New-York tribune., 1922-09-20

The men played the first set on
Monday and then had to stop on ac-
count of darkness. Yesterday they
'>s3ss -vStk the second set and played
on almost even terms, with Rosen-
baum having the winning punch" in
the crises. Four times in the last set
Won Bernuth was within a point of
victory, only to see his opponent draw
level by virtue of some particularly
brilliant bit of play.
Fifteen minutes after finishing with
Won Bernuth DR.. Rosenbaura started
his fourth round match against How
ard Kinsey, of California, but after
playing two or three games the men
were forced to stop because Of dark
ness. The winner of this match will
take his place in the vacant semi-final
bracket in the upper half, along with
Kynaston. while Alfonso and Lang will
meet to-day in the lower half.
Alfonso at Top Form
Alfonso came through in spectacular
form against S. E. Palmer, of the
Montclair Athletic Club, winning by a
score of 6--1, 9-7. In the opening
set the Spanish star was going at a
furious pace, his volleying being the
feature Of his work as he stormed the
net, The tussle was closer, however,
than the games score would indicate,
Palmer forcing many of the rallies to
great lengths.
In the second set Palmer did better,
covering his court to such good effect
and making such surprising recoveries
of Alonso's carefully placed shots that
ne forced the games to Tall before
the internationalist could break through
and take the last two games, for the
set and match.
Lang continued his fine playing yes
terday by defeating H. G. Tremalne at
4-6, Sc, 6-1, his opponent weaken
ing in the last set as result OF the
chasing Lang compelled him to do all
through the match Young Lang 1ndl-
Gated by his work yesterday that he
may give Alfonso q great battle to get
into the final round.
Kynaston could not afford to take
anything for granted in his match with
Ralph De Mott, of Hoboken, the lat
ter pressing so closely that Kynaston
won only after the sets had reached
81, Cd. 1t was mainly the winners
ability to come inside the service court
lines and angle his returns sharply
that brought him through, and his
deep court driving close to the side
lines also helped Kynaston to hold De
Mott in check. The Hoboken player,
however, proved a most agile court
coverer, recovering many shots that
Kynaston thought had been put safely
away.
In the women's singles Miss Mar
garet Grove, Of New York, won her
final round bracket, where she will
meet the winner Of the semi-fnal
match in the lower quarter between
Miss Marie Wagner and Miss Caroma
Winn. In the third round Miss Grove
vanquished Miss Dorothy Brand at
6--3, 6--1, and in the semi-final she
conquered Mrs. G. b. Hirsch at Cd,
GO, Miss Brand possessed a speedy
forehand drive, and made sone great
recoveries off her backhand, but over
anxiety frequently led her into errors
against Miss Groves splendidly accu-
rate play. Mrs. Hirsch put up spir-
tied resistance also, but Miss Grove
always held the upper hand.
Two for Miss Wagner
Miss Wagner won two matches dur.
ing the Afternoon, first defeating Mrs
j. c. Collingwood, of Staten Island, at
Go, Go, and then winning from Mrs
W. IL. Pritchard by score of 6-1
o-l. In both these matches the cup
holder was always superior, both in
her position play and in her stroking
and her shots were uniformly so skill
fully angled as TO keep her opponents
guessing in both matches as to where
the ball was going.
In reference to her match on Mon.
day against Miss Edna Hauselt Miss
Wagner asked that correction
be made in the statement that
in the last set, when the umpire or
dered the point replayed because O,
interference by photographer on the
side lines, Miss Hauselt needed only
ono point for the matcn. Miss Wagner
claimed that she was leading at the
time of the discussion and that con
sequently the decision had no immedi
ate bearing on the final result.
Miss Caroma Winn, who is in the
bracket in the lower semi-fnal with
Miss Wagner, defeated Mrs. Theodor,
sSohst, of New York, yesterday after :
keenly played three-set match, the set!
going at 6-3, 2-6, Cd, with both hit
ting freely throughout.
