MITCHELL IN TWO
MUNY NET FINALS
Plays in Doubles Today and
Contests for Singles
Title Tomorrow.

~ DOLLY MITCHELL, who was to
figure in the doubles titular
play today paired with Will
- liam Buchanan, will battle for
the singles public parks net
crown as we'll tomorrow, when he op-
poses the winner of a deferred semi
final match scheduled this afternoon
beSyeen Bob Considine, defending
champion, and Frank Shore, junior
champ, at Henry Park courts. The sin
giles final will be staged at 8 O'Clock to-
morrow on the Rock Creek Park courts,
Sixteenth and Kennedy streets.
Mitchell yesterday triumphed i'm
pressively over Maurice C'Nel, title
holder in 1923 and "a, as, Ga.
While points were close, Mitchell ap-
peared to have the upper hand most
Of the time. O'Neil held the edge at
81 and again at Sd in the opening
set but Mitchell evened things on each
occasion and romped through three
straight games to annex the set after
the ninth Stanza.
Mitchell in Command.
O'Neil started the second set on his
own service, which he won on the first
and third games, again giving him an
edge. From this point, however, it was
Mitchelrs match. He ran out a A
lead before O'Neil was able to stem the
tide momentarily by winning again on
his own delivery. Mitchell scored in
the eighth and tenth games when he
was serving, clinching the match.
The MontroSe Park star scored some

such a manner as to leave no room for
argument. On the few occasions when
Mitchell advanced to the net, he en-
ployed stop-chop or base-line smash
which caught his opponent flatfooted.
Judging from yesterdays demonstra-
ton, with Considine having a hard
time on the next court to keep one
jump ahead of Alan Staubley, in a
quarter final tilt, which he finally an
nexed, 8-6, g., it would not be amiss
to predict that Mitchell has more than
parks crowns within the next two days.
He is generally conceded to be stronger
than Frank Shore, should the latter
upset the defending champ.
Perhaps Bob was not extending him
self yesterday. He wasn't at the net as
often as expected. But however that
may be, Staubley, gaining an edge in
the service toss, led the lanky George
Washington ace throughout the first set
until games stood at 5-3 and 40-15.
Double Faults Decide.
Only Staubley's two costly double
faults saved Bob from defeat at this
point. Bob subsequently won that game
and the next two for a 6-5 edge-his
first since the match began. Staubley
took his own service to tie the count in
the twelfth, but Considine crowded him
out in the next two for an 8-6 win.
In the second set, Staubley trailed So,
then pulled up to the short end Of a
5- count, only to have his own service
annexed for the match game.
Mitchell and Buchanan are to battle
ONeil and George Shoemaker at 8
o'clock this afternoon on the Henry
Park courts for the doubles champion
ship. While the former team is slightly
favored. stiff opposition is expected from
the O'Neu-Shoemaker combination.
Winners of both the singles and
doubles events will be sent to Buffalo
to compete in the national public parks
championships August 1924.
