FINAL TENNIS MATCH.
Columbia and Dumbarton Teams
Meet Saturday.

The end of the local competitive ten
mis- season for this year is at hand.
The District championship usually
marks the end of the season, except
for small informal affairs. which have
no bearing on any title.
Saturday the Columbia and Dunbar
ton tennis teams will line up in the
final contest of the year in the Wash

This will be match worth. watching.
for each team has one victory over
the other. and. in all probability, both
clubs will be represented by their best
combinations.
Although Dumbarton won the team
championship by defeating the Chevy
Chase Club team three weeks ago, and
Columbia has second place without a
shade of doubt, the battle Saturday
will go long way toward clearing up
the doubt regarding the relative mer-
its of the two teams. In three matches
Columbia has been unable to put it's
best men in the field. and lost two
matches through this cause. Twice
was Connie Doyle out of town, and
twice Henry c. Breck was unable to
play. In one match. when both Doyle
and Breck were not in town, Columbia
was beaten by Chevy Chase, and this
cost the team a chance at the cham
pionship. Dumbarton has always been
able to get it's best men on the courts.

Johnson said.
II am certain that the world series
will start on October 7. The contest
ants might be willing to begin Octo-

American Lea que race closes one day
earlier than the Nationals. so do not
think that would be fair to the Ma

looks as If the opening game will be
played week from next Saturday.
owing to the uncertainty of the
race We have been unable to make any
arrangements for the series. and

remain in the west. The White Sox
still have a chance, but. Of course, in
