The team has been looking

two weeks. They deserve it in
all respect for they have come
long way since September.
From what reports have come
from Panama, Cristebal has been
undefeated this season and they

This Watson NJ cAnister-Varela-

of a battle royal. The former are
the second seeded favorites while
the latter are the number three

have played the better tennis in
their advance to the 'semi's. p"
After they disposed of the fine
combination of Fineberg and Round

Sunday, many fans who saw the

true that Peter and the Coach have

arises; will they be able to scale
them again tonight?

strategy. Edgar volleyed from a
deep middle court position with

cash registers of the Nations re-
tailers are ringing up Easter
sales at a merry clip.
The consensus is that sales ir
dollars and cents are running
about 20 per cent ahead of last
year, but that the storekeeper is
not selling any more items than
he did year ago.
The difference could be because
of an 8-to-14 per cent increase
in prices between last Easter and
this.
Dun and Bradstreet, the busi-
ness reporting service, puts it this
way:
The overall week. before Easter

that for the comparable 1949
