KUMAGAE FOR TITLE
Yale Tennis Captain and Pres
ent Champion Clash for
State Honors To-day.
SpecioI DespatcA 70 TIE suN.

UTICA, N. Y, July 1S.-Charles 8.
Garland of Pittsburg. captain Of the
Yale tennis team, will challenge Ichiya
Kumagae of Japan for the title OF New
York State champion on the courts Of
the Yahnundasis Club tomorrow after
noon. The former national junior
champion became flnaiist to-day
through successive defeats Of Craig
Biddle and Frank T. Anderson. the for
mer at s-3. rs. and Anderson by q
score OF 4-6, rs, "a. 6-3.
The present title holder had a some
what easier match to the final bracket
first. He overwhelmed Clarence j.
Griffith Of California at 81. 60. and
then eliminated Kirk Reid in a straight
set Of semi-hnsl. 6--2, Ga, Go. The
four teams to reach the semi-final round
In the doubles were Griffin and c. s..
Garland, Kashio and Gibbons, the An
derson brothers and Blddle and I. c..
Wright.
Kumagaes victory over Grifln was
close to record breaking perform
ance in the completeness OF his superior
lily in every department Of play. He
made only seven errors in the entire
match, netting the ball i've times and
driving II out twice.
Griffin scored only seven points in the
first set, four coming in the one game
placed to his credit, and his total for the
second set was only nine. In the first
five games Of the match the Califor-
MAN scored only three times. He went
pointless In the fourth and fifth ses-
sions. He then broke through for his
lone game, scoring two clean placements
and getting a pair Of errors. after which
he dropped another game for the
set, 6-f.
The second set contained the only
deuce game of the match. but beyond
this Griffin put up little opposition.
This was not due so much to lack Of
form on the part of the former sharer
In the national doubles title as to the
practically fiawless quality of Kuma-
gae's play. His looping drive was suffi-
cient to win majority of the points for
him. being absolutely dependable in ac-
curacy and speed. The Japanese left
handler was far more closely pressed by
Reid in the afternoon, and the latter
might have won at least a set II he had
not previously gone through an exhaust
ing three set match with Harold Taylor,
whom he defeated. 10. 6-3, 60.
The doubles provided something OF
an upset when Kashio and Gibbons took
the measure of Kumagae and Taylor
IN a three set match, 6-3, ST, e..
part Of the losers was sufficient to ex-
plain their defeat. Taylor was very
bad at the start. while Kuamagae
slumped equally toward the finish.
