The Capital City Tennis League
tournament is providing much
Unexr ected interest and color,
what with the favorites taking
solid clouts to the button" and
long established "jinXs" succumb-
ing with mechanical regularity.
Today's semi-final clashes at
Henry Park courts finds only
one player who was looked upon
with deep favor at the onset Of
the tournament, Frank Shore,
many times junior District
champion.
Gene Herman, who was seeded
No. 2, was only considered as
rating that high by few, how
ever, his fine victories over
Muscue Garnett and Pat Deck
proved that he has plenty Of
class. Today he faces his
hardest assignment, Shore. Shore
has had a easy road, having
turned back Happy Jacobs,
Georgetown lad, in his hardest
match.
The sensation Of the event
70 Fred Doyle. Doyle, who was
not considered sufficiently
capable to rate seeding, pro-
duced o scintillating brand Of
tennis which swept away Allan
StaubIy, seeded No. 1. He also
handed Clyde Smith a coup
de-grace. Smith is playground
champion and not without
merit among the adults.
Tony Latona, who encounters
Doyle in the other semifinal match
today, has more impressive rec
ord, having accounted for Bill
Seidell and Barney Welsh, both
tough hombres.
Walsh had previously erased
Maurice O'Neill, mighty veteran
of many campaigns, and was con-
sidered a prominent candidate
for finals berth.
Fine doubles tuSsels IRE also on
the card, with the Pat Deck-Bill
Seidell versus Fred Doyie-Muscoe
Garnett clash holding the lime
light.
Seidell and Deck are defend
ing champions, but Garnett and
Doyle are real threats and an
upset would not be too much
off the beaten path.
Two bitterly fought matches
kept the few ardent fans present
on their toes yesterday. They
applauded Herman's courageous
rally which turned almost GER
tain defeat into victory over Pat
Deck. Deck had Hermen, lilo
and 40 love in the deciding set,
but pIucky Gene flashed an in
vincible brand of tennis which
swept him to victory, As. "a,
13-11.
Latona had no easy time con-
vincing Welsh that for the after
noon he was the better player.
He won, 6-8, 1O-8, Ga. Sum-
