As Osborne Pianist

Paul Denniker. solo pianist with
Will Osborne. the original radio
crooner now appearing in person
at Warner Bros. Earle Theater,
was a pilot in the Royal Air
Force Of the British Army, a few
years ago, with little thought of
continuing his career as a nu-

Denniker came down to earth,
however, and resumed the piano
work which he had interrupted
for his aviation. After spending
several years In London. he moved
to New York and there met and
was engaged by Osborne.
Denniker has q number of
popular compositions to his credit,
but has not allowed music to

still an expert flier, and during
the local engagement, he expects
to take members Of the Osborne

When ''Fioretta," one Of the
famous Earl CAROLS most pre-
tentious musical shows, 1nfolded
its splendors to New York last
season, there flashed into sud.
den prominence o girl whose
dancing skill and beauty caused
blase first-nighters to sit UP and
take notice.
It was a time when the adagio
foursome was just being intro
duced. Back and forth across
the stage, high into the air, three
burly men tossed that girl,
twisted her. catching her again
and again just as she seemed
about to crash upon the stage.
Ever since that night on Broad
way, this girl has been riding
high on the crest Of fame as the
most daring and spectacular of
adagio dancers. The girl is
Peggy Taylor, and she is to be
seen this week at Loew's Palace
Theater. She is the leader Of the
Taylor Leon Ensemble, featured
in Singing to the Stars" a stage
presentation from the Capitol
Theater, New York.
There have been numerous
adagio foursomes at large since
Miss Taylor scored her hit. But
her current exhibition differs
from anything which she and
others have presented before. It
is q ballet pantomime. a delight.

all those spectacular and dan.

The story told Is that Of a

CALIFORNIA YOUTHS
FEATURE NET PLAY

BY the Associated Press.
CULVER, Ind, August 15.-The
sparkling play of three California
youngsters has provided the thrill Of
the unexpected in the national junior
tennis championships here
Favorites from the South and East
fell by the wayside yesterday before the
smashing attack Of Larry Myers and
Billy Doeg Of Santa Monica, Calf, In
the doubles and Charles Hunt OF San
Francisco in the singles.
Myers and Doeg, the latter young
brother of John Doeg, Davis Cup player,
upset two seeded teams, overcoming
Karl Kamrath and Joe Bill Bradley of
Austin, Tex, 60, liz, and sweeping
aside Kendall Cram of Nashville, Tenn,
and William Jacobs of Baltimore, Ga,
8-6, to enter the final.
Hunt, who eliminated the third
seeded player, Jack Cosgrove OF San
Francisco, on Wednesday, continued TO
the semi-1inals of the singles yesterday
by overwhelming Ray Palmer of Malba,
Iong Island, 81, Go. Kamrath,
Wilmer Hines of Columbia, s. c.. and
another Californian, James Bobbitt OF
Pasadena, are other semi-finalists.
Opposing Myers and Doeg in the
finals today were Hines and Judge
Beaver of Gainesville, Ca, seeded FIRST,
who whirled through three matches
yesterday with the loss of but nine
games.
Californians also held prominent po-
sitions in the boys play, two Of the
semi inalists in the singles being from
the Coast State. Jay Cohn of Santa
Monica and Jack Lynch of Taft were
the California hopes, while George
Boynton of Atlanta, Ga, and Frank
Parker of Milwaukee, Wis, completed
the list Cohn is defending champion.
Boynton and Parker, teaming in the
boys doubles, had won their way TO
the finals by overwhelming scores, but
Cohn and Lynch were engaged in a
stiff semi-finals battle with Jock Nc
Lean, washington, ID. c., and Henry
Barclay Of Baltimore. After winning
the first set, 6--3, the two Westerners
lost the second, 11--l3, before the
match was halted by darkness last
night.

spirit Of Peake. Time and again in
the Metropolitan tournament the Be-

thesda preliminary he was all but de-
feated. In the opinion of your horse

land.
He applied the works in the deciding
game, starting with ringer. He gained
q 6-point lead in the first two innings,
and at the end of seven had increased
1t to II to 6, doubleheader helping a
lot. In the eighth, however, Kolb.
tossed q double, and the home rooterS
again hoped for victory. But Peake, as
usual, was memorable, and as Kolb
weakened he won point after point, run
ming out in the twenty-eighth inning
with 6 points, that made the score SO
to 81. In the last skirmish Peake threw
IS ringers and Kolb 20.
Out of 166 shoes thrown in the three
games, Peake put 81 on the stake and
Kolb Sc.

Fort eliminated Ralph L. Green, young
champion of Germantown, in the first
round so to 9, and although not in his
best form, made it hot for Kolb, the
latter eking out a 50-47 victory.
The Montgomery event was held in
connection with the annual Modern
Woodmen's picnic, which was attended
by several thousand despite unfavorabls
weather. F. Guy Riordan, Laytonsville
merchant, directed the tournament and
made an all-around excellent job of it.
The courts were in prime shape.
Paul Morrison and Harry F. Saun-
ders refereed and 10y Smith and AL
Skinner were the official scorekeepers.
Kolb qualified in the Laytonsville pre-
liminary, but is a resident of Pooles-
vile. AS Montgomery County runner
up he Is entitled to carry on into the
Southern Maryland finals, and he'll be
there plenty, likely to the annoyance

champion are in dire danger.
Peake's county crown was given
an unexpected wrench yesterday
in the Montgomery County finals
at Laytonsville by an unexpected
challenger.
The Laytonsville champion, Walter
Kolb, unheard of outside his own ba1li-
wick, eliminated Charles A. Fort, last
years Washington champion and IN the
final had Peake on the run apparently
when "Or Lion Heart" put on one OF his
famous Garrison finishes.
Peake won the first game, SO to 43,
lost the second, 81 to SO and took the
third, SO to 81. A crowd that packed
around the court was thrilled to the
marrow by brilliant rallies.
At the start 1t appeared Kolb was
outclassed He had been pitching all

had passed up lunch and was tired and
hungry. Seven of Peake's first IL shoes
innings he had lead of % to 0.

as the champion continued to gain
heavily. The score was Al to IL against
him when Kolb found the range for a
double ringer This gave him heart and
from there on it was battle. He cut
Peake's advantage in a jiffy to five
points-48 to 43.
1t was the tall ex-sheriff's turn to
rally and he did 1t nobly, putting on his
twenty-sixth ringer and scoring close
shoe to clinch the decision. The game
went 80 innings Kolb threw % three
pointers. Peake tossed two double
headers in a row early in the going.
The champion ran up lead in the
second skirmish, but Kolb caught him
at 10 points with double ringer in
the thirteenth frame. In the next 10
innings Peake scored only two points,
while his opponent threw ringer after
ringer to win, so to 81. The game went
only % innings, Kolb scoring "a ringers
