tender for his brothers court tennis title
for this year at least. was assured yes
terday when he was put out Of the run
ming in the first round OF the national
amateur championship tournament by
Lawrence Waterbury at tn, New York
Racquet and Tennis Club. The racquets
champion was hard put to 1t to win. how
ever. for young Gould played some ex-
cellent tennis and forced the match to
FIVE sets before he lost. at 5--6, e.
S-2. Is. &c.
1t was the opening day OF the tourna-
ment and play began In the morning with
eleven contestants. who will work through
the preliminary rounds for the right to
meet jay Gould in the challenge round
for the championship. Only two other
matches were played, the winners of which
were Charles Il. Sands OF the New York
Racquet and Tennis Club and Philip
Stockton OF the Boston Tennis and Rae
quet Club. Sands won his match in con-
secutive sets from G. :. Cutting, a club
mate, with the set scores at "a, 60
SIS. while the Boston player eliminated
Daniel l.. Hutchinson of the Philadelphia
Racquet Club. three sets out Of four. with
the scores at 60. 2--6. 6-2. 6-2.
Plenty Of good fast tennis was promised
by an unusually fine list OF entrants and
the enthusiasts crowded every place Of
vantage before the matches started. Al
though the play In all contests WAS good,
the interest centred around the Could
Waterbury match. 1t was the debut Of
the champions young brother in fast
company. and he represented the Phila-
delphia Racquet Club.
Much had been said favorably about
the younger Gould by those who had
seen him work. and some even went so
far as to predict that II would be he who
would oppose Jay Gould in the challenge
round. The fact that he was to meet
waterbury awakened especial interest,
because those well acquainted with the
game realized that II would be an acid
test for the newcomer and that whatever
good was In him would be brought out
by the seasoned veteran.
Gould gave evidence OF having been
well coached in the essentials OF the game
and showed wonderful versatility In
his strokes. which were we'll executed.
He also showed natural aptitude for
the game. which should help to open up
= grand future for him II he decides to
take the game seriously.
His main fault was In lack Of expert
ence and this showed up particularly
against the cool, steady generalship Of
the polo player whose puzzling service
completely bafhed him. Gould is superb
at covering ground and made his gets
with less apparent effort than his rival
The fourth set showed Gould to best ad-
vantage. for in this he had the ball figur-
atively eating out of his hand. Water
bury was made to run all over the court
and for the most of the time without any
avail. for Gould was going strongly. The
crack polo player took only one game
in this set and 1t looked as IL he might
have 10 finish on the short end of the
score
Waterbury looked tired after the set
was over and said that he was dying"
while Gould on the other hand appeared
TO be standing the pace well. The way
In which Waterbury handled the situation
in the next set, however, proved that he
was anything but exhausted.
The winner of the first of the days
matches, Sands, was in excellent condi-
ton and never was put to much trouble
TO score. His strength was in his accu-
racy and battling service. The service may
have looked a lot better than II really was
owing to the inability of Cutting, whose
play was very weak. to handle IL.
Hutchinson. once a star quarterback on
the Pennsylvania eleven despite the fact
that he won only set in his match
played well and showed somewhat of
brilliance, Many OF the games in this
match went to deuce. but Stockton was
the better general and invariably had
the punch to pull out the deciding points
