more's city champion, Nate Askin, in
the finals of the twentieth annual ten
mis- tournament for championship of
Western Maryland in mems singles on
Sunday, and will be the 10th to have
his name engraved on the challenge

Park courts, forbid Sunday play,
Finals in mixed doubles, played late
on Saturday evening, resulted in a
win for Joe Kristofek and Imogene

is city champion Of McKeesport, Pa,
and captain of the University Of Pitts
burgh net team. He entered the tour
nament too late to compete in the

of the best in several years with rs
entries. There were many new en-
tries, over half of the entire list being
from Baltimore. Several of those who
had graduated" from the Junior ten
mis- tournament, also entered the senior
