BOOTH IS VICTOR IN MEN'S TENNIS SINGLES FINALS

Gains Summer School Championship by Defeating Davis in Easy Three-Set Match

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

B. A. Booth is the winner of the Summer School Men's Tennis Tournament by virtue of his victory over D. S. Davis, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1, in the finals. Booth attained the final round with the aid of two defaults, but showed himself eminently qualified to meet Davis by an easy victory over A. Lazar, 6-1, 6-0 in the semifinal round, who was himself one of the favored net men.

Davis found it hard-going from the first. In the quarter-final round he overcame Ellis Jandron, 6-1, 3-6, 7-5, and again dropped a set to F. L. Woodman in annexing his position of runner-up in the semi-final matches, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. This match was characterized by hard-driving play on both sides.

About $4.00 was collected from entry fees which will go towards a prize for the winner. In the preliminary round, A. Lazar defeated D. Stern, A. L. Rottenberg defeated H. Schortland, E. E. Mitchell defeated H. H. Stavsky, B. A. Booth defeated J. E. Stevens, F. L. Woodman defeated J. F. Riesman, W. H. Clark defeated A. D. Baldwin, D. S. Davis defeated F. W. Baldwin, and Ellis Jandron defeated Robert Schafor. In the quarter-finals, Lazar triumphed over Rottenberg, 6-3, 6-2. Booth got a win from Mitchell by default; Woodman downed Clark in a stirring battle, 8-6, 7-5; and David took over Jandron, 6-1, 8-6, 7-5.
