FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Aug TT now
lies between Indianapolis and Cleveland
in the tri-state tennis argument that has
been carried on at the Fit. Wayne COun-
try club since last Saturday.
Upsets in the wOmen's division Of the
meet have been plentiful, but after the
first few rounds of play the fans drawn
here by the meet picked Fritz Bastlan'
Johnny Hennessey, Waiter Westorook
and Kenneth Simmons as the four best
mems bets and today these four had
reached the semi finals and were ready
to battle for final round positions.
Hennessey and Bastian, the Indianap-
oils flashes. were to meet and West
brook and simmons, Cleveland players,
were to settle little debate OF their own
FINALS CARDED
ON SATURDAY.
The winners of today's matches will
meet tomorrow for the championship OF
the biggest tournament staged IN TINS
section of the country.
Fate has PLAYED a prominent part in
this tournament. For the first time IN
as far back as some net enthusiasts can
remember, Johnny Hennessey and Fritz
Bastian drew positions In the same
bracket and they were to clash in some
thing other than a championship match.
As usual their match today was doped
to be zone of the seasons greatest.
These two indianapolis youths will meet
in tournament play as often. or more, so,
than any other net rivals In the coun-
try, but no matter when their match
rolls around, the fans SET back and pre-
pare to witness a real tennis battle The
beauty part of the thing is, Johnny and
Fritz are so evenly matched that their
match is never decided until the referee
checks up the last point.
Taking things as they stood today, In
dfanapolis looked like the champion pro-
Queer. Westbroo5 and Simmons, the
Cleveland players, hold about the same
position in the tennis world, with West
book. a little stronger.
A Westbrook victory today, or a Sim
mons win by a close margin, should
mean that Indianapolis will have easy
sailing tomorrow, whether Bastian or
Hennessey is carrying her banner, be
cause Hennessey proved himself su-
perior 10 the Cleveland star in the IN
tercity matches staged on the Indianap-
oils Tennis association courts last Sun
day, and it does not seem as though
he has lost any of his brilliancy dur
ing the play here this week. Neither
does it appear that WestbroOk is play
ing any better game now than he ex-
limited Sunday afternoon.
The indianapolis boys have shown the
sterner stuff this week and either or
them will be a heavy favorite to tear of
4 win tomorrow.

and Bastian were to meet another lndi-
annapolis pair, Starbuck and Parker, and

apOlis- Cleveland show, with Hennessey
