E. M. (Ned) Garnett is singles champion of Salt Lake City, while Earl Pierre and Cyril Gallacher are the holders of the doubles title. This trio was victorious yesterday In the finals of the city tennis tourney on the courts of the Deseret gymnasium. Dave Barrett fell before the 'onslaught of Garnett In three straight sets, while Cy Gallacher and Pierce defeated Bob Officer and Melvin Gallacher, 3, a, t i 6-- 3. The veteran Garnett had cJenty of competition In Barrett, especially in the last set, but Garnett was there in the pinches and always held a. lead which assured him the victory soon after the battle had got under way. Garnetts assortment of speedy serves, balls proved drives, cuts and a little too much for Barrett to handle. Barreft was completely baffled In first set nd when Garnett came through with a number of telling strokes to Barretts backhand and feet, Barrett succumbed without a game. Barrett gamely drove back, but Garnett was clearly the master and had a large margin,;... Barrett came back strong In the second set and managed to run up points In nearly every game, but Garnett again was there when points meant games. Barrett got some of his drives well placed for points, but being on the defensive he was unable to handle his placements as be has done in the past. It was In the third sot that Barrett seemed to sense the situation. He battled evenly with Garnett, seeming to gain strength and skill at every stroke. Garnett rallied and Barrett had to be content with three games. Barrett played good hall In this set, his placements being very steady. Garnett showed all of the skill that has given him the throne In the tennis realm of the Rocky mountain states. He sensed the direction In which Barrett would drive and almost always was In reach of the sphere aa it came soaring over the net. Many were surprised at the ease with which Pierce and Cy Gallacher came through wlth the vlctory over the other member of the Gallacher household, and Bob Officer.
