Of the Monument team, in
the surprise match Of yesterdays criti-
cal play, they yielded their teams las
chance at the Public Parks League
crown which today firmly rests upon
the heads Of the team from the Monu-
ment grounds.
They won it by q margin Of one
match over their Georgetown rivals
Five matches went to the Monumental
players yesterday and three to Mont
rose. 1t took just exactly that margin
TO clinch the championship for the
winners. Otherwise, Monument would
have been forced to play OF its one
postponed match with Potomac Park,
and Montrose to play two postponed
AFFAIRS on its card, in order that de-
cision might be reached.
Team Standing Close.
When play started yesterday after
noon on the Monument courts, the host
team had 81 wins and 10 losses chalked
up, while the visitors score stood 1918.
A win for Montrose yesterday would
have swung the scale in their favor
an even break would have necessitated
the play-off Of the postponed tits.
Winners Upset Dope.
And with the score standing AZ for
Monument and two almost certain VIC
tories on the doubles courts for Mont
rose, 1t looked like the Westerners had
the break
But Staubly and Garnet accomplish
ed the well-nigh impossible and de-
feated In straight sets. SIS, g., two
men who were judged their superiorS
singly and who. teamed together, have
won many court honors. Garnets soft
drives and skillful tactics proved q vital
factor in the triumph. Both Mitchell
and Buchanan are hard hitters and
when they got hold Of some Of Garnet's
sailing. Stauhly served championship
tennis and proved valuable ally at
net.
The new public parks champions will
have q try for the interleague title as
soon as the committee can make ar
rangements for this event, which CHI
MAKES the league season.
Strong Opposition Looms.
They will have some strong opposi-
ton from the Treasury netmen. winners
of the Departmental League champion
ship; Bureau Of Standards. Suburban
League laurel winners. and the Column
bia Bank team. which annexed the
Bankers League crown.
