LARNED DEFEATS DOHERTY.
Wins Charrplonehlp Round at New
port , Three Sets to One.
Newport , H. I. , Aug. 28. For the
third time in eight years English aspirations
tlp
pirations for the highest American
tennis honors In singles have been
tcd
dashed when they seemed almost
within reach of the persistent frrclgn-
| rs , for yesterday William A. Lamed
of ) Summit , N. J. , successfully de
fended bis tltlo as champion by de
feating Reginald F. Dohcrty of En
gland , three sets to one. The scores
were 4-6 , 6-2 , G80. .
The defeat of the Englishman was
not only a surprise , but a bitter dis
appointment to the Doherty brothers.
The team just missed capturing the
Davis trophy , and now to be beaten
for , the American championship , when
it j | seemed Imost theirs , accentuated
their disappointment. They will not
go homo empty handed , however , for
tha pair are the American champions
In j , doubles , and next year they will re
turn not only to defend this tltlo , but
for , another chance at the more Im
portant single championship. But if
the result was .disappointing to the
English , it set nearly 4,000 loyal
Americans , who watched every stroke ,
almost frantic with joy and the demon
stration which followed the last play ,
when Dohcrty sent the ball Into the
net , will Hvo for many years in the
annals of the sport. The Englishman
was outplayed probably for the first
tlmo In his life , at every point
Lamed was stronger at the net ; cov
ered court far better , proved a ster
ling j base line player and , when the
strain came In the third and fourth
sots , showed himself to be In magnifi
cent condition.
