WINS BUT ONE SET IN FOUR

One great upset featured the semi
final round of the Chevy Chase Clubs |
annual spring tennis tournament yes
terday. Connie Doyle, who was the
playing through holder of the trophy.
was defeated by Harold Throckmorton
of Princeton, 6-1, 6-4, S-6, 81, in
fiercely fought match replete with
beautiful tennis. Doyle, who has been
playing very well this year. struck
tough customer when he went against
the man from New Jersey. Throckmor-
ton is the possessor of a terrific drive
and a superb back hand stroke, and
against the splendid pace and unerring
accuracy of the collegian's strokes the
local mans game seemed to dwindle
away and become ineffective, although
Doyle in the third set played some
pretty tennis, when, as he saw defeat
looming up. he uncovered all he had
and took chances on some of his hard
forehand drives.
Doyle's service, which usually is
enough in itself to beat his ordinary
opponents, held no terrors for Throck-
morton. who seemed to take delight in
length. Throckmorton has a first serv
ice ball which is a dazzler from the
standpoint of speed, and when it comes
over the net as it was doing pretty
| regularly Yesterday it is practically
| unreturnable. His second ball has IA
| terrific amount of cut and break. and
| is very hard to handle, the break, of
| course, going in the opposite direction
| to the swerye.

any of the side lines yesterday. and with
| this he seemed to lose his terrific serve
| as he saw that his cuts were not go
| ing in.
Victory Well Earned
| Throckmortons victory was thoroughly
well earned. and he will meet H. c.
Breck Saturday in the finals for the Army
cup presented b. Gen. Johnston. Breck
| produced a splendid brand of tennis
against j Ballard Moore of the home
| club. showing ability to handle the
puzzling delivery of Moore and uncover
| ing his tremendous drives. which usually
passed Moore when he attempted to take
| the net. Breck is a newcomer to the ranks
| of tennis here and he showed enough in
1 this match to justify the prediction of his
| challenging the supremacy of Connie
| Doyle. which was early advanced by those
| who like his style of game. He has fine
| chance to take the measure of Throck-
| morton, and the opinion of those in the
| know is that his ability to place his
| shots without his opponent being able to
anticipate them will more than make up
| for the Princeton mans tremendous serv-
| ice.
| All the other departments of the tourna-
| ment were well advanced by the day
play. A Y. Leech of Columbia, paired
with Z. o. Leech, made a good show
ing against Throckmorton and Irving
Wright. taking thirteen games in the
| three sets.
