double fault, a lucky shot and two drives by Brown gave him the game, 6-5. Only one game to set! Brown served carefully-too carefully, in fact, for in his effort not to serve too hard he put both balls in the net. Bob won the next point by a hard drive. Brown seemed angry at the turn things were taking and gathering all his energies sent down a service so hard that it was impossible to return it. Another one followed, and another, 40-30. Only one point needed to win! Brown served the first ball. hard but Bob quietly slipped it back and took the back of the court. Brown stepped forward, swung his racket and shot the ball to Bobfs right. He jumped to meet it and sent it back-a. low bouncing ball to the back- hand! Brown scooped weakly at it but failed to get it back across the net. Deuce! Rattled over losing such a. crucial point, Brown served a double fault and then missed Bob's return of his next serve, 6-6. Bob drew a sigh of relief. He hesi- tated a minute before serving, then said softly to himself, f'Well, Brown, old boy, itfs a low bouncing ball to the backliandf' He served, and partly due to the strength of his service, partly to Brownfs collapse after the strain, won his serve to love. With the realization of the fact that to lose this game meant to lose the match, Brown seemed to recover himself and began to play his hardest. The irst serve was so swift that,Bob could but tip it as it flew by. A second was returned only to be smashed, The third point Bob won, and the fourth, by artfully placed shots across court. At 30-all, Brown served a double fault and Boba needed but one point to win. The ball flashed across the net and Bob slipped it back-a low bouncing ball to the backhand. As Brown stepped in to meet it, Bob rushed right into the net. Brown scooped the ball up weakly. The ball floated lazily up, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and the crowd held its breath as it fell. The falling ball, the ,flash of a racket-and Bob J ones, of Adair, was the Champion of Survey. ' J. P. CORRY.
