Wins Fast Lawn Tennis Match
After Losing the First Set.

George Carlton Shafer. the former base
ball and lawn tennis captain OF Columbia
University teams, won gruelling three
set match from Arthur Cragn at 3-6, 81,
10, which landed him in the semi-hnal
round Of the national indoor lawn tennis
championship tournament yesterday on the
courts of the 7th Regiment Armory.
William Il. Cragln, jr.. the regimental
champion. and Wyle G. Grant also came
through. The former played a hard three
set match. while Grant, who coupled with
Ovedio NJ. Bostwick, experienced what
amounted TO a walkover. as he outclassed
his opponent, J. II. steinkamph. Of the
Bedford Park Tennis Club.
In a way. the victory Of shafer was
marred by what appeared TO many 10 be
an uncaled for severity I'm the calling OF
footfaults, which at times caused Shafer
and his opponent. Arthur S. Cragin. con-
siderable annoyance.
W b. Cragin had to do a lot OF spread
eagling at court covering before he elimi-
mated c. Gilbert Plympton at G-i. Pc, 90
The two winners are paired for the final I'm

The doubles also drew level IN the semi
final, and here the work OF Frederick B.
Alexander. the former internationalist.
along with Theodore Roosevelt Pell showed
TO advantage The famous doubles cham
pion was at his best. The shots came
easily, and were freely played with burning
speed. He was distinctly brilliant and car
ried Pell along with him TO his topmost
flights in the rapidly moving volleys. so that
the two defeated Oviedo NJ. Bostwick and
william c. DE Mile. at &C. 6-l
II IS only fair TO the defeated team TO
state that De Mile was suffering from 4
strained left side, which caused him pain
