stockton made a miserable showing
against Sands in the opening set of their
match He seemed to be at loss to
know where the ball was going when he
did hit II and many times his returns
resulted in a puny little drive which
popped in the air or rolled into the net.
He scored only eight aces in the set
He improved. however, as I've went along
ard IN the second set managed to take
two games and force two more to deuce.
In the third set the Boston player made
0 real fight and moved into the lead on
three different occasions. On the seventh
game he did especially well. Sands had
him in the hole at 40. but he played
come really good tennis and won the game
by taking five aces in row. On the
twelfth game a vantage game with the
score lO-i5 In favor OF Sands. the New
Yorker. needing only one point for the
game. Set and match, put one out Of
court. stockton followed this by shoot
ing one into the dedans, making deuce.
u looked as II the visitor might tie up the
sN again but Sands won chase for
vantage and Stockton Melted, losing the
final point and the match. The winners
