Knight in Two Straight
Games
By A. c. Cavagnaro

That age is no bar IN squash tennis
was shown when w. i. Merris, who has
passed the half century mark, clevcrly
defeated G.. l.. Knight in match of the
team championship tournament at the
Crescent Athletic Club. Brooklyn, yes
terday. Tho issue was decided in two
straight games by score of 15--11,
l5--l0.
Mcris handled the swift shots Of
his rival i'll deft manner, whether it
was in 'cross-couvt attack or a kill"
to the front wall. Knight was freQuent-
~ caught f'atfooted by his opponents
crafty placement shots and battling
change OF pace that had him running
about the court to intercept the ball.
In an effort to return the low drives Of
Merrls, knight frequently drove the
ball into the tell-talc. and it was these
errors. coming at critical times, that
gave the veteran player his advantage
in each game.
Two in Row
The victory scored by Mers was
his second IN two days and materially
strengthened the lead maintained by
Team No. !, Of which he is a member.
in the quest for the tournament prizes.
The closest match OF the tourney vet
was that III which j. c. Judge, who is
also member of Team No /, defeated
G. T. Deeley, after three bitter games,
BY score of 15-9. 12-15, 15-13
Both men depended chiefly on terrific
smashes. for placement shots, to collect
aces and consequently set fast pace
throughout.
All three games were featured by
long rallies, Especially the second and
third encounters. in which Judge
always led the way. After rallying to
oyertake Judge and win the second
game, Deeley continued his furious
driving in the third contest. 1t was a
hard light for every ace, but Judge
managed to stave off determined
spurt by Deeley in the last two hands
