WOMEN In SPORT

Fifth Baptist in the final series Of
matches scheduled
While Petworth holds the lead, the
outcome of the round robin may not be
determined until the last match Is
played for the West Washington First
and Fifth Church squads are close on
the heels of the leaders.
An example of purely unselfish en-
thusiasm for a sport. loved for the
sports sake, is shown in the interest
taken in local net events by the retired
members Of Washington's most re-
nowned tennis family, headed by Connie
Doyle. whose equal has never been
found on local courts.
Having established tennis in WASH
ington many years ago. and watched it
grow from a casual sport to one of the
major activities of the Spring and Sum-
mer seasons here, the Doyles have not
laid aside their enthusiasm with their
rackets. None of them take an active
part in the tournament play today. yet
Aida M, Doyle, the first woman cham
pion of the District, Is working diligent-
ly on the committee for the Women's
District of Columbia tournament this
year, while her brother, Harold, better
known as "Rol" has donated trophy
to be put in competition as a challenge
cup.
Miss Doyle has spent many hours
during the past three weeks at Column
bia Club entertaining the racketers of
the Women's District Tennis League in
series of invitation matches designed TO
arouse interest in the approaching tour
nament--and many of those hours have
been spent entirely IN watching others
enjoy themselves for often she did not
even get one good set herself.
