Gallery on Edge.
Cutting and Gould had a large gall
lerv on edge throughout their exhibition
of everything that goes to make the
game spectacular Gould, with his won
derSul dexterity OF stroke, sxilful posi-
ton play and battling change OF pace.
held the upper hand for two games and
looked like a certain winner. He took
the first game at 15--1f and the second
at 15--i, despite the speed of Cuttings
covering of court and his powerful hit
ting No matter how difficult the angie
Gould appeared able to get the ball back
safely. Frequently. too, when appar-
emily out OF position he not alone kept
the rally going but turned defensive
stroke into winning point.
Little wonder then that when the third
game opened only few in the gallery
gave Cutting much chance of ultimate
victory. There were some, however, VINO,
having in mind the suddenness with
which Gould's effectiveness deserted him
in the national squash tennis champion
ship recently, predicted that the court
tennis champion would have to win In
straight games or be compelled to ad-
nit defeat They proved to be right
Cutting. trained to the minute, realized
that his best chance lay in speed. speed
and then more speed. He had set 4
fast pace from the start, but it was
slow compared to the aggressive attack
that he launched in the third game
Gould. having expended good deal OF
energy In holding the lead In the first
two games, was unable to answer cut
ting's whirlwind challenge. Forgetting
all about change of pace, Cutting made
the ball rattle off the walls so fast that
at times the eye was unable to follow
the flight of the ball. Gould. slow to
cover ground. h1d to permit shot after
shot to fit by that early In the match
he had had no trouble in handling, and
with Cutting gaining speed and strength
In the proportion that Gould was losing
1t the result was inevitable.
The turning point came In the eighth
hand Of the third game. when Gould
was leading 6 points to 8. Lagging no.
ticeably, Gould was unable to meet Cut
tings service, much less keep the rallies
going. Not another point was Gould
able to place to his credit during the
game. his rival in the meantime count
| Ing II I'm four hands For four hands
In the fourth game Gould also went
scoreless Then he sudd emily rallied and
scored seven aces in two hands taking
the lead at 10.
II proved. however. to be the last ef-
fective flash on the part OF the court
tennis champion. Forced to abandon
the aggressive again. Gould scored only
seven points to Cuttings thirty during
| the remainder of the match. In the
! final game Gould was so tired that he
missed seven of Cuttings serves entire
| " and the latter earned the game In n
| fifty, scoring three points the first
hand. three in the second. five in the
third and four in the fourth, the game
lasting scarcely more than three min
utes As In the squash tennis final lack
of stamina had proved Gould's only fall
ing. but II was too big handicap TO
| overcome.
