New-York tribune., 1920-12-29

singles yesterday. on the board floor
at Park Avenue and Sixty-seventh
singles four survivors went into t
was made in the junior doubles.
Vincent Richards, the p aging through
junior champion, was one of those to
score in the singles, and the qualitg of
his pla. indicated that his march TO
a third consecutive holding OF this tte
will be marked by an unbroken string
of victories. AS matter Of fact, |
will be greatly surprised if the Ford
ham University star loses single set
during the tournament.
1t fell to the lot of W. r. Hicks, q
young player of considerab e promise,
to 90 down before Richards's brilliant
attack yesterda. The champion TOOK
the match in strai hit sets at 6-1,
6--1, and at no time did he feel called
upon to let himself out IN the rallies.
Scores From Back Court
Richards's strongest point is volley-
ing, at which he has few, if any, supe-
riors in this country, but so far he
has not found it necessary to go for
the net position with any regularity
doing most Of his point winning from
the back of the court. His forehand
drives carried world of speed and
tremely accurate, so that Hicks rarely
had the opportunity to force his way
in beyond the service court lines.
This morning at 10 o'clock Richards
will play Parke Cummings. the Har-
ward student, and unless the latter
springs an astounding perfo rmance, he
will suffer the fate of all Richardss
mated Willis Geis yesterday. after
keen three-set match, with the score
going at 6--3, Sc. IS, and alth ough
his game was above the average for
juniors, he will have to show vast i'm
provement if he hopes to take a set
from Richards.
William NJ. Aydelotte swept through
his match with C. F. Mathey in i'm
pressive style, running off twelve games
in row and never allowing his oppo-
nent a chance to get started. Ayde-
lotte was hitting every shot hard and
his placing was SO accurate that Mathey
could not cover up the openings IN
his court.
Young Jerry Lang. the P. S. A: l..
champion, won two fine matches dur
ing the day in the singles, first elim-
6-3, and then defeating Charles NJ.
Wood jr., national boy champion, by
score of Cd, Cd.
Lang Playing Fine Game
This Lang boy is coming along fast.
There is nothing sensational about his
work, but he gets results by very we'll
timed placing and taking advantage Of
every slip made by an opponent. lie
was most effective yesterday with his
cross-court volleys from point inside
the service court lines. dozen times
he tricked his rivals by whipping the
ball back at sharp angles, either
squarely to the side lines, or IN tar
corner. Lang is in the opposite halt
from Richards, and his chances OF oelng
u final look very bright.
Two Yale men, A. L. Hopkins and A.
B. Sheridan, met in the third round,
md Hopkins won by a score of 11-9,
O~-4. after truly bitter struggle Both
showed fairly we'll rounded brand of
game. with Hopkins generally winning
the vital points. He and Aydelotte will
meet at 10 o'clock this morning.
Other winner in the junior event
were Jerome J. Tucker, Harry Pickells
and Arthur Orth. Tucker and Pickells
and Orth and Lang face each other this
morning.
The semi -fnalists in the boys sin
giles are William Einsmann, D. D.
Hedekin, Sydney Gittler and Herbert
Bearman. and they will meet in that
order for places in the final round.

paren,ly outclassing the rest OF the
