M HORBM THE
LOGAL CHAMPION:
i
Defeats Livingston Richey in the j
Final Game of the Singles
Tournament.
Frum Saturday's Iaily.
I'iiul Morgan is wearing the
laurels uf tlii- local tennis cham
pionship, which he earn! d yester
day afternoon at the Patterson
(curl when in the final contest in
the singles lie defeated Livingston
it u hey t hroe set s to one.
The result was an upset in the
dope. No one gave Morgan a
chance, not even himself Itiehev
ims piuyeu an oi tne local play
ers and has healen tlieni when he
Wanted to, ami usually with ease,
lie was the University of Ne
braska champion and won the
interstate contest with Kansas. In
ether words, he was a "shark"
t hat outclassed I he oilier 'near
sharks" here, hut the latter have
been practicing hard and improv
ing in the game, while Richey has
probably tone back from lack of
practice.
Morgan played rattling good
tennis yesterday, while, Richey did
riot play up to standard, hence
bis loss of three straight sets af
ter be bad taken the first, 6-0. The
.score of the second was ftr-3, the
third C-0, the fourth -L j
The first, set showed both men
badly rattled, Richey being a lit
tle bit less that way than his op
ponent. Morgan was "rotten," to
use (he favorite expression of the
fans, and he did not make it in
1 "resting even. It looked at this
stage of the contest that the fans
voiild not gel their money's
worth, though I ho admission was
free.
Paul came back in the second
set with what on the race track
would be called a "rank reversal
of form," and played some great
lennis. He soon had enough
games won lo frighten bis oppon
ent, who was very anxious to take
(he contest in straight sets. The
harder Richey tried the worse he
got. He lost the set, and injhe
third set he probably played' the
poorest tennis be ever showed in
an important match. He did not
get a game in this set. He tried
bard lo "come back'' in the two
remaining sets and showed bril
liant displays of old-lime form,
but his good work was mixed with
a lot of the "rotten" variety. It
was true that Morgan was playing
n mighlv pretty game against, him,
but still Richey missed many
shots which, as a rule, he could
handle with his eyes shut.
The latter part of I he last set
bee ame real exciting from the facl
lhat many limes Morgan was
within one point, of winning the
set and contest. Paul showed
nervousness every lime he had a
chance to get that last point. Tn
this pari of Ihe match Richey was
playing good tennis, but the
handicap was too great for him
and it was almost inevitable that
sooner or later Morgan would gel
the necessary point, and he did.
There has long been much
rivalry between Morgan -and
Richey and a victory would have
lasted very sweet to either of
I hem, but Morgan was charitable
in victory and admitted to his
friends that Richey was off form.
