PHILADELPHIA, March 1o-Vincent
Richards, the sixteen year old "Miracle
Boy of the courts, paired with Rod

nament, on the roof of the Wana-

of 6-3, Go, Cd. in the final round
match.
Earlier in the day Richards and his
partner had eliminated George Neid-
rich and Charles Clarkson at e-1.
&c, and their triumph in the cham
pionship round was expected by the
gallery, although the brillance Of the
New York youngster was even greayer
than looked for.
1t was Richards's remarkably. crisp
volleying at the net and his unerring
skill at placement from the back Of
the court that decided the match. At
no time were Miller and March able
to keep the ball away from the sweep
of the national boy champions rae
quet consistently, and Beck backed his
partner up magnificently, so that the
result was never in doubt.

Willard is reported to be slightly

attack Of heart failure. 1t looks as
though a raise in the ante would be
the only thing to restore him to com
plcte health. However, Rickard hopes
for the best in the matter Of moving

do big business in Europe and the
British colonies.
