That's the way an observer to-
day might describe matters as
they reached climax yesterday,
at Edgemoor, in the Middle Allan
tic tennis singles championship
tournament, with Dooly Mitchell,
recent winner Of the Times-HearSt
Grand National singles, doing bat
tie with Charles Heacock, former
Missouri Valley singles champion.
On Tuesday, Mitchell had taken
the lead over his foUrth-round
opponent. Dooly won the first
set at 6-3. Yesterday, they re-
sumed where they had left off on
Tuesday.
Mitchell came onto the courts
attired in a sweat-Shirt. Now a
sweat shirt has as many uses in
tennis as it has in any other sport.
The veteran player, such as Dooly
Mitchell, uses it to warm him,
make him perspire. Once there
is free flow of perspiration, the
muscles become looSened and the
athlete is able to move more freely.
Under Wraps
After the customary 10-minute
warmup period, and as they
started play in the second set of
their match, it was noted that
Mitchell did not remove his sweat
shirt. This meant that the vet
eran wanted to play under

Well, Dooly played under

appeared, Mitchell was under no
disadvantage. At the end of the
ninth game, there was Dolly in

he would take the set and the

made public announcement this
morning that he had at once
wiped out an old dynasty in world
boxing and established a new.
Briefly, he announced that, after
a conference with Col. John r.

boxing privileges at Madison

years, beginning in October. and
at the Gardens outdoor bowl on
Long Island for the seasons of
1888 and 1899.

He meant that the Garden, by
agreement, couldn't and wouldn't
produce its own boxing shows in
competition with himself.

He further meant that the Gar

since that long-ago day when Tex
Rickard came out Of the West to
make the Garden the fount Of all
boxing interest and the focus Of
its affairs.

none to mourn over the remains.

"T'm committed to the ball

And what does Colonel Fitz-

he was saying through his tele-
phone operator that he was out
