GOULD ElATED
OVER TENNIS VICTORY

LONDON. May 6.-Eustace H. Miles. who
lost the court tennis championship to Jay
Gould Saturday, practically attributes his
defeat to having to wait while Mr. Gould
was suffering from a cramp in the wrist
In a signed article in the Daily Graphic
this morning Mr. Miles says:
1T was the closest match but one I ever
played. Gould deserved to win. and I never
felt less regret at being beaten
With reference to getting out Of his swing
and cold while his opponents arm was be-
ing massaged he says:
1T is one of my weaknesses that when
l have stopped and grown cold can hard.
ly ever regain my form. 1 made every
effort, but had lost my swing"
Miles admits one grievous weakness-that
he starts slow: he can last we'll. but cannot
begin well. He says he was fit for another
set or two when Gould was done for He
thinks Gould's only danger is in overtaxing
his strength by such feats of endurance,
but says Gould is a master of nearly the
whole mechanism Of tennis. 1T is true his
back-hand stroke Is still rather insecure
and his tendency Is to hit an easy service
into the net, but these are trivial faults
for ono of his years"
THE first thing l did after leaving the
Queens Club Saturday was to send telt-
gram 10 my IatneT telilnS MIN OF my VIC
tory. said Jay Gould last evening He
added: Il got an answer back heartily con-
graduating me in a surprisingly short
time"
Mr.. Gould could not conceal his delight in
triumphing over Mr.. Miles, his old oppo-
nent. He said:
II had more satisfaction In beating Miles
than could have got by beating any other
player. At the same time could not have
had a fairer opponent than Miles. 1 have
finished play in England this year. having
won five games and lost none"
The young champion celebrated his VIC
tory by entertaining his friends at dinner
and by giving q theater party. Among the
young people with whom he Is associated
the victory is very popular. Hundreds of
kilograms reached him last
evening.
