Evening star., 1922-06-11

1t would have taken only a slight
smile from Dame Fortune in the sim
giles to have placed it up to the
match, than ended at a set-all to have
been the one on which the issue
hinged. When four of the singles were
completed, Baltimore led by to J.
but Washington took one of the next
two and lost the other by hairs
breadth. l.. W. Bates falling before
W. e. Crawford. after leading 4-3 In
the deciding set.
Make valiant Effort.
Then. when it was UP to the District
representatives to take ali of the
three doubles 10 win. they made
valiant effort to come through. win
ming one match. after losing the first
set, making a game. but losing an
other after facing the same odds and
tying UP the third after getting
away badly.
Baltimore presented a well balanced
team that was strong all down the
line, and that Washington gave the
Orioles as much of battle il did
was more or less of d surprise. And.
while Washington won only two OF
the singles. it sprung an upset in TAX
ing one of them. John Temple Graves.
jr., defeating l.. F. Turnbull. the rank
ing player of the middle Atlantic sec
ton. after losing the first set.
Graves. who was unsteady at the
start, after dropping the first set Al
20. suddenly reversed his torn ana
allowed the Baltimore star only three
more games. Graves PLAYED fine ten
mis- once he got started and won by
his own brilliance rather than from
any let-up of his opponent. fIe was
here. there and every where in cover
ing the court and not only got the
ball back but placed it well
Graves and Turnbuil played mos
wonderful tennis in the fourth game
of the second set which the fC~mer
won after deuce had been called ten
times. The rallies were prolonged
on nearly every point. the game re-
ouiring more than twenty minutes.
kunkeI Is Double Winner.
Ray Kunkel, Georgetown Cnivers-
ity captain, and J. A. Magee put on
regular marathon, which the Blue
and Gray netman won after three
deuced sets. totaling SO games
Kunkel won the first at 12-lO. ran
the second "a his way after trailing
at Al. only Ia lose OF at 10. and
then took the final at -. The clash
required more than tw" hours. but
both players came back for more in
the doubles and they got it.
kunkel, who took thu place of Ar
thur ienCksn. who was out Of town,
figured in two victories. he and Col.
Wait &. johnson defeating Crawford
and P. L. GoldSborough. who. like his
partner. previously had won i'm the
singles, scoring over Arthur HELEN.
c. NJ Charest. the District cham
pion. helped Baltimore To tw" tri-
| umphs. He continued his habit of
taking final contests by close mar
gins from Tom Mangan. and with Will
/ liam Sweeney, with whom he shares
the Middle Atlantic doubles honors.
scored over Dwight f Davis and Hei-
| len in three-set encounter
A. c. Hoblemann was the other
Baltimore man to win, his victim be
! ing J. Ballard Moore, who has not
been giving much attention to the
game this season. Mangan and Bates
and Turnbull and Magec figured N
the drawn affair.
There was an unusual phase to tho
Davis-Hellen and Charest-Swecncv
match in that all three of the first
named players are left-handed. II is
seldom that you see three southpaws
on the courts in the same day. much
less in one contest.
