way past two opponents into the
third round.
No gentleman of the Irish squad
a chance entry-happened to be the
house guest of Max lBost and look
ing for little activity during his
visit-and a polished player. Canale
established himself as a threat to
the home guards supremacy by
knocking off Alex Keiles and De Witt
Smith in straight sets. His work
added even more lustre to a tourna-
ment that shaped up as one of the
best in recent years.
While the MidweStern nterloper
was getting in his Hicks, Barney
Walsh and Don LeavenS. the two
top-seeded stars. were leading the
favoriteS through early rounds Of
competition as expected, rolling their
heavy artillery into position for the
quarter and semi finals.

youngsters of the rising generation,

father. He was replaced by Dick
Helfrich, who proceeded to eliminate
Larry Phillips in two sets.
Third seeded Davey johnson.

in this tournament, came through

final round will see him battling for
the crown after disposing of Welsh
His work yesterday, plus his luck
IN the draw. largely are responsible
for the feeling. But Welsh demon

hot tennis to put him out.
Lynch, Charming Score.
Hugh Lynch took the measure of
John Curran and f1fth-seeded Char
ley Charming knocked out Elwood
Hoffecker without too much trouble
Charming drew the hot seat when
pairings were pulled. for today he
goes back against Ed Kilgus. Penn's
No. l player. and probably will face
Csnale in the succeeding round if
he survives this test. Canale is down
for match with DOYLE Royal, but
