doubles champion, and Jerry Lang, the
schoolboy who was runner-up to Rich
ards in. the national meet, resulted in
some particularly brilliant playing.
Bshr finally conquered Lang after
three hard-fought sets, 1913, 6-3,
6-3
Lang started out like house afre
and gave Behr all kinds of trouble in
Io enaoI anili+yy and
rare accuracy of placement, which con-
stantly kept his opponent off balance,
and had the schoolboy maintained this
stride he would have gone far before
being eliminated. Behr went along
smoothly and when Lank wilted in the
second he went into the lead to win
by safe margin.
