Both have already secured leg on 1t. and the
victory OF either will make the cup his permanent

r. D. Wrenn played a magnificent game against
Neel, the Western champion. this afternoon. At
the start Neel's powerful volleying came out with
telling effect. and resulted in his taking the first
set by of so. After that however, Wrenn
showed that clever generalshp which. more than
anything else has gained him his reputation on the
courts. He varied his tactics frequently and so
effectively that Neel at loss how to handle
his opponents strokes. Neels weakness In ground
work also helped Wrenn materially Both players
set hot pace and Wrenn in particular ham
mered the balls with great force. His backhand
strokes were particularly strong and fast. and Nee
had great trouble in playing them. The second set
went to Wrenn on combination Of brilliant line
shots and hot volleys from the net which kept the
Western man dancing In the back court.
The third set opened with Wrenn on the often

fought out, with honors even almost all the way.
At one timo 1t looked though Stevens would
forge out ahead but Larned developed surprising
speed just at the critical moment and scored the
victory.
In the morning Stevens succeeded in defeating
