but his service was painfully weak.
After boiling a mouthful or two the speo-
tators hurried back to see Bell and n.
Rowan. The result was a surprise and
came near laying out the talent. Rowan
played, IN the first set the best tennis OF
the tournament. His earnestness was
fairly tigerish. Every stroke was smash
or a cracking drive. and some of his Law
binary ropewalk. Nothing looked too far
away for him. as he sprinted up and down
the court. Lack of training and late
lunch pulled him down or the score might
have been different. Nothing, however.
should depreciate Bells victory. He played
an excellent uphill game and won hand
somely.
In the next set Bruce Rowan fell down
to Brady far too easily. II he could borrow
some of his brothers vim, and his brother
could levy on hts condition, they would
make a good pair to draw to- AS II was.
Braly won al a waikiki, 6-3 Brady played
strong game, though. He is a splendid
tournament man who never loses head nor
heart. and this Characteristic makes him
a favorite in the picking for runner-up. It
lies between him and Bell. The latter has
Rhe better form, but is nkely,to wear a
little nervous. 1t looks as If he had trained
too fine. But there will be big game
when they cross sticks today.
