the armory to ariti ? :irnl round
?natch that ?raa to bring *Vo V.< it
against tht- West, the Fordbam you'.i ,
won by stcilir.g play. As a court]
strategist he outgeneralled Weber, he !
was fully as fast in getting about the
court and he hammered per?t?ter.tly at
his opponent's weak pointi until Weber
faltered and beg*ar. to lose control of
atroke and Judgment of distance.
To those who watched Wcber'i de
feet. It aeemed that the Western youth
was utterly off his usual hard-hitting,
forceful game. But it we? Binsen'
earning in steadily attacking hla op- ?
ponentA rulnerable points and rarely
allowing Weber an opportunity to get
Into position for a "till" that causea
the letter to fall off in Ma play.
In the third set Weber gave his fol?
lowers hope of better things to come?
rle took trie first game at iove on his
0*va service, crashing the ball into Bir.
-<?n's court so swiftly that the Ford
hoa* student had acea scored ag
1 im twice. The games then alternated j
op to S?all, and then Weber, forsaking \
caution and g&ir-ing temporary control
of his drlvata Rr.rl h'-avy nmashos, fairly !
bombarded his way to victory, taking |
the 'tst three games of th,
Thu Chicago boy held the lerid et 2
pames to 1 In the lnst set. and fer a
time It looked as though ht, might pull
the nates out, but he -va? unable to ?
hold his winning ptr^ak. and Binzen I
won the last four gomes in a row play?
ing with equal cleverness from all over ;
the court, and this gave him the 6et, j
match and championship.
Where he had been strongest In his ;
playing on Thursday, ar.d on the earli?
er days of the tournament, Weber was I
wofuliy weak yesterday. His severe ;
service was running wild, and eleven I
times in the first set he made double-1
faults, an Indication of thi
whleh he tossed away valuable points, j
Instead of serving bia second ball with j
more caution and makinp certain of the '
delivery, the Chicago boy put every?
thing ho had ir.'c the ?hot, with the ?
result that the ball cither larvM a
foot ontside of the service court or I
fell Into the net.
Blnien did not make fhe mistake o?
offering his opponent short lobs, but
played these shots very deep, so that
Weber either had to remain anchorr-i
on his base line or else, being caught
unawares at the net. was compelled to
race back and ntt.err.pt to make the re?
turn when drawn "ut of position.
Occusionally the Andovr ?*ar got his
racquet or. these lobs* at Jj3t the right
angle and sent the ball crashing back
te n'.s opponent. Binzen refused to be
fl?steren, however, and kept lobbing
with great eteadlneaa and remarkable.
precision, until finally Wob? r broke
tinder the strain und lo'it the points
with wild smashes
King Smith sat in the umpire's eha.r
when the match hojar., and William
t'unr.lr.gham, Ptv.'i? Tup match referee, j
presided ai ehief linesman. Binzen be- \
gan the service, and took the first game ,
aftor device had been called once. |
Weber won the eeeond came or. I
service, and tl s bojrs fought along
evenly up to 2?all. Then Binden
started playing his drives deep, (on log
Weber back from the net, and vent
b into the lead at 4?2 on games. The ?
[| ''hicago player took the seventh game,
9 but Ma opponent broke through his
service in the next, end won trie last |
game on his our. delivery, giving him ?
the set at 8?8.
A long deuce game opened the sec?
ond set, with Binden ftoally winning, I
but th?-n Weber began an T.petuous ,
Attack from midcourt, and won the next j
three gamos in a row, Bti
only I The Fordhoni bey did
not permit this t? nipornry ?elhaok to :
alter hit? plan of campaign, however,
and kept shooting his drives to Weber's
bnekhund, which he found was a vul- ?
nerable point. They were even again !
at 8? all, at 4 -all and at "? all, and'
then Binron broke through Weber'e
service in the eleventh game and won
the lust on hii own soirie* at love, i
acoring boontifal jilacement aces mi
two pi his
With defeat imminent, Weber
showed his couruge by coing back after
the rest period with increased vigor
in the third set. By nn etfort, he got
his smashing service under leash, and
followed in to the Into 'he net quickly
to finish tho points. The gun,..- at
ternaU'd up to It all. and then Wobei
let out an extra hut<t of ??peed and
Jan out the set a' ?'? 6,
?lnzcn woa the t-.r.-t game of the
last ret at love, on his service, and
then two ?ooperately fought deuce i
rames were won by Weber, who was

v;ith a rush, winning the last five
gaines with a bewildering series of
passing drive? und alashlag ?hots '
the fore court.
While according full credit to Bin- !
: en for Che manner in which
bo gained bia victory yesterday, it'
be ?aid fot Weber that board
lloors are new to htm. and that his
slaving arm was painfully strained
earlier in the week and must have
him troubl?. durit.g the cham?
