ny FREDERICK G. LIEB.


Miss Eleanor Goss and Walter Merrill
Hall, mixed doubles tennis champions Of
tho Metropolitan district, yesterday added
the entire state of New York to the ter
ritory over which they hold sway. In the
final for the State championship at the
New York Tennis Club, West 23Sth street
and Broadway. Miss Goss and Hall de-
feated Miss Margaret Grove and j.
Harry steinkampf in straight sets at
So, 7--5.
While Miss Grove and Steinkampf
gave a surprisingly good exhibition and
forced Miss Goss and Hall to exert
themselves to the utmost the West Side
pair probably would have been obliged
to meet still keener opposition but for
the illness of Elliott Binzeu. Binxen and
Miss Marie Wagner were to have played
Miss Grove and Steinkampf In the semi
finals last Saturday. The match was
postponed until yesterday morning. but
when Binsen was unable to leave his bed
II had to be awarded to Miss Grove ana
steinkampf by default.
Full credit must be given to Miss
Grove and steinkampf for the good fight
they put up. Especially did Miss Grove
fight like a little marine. She carried
stcinkampf along with her, as the latter
was inclined to be erratic. Had stein
kampf played with the same excellence
as ME partner tho fcruiSt H"snf "e'S
been different
victors in Command Always.
Miss Goss and Hall. however, always
had something In reserve, and when their
opponents began to creep up on them
:. they let out an extra notch and reeled
off the games necessary to win the sets.
This especially was true in the second
INSET, when, after leading So. Miss Grove
iad the
|Idelight OF the big Sunday gallery. Miss
(hGoss and Hall then braced and played
come dazzling tennis, winning the next
two games.
Miss Goss played her usually strong
net game, and some OF her smashes
were practically impossible to handle.
Hall was the same splendid player OF
OLD with his big assortment OF finished
1strokee. His trick bag caused Stein
Jkamps no end of trouble. Miss Grove.
Y however, managed to get most every
thing back. whether at the net or in the
baekcourt, and unauestionably played
me OF the best games OF her career.
Even the strong service Of both Miss
soss and Hall proved no puxxlc to her.
md almost invariably she was able TO
,cturn 1t. There were some great rallies
IN both sets in which both women Tea
.ured and the gallery had plenty or op-
oortunity to enthuse.
In Red Cross Final.
