Indoor Tennis

The National Indoor Tennis Championship is sometimes played in Manhattan during the first two weeks in February. This year it was postponed to accommodate the invading French leader. Jean Borotra, who last week won first the doubles championship with his young left-handed partner. Christian Boussus, and next day the singles championship, beating Berkeley Bell, 6--1, 3--6, 6--4, 3--6, 6--4 in the final.

Dapper, gay, demonstrative Jean Borotra has made himself a millionaire in the gasoline pump business while performing in Davis Cup matches and international tournaments since 1923. Last week he dictated a letter to his secretary while riding in a taxicab to play his final match.
