The most spectacular doubles match
OF the day proved to be the match
played by Brunsgek and Bray rep
resenting Douglas and Mackay and
Ross representing Bisbee.
With honors APPARENTLY even TO,
the day in all matches this contese
was staged as the final match of
the day. Brunskog and Brady an,
nexed the first set Ga. With the
score at Sail in the second set the
Blsbee team rallied and brought the
set to 5-3. Douglas rallied for
game but Bisbee finally took the

Ice and took one game. Brunskoe
clipped off another game with his
service working perfectly and held q
81 lead. Bisbee won two games and
douglas took the deuce game. Heroic
efforts to put the set awav for
Douglas failed as Mackay served sew
eral aces and brought the score tn
5-all. After the score was 5-aII each
player won his own service until
the final game when Brady traiIinp
on his service at 3O-4O, failed to re-
turn terrific drive from Mackay's
racquet. The final score was 15-13.

ing set was that practically every
game went to deuce and the piay
Tor points above deuce alternated
several times, sometimes in favor
CT the Douglas fair and sometimes
with the Bisbee team.

service and plays the set might have
ended sooner. When Mackay and
BrunSkog were a trifle erratic in
placements Brady and Ross came
20 the rescue and pulled manv q
shot out of the fire to keep their
team in the running.
Brilliant plays by each teams kept
