The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-08-17
FINALS PLAYED
THIS AFTERNOON
Both Singles and doubles to Be Com
peted on Country Club Courts for
State Championship.

The feature match of the tournament
was furnished by Harris and Vezey yes
terday afternoon in the second round
of singles. A large gallery watched the
work of the two stars and was treated
to an exhibition of back court plav the
equal of which has not been seen on
local courts. Vezey, especially, was re-
markably strong and accurate with his
back hand drives. For IS games in the
first set he prevented Harris getting to
the net by skillful passing and placing.
The first set was finally won by Har-
ris by score of 10 to s, but with the
games to Vezey had been three
times within one point of winning. In
spite of the fact that both men have a
hard service there was a popularity in
the fact that each persisted in winning
his opponents service games In the
18th game Harris finally won his own
service and the fast tiring Vezey
seemed to lose hope. The last set was
easily won by Harris, for Vezey very
evidently could not stand the pace.
The singles match between Roger
Bracket of Brattleboro and Eugene
Heine of Philadelphia was a long-drawn-
out affair. 1t appeared to be the sole
object of both players to return the
ball as easily as possible and with 10
effort at placing. Brackett won the
first set at los but Heine speeded up a
trife and in the next two and the last
he won without much effort. This was
the only three-set match of the day.
In the doubles Harris and Vezey had
no difficulty in disposing of Dr. H. p.
Greene and John Williams of Walpole.
/ n. H., in straight sets. The only game
the visitors lost in the first set was
love game on the physician s service.
| Wakefield bort of Keene, n H., won
a hardfought victory over Joseph Dex-
ter of Philadelphia and South Newfane
and A, H. Chaplin, jr., of Springfield,
Mass, winning both sets by score
of ca
At the same time this match was in
progress Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Chaplin,
parents of the 15-year-old boy who was
| playing on one court, were playing an
exhibition match of mixed doubles
against Fred II. Harris and Miss Sarah
NJ. Young of Pittsburg, Pa. The play
of the two members of the gentler sex
was an eye opener to many, for both
faced the hard service of the men as
easily as did their partners and Miss
I Young was very clever at net play and
udu nara seINicV- dTS. Indr1n O1S-
played unusual cleverness at placing her
drives. Harris and Miss Young won
the first set at Ga, and the second was
| finally abandoned by the Chapins with
the score 81. If there is any time to-
day the women will play an exhibition
match of singles.
