Johnny Is Back

Johnny Hennessey, local tennis fash,
returned to his home late last night from
Miami, Fla, after a three weeks tour
along the coast, during which time he
competed in several tennis tournaments,
and met the cream OF the tennis talent in
the United States with great success.
Hennessey left here to compete in the
Florida tennis championships. When he
took the court in this event he swung
a tennis racquet for the first time in
several months, but he had all his old
stuff with him and tore through the early
rounds, to be defeated by Ichaya Ku-
magae, the famous Jap net artist in the
semi finals. The local boy won the first
and third sets by scores of SO and TO,
and lost the second, fourth and fifth sets
by scores of TO, Ga and SO.
The state champ says he is in great
form and feels as though he can burn
up the Indiana courts this season. While
in Florida Hennessey lived at the home
of Carl G. Fisher.
