MANY TENNIS MATCHES
. IN SUBURBAN LEAGUE
Schedule Is Brought Up to Date,
With Holmead Leading
for Title.

Considerable headway was made In
the last few days in bringing the
schedule of games in the Suburban Ten
mis- League up to date. In the matches
scheduled for last Saturday Holmead
defeated Benedicts, 5 to 2; Woodley
Park defeated Princeton Heights by the
same figures, while Petworth took all
seven matches from Euclid. In the
matches postponed from the 18th Hol-
mead has taken four out of six from
Petworth with one to be played: Wood
ley Park has won six from Euclid and
suffered one defeat, while Princeton
Heights and Benedicts have their
matches still to play.
In the PetworthH Holmead and Bene-
diets s-Holmead matches the former
teams showed considerable strength
against the league leaders. In the en-
counter with Petworth every one Of the
four doubles matches played went into
three sets, while the second set Of each
of the singles matches were won only
by scores of S-6 and IS. The sur
prise of this tournament was the VIC
tory Of Peggy" Knox over Holmead in
No. singles by 81 and IS. On
the Benedicts courts Holmead also had
to fight hard for every match won
Barber and Lathrop in No. l doubles
had their hardest contest of the season
against Spence and Carr.
The latter took the first rather easily
and had the second set 80 before the
Holmead players got started. BY bril-
liant net work the latter finally cap
tured the second set. s-6. The third set
was taken. GO. Carr and Winfield did
good work. the former winning in No. 2
singles, 81. o-6 and s-s. Both play
ers afterward participated in a hard
fought. three-set match Of doubles. Carr
partnered with Spence losing to Barber
and Lathrop. and Winfield coupled with
Bentley losing to Gaskins and Heine
In the Euclid-Petworth meeting the
former, although strengthened by the
addition of J. B. Beadle Of tho Interior
Department Home Club suffered another
whitewash. The most closely contested
match was that between Gluck and
and Trott and "Prexy" Jones
Gluck has been the only Euclid player
to score a win so far. but JONES' assisted
by Trott. proved too much. Ctssell and
Ballinger of Woodley and Hixson of
Princeton Heights were the stars in the
matches between their teams.
