CHURCH DEFEATS
IRVING WRIGHT
Dashing Tennis Champion
Again Wins Title in
Florida.
By BRIGGS

Palm Beach. Fla, March George
Myers Church, Of Tenafy, y. J,
formerly inter-collesi ate tennis cham
pion, retained his title "a Florida
champion in the challenge round here
today. by defeating Irving {. Wright,
O. Boston, in three straight sets, 6 4,
s il. !.
Church was at his best throughout
the match, while Wright did not play
the same brand Of tennis ne exhibited
the day before when he defeated
Harold 1hrockmorton in the finals, q
ycungster who plays much the same
style of game as Church. This IS the
trird straight victory for Church and
gives him possession Of the Royal
Poinciaua Challenge Bowl. At the con
c'usion of tie match Nh Church made
a speech. stating that he would return
i'm another gear.
The victor started out in decisive
manner and earned his win by his
strong net game. y right was of on
his side lire strokes and slso at lob
bing. Church repeatedly driving 20 his
hack hand and coming to the net FOR a
kill Wright's lobs were usually shorts
and his attempts az passing rarely
reached the opening, and resulted IN a
winning chop over the net to one side
or the other by Church.
Church was ct his best at the smash
ing game and kept the crowd applaud
ing by his brilliant overhead drives 10
the corner OF his opponents court.
Wright was utterly helpless combating
this game. Church was not serving as
strongly as in his previous matches IN
doubles. but gained most Of the points
By coming TO the net. Here his work
vas always brilliant.
Wright played a back court game,
rarely coming Up, and when he did his
oyorhead game lacked the drive OF his
opponent and was of ltt.e use. His
back hand strokes which earned him
many points the previous day were not
IT. working order. as he was either driv-
ing them into the net or into the ac-
lively handled racquet OF Church, who
termed them TO the side for an ace.
The finals IN the mems consultations
went 20 g. ;. Bryan. Of Bridgeport, who
defeated q. lIowes. Lorgwood. 8-3.

victory in the consultations for Bryan.

goal shooting, cost them the game.
which from the very first was beyond
hope.
Cornell took a remarkable brace
since the Dartmouth game, and began
whirlwind attack, which swept the
visitors from their feet ct the stare
and resulted In 33 20 3 score at the
end of the first half. Littauer made
the only score for Columbia during this
half. while Brown and Sutterby each
made four apiece.
In the second half Wegener added
two more field goals for Columbia,

Der correctly, was 10 !. with the in
fated Squires the favorite.
When Burns finally saw Squires he
did not look at him very long. The
fight had gone just little over a
minute when Burns caught Squires or
the temple and Bill dropped in his
tracks. The crowd began to pelt hun
with seat cushions.
OF course, the Moran and Willard in
PRODUCTION may not be fair parallel.
Willard is not exactly unknown 10
those who will see him with Moran.
Squires was complete mystery and

clares that he has one OF the stronges

Cornell men are optimistic IS 20 their
chances Of winning a large number OF
the events, they viii find determine
group Of rivals in Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania, Penn State and Princeton, who
have entered teams in practically every
event. Columbia and the Massachu'
setts Institute OF Technology also may
furnish surprises.
The running high jump, which Is
usually long drawn out affair, will be
the first event. Richards is expected
to have stiff fight or his hands in de-
Tending his title against Wesley NJ.

THE climax came just "A few days be
j fore the fight. Cans had hard
time making the weight. lie was JUS
about as hne "a he could be. Then
Nolan insisted that Cans weigh ~ with
his fighting togs. This would make
nearly a pound more for man VINO

Instantly the technicians began to
look 10 the rules. The Marquis OF
Queensberry code had nothing 20 say
on the subject The final article in
the Blackstone Of fsticuhs declared
that for all points not covered by the
marquis the London prize ring rules
must be taken. And The London prize
ring rules said that a man must weigh
in with his fighting toys.
When they showed this ruling 10
Cans the negro sorrowfully agreed.
But the population Of Goldheld was in
dignant at Nolan by this time. The
suggestion was made that lie be run
into the desert. That meant that Nolan
should be taken for about fifty miles

water TO take him 70 the next camp
