TITLE
In Mems Doubles Goes To
MI. Vernon
Thursday Deciding Fortunate
Team --GambieF Wins
Mixed Doubles

Mt. Vernon talent finally put itself
into running for final honors in the
Knox county tennis tournament Tues
day afternoon, when Levering and Ro.
senthall defeated the hitherto invinci-
BILE Walton brothers of Gambler in
straight sets, GA and Ga. The mems
doubles are one of the big events in
the tournament and it was with great
deal of pleasure that local tennis fans
witnessed Mt. Vernon at least get a
finger in the pie.
The point score shows that the Wal
tons lost out on netting the ball. They
secured more placements-22 to g.
but had 2S nets chalked up against
them to their opponents II. Outs
we're about even, the Levering- -Rosen-
thall team having one more to their
discredit. However, the Waltons
served four double-faults to their op-
ponents one and succeeded in getting
only one ace to their opponents sew
CIs DULL lOdinO WOthOu
and at times produced some spectacu
lar play. The Waltons were the more
aggressive, playing net game contin-
ually, but failed to rush their veteran
opponents as they had expected.
Steadiness won the match for the local
team. They will meet Allen Sapp and
]. T. Foote in the final round of the
mems doubles. The match had been
scheduled for Wednesday afternoon,
but, owing to the funeral of Mr.. w. III.
Pratt, has been postponed until Thurs
day afternoon at three o'clock. The
match will be played on the Round
Hill court and it is the earnest desire
of the committee that large crowd
turn out to witness this-the final
wind-up of the fourth annual tourna-
ment.
The Gambler mixed doubles team,
consisting of Miss Helen Thompson
and Robert Walton were victorious ov-
Ell Miss Mary Clements and Robert
Eastman in the final round of that
tournament. They took the first set
in easy fashion, 6-3. At the opening of
the second set, the Mt. Vernon couple
started in to cross-court the others
and playing this game consistently,
succeeded in wrestling the second set
from the Gamberites, 6-2. In the third
set, Miss Thompson and Robert Wal
ton played more aggressive tennis and
swept the local couple off their feet,
not, however, before they had been
forced to face a stiff battle. The re-
suit was Ga.
Thus, Gambler wins the mems and
ladies' singles and. the mixed doubles,
while Mt. Vernon must rest content
with the mems doubles, Thursday af-
ternoon deciding which local team will
wear the laurel crown.
