bowed to Philadelphia in the OPENING
intercity racquet matches at the Phila-
delphia Racquet Club to-day by three
matches to one.
Jay Gould, amateur court tennis
champion of the world, paired with
George Fl. Brooke, the former Penn
sylvania football star and coach.
They defeated Clarence c. Pell and H. .
Morgan of New York in the first team
match, three sets to one, 12-15, 15-3.
1915, 17--16.
Cramer Roberts and w. ]. McGlinn
took the second match. They sprang
surprise by defeating Stanley G.
Mortimer and F. T. Frelinghuysen of
New York in three sets. 15-9. 15-10
and 15--5.
Stanley w. Pearson, Pennsylvania
state champion at squash racquets and
former national titleholder, paired with
Bernard Bloch won the third match

Charles Bromley-lost to H. Haddon
and N. w. Noel of New York in straight
sets. 1s-l6, 15-s, 15-12.
In the Could Brooke match against
Pell and Morgan the New Workers won
the first game, but the Philadelphans
came back in fine style and took the
next three and the match. Brooke
staged wonderful come back. The
former national champion proved that
he is still very much in the game.
Mortimer and Frelinghuysen. who last
week won the Canadian racquets cham
pionship at doubles, failed to win a
single game from their Philadelphia
rivals, McGlinn and Roberts. McGlinn
has been very active in the recent court
tennis championship and has not had
much opportunity for practice, but he
rose to the occasion to-day.
Roberts learned the game at the
Charter House. famous English
school, and entering the British service
during the world war rose to a cap
taincy. Though he has been playing
racquets for only two years in this
country he has good style and brilliant
play. The rallies were fashy. and in
the pinches McGlinn, by fine head
work. aided the more brilliant work
of his partner.
Bloch and Pearson. another Phladel-
pha pair, won in straight games from
l.. du Pont Irving and Winston Much
of the credit goes to Bloch. He has a
reliable service but is inclined to be
erratic. In Pearson he had partner
who steadied him.
His service was excellent and some Of
his returns were remarkable. Pearson.
who has been in training for the ma
tional squash championship, a title he
held until last year. has had little rae
uuets practice this year. but the game he
played to-day was the best he has shown
in the two years he has been playing the
game.
The fourth match was somewhat of a
disappointment as the Phladelphians
Bromley and Eckert. failed to win a
game, all three going to Hadden and
Noel
Owing to the illness of J. w. Wear,

were necessary. Eckert. who is n new
conner at racquets. but who shows much
promise. did not play as well as ex-
