Vosheu was the busiest man on the
courts Yesterday, playing seven sets for
total of - games. and in his final match
~ the day. when he and Basgs were
irving 10 resist the fierce attack OF Alex
ander and Rassford, he began to show
signs of the race he mad been put
through.
Ralph Bags never succeeded IN cett!nS
going in his match against Noshell in the
singles The brilliant flashes he had
shown throughout the week were lamost
totally lacking aud his judgment of dis
lance and angles was often 1T fault.
VoshelI. Of course. was playing in his
Eappiest vein, hitting the ball with great
forcc and racing TO the net at every APP
portunity Many aces he scored on his
railroad" service. which Bags was
forced to return. if at all, with weak lobs
that the champion nearly always killed.
The mems doubles brought out some
spirited lawn tennis
In the final round the new combination
OF Alexander and Bassford opposed the
champion doubles team with new va
riety of attack. Bassford. as steady as a
rock and the personifiCaton Of perpetual
motion on the court, relied on skilfulIy
placed and timed lobs in returning the
terrific smashes of Voshell and his part
Eer
This gave Alexander his opportunity to
20 in TO the net and bring off marvellously
placed 'cross-court shots that almost in
variably nicked the chalk lines. His
smashes from centre court, too were
sure point winners for his side and despite
the best that the champions could do
Alexander and his partner prevailed ana
won in two straight sets, at Ga, 6-3.
Miss Grove and Steinkampf proved a
strong and resourceful combination in the
final Of the mixed doubles They both d.
iected their play against Miss Carnage
rarely allowing Ostendorf chance to get
into the game. Although Miss Carnage
scored on many brilliant passing shots
and executed her strokes with an easy
grace that drew forth favorable comment
from the gallery, she could not stand the
brunt OF the combined attack, and Miss
Grove and Mr. Steinkampf won at Go
81.
