Beats Hall for Clay Court H0nors
HAYES and Anderson Win.

Omaha. Aug. 1.-TWO new national ten
mis- championships were established to-day.
when Melville H. Long, of San Francisco,
took the clay court championship in singles
and ". T. Hayes, of Chicago, and F. G.
Anderson. of Reading, Penn, were success
full in doubles. The success OF the clay
court event was established to the satisfac-
ton of the two hundred players from all
over the country who were guests of the
Omaha Field Club during the tournament.
Interest centred in the singles champion
ship. but the contest for the doubles match
proved the more interesting because Long
had almost a waIkover In the singles
against Walter Merrill Hall the New York
player. The doubles went five sets, and
the result was uncertain until the last game
was played.
The championship match in singles was
not q battle but a rout. During the entire
match Hall was able TO take only two games
and was outcIassed throughout The scores
were SO, 6-1. 81.
The pace set by Long in the singles, how
ever. had its effect on the San Francisco
man, and when ne went into the race for
the doubles Championship with only half an
hours rest the result was fatal to his
chances With Arthur Scribner, the fast
Omaha player. he was able TO take the first
two sets from Anderson and Hayes. but the
latter pair from that time on proved the
fresher and overcame the lead. taking the
last three sets In easy fashion.
The consolation prize In singles went TO

Comparative Ease.

Playing steady. driving lawn tennis. Har-
old II. Hackett and Frederick B. Alexander
again won the New York state champion

Of the Crescent Athletic Club. at Bay

have proven themselves fnvincibie as the
national champions. defeated the champion
pair of the Crescent Athletic Club-C. NJ
Bull If. and H c Martin-hy the score
e-3. Sc. 60.
There was a great weekend gallery of
more than two thousand spectators around
the main court under the grassy terraces to
watch and applaud the racket work Of the
men. True to their lawn tennis instinct,
which has been developed through many a
hard and gruelling contest, Hackett and
Alexander were up TO the net behind every
return through the first set 1t was fast
and furious racket welding among the
four players. Bull was trying to streak the
ball through 10 the corners, while Martin
slammed for alley shots But Hackett and
Alexander always seemed TO anticipate the
direction and covered up SO well that they
captured the first SET. with the point totals
al "a 10 %
Both pairs were on tiptoe in the second
set. Spect acula-ly, 1t was the best Of the
match for the men all worked faster and
with more certainty of action than in either
of the other TWO. On each side the service
vas SO strong that the games fell evenly
from sail TO 6-aIl, following service. It
was in this set that Hackett tried out
Bulls overhead snashes. and with results
that proved the big Crescent man 10 be
somewhat unsteady in this department Of
his game. In the most surprising manner
Hackett would pop up high and straight
falling lobs from out Of a speedy driving
session. and always aimed 10 drop the ball
II Bulls territory. Hackett used this snot
a. critical times. Only occasionally was
Buil good enough to take the point. and
when he did win it was by a sensational
Kill that gave Hackett not a chance to try
for a return. On The thirteenth game, how
ever, Bull went into the net too often. and
the champions won the set with the points
a. 81 10 IL
The pace at which the champions had
kept their opponents going began to tell
Oh Bull and Martin in the third set. There
was q change about from net TO base line
more often than previously. and the two
Crescent players oftener tried for tricky
pass down the alley instead Of depending
upon the slashing vollevs al close range.
The set contained more varied and pleas
ing lawn tennis than any Of the others.
What il lacked in spectacular speed II
made up in the finer strategic points Of the
game. Hackett and Alexander were TOO
well versed in ell Of the finer manRuvres
to falter at this stage. While the set was
well played, the game score was not as
close as the others. The points tailed 27
for the winners and Is for the losers. The
match brought the championship meeting
10 an end.
