Comes With Rush

In the opening game Parrett did the serving, and it wasn’t much better than you get in a counter and stool restaurant. Von Spreckelsen lost the first two points on netted shots, but scored a couple | of placements and then after the game had been deuced five times he } finally tucked it under his wing, as| they sav in Mayfair. | With a rush Von Spreckelsen went | on to run up his edge to 4-0, be-| fore Parrett finally held his own] service.

the set 6-2. But Parrett, who was batting so, many of his shots to an imaginary base line about a foot back of where, the real one was located, got his serve to working in the second, and § when he has this controlled he is a ¥ formidable rival because the ball has a tendency to kick to the receivers! backhand.

Not counting the wesk start in the first game and a few lapses after he knew the house already had burnt down in the third and final set, Parrett showed the best serving form, In the second set he rushed away to a 2-1 lead, but this merely served as a signa! for Von Spreckelsen to shake off his ennui or misery, or whatever it was that was slowing him up. Von Spreckelsen tock his own serve in the fourth game to even things at 2-all, but Parrett, when his time came to pitch, put over two serving aces in a row to take the next game at love. The boys were scoring in spurts now. Von Spreckelsen, playing a fine! net game, ran the count to 5-3 in| his own favor only to see Parrett even things at 5-all. This was the high point, the Gettysburg of Par-' rett’s attack. and the rest of the match was as one-sided as a discussion with Hitler.

Comedy Is Included

Von Spreckelsen took the second | set from his former teammate, 7-5, and after dropping two of the first four games of the third set ran the!

There was a note of comedy during one lengthy rally in the last] set. Parrett, in running hard to his|

‘right, barely got his racquet on the]

ball and sent up a high, blooper shot | that hit on Von Spreckelsen's side; just across the net and then!

bounced back into Parrett’s court.!

Von Spreckelsen had come charg-

ling Tor yard with his racquet exi

| tended like a man about to spear a

| fish, but even by leaning over the; inet he couldn't reach the ball, ! There probably is some Section 77) B, Statute 193-C on this in tennis] rules, but if there is, no one seemed | to know exactly what it was and} they played the point over without: counting it. The match was so far! along then that this incident didn't have anv influence on the final re-! sult. i Miss McCreary Wins

Biggest surprise of the day came in a second round match in the, women's singles when Miss Louanna | McCreary, who was unseeded, came

from behind to defeat Miss Mary] \

Grace Lauck, ranked third, 1-6, 6-4, 7-5. Miss Lauck mashied a few] costly points into the net in the] i deciding set. Paul Crabb staged a comeback to} defeat Dick Fairbanks Jr. in a sec-| { ‘6-1, 6-3, and Bob Neidhamer fol-! lowed the same hard road in down-| ing Clair Hilliker, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in &| third-round engagement.
