...quarterfinals, four fair-haired young players played four black-haired ones. Three of the fair-haireds?Henry Ellsworth Vines Jr., John Hope Doeg and George Martin Lott Jr.?beat Bell, Francis Xavier Shields and John Van Ryn, respectively. The only dark-haired player in the semi-finals was also the only Englishman in the tournament, Frederick J. Perry, onetime ping-pong champion and No. 2 singles player on the British Davis Cup team. His semi-final match with Vines was generally regarded as the one which would decide the championship. Vines won, after losing the first two sets...
Vines's opponent in the final was Lott. The latter had beaten round-faced Doeg, the defending champion, who got as far as the semi-final on his courage rather than on his imperfect, left-handed shots. Lott, in the first ten for the last five years, had never reached the final before.

He had had Vines 5-2; then Vines had won his own serve, broken through on Lett's, was winning his own again to tie the score. Lott beat his leg with his racket, lay on the court for a full minute after falling down. He dusted off his trousers with a towel, whacked a ball high into the grandstand when he missed a point, yelped when he missed another. When Vines won the tenth game, Lott, Vines...
Vines, 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Southern California, youngest champion in the history of U. S. tennis, shook hands with Lott, wrapped a towel around his neck while Lott put on a blazer, moved over to a microphone in his slow pigeon-toed shuffle. Theorists wondered whether Vines would, like Doeg, slump after becoming champion; or whether, which seemed a shade more likely, he would improve enough to dominate U. S. tennis like Tilden, McLoughlin, Larned, Wrenn, and Richard D. Sears...
