The GOODNESS OF the day and the impor-
tance Of the singles attracted a large gal
/ lery, which centred upon the court under
the terrace upon which the former CTes-
cent champion Bull met Palmer. On form
! II Was the New Jersey champions match
! Bull began the service only to have Palmer
force his position by his left handed drives
and win the first game after two deuces-
/ IN the next the Crescent man retaliated
/ by placing Palmers service on the drive
! for q love game, the only one so scored
during the match.
BY fast snd nimble footing Bull covered
court and well placing his drives so stead
] lily that he went to the front at 81 Then
Palmer speeded up and made hts puzzling
/ left-handers well that the games fell
70 3-su. From that point to all driving
rallies made the games interesting. Palmer
had the vantage each time. but by striv-
ing 70 be overcarefui he timed his shots
badly. This piled up nets against him
and eventually he lost the set by II as he
degenerated 70 pat ball, Bull winning the
set al 81 and with the points at 51-A.
( In the second set Bull continued steady
with occasional bits of fast work. He ran
into the lead at Al and 81 when Palmer
took q session at his old time driving for
cross shots that made it appear that he
! had woke up and was about 10 score the
match. After catching Bull at sail Palmer
let down and Bull Won at Sc with the
points at SIS.
/ McLoughIin's bad breaking service with
an occasional spinning variation, proved
/ the real factor in the defeating of Larned
and Wrenn in the doubles. In the first set
/ laTned and Wrenn led the CaIifornians )
/ 10 J. Then the auburn haired boy began
. 10 send his returns spinning down the sides
so that Larned netted frequently. and the
! games went 10 deuce before Larned and
/ Wrenn Won the set
| IN the second set the CaHforntans were
/ n1arvellously fast They sent slashing
/ shots TO the sides. forcing Larned and
I Wrenn wide of position and then Nc
/ LoughIin was usually on hand to whip
! pass through the veterans court Some of
the rallies were keenly fought. Neither
side shirked lobbing, but both Mclaughlin
and Gardner worked Wrenn for short lobbs
! at critical times. which he smashed into
: the net Larned made many nets and outs
/ at the close. with the Caifornians playing
| in top form.
