Island lawn. tennis singles title ana cup
yesterday in the challenge match on the
clay courts of the Kings County Tennis
Club, of Brooklyn. AS the defending cham
pion, Cragin defeated Samuel A Westfall,
the tournament winner and challenger. at
2-6, s., 10-s. SO.
Throughout the forty-four games OF the
match Cragin played a crafty game. HIS
work was that of the far-seeing general OF
the court against a player armed with
relatively superior ability and a larger as
sortment of strokes. That against such
odds as these Cragin was able not only to
hold his own. but ultimately win, as he had
done in other years against Theodore
Roosevelt Pell and Walter Merrill Hall,
stamps him as one Of the most remarkable
performers on the courts in this section of
the country.
In many respects the outcome of the
match was nothing short Of a sensation.
Westfall had come through the tournament
showing splendid command of speed and
direction. He was looked upon as certain
to annihilate the somewhat awkward style
