Final Days Of Western Meet
at Woodstock Filled With
Possibilities.

Sixty-four tennis players in the
western singles; along comes plenty
Of competition and then there were
four. After today, only two; after
Sunday, only one. The semi-finals
in the mems singles Of the Western
championship at Woodstock courts
today offered every prospect Of
dazzling display of the net sport.
1t would be difficult to select two
more evenly matched contests than
George Lott of Chicago VS.. B. !. G.
Norton OF San Antonio, Tex. and
Alfred H. Chaplin of Springfield,
Mass. VS.. John Hennessey OF Indian
apolis. The matches were scheduled
at 1870 this, afternoon. {
Finals in mems doubles. and finals
in women's doubles were a part of
today's program. Hennessey-C Chaplin
VS.. Williams appears to be a
toss-up. One Jbf the combinations
was to be Western champs after
today's match.
Mrs. Olga We'll and Miss Clara
Zinke of Cincinnati were favored to
cop the women's doubles title when
they met Miss Helen Cansfield and
Miss Marion Pearson of Detroit. The
first.namedy pair upset the dope on
Friday by defeating Mrs. Chaplin and
Miss Leighton, the first seeded team
in the women's doubles. 4-6, Ga, Ca.
Semi-final matches in women's
singles and mixed doubles also were
to be played, making up a high
class card OF much variety.
Strong Pair
In Fridays play Hennessey and
Chaplin found the Kunkel brothers
of Cincinnati easy in semi final
match, and after taking the first
set, Ga, marched through the two
remaining sets without losing a
game.
B. II. C. Norton and Jack Mckay
won third round doubles match
from Bell and j. Norton after five
sets, Ga. 6-3, SIS, 2-6, rs. The veter-
emi-final match completely wilted,
williams and Lott winning, rs, 6-1.
6-3.
Favorites came through in the
women's singles, Mrs. Chaplin, Miss
Leighton, Mrs. We'll and Miss zinke
winning easily. Three local players
were victims.
The victory of Mrs. Well and Miss
Zinke over Mrs. Chaplin and Miss
Leighton in semi-final women's
doubles match developed the best
women's tennis seen in this city for
many moons.
Miss Zinke Star
1t was a battle from start tolinish.
Mrs. Chaplin displayed some beau
tiful tennis in an effort to stave off
defeat, but Mrs. We'll and Miss Zinke
were steady and at times brilliant.
Miss Zinke is only a youngster, but
appears to be a coming star.
Miss Cansfeld and Miss Pearson Of
Detroit defeated the local pair, Miss
Haworth and Mrs. Pugh, 6-1, 6-3.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin, J. Norton
and Miss Leighton. George Lott and.
Miss Zinke, Paul Kunkel and Mrs.
Wei1, won semi-final matches in the
mixed doubles. The Chapins and
Lott -Zinke combinations appear to
be the most formidable teams.
