New-York tribune., 1920-08-31

Gamers win yesterday as an upset,
Gamer has been showing continual i'm
provement within the past month of
play and his unusually great reach is a
valuable asset to him when he faces
the net position. Hayes, besides being
beyond the age at which he can EXPECT
TO play his best tennis, has never fig
ured prominently on the turf surface,
all his greatest victories having been
scored on clay courts.
Gamers Hard Hitting Wins
AS long as he could keep Gamer away
from the net with beautifully placed
drives through deep court Hayes was
successful, and this he did in the sec
ond and third sets, but Gamers hard
hitting and his aggressive volleying
and smashing finally won, the Bos-
tonian taking the match at 4-6, 6-2,
60, G-4
Many Of the second string favorites
for the title rushed through their
matches yesterday at great pace, evil
dently feeling that they could afford
to force matters and still have plenty
of strength in reserve for the remain
der of the week
5. Howard Voshell, for instance, de-
feated Hugh L. Nehring at 6-l, 60,
o-2, volleying and smashing with ali
the speed and sting at his command.
wallace r. Johnson, of Philadelphia,
the chop stroke wizard, stuck right to
his guns in his match with Alexander
Her. winning by score of 6--1. 6-l.
6-4.
Her was going fairly we'll in the
first two sets, and much better than
that in the final session, yet he could
not make much headway against the
tricky and remarkably accurate play
OF johnson, whose eye was very keen
yesterday as he kept cutting the chalk
marks with his returns
Charles S. Garland, of Pittsburgh.
as though to make amends for some of
his disappointing play of the last two
or three weeks, overwhelmed J. P.
stockton, of New Jersey, by a score of
60, 60, 6-1, making so few errors
that his opponent had to earn every
one OF his points, and they were few.
Roberts Has Real Fight
Roland Roberts, the meteoric son Of
the Golden West, had real fight on
his hands in his opening set against
Cedric A. Major, but then he let loose
with all his formidable battery Of over
head shots and swept his rival off the
court in the last two sets, the score
being 12-10 6-2, 6-1.
James D. Ewing, one Of the younger
school, gained a good win over the
veteran Frederick C. Inmany the sets
going at IL. rs, 81, 3-6, 6-3.
Inman, of course, is far from the fine
player he was some years ago, when
metropolitan champion. His speed and
endurance have deserted him to a great
extent, yet he is still master Of court
craft and dangerous as long as he is
able to cover his court with q fair
show of speed. Young Ewing's triumph,
therefore, was we'll earned.
Percy L. Kynaston, of Rockville Cen
ter. defeated Henry B. O'Boyle by a
score of 60. 6--1, e-2, his furiously
aggressive style Of play, so we'll known
on local colrts, being more than
O'Boyle could stand against. With
Kynaston it was nothing but terrific
drive, lightning volley and Cannon
ball" smash. Murray Vernon will be
Kynaston's next opponent.
Once more did the committee in
charge of the great tournament WELD
master hand in the staging of the
event. Referee Adee, aided by Julian
S. Myrick, president of the u S. l.. T.
A; Edwin Fuller Torrey, vice-presi-
ent; George w. Wightman, treasurer;
Empires Association; A J. Gibney
and an alert staff of assistants had
every detail running without hitch.
The schedule of matches was marked
by the clock, and everything went of
with clock-work regularity. Every
match had an umpire and linesmen,
and. if it is possible, the tourney was
even more successfully conducted than
last year.
Courts In Fine Condition
Mike Brazil the head groundsman,
and George Miller, the man who put
up the stands, had no small part in
making the opening day success The
courts, particularly those inside the
grandstand enclosure, vera in wonder
full condition, owing to the pasnstak-
