Richards Defeat Of TiIden at
Hartford Gives Him Con-
fidence for Big Matches.

~ BSERVERS Of the recent
III play Of Vincent Richards,
~ both in the New England
championship at Hartford and in
the Metropolitan clay court, are
inclined to believe that he may
overcome one of the difficulties
that have beset his path to the
highest honors of the court by
capturing the National Clay Court
singles championship at Indianap-
oils this week.
The youthful wizard. though NJ
yet twenty years Of age. has takel
many championships during tn,
four years of his tournament play.
but the three great prizes Of the
game, the National all-comers, the
national clay court and the ma
tional indoor have thus far eluded
his efforts.
His Many Victories.
Richards has been national ju.
nior champion. both indoor and out
door, three times each; he has won
the national doubles, mixed doubles
national indoor doubles, clay court
doubles. as well as many lesser
championships.
| In 1919 he reached the finals in
the clay court and the indoor, but
was defeated in each case by Ro.
land Roberts in the first and vii.
liam T. Tilden I'd in the latter.
But his recent defeat Of Tilden
at Hartford. followed by his de.
cisive victory over Francis T. Hun.
ter, national indoor champion, In
the finals of the Metropolitan, has
given great encouragement to the
belief that his singles career is
about to include victory at Indian.

His play against Hunter, when the
latter was completely overwhelmed
by the ease with which the junior

the hardest drives for placements,
indicates a quality OF play that will
make him q hard man to defeat.

were vain and he shouted for help.
Three swimmers in the vicinity started
for him and Eckstein set out from the
beach. pushing a life buoy ahead Of
him. At the same time Owen kertland
and Charles Murray, life guards,
launched a lifeboat. ..

Monahan were exhausted when they
