Westchester County Tourney.

Two of the important HlatCtiCe IL 49,
championship singles of the WesteAes'eI
County Association tournament were part
u determined by the torrid heat yesteFoaS
Morris S. Clark. of the BreaxVil!e Athie'ie
Association, and Lewis =. FRIEDMAN o.
the New York Athletic Club, IN each o.
these contests managed to keep the!f game
going on the courts Of the SiWanoy eoui'-
try Club, Mount Vernon, and so adVaheeo
to the next round In his Tnatch NlasAA
was almost overcome in the last OF the
first ard in the second set he Kept on
however. only to have his opponent, Dr.
BENJAMIN r Drake, Of New Rochelle, fade
away in the third, so that Clark won al
81, IS, 81
P P Gilman, ir., of siwanoy, was the
opponent Of Friedman, and by playing a
fast driving game he defeated the New
York Athletic Club player at love for the
first set The swift pace, together with
the heat of the day, then began to snow
itself in Gilmans game He tried to con
tinue, but on the third game Of the second
set he became so dizzy that he had to be
assisted from the court, Friedman taking
the victory by default at loves, 2-0, de-
fauIted-
That the decision Of the referee, George
r Coughland was lust in awarding the
match to Friedman was shown by the
fact that in the next round the player OF
the New York Athletic Club was success
ful in defeating David Sands, of the Bronx
vile Athletic Association, "a, g., 6-3
Clark in his match was put to a severe
test by DR.. Drake The former piled up
lead ef Glove by forcing his position at
the net in the first set Then the torrid
heat began to make Clark giddy. He let
down on his game, with the result that Dr.
Blake quickly balanced the score by COM
ing up to close range and covering his
court 50 well that Clark could not pass him
Up to 7-au the games followed service.
Then Clark nerved himself for q squirt, by
which he won the set at 81.
Taings went badly for Clark IN the
second set Il was all he could do TO keep
up his game and he was SO nearly ever
come that he dared net try for the
net, which he knew was his winning game
DR. Drake, however, was on the move, and
rather easily won the set. Taking things
easy for this set probably saved the match
for Clark, as he became much stronger IN
the third, while II was DR.. brakes turn
to show the effects Of the heat. The re-
vival on the part Of Clark allowed him
to force the playing all the way, and he
rushed the match to conclusion, losing
only one game The summary follows;
