AIRS. Bakers upset victory, COM
Ing by the scores of Ga. 60, was
40 f1uke. From the start she gave
-yidence that she was not in a
trif1ing mood, for she ran up a SO
lead on Mrs. Miller before the Dis
trict's seventh-ranking net-woman
knew what it was all about. And
although she relaxed slightly to
drop four of the next five games.
Mrs. Baker recovered brilliantly to
take the second set without trouble.
Aside from that, results ran true
to form with the defending mems
champion. Ray Stocklinski. winning
two matches and the fair title
holder, Willie O'Steen, advancing 10
the quarter final round by means of
smashing victory over Evelyn
Hart.

Burke, was forced to play two
matches as 26 men reached the
third round and six of the 16 women

Tolman, jr, 60. 6-3, and c. j.

drop a set, being forced to come
from behind to vanquish John
Hutchinson, As, 6-4. 6-l. Allie

on Martin Young, jr.. 6-3. 60:
Hugh Shelton, the losing finalist
