JAY GOULD ADDS TO
SQUASH VICTORIES
Court Tennis Champion Con
tinues Success at Expense
of c. M. Bull, Jr.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BY SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

In a series of interesting matches that
marked the resumption of play in the
Glass A metropolitan squash tennis
championship yesterday. the outstanding
feature was the continued success of Jay
Gould, the court tennis champion. against
opponents of high ranking. 1t was
Charles NJ Bull, Jr.'s turn to meet de-
feat at the hands of the court tennis
star. The victory scored In the final of
the National Tennis Squash Association
open tournament early In the week had
given Gould world Of confidence and
he showed II in every move. Stroking
with more abandon than usual and driv-
ing with tremendous speed. Gould earned
a long lead early In each game and won
decisively. 15-S, 15-9.
Throughout the match Gould's ability
to meet the ball from any position in
the fastest of the rallies was the
strongest point OF his game. In addition
TO that he managed to outguess Bull
repeatedly by concealing the direction
of his return, a deft twist of the wrist
changing the apparent direction as the
racquet met the ball. The speed and
versatility Of Goulds attack worried
Bull into hasty returns and consequent
errors. In the second game particularly
Bulls drives time and again found the
telltale
In the opening game Gould scored 8
ices before Bull could get going. The
Crescent man rallied in the latter half
of the game, but It proved too stern
chase, and Gould had a comfortab bic
margin of seven points. For long
time in the second game the opponents
failed to count a point, the men being
forced "hand-out" on the first service,
but finally Bull ran into streak of
poor control, and with Gould compelling
a faster pace and making all sorts of
dazzling recoveries, Bull failed to make
much Roadway.
Gould's victory assisted Columbia
Club in defeating the Crescents on the
latter's courts by score of matches
to g. Earl Fink and Andrew Baxter,
Jr.. were the only winners for the
Crescents. Fink showing the best form
OF the losing squad in a match with
z. w. Putnam. A puzzling change of
pace and powerful hitting won for Fink
after lack of control had cost him the
opening game

victory of the tournament, this time by

ton players made good fight of 1t, five
of the seven contests requiring extra
games. In the feature Anderson Dana,
who has been runner-up in a national
tournament on three differet occasions,
triumphed over Harold r. Mixsell, the
Princeton Club champion, after three

speed and power aplenty, but the Har-
