Smith and Cragin Beat Hall and
LOvibOnd in First Round
of Doubles.

King Smith and Arthur 6. Cragin fur
nished an upset yesterday in the indoor
lawn tennis tournament for the cham
pionship Of the Seventh Regiment by de-
feating Walter Merrill Hall and Arthur
NJ Loyibond in the first round Of the
doubles at 6--3. e.. The beaten pair
were generally conceded to have easy
sailing through the tournament to a title,
while Smith and Cragln were not even
supposed to have an outside chance OF
winning yesterdays match.
The whole story of the contest was that
the winners played we'll together. while
the losers did not. Individually Hall and
Lovibond easily outshone their rivals.
but II was Just this individuality that
upset the calculations. for while Smith
and Cragin always managed to work
into each others game Lovioond and
Hall were constantly getting their signals
crossed. Then. too. Smith and Cragin
IN order to offset the superior strength
OF their opponents played to deep court
continually.
These tactics helped. FOR IT gave
neither Hall nor LovibOnd many chances
for smashes. When either one of the
losing team did get into fore cour; Il
usually proved disastrous Tor tho win
