IS, "a.
This year marks the fourth time that
Jennings has been member Of the
championship doubles team. Last year
he paired with Considine to gain the
crown.
Harder driving was the chief char
acteristic of the Jennings-De Lara tri-
umph. Markey, who represented his
native city, Indianapolis, in the tourna-
ment, and Yeomans time and again
pushed across soft lobs only to have
them returned with a speed that viz
tually tied the hometown boys In knots
as they tried futilely to get them back
across.
YeOmans OF Game.
Play of Marley was Of high order
and in the opinion of some observers
his work was best Of the four players.
Yeomans was of his game and, though
he played well at times, his numerous
errors told. Marley lost his service just
once throughout the match, while Yeo-
mans dropped his four times. De Lara
showed strongly at service, losing just
once, in the eighth game OF the third
set.
With defeat looming, Marley and
Yeomans rallied CALAMITY in the closing
stages of the third set. Trailing two
games to five and with competition at
match point De Lara double faulted
to make it deuce. Then the Washing
tonians took the next two points ana
the game and went on to take the
ninth game at love on MarkeyS service.
Jennings and De Lara, however, came
back to capture the tenth game at love
and annex the match and title.
To gain the final Jennings and De
Lara brushed aside earlier in the day
Bob Considine, District singles cham
pion, and Dooly Mitchell, washington
parks title holder, In keenly fought
| fiye-set encounter. The scores were
81 O-6. So, 81, Ga. Markey
and Yeomans reached the final round
through victory over Arnold Simons OF
Louisville and Edward Nowak OF
Buffalo, rs, 81, 81: Prior TO
downing Sinons and Nowak, the
Markey- Yeomans combination gained
the deciding set of a quarter-hnal
match halted by darkness Friday, over
coming Jack Castle and Leo j. Kroman,
| both of Buffalo. The count in the mai
set was 6-3, the counts in Friday S
matches having been 81, Ga, ST.
| 6-3. ,
In both their quarter final and semi
| final matches Markey and Yeomans ex-
hibited admirable team play. their ex-
hibitions at the net being particularly
good.
Stage Hot Battle.
Until the late stages of the fourth set
the battle between Jennings ana De
Lara and Considine and Mitchell was
red hot, with little to choose between
the combinations. The 81 victory
scored in that set by the visitors, how
ever, seemed to sap the stamina OF tne
fiercely contested every step of the re-
mainder of the match they could not
get going again consistently.
Jennings court covering was impress
sive. with his exhibition at the net es-
pecially spectacular, as it has been
since the start of the tournament. De
Lara played well in the latter stages
after a mediocre start. Mitchell's work
was decidedly superior to Considine's

nings and Mitchell on the Rock Greek

his third straight title. He is favored
to take Mitchell, being figured the more
