HALL MEETS A MASTER
Moore Defeats Lawn Tennis
Star on Indoor Courts.
PLAY IS FIERCE AND FAST
Match Will Long Linger in His
tory of Annual 7th Regi-
ment Tournaments.

The most remarkable reversal OF form in
indoor lawn tennis Of recent years took
place in the annual championship tourna-
ment of the eth Regiment yesterday, when
Walter Merrill Hall, holder of the singles
title, went down to defeat before g. Ct.
Moore, jr. comparatively unknown
player The score by which the latter won
his surprising victory was 60, 3-6. 12-1O.
Placing his drives down the side lines
with wonderful accuracy, Moore captured
the first set. Those present noticed that
Hall was not playing with the snap which
earned him tenth place on the ranking list
OF 1912. Whenever he ran up to the net
for smashes he often drove out of bounds.
Toward the end Of the set. however, Hall
seemed 10 be doing better In the second
set Hall showed streaks OF his oldtime
form and gained a lead on his opponent,
Once Hall got the lead Moore found it hard
to pass him. so the former champion won.
The third set saw both players keyed up
in the history of the regimental singles a.
one of the hottest ever contested. Early
in the FRAY Hall gained the lead, but after
few games was ovcrhaulcd by Moore.
From then on TO the twenty-sec0nd game it
was game and game. each showing the best
that was i'm him. Several times Hall was
within a point of victory, only to be stalled
or at the crucial moment by his opponent.
Moore's strength lay in his court covering.
He sped around the floor like n deer. He
kept Hall on the jump all the time and
finally wore down the title holder and got
the set at 12-10 and the match
Just before Moore tackled Hall lie paired
with LarendOn in the championship doubles
and they took the measure of Harry Parker
and r. L. Putnam. Larendon stayed
around the net while Moore looked after
the base line. In the first set Parker and
Putnam did their most effective work and
twice were close 10 victory. But Moore,
who used to be "A sprnter some years ago.
was able to meet Parker's 'cross-court
shots The second set was rather easy for
Larendon and Moore, Putnam, who IS
heavy man, tired rapidly.

New York. Nov. 1S.-Persons who

ums on life insurance policies for the
purpose of swelling" the records OF
agents and expect that their notes
will be returned and their policies
will be cancelled with no liability to
the makers of the notes, can be com
PEELED to pay the face value OF the
notes, the appellate division Of the
supreme court at New York decided
yesterday. There are many such ca
SEES pending in court.
Charles A. Newman who was the
defendant in the suit, testified that
representative of one of the big life
insurance companies, got him to take
out $4,000 policy to help the agent
make a good showing" for the year
just then closing. and that the policy
was to be Cancelled before any further
sums were payable. Subsequently
Newman says, he paid 800 on the
premium on the assertion that II
would discharge all liability but die
not get back his note for 1894.
The appellate division says tn,
note by Newman is negotiable,
promisory note and that under tn,
contract there was nothing the insur
ance company could do to proven
Newman from enforcing the terms o
the policy had he so desired.
