finals. on the Rock, Greek Courts,
at 1880 p. m.
Bob Considine and Dooly
Mitchell, the two D. C. men, will
stage the umpteenth revival Of
their famous sock-and-smash act
which has been so popular on
LEGAL courts for these many years,
and is always a crowd pleaser.
AS always, these two are at their
best when battling each other.
Both determine to win at any
cost. Bob has, in the last two
years, held the "injun criss-cross''
on the curly-locked G.. u. lad.
A., Dooly has only been able to
beat Bob by proxy this season,
Stalking the measure of young
Eddie Yoeman'S the dark-haired
boy who handed the lanky ace
the only Soporific sock he has
experienced in local tournaments
this annum dominum, but that
was very recent and in. the local
public parks tournament, which
nay mean something.
Bob has added the West
ern Maryland bauble to his
collection of odds and ends
since then, though the field
g--, through which he had to
wade was far below snuff"
Still q championship Is
championship, and no one
can overlook the well-knOWn
moral effect.
So today's song and dance
twithout music between these
two should be a hurndinger, a
pippin, a WOW and a whizbang,
with the odds slightly, oh! SO
very slightly in favor of Bob,

In the meantime another bit
ter fued will come to reckoning,
when Chicago and st. Louis face
across the barrier in the persons
of George j.. Jennings, jr., servor
of bullets. % years old, and de-
Tending public parks champion,
and Theodore "Ted" Drewes, willy
S4-year-old veteran and former
four-time champion.
The rivalry between these two
is of long standing, and Is
stronger than suspected. Today's
affray will be a rubber match, for
each holds a decision over the
other. Drewes toppled the Chi
cagoan in the 1927 finals, but
Jennings came back to give the
ST. Louis star a sound drubbing
in the 1923 Semifinals, wining in
straight sets, 6-3, Ga, 60.
Jennings game has since i'm
proved considerably. His net play
has gained in steadiness, and his
scroching service and crashing
volleying and smashing nave
gained in accuracy.
Outside of retaining his
public parks championship,
Drewes has participated but
sparsely in net tournaments,
and has apparently gone
hack. losing in speed, If not
in accuracy and strickery.
The Chicago contigent are sure
Jennings will win. but the fact
that it is a blood battle, and q
real blood battle, makes neutral
fans unwilling to concede any
thing. DreWeS, like T1lden, is an
cid war-horse. and is likely 10
flash superlative tennis on tnlS
occasion. .,u

who plays an everlasting strok1ng
game, depending on stamina to
win, Mrs. Martinez can put CON
siderable sting behind the ball on
