(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) matches for the United States when he defeated Gaslini. The Italian waa no match for the New Yorker and the several hundred spectators on hand for the opening of the inter. zone finals were never in doubt as to the outcome. Gaslini showed flashes of form but was not consis- tent while the American used his powerful forearm to advantage throughout.
 Hunter Is Superb
 After the first half dozen games the American. who has seldom been steadier, outclassed the Italian, whose last minute substitution for the ambidextrous De Stefani far from helped the cause of the Euro- pean contenders.
 The American pounded his rivals backhand numerically but did not rely on speed entirely. placing his shots craftily, mixing the pace and keeping his opponent running.
 Hunter pierced Gaslini's service three times in each set, losing his own delivery only once-in the fifth game of the second set. The ltal- ian's pluckiest attempts to rally came in the early stages of the first and third sets, but the offensive col lapsed each time as Hunter refused to yield command of the situation.
 After Gaslini had taken the first game of the match on his service, Hunter quickly checked him and took the lead. The Americans serv- ice was too swift for his opponent and he evened the count at one-all, losing single point in the second game.
 Keeps Opponent Running
 Hunters drives. well-angled and under good control. had Gaslini running and he took the third and fourth games breaking service after deuce had been called once in the third game. The slim Italian with his head kerchief was obviously ner- vous. but displayed good backhand strokes although they were consid- crably softer than Hunters. The American played carefully.
 Again Hunters steadiness pre- vailed and gave him the fifth game and the lead at 4-1. After deuce had been called four times in a series of prolonged rallies. Hunter's : cross court fire proved effective de- spite some good recoveries by his opponent. He then took his own service with the loss of single point to win the first set, 6-l.
 Hunter ree1ed off the first four games of the second set in short or der while the gallery applauded only sporadicallv the one sided encounter. Gaslini's poor control and mex pcrience made Hunters job an easy one. The American pounded his rivals backhand and the rallies were seldom prolonged. Hunter losing only seven points in the four games.
 Gaslini maintained his best aver age again by taking one game. the fifth, with the aid of two fine pass ing shots and an overhead smash. Hunter put on steam and captured the next two games and the set at 6-1.
 Although the Italians defense stiffencd in the third set and hc forced the first three games to deuce before losing them Gaslini curled up before Hunters vicious play in the final three games losing 60. The Amcrican's power almost blasted Gaslini off the courts as his power full forehand drives kicked up spurts Of clay. Hunter won the last game at love. the only game thus won fin the match.
