doyle
covered the back courts which proved too
much for the losers.
