The national indoor lawn tennis title
At singles now lies between Oustave F.
Touchard, the present champion and DR..
william Rosenbaurn. both Of whom
reached the Hnai round OF the tourna-
ment by winning their ssmi-nnal matches
At the Seventh Regiment Armory yester-
day. Touchard defeated u NJ. Phillips
In straight sets after a hard fight while
DR.. Kosenbaum was forced to three sets
by Arthur NJ. Lovibond. the Seventh Regi-
ment champion. before the latter Ae-
knowiedged defeat at Sc. e--2, 6-s.
There were quite n few who expected
to see Dr. Rosenbaum eliminated by the
militiainan. but those who have W .tched
DR.. Rosenbaum playing at the Twenty
second Regiment Armory with the strong
Alias Club during the indoor season were
not at all surprised by his victory. In
fact there are many who look forward
TO seeing the doctor dispiacc Touchard
from the championship throne. Dr. Ros-
enbaums all around play was Tar su-
perior to Lovibonds He was slow to
get started. and that was the only rea-
son why his match went to three sets.
Lovibond WAS In excellent form. and
almost from the time the first ball was
hit began 10 gather In points by choos-
ing his strokes with rare good Judgment
DR. Rosenbaum. on the contrary, did not
seem In any hurry TO get started and
appeared to feel confident OF winning
whenever he wanted 20. After the militia
man got big lead to start with DR..
Rosenbaum showed no desire 10 over
come It, but tried out all the tricks he
knew to nnd out his opponents weakness.
Incidentally he tired Lovibord consider
ably by chasing him all over the court.
When the second set had gone but a
little way Il became evident that DR..
Rosenbaum had been successful IN pick
| ing out his opponents vulnerable spots,
/ for he gathered In point after point with
remarkable regularity The third set was
practically a repetition OF the second for
/ DIR. Rosenbaum was AZ fresh when
he started and was making difficult gets
with ease.
/ Phillips gave Touchsrd much harder
nght than the champion expected. IL the
/ first set the loser was particularly strong
and forced II TO deuce principally by HIS
ability TO place the ball. The form tina,
Phillips showed Ia this set scared the
/ champion ana he worked hard all through
the second.
TouchArd and W. Il. CraEin. Jr.. took
their place In the semi final round OF the
doubles which IL now filled. by defeat y
r. NJ Phillips and J. NJ. s,emacher IN
