Roohon was at his crafty best in adding the national crown to his 1940 provincial titles of Ontario ‘m1 Quebec while also continuing his mastery over the West Coast soc. He defeated Main in the Que- boo final.

But it was Main who paved the y‘, 101,- thg ail~Oanadian final b0- twem two members of Canada's 1049 Davis cub team by Ousilns W, J. (Bill) Tully of Bronxville.

H. L. Roper of Halifax won the veterans’ singles, defeating Ernie Edwards. Glace Bay, N.S., 8-6, 0-8. 6-2.

Rochon played with the con- fidence of a player who previously has beaten the same opponent but he also showed more fight than usual. almost making it s. three-set victory by pulling up 4-4 in games in the third set after trailing 4-0. He retrieved shots that looked good for sure placements, and scored beautiful passing shots at the net. That was where he won the title.

The match was played before a capacity crowd on the sun-baked clay courts of Halifax! South-End Tennis Club. Once the gallery was reprimanded by the referee for commenting during tho play. This came after s. long rally when Main moved to the net and some one shouted: "Put it. away."

In yesterday's Tully-Main match. the 19-year-old Vancouver star wore down the slender American by u- ternating his ground strokes from corner to corner of the back court. Tully. 23-year-old. captain of Notre Dame's tennis team in 1947, stopped frequently in the late stages of the marathon to have cramps massaged out of his legs.

Rochon reached the final in a less spectacular four-set. mstch. disposing oi James Mackcn of Montreal. 1-0, 8-6. 6-4. 6-0- Mwkefl. playing a steady game snd scoring frequ tly on smashes from the net, had Rochon worried in the first two sets but the match was over long before Tully and Main left the court.

Tbs Curran l Briggs baseball tum won s doublshoadsr playing It home yuwhy. edging m Charlottetown Abogwsm 3 u; 3 in a 12-lnnlng thriller, and best.- irll the R.C.A.F. All-Stars 10 to 7 in tho nightcsp which was call- ed at. 0 o'clock in accordanco with previous agreement.

The construction crsw fought an uphill battle all the way in the first encounter with Gordie Mac- Ksy, Henry Gallant and Hank Lan- dry cast in the hero roles. Gallant. drove two runs across in tho ninth to tis the score, Landry mlds a circus catch oi Ryan's drive to right field in the tenth and Mae Kay tripled in the twelfth to score the win ing run.

Powei 's steady pitching helped a lot, too, but he was pitted against a foeman worthy of his prowess in Charlie Ryan, who pitched u mas- terful game and deserved a bot- ter fate. The C. t B. players didn't look like the same outfit who stumbled their way to defeat in Kenslngton two nights before. They fielded brilliantly behind Powell all afternoon and the three mlscues charged against tliern were on difficult trial.

The visiting Charlottetown team out-generaled the home boys in lhc early innings of the contest. They scored their first run by out- smarting the C. & B. defence and tricked a runner at third to try to score by their catcher throwing to Whitlock at short and getting the C. & B. runner cold on theflc- lay to the plate.

In the first inning Ryan hit to right field and advanced to third when Whitlockh bunt got away from Mulholland in front of the plate. Matheson reached first on a fielder's choice and started for second with Ryan holding third. The C. d‘: B. boys elected to get Matheson on a run-down play but while the ball was shuttled back and forth Ryan crossed the plate before Matheson was run down so the tally counted.

In the third frame Whitlock lined a double lust inside the first sack. Matheson's triple sent him across the plate for the visitors’ second run, The score remained 2 to 0 until the last half of the ninth. With one out Gaudet singled to left centre and Stewart replaced him st first, Coach Hogan deciding that speed on the b es was the important thing just en. Oatway ‘singled to centre and Gallant wrote the first chapter of the Frank Merrlwell finish by driving them both home with a single to left.

The score remained knotted un- til the last half of tha twelfth. Landry got is base hit on a. drive to centre fliild. Mulholland struck out and Pcwell grounded out to first but Gordie MacKay came through with another story book play, smashing out a triple to .vin the ball game.
