state League when Overbrook Golf club
and Belfeld A, the two admittedly best
teams in that division. were forced to play
In the opening match of the schedule.
Last Saturday, Division A of the Tri-
state League was a victim OF a similar un-
fortunate circumstances. for the Cynwyd
team, present champions, and the German
town A team, which seems fully as strong
as Cynwyd on paper, were scheduled to
meet. and their failure to do so. with the
exception Of three matches, is rather in the
nature Of a blessing as 1t will be much
more interesting for these teams to meet
later when the players on both teams have
mad some practice.
1t would be infinitely better II these inn
portant matches could be played late in
the schedule as with the supremacy OF the
two supposedly strongest teams In doubt,
II would make for much greater interest
and serve to intensity the keenness OF the
competition.

steady players meet. The points were in

over the net countless times in each rally,
and although the Cynwyd captain won, in
sequence sets, the scores Of 81. Ga show
that there was very little to choose be-
tween the players at the finish
The doubles also furnished fine con-
test. The Belfield pair went right through
their opponents in the first set which they
won at 6-2. The Cynwyd duo braced con-
siderably in the second set and succeeded
in reversing matters to the tune of 6-3. Be-
ginning the third set, the Belfeld men hit
a streak OF fine play, which carried them
into a lead OF 80 and Al.
At this point 1t seemed to be all ever
but the shouting. as Messrs. Smith and
Cathcart were apparently going too well
to be headed. To the surprise of the gal
lery, however. Leonards and his partner
came through with the best tennis they
