CHEVY CHASE FOSTERS
FINE TENNIS TOURNEY

Followers of tennis have much to looh
forward to in the coming year if the
1919 season may be taken as a criterion
Undoubtedly the season just past fur
nished some of the best sport in the an
nails Of local tennis
AS has always been the case, the Chevy
Chase Club furnished the feature Of the
season in its annual spring event. in ad-
dition to having a record entry list
among them being Wallace Johnson, third
ranking player in the United States. and
a member of the victorious Davis cup
team; Fred c. Inman Of New York
Charles NJ Bull, jr, of New York; r. L.
James of Saratoga Springs George linn
of Montpelier, and many others of note.
From beginning TO end, surprises and
upsets were in order. Wallace johnson
was picked to win the event. but he was
defeated by lnman. Harold +. Doyle
came very near to winning from Charles
NJ Bull, jr.. who further upset calcutta
tons by beating Imam in the finals. and
then taking Connie Doyle's measure
in the challenge round. The Doyle family
came strong in the doubles, Conrad and
i'm the mems doubles, and Miss Eva Baker
and Harold b. Doyle successfully defend
ing their title from Miss Du Bose and
Spencer Gordon in the mixed. Miss
Baker also won the singles, and she and
Miss Bryan We're the runners-up in the
women's doubles, which were won by
Mrs. Lawson OF Cincinnati and Mrs
Carlisle
The other spring tournament was that
for the middle Atlantic states title, Con
ME Doyle winning the event and then
defeating r. l.. James of Saratoga Springs
for the title in the challenge round. Ar
thur HELEN was the runner-up. Miss
Bryan upset calculations when she won
the wornens title from Miss Baker, but
the latter, who was off her game In the
singles, came back in the mixed doubles
which she and z. Il. Chapman won C. b
Doyle and Norris W. Mclean won from
Louis L. Doyle and III. Barber in the
finals of the mems doubles.
The finals In the mems singles of the
other two communicated for the Dis
trict championship, decided on the Bach
elors' court, and the annual fall event at
Columbia--were almost Identical, Conrad
b. Doyle and Spencer Gordon fighting it
out in both. Doyle coming out ahead on
each occasion. In these tournaments
Conrad Doyle and Harold Doyle who
usually play together in the doubles split
up and took other partners, but notwith-
standing this, each figured in the finals
of both events. Connie and Paul L.
Treanor defeated Albert J. Gore and H.
while in the District championship event
he and Herbert Shannon were defeated
by Harold e. Doyle and Albert j. Gore,
who had previously eliminated Louis /.
Doyle and Barber in the semi-finals
Miss Eva Baker won the women's sim
giles in both events
The inter-city matches, which proved
to be so popular in 1912. were for some
reason discontinued, but several intereiub
affairs with both local and out-of-town
clubs We're arranged.
This year sees the passing of the Bach
elors Lawn Tennis Club. which has been
in existence for so many Years, and
which has done SO much for the net
game in Washington, but the lease on
the present courts has expired, and as
| most OF the members have cast their lot
with other clubs, it is quite likely that
the club is now a thing Of the past
