come through at least that far this year.
but he really heat himself yesterday.
Rosenbaum could not get going In his
usual speed at all in the first set and
he had hard time winning II after Il
had gone to deuce at all. Ths was
partly because he was playing for deep
court and ovethtting the ball thereby
giving his rival many points on errors.
Even at that. however. MS brilliancy was
enough to Offset the wasted strokes and
he pulled out on TOP.
In the second set Roscnbaum got go-
Ing and II looked as II he would walk
away with the match, for he had the
lead a, nv game TO two and 40--lh on
the gam. score. with only on" point TO
go for se. and match. Eoscnbaum made
gof for set and match. Rosenbaum made
the mistake of his life by easing up He
tossed away what should have been an
easy ace by trying to place the ball in
the corner when any other place on The
court would have done just as well. His
stroke would have been al right Of

This made the score 500 and still
