Philadelphian
Wins Thrilling
Five-Set Match
Pros Battle to Finish in
Final Round; Score, 6-5,
I 80, SO, Ga, o.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. is. - Jock
Soutar, of the Philadelphia Racquet
Club. won the first professional court
tennis championship of America to-day
by defeating c. J. ("Punch") Fairs, a
former worlds title holder, in the final
match on the Racquet Club courts. The
score was 6-5, 3-6, SIS, 81, 6-2.
Fairs put up wonderful fight
against his younger and more active
opponent. His court strategy was beau
tful to watch, his service was always
puzzling, his stroking amazingly con-
sistent, and some of his "gets" bor-
dered on the miraculous.
Soutar had several lucky breaks when
he met the ball while off balance, and
yet found the dedans or the grille for
an ace. Once Soutar hit the ball from
behind his back as it was whizzing, be-
tween his legs, and, to the astonish-
ment of the gallery, banged it into the
grille.
Fairs Shows Great Skill
On points earned by hard work, clever
generalship and accurate placing Fairs
had the edge, but Soutar's harder hit
ting, greater stamina and court cover
ing ability. plus luck, gave him the
honors, and qualified him to meet Jay
Gould for the open championship of the
United States at the Racquet Club next
Wednesday and Friday.

first five games, and it looked as if he
would romp away with the match, but
Fairs, in the sixth game, rallied, won
two in row. and, though he dropped
the eighth after deuce had been called
twice, came back and won two more,
both keenly contested struggles, with
deuce called three times. Fairs dropped
the racquet at the critical moment in
the final game, however, and lost this,
costing him the set by 6--5 score.
Fairs won handily in the second set,
8 to 8, and rose to his greatest heights
In the third set. After losing the first
game he rallied and collected the next
three. Then he dropped two long drawn
out, hard fought deuce games. The
next game was a bitter struggle, but
Fairs finally won out by some perfect
playing after deuce had been called
four times.
Soutar Pulls Out Set
Soutar won the next two, making the
score 5 to in his favor, but Fairs
braced once more, pulled the tenth
game out of the fire by some wonderful
stroking, and then took the eleventh
game and the set by 6 to 5.
The fourth set was ding dong af

won the next two after desperate
grapple taking the set by to q.
