OF the West Side club today, by de-
feating Ichiya Kumagae. Japanese
star. in straight sets, -, -. 80.
1IIden's victory over Eumagae
was decisive. The Oriental racket
wielder was absolutely unable to
check the tall PhiIatelpntan, who
rushed through the three sets with
the loss Of only four games in con-
siderably less than one hour Of
playing time, The total point
score t0r the three sets was So 70
-, and the stroke analysis shows
the Japanese making far more
errors and fewer placement aces.
Iilden seldom was forced 10 call
upon his terrific service and
smashing play and devoted most Of
his ofensa to low sharply cat fore
and back hand returns which bare
ly cleared the net aad bored inso
the turf with a spin which caused
them to bound only a 100: high.
In the face of This pulling un-
dercut kumasa was enable to
play the bail al the height which
is most favorable TO his looping
Lawford stroke. Numerous returns
found Judgement in the net and
1t was only occasionally that ku-
magae could get the bail in posi-
ton for his back hand or fOrehand
drives along the side lines
Speed Us. Speed Today.
While TiIden chose to play a
comparatively soft and placing
game against humagae, ne die
show flashes of driving and serv-
ing power much like that OF Muir
