DECISIVE SQUASH
VICTORY FOR GOULD
Court Tennis Champion in
Seasons First Effort Beats
Formidable Rival Easily.

That he is to be fSxmidabie con-
tender again this season for the national
squash tennis title lie came SO near
winning year ago Jay Gould, king Of
the court tennis players proved rather
conclusvely in his first competitive APP
pearance of the season on squash court
yesterday. With astonishing decisive
ness he defeated one of the most capable
of the metropolitan players, Charles NJ.
Bull, Jr., of the Crescent Athletic Club,
who for years has been near the top of
the squash tennis ranking. 1t was the
feature match of the Glass A team cham
pionship series between Columbia Club
and Crescent Club, and Gould, play
ing for the former, won at 15--S. 15-9.
What impressed about Gould's play
yesterday was not his dexterity of stroke
or exceptional versatility--he has al
ways had those assets-but the remark
able control he showed despite a whirl-
wind pace. his well-night unerring
judgment of position and his speed both
of foot and stroke. He did not outspecd
Bull. who played right at the top of his
form. but he outguessed and out maneu-
vered him. showed better anticipation
and made his difficult gets" with far
less effort than the Crescent man. He
seemed able to come through with a
perfect return from almost any angle.
1t was a decidedly spectacular con-
test about as fast as any seen on q
local court this season. and there were
not few in the gallery who voted
Gould's exhibition the most proficient
of the Class a tournament to date. The
pace appeared to grow swifter with
every hand. and In the second game the
rallies were sparkling. Gould completed
his fifteen points in the second game
In seven hands, earning seven during
his third tenure of service.
Another splendid match. though no.
as close, in the same series saw r. Earl
Fink surprisingly easy winner over
Frank kidde. The score was 15-1. l5--s.
with Fink playing an alert. versatile.
hard hitting game that was backed by
