TOUC|HARD WINS TROPHY
Regains Challenge Cup Lost to
Church a Year Ago.
MISS WAGNER ALSO SCORES
Beats English Girl in Final
Round of Tourney at
Bronxville.

Placing the ball swiftly, Gustave F.
Touchard won the Lawrence Park chal-
lenge cup yesterday in the deciding match
OF the singles on the clay court of the
Bronxville Athletic Club In regaining the
trophy which he lost q year ago, Touchard
the challenger defeated George NJ.
Church. the defender, in straight sets,
81. GO. IS. While he made a plucky
effort to retain the cup, the younger player
was outclassed in many ways.
Miss Marie Wagner scored in the trophy
match Of the womens singles. In the
final round she defeated Miss Glare Cas-
sell, the English girl, who has been COM
petfng on the courts of this country for
some time. in straight sets at 81, e.
During this contest Miss Wagner worked
her shots with powerful strokes There
was a sting and a bite to her drives. and
this, with the additional fact that she
placed the ball constantly so that Miss
Cassell was compelled to keep on the run,
so harrassed the English girl that she was
more easily defeated than had been ex-
pected.
Previous to the final Miss Wagner de-
feated Mrs. Louis Haight, OF the Morris
town Field Club, Glove. 81. This
match served to put Miss Wagner on her
game, so that her shots were going SPLEEN
didly when she faced Miss Cassen.
Some tremendous overhead smashing en-
nvened the final round of the mems
doubles In which Theodore Roosevelt Pell
anu Gustave F. Touchard defeated Benja-
min NJ. Phillips and DR.. William Rosen-
baum, ca, 6-3, GA In spectacular effects
this was the most interesting competition
Of the day From their side Of the net
Phillips and DIR. Rosenbaum at all times
forced the volleying. Pell, who has been
through the chases for net position before,
prev allied in his generalship upon the ocas-
sion of these assaults The rally was
always met but usually after return the
ball was lobbed high and deep, Phillips and
DR.. Rosenbaum scampering pell-mel Tor
| their baseline for quick gets and recoVerles'
Church ably supported Pell in all or the
playss and was most effective In cross
court smashing and alley shots
In q measure the defeat OF Church, the
cup holder, had been foreshadoWed by the
excellent form that TOuchard has displayed
in his recent tournament matches. through
out the three sets TOuchard CONTINUOUSLY
forced his opponent out of position Church
was not skilled enough to check this sort
of manuuvring. At times, for game or
two he would be on the jump for the net.
Touchard's returns for slashes down the
sides that fairly made the latter glddy lIy
ing tC keep track of them. But 1t was a
pace that the younger player could not
hold. In the volleying exchanges ChuIcI5
held his own, and after Touchard nao Irleo
him out at this several times ne changeo
his tactics to the more remunerative drlV-
ing for placement.
