MURRAY AGAIN ELIMINATES
JAP STAR FROM TOURNEY
Kumagae Is Beaten in Straight Sets.
Griffen and Roberts Win

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.--Robert Iindley
Murray, the Palo Alto portsider, left no
room for dispute as to his superiority when
for the second time within n week he tri.
umphed over the Nipponese crack, Ichiya
Kumagae. in the final round of the annual
open tournament on the courts of tho
Crescent Athletic Club at Bay Ridge. The
speedy Californian was compelled, however,
10 resort to all his knowledge of the game
to win in straight sets from the little bunch
Of muscle and nerve from the Orient, Sc,
GA, 10.
California tennis was seen at it's best
when Clarence j. Griffin. of San Fran
cisco. joint holder of the national doubles
title with William NJ. Johnston, paired with
Roland Roberts, of San Francisco, and de-
feated Walter Merrill Hall and Charles NJ,
Bull Jr,, in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 6-3, in
the doubles final. This match while It held
the interest OF more than 5000 spectators,
lacked many of the sensational features
of the singles final. The contest was hard
fought. but only for time in the first
set was there any real doubt as to the
prospective winners.
