the journal says:

The final match, Perry v Stoefen, resulted in tennis that was not as thrilling as might be expected but most interesting from a technical standpoint. Stoefen's powerful de- livery made his service games almost cortain winners, but he was unable to win Perry's servico. Perry was. con- sistent, although not as brilliant as usual, from the start. He was, how.
