was so upset in the second set she
double faulted on the first match
point opportunity Miss Connolly
had.
Sedgman, just now rounding
into top form on grass courts
after several months OF so-so per-
formances on clay courts, was in
complete control of his match.
He did lose one set, but he was
not overexerting himself at any
time and it was clearly evident
he could win the match as he
wished.
Net Play Is Factor.
The one-sided nature of Miss
Connolly'S victory rubS some of
the gloss off the Wightman Cup
matches next week. The British
girls were not expected to seri-
ously challenge the American
team. and, with the rout of their
expected No. / player. the matches
appear more one-sided than usual.
Miss Connolly was little un-
certain with her service in the
first set of the doubles, while Miss
Fry. still favoring her recently
injured shoulder, seemed the
weakest of the four players.
Miss Brough's spin services into
"a strong wind played a big part
in the decision. She and Maureen
came to the net often and picked
up a number of points with their
smaShes.
Miss Hart held up her end with
fine placing and clever lobs but
in the end she was overpowered.

Women's S Final Today
By Cospor Names

Youth was temporarily halted
in its march to top Washington
honorS yesterday, but it took one
of Americas finest players to do
the trick.
Fred Kovaleski, formerly of De-
troit and now of Washington, yes
terday showed 19-year-old Tim
Coss there was still a lot to be
learned about the game before
major titles can be won. The 28-
year-old Kovaleski, ranked 18th
nationally in 1949, won the City
of Washington championship on
the Kenwood Country Club courts
from Coss, the No. Junior player
here, 6-1, 6-1, Ga.
Today at 2 pm, 17-year-old
Belmar Gunderson of Falls
Church, Va, will meet Mrs. Jerry
Waterman, erstwhile Californian
now living here, in the women's
singles final match. The women's
doubles final at 10 am. has Clara
Biar and Mrs. Mary Belino against
Mrs. Mildred Smith and Mrs.
Helen Levy.
Kovaleski simply knew too
much tennis and had too much
experience for his Swarthmore
College opponent to cope with.
But the District youth played
creditable tennis against the form
er public parks champion who has
beaten many Of the worlds top
players.
Kovaleski Takes Command.
Cross started well by winning
the first game through steady
play. But Kovaleski was not to
be lured into the trap of trading
backcount drives with his youth
full opponent.
Hitting hard and taking the
net regularly behind an over
spinning backhand drive. Kova-
lseki ran through the next II
games to take the first set 6-1,
and to steup a SO lead in the
second chapter.
Tim tried to keep the tall
Michigan player away from the
barrier by lobbing, but KovaleSkiS
overhead was too strong for those
tactics to succeed. The latter
smashed repeatedly for aces on
these lobs.
Good passing shots and an
error by Kovaleski put the next
game in Coss' column. He fought
hard for the following one, pull {
ing the score back to deuce three ,
times before Fred clinched the =.
game and set with a decisive vol
ley. q
Wins Five in Row.
In the third chapter, Kovaleski
let down somewhat on his con-
centration, and Coss by fine, con-
siStent play ran into a Al lead.
1t appeared as though the Wash
ingtOn youth might salvage a set, It
but Fred had other ideas. Speed t
ing up his shots noticeably, cut +
ting down sharply on his errors
and seeking the net at every op- f
portunity for point winning vol t
leys, Kovaleski ran five games in
a row for the set, Ga. r
Although decisively defeated, Z
CosS has every reason to feel salts
fed with his performance. In
facing Kovaleski, he was meeting
an opponent whose all-around l.
equipment is top fight. The {
Washington player showed i'm j
provement over his play Of year a

this year should ad- v
vance even further in his quest
