to this day the last in our home
I had give way to my feelings.
and I could not ' . bear that ' he
should see my emotion.
I was dabbing at my eyes fur

Dicky ; sprang into the car. and,
leaning past me, turned off my

"You'll ruin your engine If you

straight sets, and only two sets
going beyond the minimum of
six to : win. One of these . was a
double , match, and j the other the

Emmel trimmed Roberts of-Pa-
1ic, i a flashy, athletic-looking
player, 6-0,, 6-0. Emmel began1

long tennis heritage, back of .him,

a speed that mark him wellup
into the championship class. .If

uses the high lob extensively, and

game, the scoring did - not pro
