RUBINIEX

Last evening wound up the Knights of Columbus Tennis Tourn- ament which has been holding the spot light at the Recreation Centre for the past three weeks.

Forty-eight players took part in the singles, doubles and mixed d011- bles and every contestant co-oper- ated to the best of their ability in making the tournament interesting and successful.

Much improvement over last year was shown by l taking part and every game was productive of the kcencst competition.

The dope was upset on several occasions and new faces were t0 the front. To Messrs Walter Cullen and Elmer Blanchard much credit due for the ca able manner in which they con ucted the tourn- ament.

In the ladies singles, Miss Joyce Cantwell was the first to be crown- ed a new cham ion when she de- feated Miss Ion se Blanchard, last year's champion, 7-5, 6-4. Miss Blanchard only gave way after a hard fought battle in the first set.

Mr. Jack Hennessey, stepping into the lime light by defeating Mr. Mike Hennessey, 6-1, 6-2, once more a new champion was crowned. Mr. Walter Cullen was the winner in 1942. But let it be said the loser went down fighting all the

WRY.

The ladies doubles went to the Misses Winnifrcd Doyle and Maureen Brown, who fought hard to win through. Both young ladies give promise of better things next time.

The men's doubles were hard fought all the way and it was only after a bitter struggle that Jack Heniiesscy and Cyril Callaelian emerged victorious over Jack Con- nolly and Earl Nicholson, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6. 6 4. 6-3

Another battle royal was in the mixed doubles and after the hard- est _f_ought games of the toumament Miss Joyce Cantwcli and Somerled Trainor finally won out 6-8,7-5.7-5, 8-6. It was not until the flnalloint was‘ gained that victory was cer-

The Provincial Qucit Tournament will be played this afternoon start- ing nt 2 p.m.

Last year's winners, Messrs Mc- Farlnnc and Mclnnis will be de- fending their title and according to the dopesters have a slight edge tn repeat.

MacPherson and Robin winners of the previous year are out gun- ning for a chanw to get in the running again.

Last night eight teams had signified their intention of enter- ing the competition and as his number includes the top notchers some exciting games are expected.

NEW EFFORT

(Continued from page i.)

The Germans apparently first had bombed the capital, which |Marshal Pietro Badoglio recently declared. an open city. during the night. A Home broadcast said planes caused damage and casual- ties in the San Lorenzo area-the same sector which the Allies pre. viously had attacked. (The BBC said Rome had called the planes German.)

The Germans under Field Mar- shal Gen. Albert Kesselring. com- ma ’ of "southern Italy" also have " pi ' of Vati- can City." said the Berlin broad- cast. recorded by the Associated

Berlin acknowledged that some Italian units "went over to the American troops which landed in the Gulf of Salerno, and particl- pated in the f‘ ' against Ger- man formations" based in the Naples area 118 miles below Rome.

remaining games in St. Louis. I Sam Brendon, owner of the Cardinals, opposes the idea. argues that in the event of a four game series. he would get only one contest in St. Louis. Barrow coun- tered with a proposal to play the three opening games in 8t. Iouis to avoid the necessity of making a second rail trip after the fifth game. - Barrows suggestion may devel- op objections. The St. Louis Park seats only 34.500 compared to the Yankee Stadiumb 75.000. This would result in s. big decrease in the player's pool. The question oi starting the ser- ies a day earlier than planned also will be considered. Before today's games, the Card- ; inals needed only nine more vic- tories to clinch the National Lea- gue pennant. with the Yankees needing 15 to sew up the American League flag. i 1
