TUXEDO. March 2S.-There was a notable
match at tennis to-day In the final for the gold
racquet Of the Eastern States at the Tuxedo
Tennis and Racquet Club. The players were
two striplinRs OF rising fame at the old court
game-Jay Gould OF Georgian Court, Lake
wood, who Is only II years old, and Pierre
Lorillard, Jr., OF Tuxedo. The latter Ia more
welded to r~acquets than the classic game,
yet Lorlllard played very neat tennis. and In
winning from him In straight sets, 60. ca,
81, young Gould at once became an equal
~favorite with Charles E. Sands for the ma
tlonal championship at tennis. to begin on
April 3 at the New York Racquet and Tennis
Club.

will then win ont began before the ball was
at rest after the gold racquet final. The ANA
tours were soon divided into two camps. AS

his home trained youth. but Moore, the Tux
edo pro. stood out for Sands. The latter won
out the Tuxedo golf racquet at tennis last
year by three successive wins, young Goulds
! win being the first on a similar trophy given
by T. Suffern Taller. That Sands did not
appear to defend his title was said by some
