FINCHER'S BRILLIANT TENNIS: GOLDMAN SPASMODIC

(By "Veritas").

It is difficult to estimate how near the Rumjahns went to defeat in the final of the open doubles tennis championship yesterday, because, paradoxically enough, they eventually won fairly comfortably in four sets by the scores of 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.. In any case the challengers' game was so full of “Ifs" and "Buts" (alter- natively disappointments and brilliance) that it only remains to be said that the Rumjahns were worthy winners—incidentally for the tonth. year in succession.

When Fincher and Goldman volleying duels lost the second set, they also trumpa most times.

Personally I have no doubts that if (this is where the "Ifs" begin) Fincher andGoldman had not conceded the fourth game in the second set on service, and again the eighth game for n 5-3 lead, they would have beaten the cousins,
