KASHIO OvERTENNISED
Fails to Impress in Match
With Jerry Lang, Halted
by Rain.

championship fell more than thirty
matches behind schedule yesterday
when for the second day in succession
rain flooded the courts of the New
York Tennis Club at A O'Clock. The
storm came when some of the con-
tending players in the tournament
were engaged in their first or second
round matches and when the gallery
taxed the capacity of the clubhouse
porche5 and sidelines to the limit.
made-as early as IL A. M.-so that
when a halt had to be called forty
five contests had been disposed Of.
Practically all of the first round has
been completed. and two players. Jerome
Minister and H. H. Bachrach are out in
the third round. On the championship
court when the clouds unburdened were
Seiichiro Kashio, who had dropped a
gruelling five set match to Herbert l..
Bowman in the New Jersey champion
ship final the previous day. and Jerome
Lang. one Of the rising set of tennis
stars in the metropolitan district. Only

divided evenly, but the Japanese had to
work hard for his two games, both go
Ing to deuce. with his young opponent
close to taking both of them.
kashio appeared to lack his usual
speed. He was apparently still feeling
the effects of Saturdays hard tussle and
he was not covering court as swiftly as
is his habit. Nor was his control as
good There Is suspicion that the
T.
short rest from competition would ben
eft him greatly. Kashio and Lang are
to start their match all over again to-
day. Lang was playing mighty i'm
pressive tennis as far as 1t went, was
driving steadily and was varying length.
The latter tactics proved effective
against Kashio in the New Jersey final,
and Lang evidently is taking leaf out
Of Bowman's book.
A Romp for Richars.
Vincent Richards, fresh from his
triumph over William T. Tii1en in the
New England championship on Satur-
day, played his first round match, yield
ing just one game to Lawrence Baker.
The latter was not efficient enough to
give Richards the slightest trouble, and
there was scarcely a single long rally in
the contest, II such it may be called.
The one game Richards yielded was
more or less of a gift. Richards is
playing through in defense Of the title
he won year ago. and Is favored to
retain it.
Walter Wesbrook Of Detroit Western
intercollegiate champion and former
Michigan title holder, was another to
win before the rain came. Unlike Rich
ards he had no easy time disposing of
M. I. Ackerland. He led in straight
sets. but the second was very close. ca.
and the Western collegian had to go at
top speed to prevent its loss.
Percy L. Kynaston. Vanderbilt D.
Ward, Alfred d. Hammett, Herbert H.
Manchester, William Rosenbaum, Earle
Backe and I. Biltchik were others who
advanced to the second round With
the exception Of Ward they all scored
IN straight sets. Ward was surprised
by DR.. B. F. Drake in the first set of
their match and dropped 1t at 6--3 DR..
Drake was employing well placed lob
effectively, was covering court with
great agility and was outsteadying Ward
at that stage of the match. Ward con-
tinued uncertain in his handling of lobs
all through the match, but he did not
come to the net so often and he steadied
in his driving. The summaries:
