The Port Washington meet: a doubles loss

texture · 6 Nov YDAU

• When: 6 Nov YDAU, the annual E.T.A.–Port Washington Tennis Academy meet (Long Island)
• What: Stice plays in the mammoth E.T.A.–P.W.T.A. meet; the novel attests only that his doubles went badly — on the bus home deLint has been "ragging Stice's and Kornspan's asses since their doubles, which it looked like they practically gave away." His singles standing (16's A-1, top-64 continentally) is intact; the loss is texture on his uneven early-November form. [Attribution note: Stice is present in scene 065 only as a named competitor in the meet's field; the substantive datum is the scene-067 bus recap.]
