Id, Cooney, displaying indomitable
spirit, captured the next two games by
15-11, 16--5.

more finished opponent surprised the
gallery spectators. Strebeigh attempted
every trick play in his category te

most sensational Of "gets" and smash

his best in the second game, but in the
third he weakened badly, Cooncy gath
ering his aces quickly.
Two other three-game matches feat

ginning with victory in the opcnin,
game, but being unable to hold thei.
