Commercial Appeal competition last night with a straight seta victory over John Kraft and Edgar Griffith 6-1 6-1 l-t Hughes and Metz are seedd first and the losers were third Ileridea Doubles Titale The doubles championship will be derided immediately at the conclusion of the singles Hughes and Metz will have aa their foes Luke Riondi and Tommy Bronson ranked fnurth a team which surprised even their closest followers when they eliminated Faquin and Wllford Gragg Tuesday -night Much Interest is centered on the doubles as well as the singles Knocked out of the running in the ingles Metz is over-anxious to alvage at least part of the honors and he has hia eyes on the tandem play While Hughes is the favorite for his second title in a row Faquin is definitely in the running Ha has been moving toward the top for some time and his game seems to improve with every performance The excellent court coverage of Hughes a giant netman with power in either forehand or backhand gives him an edge on Faquin And his long tournament experience adds considerable to his chances for victory In the semis Hughes had very tie trouble in checking the comeback march of Jimmy Elmore who von the city title five straight years in his hey-dey 6-1 6-0 6-1 This Faquin kid has all the marks of becoming one of the greatest net artists in history here Still in his teens the carrot-topped lad plays like a veteran and he seems to learn new tricks quickly Memphis Park Commission staff will he on hand to assist Director Chauncey Barbour In handling the crowd During the Intermission between the singles and

BERLIN July 29 Sorry as I am over the elimination of two more Olympic athletes through summary dismissal of Joe Church and Howell King I can only feel this serves a definite purpose in showing the character of the auspices under which our team is being mismanaged My suggestion Is to send home more officials and fewer athletes and we'U get along much better Every squad here no matter how mall is overstaffed with officials many of whom are making this trip just for a joyride I could name soma major coaches who spent whole nights aboard the Manhattan drinking with ordinary passengera in their staterooms on the way across I rods down the Unter Den Linden last Sunday and saw officials sipping drinks at sidewalk cafes Did they know where their athletes were and what they were doing?
