The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1927-08-11

and a half due to inclement weather,
the Eighth Annual Western Maryland
Tennis Tournament got under way
Tuesday afternoon, with the opening
match between Gwynn King, of Wash
ington, d. c., champion of last years
tournament, and Lieut.. Fooks, of West
Point, son of Senator w. F. Fooks, of
Maryland. King displayed excellent
form, both in his service and his abil-
ity to place his return shots out of
reach Of his opponent. He had little
trouble taking the match CLIO.
Of the other elimination matches,
the most interesting was that be-
tween Dave OLaughlin, of Windber,
Pa, and C. Front, in which the for
mer was victor in two straight love
sets. OLaughlin looks rather formi-
dable and should give anyone a hard
fight for the cup, as should "Bill"
Reed, Oakland entrant.
Stars Entered.
Among other we'll known players
in this section entered and some of
whom have already won their matches
in the first round, are John OLaugh-
lin, a brother of Dave; John Brown,

who incidentally took his opponent,
A. L. McCardle, into camp with appar-
ent ease in straight sets, 6-2-6-2; w.
D. Reed, Oakland, champion of Culver
M. A., 1925; Jarvis Adams, of Pitts
burgh, winner of 1921-1925 tourna-
ment; J. Randolph, athletic direc-
tor of D. & E. College, Elkins, and
George A. Sawin, of Pittsburgh. The
latter as we'll as all of the above men,
toned, with the exception of Ran
dolph, had little trouble with their
opponents in this round. Randolph,

three hard-fought matches, GA; 4-6;
60.
