Harvard Club
PlayerBeats
Baker, of Yale
Victor Earns Right to Meet
Fink, of Crescent A. C.,
for the Championship
By lack Masters

Ralph G. Coburn, of the Harvard
Club, defeated Donald S. Baker, of the
Yale Club, in the semi-tinal match OF
the annual handicap tournament of
the National Squash Tennis Associa-
tion yesterday afternoon on the far
ward Club courts Coburn won /,
straight sets and will meet r. Z. Fink,
of the Crescent A. c., tomorrow after
noon in the final cup game.
Yesterdays contest was marked by
listless, almost indifferent play on the
part of both contestants. Both men
were decidedly off their usual good
form, Bakers action being particularly
slow, not to saw awkward. Coburn
scored 16-6, 15-7 and 15--10 victories
handicap title, but on form display the
Harvard man was mere shadow Of
the Coburn who last week climinated
the brilliant Anderson Dana from the
tournament.
AS for Baker, he has never been
known to play so poorly since he
joined the ranks of the class A play
ers. Coburn did not serve up to his
usual standard, but Baker was utter
lw at loss on returns and fozzled
the simplest kind of shots. Again.
Coburn's kills were not far removed
from those Of a class 3 player; still
Baker yesterday afternoon. In other
words, Baker and Cob1rn clashed
when each had reached the lowest ebb
of his game, and because Coburn's
game has always been slightly better
than that of Baker. the Harvard man
emerged the victor.
The players frequently collded with
the ball, and there was a conspicuous
absence of the capacity and agility
which both had evidenced in the early
rounds of play. Baker was rated at
scratch and Coburn started from the
minus two mark.
Form reversals have been SO nu-
merous in the present tournament that
it would require the vision of a jurv
of "second-sighters" to even suggest
the winner of the final match, but this
much is assured: Coburn will have TO
improve at least so per cent over the
week end if he hopes to defeat Fink
tomorrow, unless, of course, the Cres-
cent star also INDUCES in a backward
somersault.
Last season, when Fink was Just
Coburn, the veteran, defeated him
even, but now Fink has reached the
point where he is rated minus 5, while
Coburn has dro I d back to scratch,
and from these -acts 1t would seem
that Fink would capture the trophy
but. s stated in the above paragraph
and in view of the queer twists the
game has taken during the last few
weeks, we would not wager a ticket
to the Aquarium on either player.
To-morrow's match begins at 5 p. m
