in National Doubles at
Boston Today.

Connie" Doyle and Fred Harris OF
the Columbia Country Club, as win
ners of the middle Atlantic doubles.
will play Maurice Mclaughlin and
Thomas Bundy, Pacific coast victors.
in the national tourney at the Long
wood Club. Boston. this afternoon.
Mclaughlin and Bundy yesterday
eliminated Willis Davis and Van
Dyke Johns. two other Californians.
western champions. Doyle and Har-
ris will get a real test in meeting
the former national titleholders, and
if they get by today with a victory
they must be figured in the running
for the title. Individually Doyle
and Harris are exceptional players.
but it is doubtful whether their team
work is sufficiently smooth to carry
them to success. as they have been
playing together for only short
time, while Mclaughlin and Bundy
have teamed for years.
Connie Doyle will go to South
ampton, Long Island, for the tourney
there following the doubles at Bos-
ton. He will play in tho singles and
Dudley Morgan of the Chevy Chase
Club. Morgan is at Rockaway Beach,
Long Island. this week, playing in
tourney there to tune up on grass
for the play at Southampton. which
begins August 49, Doyle later will
take part In the national singles.
which start at Forest Hills. Long Is
land, August 20, as will Fred Harris,
who could not find the time to go to
Southampton.
The team that wins the District
title will have a difficult job on Its
hand when it meets the Maryland
Athletic Club combination for the in
tercity honora. Among the racketers
who represent NJ A. c. are Brooke
and Turnbull. state doubles cham
pions and singles players of great
ability. NJ. A. c. also has several 9TH
er stars, the team being strong all
down the line.
Chevy Chase Club has lost Harry
Irwin, one OF its most promising
young racketers. He has taken a po-
sition in New York.
Dudley Morgan's absence will great
~ reduce Chevy Chase Clubs chancess
of defeating War for the city title
next Saturday. His loss not only viii
be felt in the singles, but 1t will break
up the sure to win" Morgan Moore
team in the doubles. It looks as if
War would be the team to invade the
"wiids" of Baltimore and to enter
tain the Monumental City racketers
here.
A match that would attract great
interest would be one between Mrs.
Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, present
and several times previous holder of
the national singles championship,
and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, who has
held the title a number of times. Both
have three children. Their husbands
also are tennis players of note and ALI
of the offsprings bid fair to follow IN
the footsteps of their parents.
The committee for the national
championships at Forest Hills, L. l.,
August rs and following days. have
decided to limit the grandstand seats
to 1000. This surely will not meet
the demand with the Australian stars
and Americas best competing.
Vincent Richards, the boy tennis
wonder" of Yonkers, N. Y, contem-

Carleton Y. Smith of Atlanta, Ga,
one of the leading players Of the

mis- Association. and member Of the
executive committee of the national
organization. has been designated
