Go to Voshell
And F. C. Baggs
Fiercely Contested Five
Set Match on Court at
Westchester
R> PUD HAWTHORN!*.
Frederick C. Raggs and S. Howard
Voshell won the annual invitation lawn
tennis double? on the turf course of
the Country Club of Westchester yes?
terday afternoon by defeating Fred
erick ?'. Inman and Lyle Kvans Mshan
in a fiercely contested ti\e-set match at
4 ti. 6 ". 0 ti, \t 7, 8 ti. Inman and
Mnhan ?von the tournament last year
by defeating the men who vanquished
'hem yesterda;., and tins served to keep
both t?am? on edge throughout the long
struggle.
(juite apart ?"rom the spectacular
play, yesterday's match was the most
remarkable that has been fought out
this season Fifty-tive games were con
tOOtod, and the losing pair ?-on one
more game than their opponents. A
total of "City noint? was played, snd
here again Inman and Mahan, although
?lef?ated. made two more points than
Raggs and Vo?nell, the score reading
164 to 15-'.
Each Tia?er Shines
Each of the four players had hi?
perious of particular brilliance, but
Voshel! and Mahan were a bit above
the others in this respect. Voshell, sl
n?: ? a hard hitter, outilid himself yes?
terday, and. combined with great speed.
he had unusually tine control of all his
shots. Overhead he was a terror to
Inman and Mahan, sending the ball
cannonading through the court with
tremendous imaahos His driving was
also aoov?? the average, and his snappy,
decisive volleying from fore-eourt
earned many points.
To make his offensive armament com?
plete. Voshell had his I icious service
going like a bul!? :, scoring what were
prseticnlly four ?ervice aces in the last
'? game of the mater.. Inman snd Mahan
?ore handy able to got their racquets
to the ball in each cas??.
Mahan el I with Voshell in the
ami deadlines-! ???f his smashing,
and his sharp, low roHoyiOg to the cor?
ners of the -arrviee court was continual?
ly catching the opposing pair out of po?
sition. Mahan a!?o drove splendidly
?ioAn the llde court, making it doubly
difficult for Bogga and Voshell to reach
the net at times.
Ionian's work at the net left little to
!>e desired. He was wonderfully quick
in picking out his openings, and the
. it IM imported to most of h.s ,.ho;
gOVC the ball tricky buundi on the soft
turf that caused Voshell and Baggs
lots of trouble.

to flights of wildaoaa, doping which he
