"It was our first championship, but I don't think it will be our last," said Millburn coach Ed Tyrone. Zenia, you see, still has a year to play at Millburn — "She will be the best in New Jersey next year," Tyrone predicts — while Luba has three years more. Then, by the end of next year, there'll be Olenka, 12, already good enough to give her older sisters competition. Not too far behind is the No. 6 singles of the Matkiwsky clan, Eric, 9, described by Tyrone as "absolutely ^mazing. The way he plays, you'd think he's a teenager." A tennis buff himself, of course — he took up the game 12 years ago as a way of relaxing after performing delicate operations — Dr. Matkiwsky did not force the game on the children.

However І when I made the application for the loan, the bank charged me a fee of SI 50.1 am wondering if this is deductible on my fed­ eral income tax return ? A - Credit investigation fees or loan fees such as this are not deductible. However, interest you pay on your mortgage will be deductible if you itemize, as will your property taxes. Q - I understand that if I sell my house, I do not have to report and pay tax on the gain if I buy another house of greater price within 18 months. How will the IRS know I've realized this gain? A - You will tell them, that's how. Even though you can postpone a gain if you reinvest in a new home within 18 months, the law requires that you report the gain in the year it is realized by attaching a Form 2119 to your return. Otherwise, the IRS may well question your change of address, or any other claim on the re­ turn relating to real estate which indicates such a sale.
