Larned continued his good work at the
beginning of the third set by taking the

ed to be saving himself for the critical
period
After his match yesterday the fall in
Doherty's game was surprising. and APP
peared to be due almost entirely to the
heat.
Larned won the second game also in
fine, strong work at the net, although
deuce was called twice. Then Doherty
rallied and three cross court shots fol-
lowed by a net game gave him his first

The seven minute rest was ell too
short. although Doherty seemed con-
siderably refreshed. but Larncd was
fresher and had more spring 10 his step.
II was Larned's serve and he scored at
once on a fine ace. Then he made an
out. but followed II by fine place
shot that Doherty did not attempt to
reach. A place by Doherty and two
errors by Larned gave the Enslisnman
the fret game But after Doherty was
within n point OF the second Larned
made n deuce and won.
