HEMINWAY WINS
OVER TAYLOR IN
SQUASH MATCH
COrdier, of Yale, Victor Over
Montclair Player-Roy
Riggs Wins
BY A. c. CAVAGNARO

Edward II. Heminway, a Harvard
Club player, continued his unexpected
ly good playing in easily defeating
John Taylor, the fast Princeton Club
member, in the fourth round Of the
handicap tournament of the National
Squash Tennis Association at the Grim
son courts yesterday. Taylor was de-
cidedly off form, losing after two
straight games by a score of l5-6,
15-2.
The limit handicap Of one hand plus
Q aces, held by Heminway, while lay
lor PLAYED at minus s aces, proved too
much TO overcome. Taylor's usual
game of steadness was lacking, while
he missed often on his own service.
Cordier, of Yale, was one OF the days
winners in a match against Charles +.
Brown. of the Montclair Athletic Club,
a scratch man. The scores was lj-l2.
15-12. However, Cordier IS a minus 8
man, and this is sure to prove heavy
burden when he meets Heminway. Cor
der worked in rare form against
Brown, using a change of pace that bat-
fed and d smashing dead "klll' TO the
bac,.wall.
W. II. Van der Poel, Of the Squash
Club, contender for the high nonor5,
defeated Roy Z. 7. Riggs, who failed
TO show his usual strong gang, by a
score OF 10, IS 3, while Lindsey
Bradford. Yale Club entrant, who
eliminated Charles VI. Bull on Monday
fell an easy victim to V. Booth, "A Har-
ward man. Bradford. playing plus one
hand, had to concede his opponent nine
aces, and this proved impossible. The
score was 81, 15-5.
The Harvard Club retains five OF the
eight men in the fifth round play to-
day, and some good matches are prom
