Taxes Title by Default
In the boys championship singles final
round Einsmann, who halls from Cathe-
dral School of Long Island, took the
title by default over Herbert D. Bear
man, Of Townsend Harris High School
Bearman, 1t appears, was a few davs
over the fifteen year-old age limit and
when questioned by the tournament
committee admitted the fact He de-
clared he had been told that few
days more or less would not make any
difference in his eligibility.

begin Immediately after the finish of
the singles, probably about 1880
o'clock, and this will bring the tourna-
ment TO an official ending.
The games score of the Richards
Aydelotte match is no accurate indica-
tlon of the closcness of the struggle
! that the young Californian put up
! against Richards. No less than seven
of the fourteen games in the two sets
were forced to deuce by Aydelotte, who
was always fighting for every point
RICHARDS, as predicted would prob
ably be the case was forced 20 speed
up his own game to Offset his oppo-
ncnt's aggressive playing.
Yet there was never the. .slightest
doubt as to Richards's ability to win.
The champion always was in command
OF the situation, winning a ma jority Of
ms points on beautiful placing either
down the side lines or across the court.
and when he felt it desirable he clos se !
IN at the net position and fni shed of
the points with splendid volloyins
shots. His service also was going bet

game showed distinct Improvement

Aydelottc Lacks Experience
Aydelotte shows great promise az q
player. and, while inclined to become
crratic through overanxioty at critical
stages, should be able to overcome this
tendency with little added experience.
OF course, amy junior player would
OK weaker than he really is again st
The briliance of young Richards, VINO
seems destined to retain his laurels
this morning.
Lang had q surprisingly easy time
against Pickells, outpluying the Flush
ing lad throughout most OF their match
even though he favored the back Of the
court in the main. The winners judg-
ment was excellent and he was rarely
caught out Of position himself, al
though ever ready to place his own re-
turns into the unprotected spots in
Pickells's court. Lang may give Rich
ards closer struggle than any OF the
other juniors have been able to do thus
far.
With the exception of the Richards
McHugh team, the play in the doubles
was pretty ragged, the boys showing
unfamiliarity with the team game and
making frequent errors Of omission and
commission.
