On Saturday, June 10, at Boston the Church Cup Matches were fought out, resulting in a victory for the New York team. Boston was repre- sented by the following sterling play- ers, R. N. Williams who played num- ber 1, Lawrence Rice, N. W. Niles, G. C. Caner, H. C. Johnson, Irving Wright, and Richard Harte. The New York teams line-up reads like a Davis Cup Team for we find that Vinny Rich- ards, Watson Washburn Shimidzu, Hunter, Voshell, Hall, and Sam Hardy were among those present. Interest seemed to center on the match between Richards and Rice, for it was remembered by all that Rice had beaten Vinny in Bermuda last April, but, alas for poor Rice, Vinny was unbeatable and won easily at a 6-3, 6-4 gait. Williams defeated Washburn, who, with Hall, were the only New York players to lose. I should like to present another Japanese player whom you all know, but whom you have not counted on very much, along side of Kumagae, and Schimidzu. His name is Seiichiro Kashio and he has just turned in a victory over Frank Anderson, beat- ing him to the tune of 6-3, 1-6, 6-1, 6-1. It seems that Kashio has been fol- lowing the instructions given him by his two illustrious countrymen, and has developed a game that bids fair to carry him up the ladder this yvear. We must bear in mind that last year when he played Richards he got only game in Two sets, and I've seen Anderson carry Vinny along rather strenuously, in fact last winter at The Ritz Carlton, I was forced to announce from the Umpires Chair that Mr. Anderson was the winner, on two different occasions. It has been my custom to mention in these pages the latest news con- cerning our own Molla Mallory, and France's own Suzanne Lenglen, so, with your approval, I desire to in- form you that Molla had her revenge last Saturday. She defeated Mrs. Beamish, who had beaten her on their previous meeting. The reports state that Molla played superbly, and that she was a popular winner, she deserved the scores of 6-3, 6-4 which she received. I fail to find any notices this time from Suzanne about Molla's game, but I do hear that Suzanne is going to take a good rest, before en- tering the Wimbledon matches. Guess she will need a longer one when she gets through chasing Molla's drives. Lucien Williams of Chicago, Cap- tain of the Yale Tennis team, won the Connecticut State Title last week at New Haven. It is hoped Williams will start in the Illinois State tourna- ment at Skokie on June 26. He would go far, for his game at present is very good. Tilden seemed to have an off week, IT can't tell you that he has won about a couple of titles, for he only played in an exhibition match with young Bettens. Possibly he is giving some of the others a chance, any way we will see him at Skokie soon, and I'll speak to him about his seemingly lazy week, and his failure to send me the expected list of winnings. A TRUE STORY Once upon a time there was a young boy visiting his uncle who lived in the Middle West. This young- ster was having a lot of fun playing round his uncle's farm and was on his vacation. His home was in the East. The story goes on from here, with the local plans for the 4th of July celebrations, ete. The town council decreed that it would be a safe and sane 4th of July, with sporting events. It was further decreed that the township champion of tennis should be called upon to play.

THUM COMPANY 1 Grand Rapids, Mich. wn RDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 began to halt a bit. No opponent could be found, as the champion had everyone licked for miles around. So it came to pass that the champ walked the village streets telling the world he couldn't be beaten. Well, you may guess that the uncle in the story knew that his little nephew was just a bit of a tennis player and he asked his nephew if he would like to play the village hero, just to keep the 4th of July celebra- tion going. You're right! the match was arranged; only it was not told the champion that he was to play a boy. No one knew a thing about the boy's tennis ability. Let us get on to the scene of the battle. A tennis court a bit rough; an old net and the entire court sur- rounded by autos, trucks, and farm wagons. The Champ enters the court. Much blowing of horns. He bows, he poses, he looks for his opponent. He spies a youngster in kneebreeches walking towards him lugging a racket, accompanied by a man, the boy's uncle, who tells the Champ that, "This is your opponent." The Champ glared at the boy and ex- claimed "What is this, a joke?" and turning to the boy's uncle asked him if the kid knew how to keep score. On with the match! The boy swiftly and surely piled up the points and as the games came his way, aroused the ire of all the spectators save his uncle and one or two others, who were in on the "Know" and who had staked quite a few pennies on the boy. In conclusion it is written in the town history that the champion lost to the boy and that there was quite considerable feeling shown at the end of the match. That many pop bottles were thrown at the boy as he left the field or victory. Oh yes. Who was the boy? His name was VINCENT RICHARDS, other names, dates and places with- held.
