Oh, Those Long Points

TT very much enjoyed today's play at Kinsley. He was paired with "Big Al" in doubles against George Hauss and Bob Kluge. TT was satisfied with his efforts but could have been happier with different results, dropping both sets at 1 and 3. Bob continues to play well accepting the "middle age" man limitations to his game that he now imposes more freely on himself. George played his usual consistent game and he and Bob regularly won both the "long'" points and "long" games attesting to their superior physical stamina. George handled a totally exhausted TT (6-1) in singles to conclude the mornings play. Jack Carey and Brother Antonio Quinn, a friend of "Big AL" from South Carolina, also managed to play a creditable set of doubles against George and Bob who were the big winners on this gray, humid day.
