That the Pell- Bundy duel went to five
SETS was due only to the fact hat there
were more form reservals crowded Into
the match than had been seen In a con-
test between good players In many a
day. Pell was away of his game and
showed good tennis only In spots. Bundy
could not be expected TO do very much
In view OF the small amount OF WORK
he has had or the courts this year. YET
every once in a while he helped mat
tiers along by playing some real tennis
The match was a deep driving anaiI
