His sm7shes. which had been so woefully

out of position. Selden's work lacked
pep" and his partner, while making a
number of good shots. did not play the
game he is capable OF putting up.
The Cissel-Le Fevre team won the
first set rather handily. So. but things
looked very bad for them in the second

that their good teamwork showed up
and also their superior steadiness and

BEATEN In THE DOUBLES

Any one watching the matches in the
final rounds OF the District junior tennis
championship tournament on the Prince
ton Clubs courts yesterday afternoon
would have thought, from the brand of
tennis shown. that they were watching
a championship match in the senior class,
In the singles, Harold Selden, last
years runner-up, won the title, with
Howard Cissel as runner-up, O., 81,
81. In this match, Selden looked to be
a more finished player. and he really did
not let himself out until the last set.
After taking the opener, a.. Selden ap-
peared to loaf to a certain extent, and
before he could get back on his game
Cissel had the second set tucked away.
After a few minutes rest. the match
was resumed. and Selden, playing one OF
his best games, took it in rather easy
fashion. 6-i. Throughout the match.
Cissel played in unusually hard luck in
losing many points by only a few inches
over the back line. Then. again, he was
unfortunate in his smashes, as he had
any number Of chances for kills, but
failed to take advantage OF them. espe-
cially at critical stages, when points
meant game. His placements were good.
but he was simply outplayed by Selden.
who was all over the court, and appeared
to be equally strong with his back and
forehand strokes
Selden's victory was a very popular one
TO the youngsters who are looking ahead
as he will be ineligible to compete in
next years event because OF his age, and
as Howard, last years winner. is in the
same fix. the trophy can not be won by
either of them. which means that II is
just the same as new one, and will have
to be won by one OF the coming genera

the fact that it now requires twenty

that all mail for these communities

My Dear Mr.. English: / have under

that sub-post Office he established i'm

that the establishment of such a post

ment I could point TO. Upon refec-

sub-ofioe would be practically in the
centre Of the retail wholesale and
manufacturing sections OF the greater
portion Of our city. In the matter
OF forwarding parcel post packages.
especially. such a sub-ofice would
prove OF inestimablc value TO bust
ness houses in the wholesale and re-
tail sections.
As understand it. practically all
OF the mail, particularly that going
10 southern points. is forwarded
through the Pennsylvania station. II
becomes necessary. therefore. for
business houses TO mail parcel post
packages at the postofhce at Ninth
and Shipley streets. az least an hour
earlier than would he necessary If
there were a sub-ofice near the rail-
road station. In other words.

the sub-oflce and It would still be
forwarded as early as one delivered

be a matter OF great convenience and
OF untold business value 10 the
