New-York tribune., 1921-12-28

advanced to the third round as the S
cent Richards got under way. The S
and IN the afternoon the doubles tour
started play yesterday In the boys
Jsyry Lang. of George Washington
High School, who finished as runner-up
to Richards last year and is among the
strong favorites for the honors this
week, went into the third round by win
ming two matches in straight sets. los
ing only three games out of twenty
srvsn played.
Frequent competition in the senior
tournaments during the last two or
three years has given young Lang the
experience that most of the other con-
tenders lack, and this may prove the
winning edge that will bring Lang into
tbs final round before the week is out.
IN the first round the New York Ten
mis- Club Junior defeated Leonard Ro-
seublum at Go Go, and then he con-
auered Ernest Kuhn at 6-1, 6-a.
Lang Scores on Fine volleys
The ability to move up to point well
inside the service court lines and there
TO cut returns off by sharp, well placed
voiieyiug shots was a great aid to Lang
against his opponents, and from the
back of the court, too, last years
rpnner-up excelled in his ground
strokes. forcing his openings cleverly
before closing in for the finishing
shots.
One of the most keenly contested
meetings of the day resulted in the
first round match between Franklin T.
Osgood, of Dartmouth College, and
Louis B. Bailey jr., of Princeton Uni
versity. Both players are of the hard
stroking, aggressive school, and there
were many clever, fast rallies before
the first break in service came in the
tweDty-fifth game, when Osgood broke
through his opponents service for R
lead OF 13--12. By winning on his own
service in the next session Osgood
took the first set and then continued on
in the second. winning at Cd, but only
after Daley had pressed him des-
perately all the way.
John F. Whtbeck. Yale interscholas-
tie and Long Island junior champion
was another of the favorites to come
through two rounds in impressive
manner Whitbeck first eliminated Roy
Neuberger, OF n. y. u. by score Of
81. 81, and then won in the second
round from Alfred de Lragre at Go
the winner of the second round match
between Osgood and Edgar F. Dawson,
IN what should prove one Of the de-
cisive encounters of the tournament.
No Defaults Marked Up
A feature of the tournament yester-
day was the fact that not single de-
fault was marked up, although a total
OF thirty-three matches was wiped off
the slate. This is the most encourag-
ing showing ever made on the opening
day of this fixture, and speaks we'll for
the interest displayed by the boys.
There will be a new boy champion
crowned this week, since William
E!nsmann, the present title holder, has
Whitbeck jr., Of Bronxville, and Horace
Orser, Of George Washington High
School. look like the leading contenders.
Qrser by winning two matches went
into the semi-hnal brackets.
