Ihe match between DOYLE and No-

on the championship court, next to the
clubhouse. and among those who

national woman champion; Mrs George

Before Doyle and Noshell came out
on the course it was generally felt that
Noshell, with his strong overhead game.
his severe service end his aggressive
volleying, would prove bit too much
for the Washingtonian. Doyle is chief

strokes ard very keen eye. but most

since the latter takes the ball on the
full volley AZ every opportunity
But this time Doyle surprised those
in the gallery and Voshell, too. In
stead of relying upon the trickx bound
of the ball to help him out he went
for the net position himself. and his
volleying was fully as brilliant as
Noshell's. The Brooklyn man was very
effective overhead in the opening set,
and every time NJ got a chance to
smash or take an overland volley he
usually won the point. But Noshell
made several costly mistakes OF judg-
| ment, allowing the ball to go by him
on a number of occasions under the
impression that it was going out of
court.
Doyle Plays Accurately
But Doyle was very accurate yester-
day and his errors were few and fax
betvecn After NosheI had taken the
hrst set at I'd, Doyle continued to
gain in accuracy and severity, and the
volleying rallies between the two play
! ers were filled with sensational shots
There was little deep court playing
| both apparently having made up theii
minds to win or lose at the net.
Doyle took the second and third sets
at 6-3, 6-3, during which period he
was plainly NoshelPs master. The lat
ter was faltering little overhead and
he was experiencing trouble digging
the ball up from the turf when Doyle
chopped short drives into the fore
court. for the Washingtonian was mix
ing up the pace very cleverly.
IN the fourth set Doyle held a one
game advantage up to 81. and three
times in the tenth game was only :
single point removed from victory. on y
to have Nosheu, playing his most brill
liant tennis OF the match, stave off de
feat by beautiful voleying and the
severest kind Of smashing.
