It was expected that Pell would win the match
but it was supposed that he might get It much
more easily than he did. Shafer showed great
deterzasuation and some skill in this his first
important match, and especially at the net was
he able TO cope with Pen. 1t was on the low
strokes TO the backhand that Shafer was weak.
and Peu played him there with some profit Shafer
was very good overhead and at half volleyfng, and
gave his man all that he wanted.
1t looked as If 1t would be very easy for Pell
in the first set, because he won his opening game
on service al love- and then took the second by
a like score on Shafer's delivery. Shafer then won
a stubborn deuce game, and followed Il with two
others going into the lead at 81 Pen broke
through Shafer's service and won the sixth and
