T. Tlden. Jr., Philadelphia. in straight sets by scores of e-3, 6-1, 7-5 Playing in the final and championship round on the courts of the West Side club, the California meteor won the first national tennis championship tournament since 1916. Fifty-five minutes of court battle proved that Murray is the ranking American player of the season.
 His victory was the more remarka- ble because he had not played serious tournament tennis until about ten days ago, when after receiving a vaca- ton from the munitions plant where he is employed as a chemist. he made his appearance at Southampton and later at Forest Hills.

CLOSE FINISHES IS FEATURE OF SECOND
 DAY OF RACE MEET
PATRICK DULUTH WINS 2:15 TRoT WITH cRoslER IN sULKY, BY TAKING TWO STRAIGHT HEATS FROM FIELD OF FIF- TEEN STARTERS

HARTFORD, Conn. Sept. 3.-Close finishes. particularly m the 2.15 trot, featured the second day of the Grand Circuit race meeting at Charter Oak park. Patrick Duluth, with Crosier in the sulky, took first money in the 2:15 event, which had a field of fifteen starters, winning two heats of the race, which was conducted on the three-heat plan, every heat a race. Bengal, who was drawn after the sec ond heat, won the first heat. In every heat the big field came down the home stretch so closely punched that the judges experienced much difficulty in placing the horses, and a number of drivers protested the decisions.
 The other two events-the Whirl- wind, S3,OOO purse, for 2:06 pacing class, and the $2,00O Nutmeg stake for 2-yearold trotters-were decided in straight heats, Murphy winning the former with Directum J. and Sherrill up behind Let Fly carrying off first money in the latter event.
