Clothier's exhibition yesterday better than
expected, though there was feeling that the
British champion was not exerting himself The
latter certainly did use the consistent aggres-
siveness usual to him at all times and It seemed
as though he was reseTving himself for the nor

service than in the previous matches. and did not
make a double fault When DOherty put the balls
high to him he killed beautifully but when the
Englishnan drove low and straight IL a dt-
ferent story.
