glish champion, H. L. Doherty. won their
places in this round and it is expected that
as the matter now stands Larned and Do
herty will meet in the finals.
In gaining his place in the semi-inals
Clothier played a hard three-set match
with Mahoney of the English international
team he was too strongly aggressive at
the net for the Englishman. and the latter
was cleanly outplayed in the second and
third sets. after winning the first, when
the games had gone to deuce.
That the ranking American player, VIM
A Larned. was In fine form was made evil
dent by his work against Harry T. Allen
the Ph1ladelphian. Allen was very accu-
rate on his drives and his attempts to
pass. but Larned overcame this by the
most dashing sort of work. and by sprint
ing to the net he gained the position from
winch 1T was possible for him to cross
court the ball and pass Allen almost at
will. Allen only took three games in the
three sets of the match.
