New-York tribune., 1916-07-29

right with low, deceptive tosses over
Pecks round head. Each man broke
through service often.
Kumagae, the japanese southpaw,
wore out Niles, who had an unexpected
ly hard three sets with Richard Harte
the Harvard catcher, this morning in
the continuation of their halted yester-
day match In the last set Niles,
breathless, was forced to do everything
in the stalling line except tie his shoe
strings.
Oriental Changes Game.
The visiting southpaw actually
changed his game TO the extent OF max
ing occasional sallies to the net, where
he was fairly effective. IL was his
beautiful ground strokes, however, that
overcame Niles, just as they were too
much for Griffin in the finals for the
New York State championship. Niles
and Pell are considered the best base
liners in this country, but the cunning
Nipponese beat the Bostonian at his
own game. Niles came TO the net oc-
casionally, but was usually aced In the
end.
Exciting, long back court driving
duels made this match the best TO watch
OF any. The Japanese showed southpaw
temperament time and again by clever,
sharply angled and unexpected cross
court shots after several drives down
one line to draw the American out of
position. Niles lost when the spec
tacled Kumagae doffed his cap and went
bareheaded as the spectacled Niles
donned cap at the start of the last
set.
Washburn eliminated Edwin B. (Ned)
Larned, a fellow New Yorker, without
any compunction whatever, once his
slow starting began to swing into better
form. The descending closeness of
score-2-6, 10-8, 8-6, 6-4-marks
the tides of the winners form.
Apparently all Boston turned out to
pay admission to the afternoon
matches. An added attraction was
mixed doubles match, in which Miss
Molla Bjurstedt presided. Each of two
men acted as the woman-in effective
ness-on the other side of the net.
They were George T. AIDES, president of
the National Tennis Association, and
Julian S. Myrick. president OF the West
Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills. Both
men amply proved Kipling's remark
about the deadliness of the female as
opposed to the male by being deadly
effective in favor of Miss Bjurstedt's
game.
