Venzke, breaking from the outside

climax in the twenty seventh
annual Women'S indoor tennis
championships which were con-
cluded on the courts of the 7th

Miss Taubele, who won the women's
doubles title yesterday with Jane Sharp
of Pasadena, captured the singles and
mixed doubles today to become the
first person in the history Of the
tournament to win all three cham
pionships.
She won the singles crown by de
feating 17-year- Helen Pedersen of
Stamford, Conn, in straight sets, Ga,

Bowden, former Columbia University
tennis captain, to defeat Berkley Bell
and Florence Leboutillier for the mixed
doubles crown, 60, 4-6, 60.
NTISS TAUBELE, who holds a
lVI ranking of fourth in the East
and twelfth in the Nation, was
seeded second in the singles draw and
her performances gratified the favorite
pickers. She played five matches and
lost only one set, yielding that to Miss
Sharp, the lone Pacific Coast entry,
who was seeded No. in their semi
final match. The score was 3-6,
e4, IS.
Miss Taubele succeeds Dorrance
Chase Of Boston, 1888 champion, who
did not play this year, and is the first
native New Yorker to win the title

~ ISTINCTLY showing signs OF
wear and tear from previous
grueling struggles, including
his conquest OF Atcheson, Nelson, "Y"
champ in 1926 and A. A U king in
1927, was easy for Endezvick in the
first game. His famed hop" ball, re-
puted to be the most puzzling in the
country, failed to fool the little
Ohioan, who caromed fine shots to
all corners of the court to win by 8
points.
Nelson pulled himself together in
the second game. took SO lead, and
although Endezvick moved up to
1911, triumphed without once re-
linquishing the lead. The decisive
point was an ace" a swiftly -batted
serve which caromed of all four walls
untouched.
The capacity crowd, which paid 81
per capita, was tense with interest
as the final game got under way.
Throughout it was brilliant exhi-
bition, featured by long rallies, and
what the dyed-in-the-wo hand ball
veterans tabled brilliant gets"
Endezvick was away winging this
time, ssnnexing five straight points.
Nelson then sent the gallery into an
uproar by repeating the feat, tying
the score at sail. In winning those
five points his hop" ball broke per-
fectly for the first time. Three "aces"
were credited to the stocky veteran.
Thereafter 1t was a ding dong
scrap. Endezvick was by far the bet
ter player at retrieving caroming balls
of the back court and in covering the
20 by 40 foot court, but Nelson's S
devastating serve, likened to the bill
lard play of Hoppe or Cochran
and tennis drives of a Vines, was an
ever-present source of danger to
