New-York tribune., 1921-12-31


crowned yesterday when Grevei Ackcr,
of st. Paul's School, Garden City. de-
feated Horace Orser. OF George Wash
ington High School. by score of 6l,
Sc, in the final round of the boys
event.
The victory of Bernstein over Ayde-
lsSte by a score of 6-t, 6--3. came as
the great surprise of the tournament
yet Bernstein won so decisively and so
cieanly that there was no question as
TO his superiority yesterday. 1t is true
,hat Aydelotte was not playing within
half ,15 of his form when he vanouished
Lang on Thur sday. but this was largely
because Bern stems aggressive tactics
and his severe. twisting service forced
the Princeton student into errors.
Harlem Star More Skiifull
Aydelotte found it dangerous to
charge the net against Bernstein, for
the Harlem Tennis Club star timed his
returns so cleverly that his opponent
was continually being caught out of
position by passing shots. The sever
ity and the excellent placing of Bern
STEMS service also tended to place
Ay3elotte on the defensive. this en-
abling his rival to close in quickly in
iVie CUuIL diIO SutCtNeF t!T SftHCc-
tonian's weak returns. The best Ayde-
lotte could do in the first set was to
win the fifth game on his own service.
The second set began with Aydelotte
taking the first game on his service, and
then Bernstein ran off the next four
games by superior all-round play. The
local youth was working change of pace
in q manner that baffled his opponent,
who piled up errors in his anxiety to
score. Many of Aydelotte's returns
found the net, and even when he did
succeed IN keeping the ball in play his
strokes lacked power, making it easy
for Bernstein to score the finishing
shots.
Although he tried hard and forced
i've of the games to deuce, Aydelotte
could not stand his opponent off, and
Bernstein won without ever being in
danger of real opposition. He gave the
impression yesterday that he was still
holding something in reserve.
Dawson's triumph over William
Miles, of Stuyvesant High School. came
with even less difficulty, the Fordham
lad winning by a score of 6--1, 81.
IN the first set and the third in the
second session. and in the other games
he was considerably outpiayed by the
hard-hitting, aggressive play Of Daw
son, VINO seemed always confident os
the final result
Orser Puts Up Plucky Fight
Young Acker proved too good court
general for little Orser, in the final
round of the boys tournament, al
though the local high school boy put
up a plucky fight in the second set,
coming from behind at 03 and fore
ing the games to deuce at Sail be-
fore Acker finally put on the finishing
touches. Greater strength, and steadi-
ness at critical points were vital fac
tors in Acker's victory
The most keenly fought match in the
junior doubles came in the sem-fnal
round match between Whitbeck and
Bernstein and Valentine Gress and
Aydelotte, the former pair only win
ming after three hard-fought sets at
3-6, 6-3, 8-6. The winnrs kept close
to the net in majority of the rallies,
many times forcing their opponents into
back court. but the issue was close all
the way and the tennis was of high
quality for Junior competition.
Lang and Dawson were altogether
too strong and experienced for the
midget team of Kenneth Appel and
John Van Ryn win MING at An 6-1
