Never before has a youth of Richard's age gained the distinction of winning from a member of the “first ten” in a tourna- ment match. Tis vietory came only after Kumagae had outplayed the boy from deep court and scemed to be headed for a straight set triumph But adding to the merit of his | achievement Richards then procceded | to change his methods.

The match then became a duel between Kuma- gae’s tremendously forceful and ac- curate ground strokes and Richard’s really brilliant volleving game, and the flatter won only because Richards had the courage to persist in the face of ‘a savage storm of passing shots, and the skill to turn these shots aside and score placement aces.

The Swedes took their defeat good naturedly. If for nothing else the contest showed the Northlanders the possibilities of America’s great gamh and gave baseball a good start in Sweden.
