Atherton Richards brought down the
Wall cup in his final match with Rich

stroke, putting Cooke out Of it, Go,
6-1
Cooke played a pretty steady game
and was stronger than his opponent in
drives close up TO the net, but he did
not vary his placing Of the ball. Often
when he could have put it out of Ather-
tom. reach he contented himself with
Just returning the rubber. Young Rich
ards shot them little wild until the
critical period, when, as usual, he re-
covered his control and outmaneuvered
his rival on nearly al the rallies. Ath-
erton did most Of his work from the
serving line When he tried to advance
and play close net drives, he invariably

set the games went four to one IN
Cookies favor. Atherton won two, and
then Richard ended it. Cooke landed
four in succession in the third set. and
then they alternated until Cooke had
won two more. Cooke got the first game

wouldn't. ard she made such
screeching that everyone wanted to
catch her and turn her out. Suddenly
1 met YOU, and YOU asked me to
marry you, and go to America but
I refused TO marry YOU. and went into
supper with Frank Smith instead. AS
we were having supper someone
caught Mrs. Johns (who was stlll
flying about and screeching). and put
her in a cage. Soon you came into the
supperroom. and told Frank Smith
you hated him. Then Mrs Johns
called out to you. and YOU let her out
of the cage-and both OF you flew
