tennis championship singles finals
at Rock Greek courts tomorrow,
for it's two Semi-final survivors,
Dooly Mitchell and Bud Markey,
battle each other for that coveted
honor today.
Dooly Mitchell added the wig

toupes gathered in the present
tournament, though Bob's was,
without a doubt, the best looking
and most desirable of the lot.
Dooly had the skinny boys tab

in squashing him, the latter go
ing along in a form of suspended
animation after the first set.
Neither of the boys acted fur.
ious except in occasional flurries.
Both played soft, crafty,
calculating game, though Bob's
calculator must have gone on the
blink during the closing rounds.
Dooly monopolized all those
tricks and mannerisms which
usually characterized the playing
of that Considine fellow. Making

Nevertheless that 'hard-to-
handle" service wasn't Bob's, nor
that forehand. Bob fought back
gamely. He took off his "yeller"
V-neck for the second set, and
proceeded to net ball after ball.
In the third set he rolled up his
right sleeve, and proceeded to
'out'. Anyway, Dooly scored his
first real victory over Considine
in something like three years,

set did the Californian take ad-

endurance galore, George
Jennings, Of Chicago, defend

Drewes, Of st. Louis, four
time former champion, in
straight sets. This is the
record straight win for Jen-
nings over DreWeS. He beat
him in 1923 in straight sets.
It was apparent that Drewes
had shot his bolt when the Smil-
ing Chicagoan took the first set
after it had gone 20 games.
Drewes fought back entirely too
fiercely in the second set. and
the cooler Jennings was placing
superbly for points or forcing
the anxious Mound citizen into
errors. Throughout the whole
match the winner was apparently
the master of the situation.
