The first big upset in the national
racquets championship, in progress at
the Racquet and Tennis Club, came yes
terday afternoon when A. S. Cassils, of
Montreal, former Canadian champion,
and Jay Gould, of Philadelphia, who
was made hot favorite for the title,
were eliminated in the second round of
play. Fred Frclinghuysen of this city
disposed of the Canadian and Fulton
Cutting, also local player, defeated
Could
Only four matches were played, and
IN the other two Clarence c. Pell, the
defending champion, and S. G. Morti-
ner, of Tuxedo Park, were the victors,
row, when Frelinghuysen meets Pell
and Mortimer opposes Cutting.
Frelinghuysen, after dropping the
first game to Cassils by 11~-15 attained
playing form which ne had never be-
fore flashed on local court, and won
the next three with wide margin,
15-9, 15-9, 15-S. He outplayed Cas-
sils in every department and displayed
amazing speed and change of pace.
Canadian Slow Throughout
The Canadian star appeared slow
even in the single game nc won. He
was constantly in difficulties and could
do nothing Il all with the wicked serv-
ice of the .ocal man. Frelinghuysen
had world of speed and his place
ments were OF unusual excellence.
Cassila was caught out of position
often because of his opponents fine
shots, but time and again he missed,
due to his inability to cover the court
with his usual degree of speed.
Fulton Cutting required five games
to halt the versatile Gould, and once
again it was simply a matter of the
winner playing the better game. Gould
sonably expected; in fact, he had
numerous opportunities which he
JAILED to press, for Cuttings service
was not particularly brilliant, but try
as he would the court tennis champion
could make no Roadway against Cut
ting. The score was Ills, 15-4,
,i-15, 15-6, 15-3.
Gould piled up a fairly good lead in
the opener, but Cutting came strong
in the closing innings and nearly over
took the Philadelphian. who won with
our points 20 spare. The second game
vas virtually a walkover for Cutting,
who scored almost at will. Gould was
not only slow but he seemed to have
forgotten all of the tricks of the game
which he usually displays to great ad
vantage.
Fails to Press Advantage
He played much better racquets in
the third session. but it mus be said
Cutting eased up after his strenu-
Gus work in the preceding frame. In
the fourth Gould again faltered, and
IN the last game he was helpless be-
fore the dash and speed of Cutting,
who went to the front early and
emerged with lead of 15-3.
Peil had good workout at the ex-
pense of II. MADDEN, winning in
straight games. 1T, 15-3, 15-7.
The champion was never extended, but
he played consistently throughout and
at no time did MADDEN have chance
10 win. Pell's drives were fine and he
played the ball around the corners in
great style. The champion made sew
rral excellent gets and seldom could
MADDEN place The ball out of his OPP
ponent's reach.
New Workers now have the tourna-
ment all to themselves, for the passing
Of Cassis and Gould was also accom-
named by the elimination Of E. H.
Reynolds, of Chicago, who was de-
feated by Mortimer, local player.
Mortimer, like Pell, made quick work
Of his opponent, taking the first three
games.
