MILES OUTCLASSED
BY YOUNG GOULD

LONDON. May 16-Sizing up today's
amateur court tennis match at Queen
Club between young Jay Gould and Eus-
tace II Miles. tennis experts are agreed
tonight that the former could have won
every set had ne chosen.
It would have been a risk, however.
to have attempted third set of as
smashing play as the first and second
without a rest, and the American let
his British opponent win a set while
he took things easily.
The spectators did rot manifest
much enthusiasm, but their Indifference
was due rather TO the tacit admission
that the match was too one-sided To be
interesting than to national prejudice
or unfTiendliness to Gould.
For the high type OF the young Amer
leans spOrtmdnship as well as for the
brilliancy of his playing there is moth
ing but the waTme.-t OF commentator.
II is everywhere conceded that Gould
has improved vastly IN the past year
while Miles was below par. The score
was: 60. Go. IL and I'll
Gould won the English-practically the
world championship from Miles last
spring Miles went to America for q re
turn match q few weeks ago and lost
again. Then Gould came here and now
he Is victorious for a third time They
may meet a fourth time at the Olympic

cessfully distanced all competitors, and
then went after a school record, which
he hnally succeeded in raising. Charles
Orme easily took the shot put, throw
