C. Closed Tennis tournament at Greensboro. Reaching the finals in the wo men’s singles Wednesday, Miss Brown, seeded No. 2, lost 6-4, 6-3 to unseeded Mrs. Lyall Clapp of Siler City when rain sent them to enclosed ' asphalt courts. The Brown-Davis combination, how ever, won a marathon doubles match from Mrs. Clapp and Mary Johnson of Wilmington (6-1, 8-10, 7-5) to reach the women’s doubles finals, where they were slated to meet Anne Martindale and Edna Talton of Greensboro. It looked as though it would be a stiff contesit for the crown. Louise Milliken, of Southern Pines, did not enter the tourna ment as planned. Eastern Carolina Finals Miss Brown, playing consistent ly fine tennis as always at the state championship, was in the odd position of being also in the mid dle of the Eastern Carolina tour nament, whose finals were rain- checked from^ast Sunday to this (September 4).

The local foursome were pitted against each other in the men’s doubles. They Just Didn't Know None of the local players was seeded—a circumstance hard for their fans here to understand, in view of Miss Brown’s position as women’s doubles champ, the pos session of the Moore County dou bles title by Brown and Monte- santi (with Harry Lee holding the singles title) and the excellent po sitions held by the others, all fi nalists or semi-finalists in the county tournament. Continued reference in the news stories to Miss Brown as “a newcomer” con firmed the feeling here that those in charge of the tournament were not too well informed. After seeing them play, it is understood, a tournament official spoke to them apologetically. “If we had known a little more than we did, we’d have paired you dif ferently,” he confessed.
