SQUASH LEADERS
ARE HELD TO TIE
Yale Club Fails to Win for
First Time in Class Il
Tourney.
STANDING or THE CLUBS.
By SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

After eight straight victories Yale
Club was checked yesterday in It's adj
vance toward the Class r metropolitan
squash tennis championship. The Eli
graduates did not meet defeat, but the
best they could DO was to split six
matches evenly with the Columbia Club
squad on the latter's courts. and the re-
suit now depends on the contest be-
tween John A. Victor OF the Yale Club
and +. VI. Simonds. Jr.. of the Columbia
Club, which was postponed until to-mor-
row. Whether or not Victor finally
earns the deciding point for Yale. the
series is by far the closest the league
leaders have had this season.
r. V. Mahon, w. A. Klnbel and Har-
old Keilock were the winners for Co
lumbia. while Joseph Walker Sd. Lind
say Bradford and a. c. Schermerhorn
scored for Yale. Only one of the six
matches required extra games and in
that one Kirnbel saved Columbia Club
from defeat by outscoring J. +. Troun-
stine. who lost control and speed after
promising start. The surprise OF the
meet was the triumph OF II. V. Mahon
over Reginald Roome OF the Yale Club,
one Of the strongest OF the visiting play
ers. Roome's game petered out after he
had forced his opponent to the limit In
the opening game. and In the second
division of play he failed to score
point.
Another close series developed on the
courts OF the Harvard Club, where the
Crescent Athletic Club squad was
beaten by four matches 70 three. The
Brooklynitcs made strong bid for VIC
tory and carried several OF their losing
contests to extra games. but failed 20
hold'an early lead. The defeat practi-
10 r.sre ne 10
ming so far rs the title 10 concerned Co
lurnbia is the only club that now has a
chance 20 beat Yale Club for the cham
pionship. To do no Columbia must beat
Yale and must depend on some other
club repeating thnt performance. In the
match that decided the victory for Har-
ward over Crescent. 10. H. Heminway
was outpiayed by the veteran N. +. Tor
rance In the first game. but wore his
rival down by the speed OF his attack In
the second and third divisions OF the
tuasle.
In the third series Of the day Prince
ton Club won seven strnigh. matches
2. ON the u. n. u. Club. but was ex-
tended In five OF them. the fraternity
players giving n much better account OF
themselves than the score indicates.
