Dashing racquet work backed by accurate play brought Holcombe Ward and Beals C. Wright, the national champion, and Wylie Cameron Grant and Edward B. Dewhurst through to the final round of the lawn tennis doubles yesterday on the courts of the St. Nicholas Rink.
The steadiness of G.C. Shafer and the smashing of Wylie C. Grant proved too much for Gustave F. Touchard and William B. Cragin, Jr., in the championship round of the men's indoor doubles yesterday on the Seventh Armory courts, Sixty-sixth Street and Park Avenue.
