Bad breaks" in the play that would
have served to upset less courageous
player. In the second set voshen led
al 6--5 and SO, two points from vic
tory, and on his own terrific service, a
service that had been giving Shimidzu
trouble all the way through the match.
Matters looked hopeless for the Japa-
nese at that stage, but he proved his
mettle in the crisis by coming through
with four successive placement aces in
row, two OF them won by deft. little
sap shots to Noshell's feet as the lat
ter Was within four feet of the net.
Having pulled that game out of the
Are, Shimidzu went ahead and took the
next two games for the set at Sc.
Again in the last set Voshell held the
lead at 80, 81, at which stage he
also led at 800. Once more did Shi-

Miss Goss Also Wins
Next TO this event, the victory Of
Mss Eleanor Goss over Mrs. Edwin A.
Falk, New Jersey champion, in the
hns round Of the women's singles, by
score Of 63, Is, held the interest
of the largest gallery Of the week
Previous to this Miss Goss had van
pushed Miss Martha Bayard, of Short
Hills, \. j., by q score of So, 6-l,
willie Mrs. Falk was taking the measure
OF Mrs. c. Y. Hitchins at e, Cd,

Miss Bavard made a wonderfully
brilliant fight against Miss Goss in the
first set of her match, actually leading
at Sd and 800, but her strength was
rot equal 10 the task of holding her
ornonent in check, and Miss Goss took
the game and eventually the set by
dins Of d furiously aggressive attack.
In the last set Miss Bayard was de-
eisiycly outpiayed as Miss Bayard in

terms by sensational work at the net
Leonard Beeknian worked his way
into the final round of the mems singles
BY defeating Theodore r. Pell at 50,
-. and stands ready to meet the
winner Of the other semi-fnai round
msten between Yoshell and Charles
Garland. 1t is impossible to say when
tae,c two matches will be played, how
ever. for both Garland and Voshell go
TO Providence tomorrow morning to
compete IN the great invitation tour
nament there.
The women's doubles finals between
Mr. Lewis Gouverneur Morris and
Miss Helen Gilleaudeau and Mrs.
Gichius and Miss Florence Ballin was
rot played to day, owing to an accident
taat hefeH Miss Balm yesterday when
she fell Oh tho court and suffered a
severely sprained knee. An indefinite
prStponcment WAS necessary as a re-
sult.
Tournament a Success
pne mems doubles was also left Nn-
completed. and Will have to go over
until a more favorable opportunity. In
spite of these misfortunes, largely the
result of the rainy weather in the early
part OF the week, the tournament has
been eminently successful from com
petitivc standpoint and Marshall Bacon
and J Duane Pell, who had charge of
affairs az the Field Club, deserve full
credit
There is 10 room here to 90 INTO de-
tails concerning the Nosheli-Schl dla
match, but ! shall Try to give an idea
o. how the match was won and lost
and q general outline of how Vosheil
accomplished his feat.
Voshell started the service, and it
vas at once apparent that the tremen-
dous speed and pace on the ball were
going to worry Shimidzu right through
70 the end. 1t was evident, too. that
Eoshcll was going to place all reliance
on that service and IA persistent attack
at the net. The turf court was so
hesvy from recent rains that the foot
ing was treacherous and the bounds of
the ball most erratic. Playing mostly
from ground strokes, Shimielzu felt this
handicap more than his opponent, al
though it must be remembers that
Noshell was under an extra strain in
reaching the yol1eying position quickly
under the conditions.
While his service stood out ss his
most valuable asset, Voshell made no
less than Fifteen double faults in the
three sets but en- spite OF this his de-
livery enabled him to follow in behind
and practically smother Shimidzu's
weak, slow returns. The japanese
wen the second, third and eighth
games, his most effective shots being
backhand straight down the side
forehand drive across court. Shimidzu
also did finely when he came up to the
net to volley or smash, but Voshelf was
hitting gvch swift pace, and always
forcing kie issue, that he took the first
set at 6-~S.
Net Game Beats Shimidza
1t was simply question in my mind
whether the American could maintain
mis- net-storming attack to the end.
II he could. then he would probably
win, for the net game is the one cal
cuiated to defeat Shimidzu.
Japanese Changes Tactics
The Japanese changed his tactics
slightly at the start of the second set.
Seeing that Voshel didn't like q
softly played shot, Shimidzu softened
MS pace considerably and, sure
enough. Voshell began to drive his
returns out, not being able to stroke
the ball accurately. Both men were
surviving desperately, Noshel, as he
oegan TO feel the strain OF his forcing
tactics, and Shimidzu, as nc scented
aight slowing UP in mis- opponent s
Vcshell began to play deliberately
ppetween points, as he sought to save
ms strength. He refused to be hur-
REQ, and little Shimidzu was always
.Maiong IN position before Soshell
soos his place. Slowly the Japanese
Pulled even, ahead. and into the lead
az o-3. Voshell then let out burst
i pt speed and drew level and then
