lots OF excitement and many went down

SHAFER DEFEATS GRANT
DESPITE EARLY SETBACK
Loses First Set, but Wins Next
Two, Rival Forcing Score Of
Final One Up to 81.

Carl @. shafer and Louis Graves moved
the open lawn tennis tournament OF the
New York Lawn Tennis Club at the club
courts in Columbia Oval willams5rldge.
yesterday after each one OF them had
been victorious In three set match
in the third round. Shafer advanced by
defeating wylle c. Grant In the feature
match OF the day at &c. 6--i, 81.
while Graves downed Abraham Bassford
Jr.. at 6-3. &c. 81.
In the Shafer- Grant match many OF
the games went to deuce. and }; was
only because OF his better staying pow
ers that shafer won. Grant took the lrs;
set much more handily than the score
would indicate. for he was very steady
and placed his strokes well. Shafer on
the other hand was trif' wild and lost
many points by EVERYTHING the sphere.
Grant did not half try to score aces
In the second set. He seemed content
to string the volleys out to great length
and to chase Shafer all over the court
II was evidently his intention to tire
his opponent out 80 that he would have
AN easy time taking the third. The fact
that he took only one game Of the SEQ
ond set was not due to poor playing as
much as TO lack OF ambition.
Shafer, however. fooled Grant by re-
fusing to get tired and he showed re-
markable strength In the third. so much
40 that Il became Grants turn TO do
most OF the work and he did IT, The
| lead vacillated from one to the other
until the set had been brought TO deuce
on three different occasions. when Shafer
started a squirt which gave him the 1T
| teenth and sixteenth games and with
them the set and match.
The Graves Bassford tussle was a nip
| and tuck AFFAIR from start TO finish and
the result was In doubt until the last
| game had been won Graves's victory
was due to his better Judgment in placing
| his strokes. The summaries:
