Oswald Defeats
Newkirk In Net
Finals at Union
Spokane Player Wins
Men's Singles and Shares
in two Other Champion
ships Sunday.
Worth Oswald, of Spokane, again
"King Tennis" of Eastern Oregon
after winning in the three events in
which he was entered men's singles,
men's doubles with Jim Wltherall, of
Pendleton, and the mixed doubles
with Miss Josephine Bliss, of Union
In the Eastern Oregon tournament
which closed yesterday afternoon on
the Union tennis courts with a large
number of fans witnessing the
matches. Oswald won in these same
events last year, only with Miss Jane
Smith, of Union, as a partner In the
mixed doubles.
This tournament is gradually being
recognized as one of Importance by
the better players of the Northwest
and each succeeding year draws
stronger players. There Is some dis
cussion among the players of making
application to join the National Ten
nis association, which would make
this event of even greater importance
and would attract a greater number
of good players.
Defeats Washington Star
The best tennis ever played at an
Eastern Oregon Tennis tournament
was exhibited when Oswald defended
his championship against Billy New
kirk, of Seattle, defeating him 6-1,
0-4.. Both these men are ranking
players In the northwest, and are
first in their colleges, Oswald from
Whitman and Newkirk from the
University of Washington.
The match was a spectacular one,
Oswald towering almost two feet
over Newkirk, who is a tiny fellow
but surprising in the strength of his
drives. Oswald played consistently
with strong back hand strokes and
steady service, difficult to return.
