THE TENNIS TOURNEY
FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCHES AT NEWPORT TODAY.
Large Attendance and Enthusiasm
Interest in the Semi-Finals-
Clothier and Larned.

NEWPORT, r. l.. August 23-The ma
tional tennis championship matches had
reached the semi-fnals today, and with
conditions that were all that could be de-
sired. The attendance was large and en-
thuslastic. While Larned was the unmis-
taxable favorite. at the same time the ex-
perts pointed out that for several years
Clothier has been the hardest man In the
country for the ex-champion to beat.
The other match In the sem-tnals was
between Ward and Leonard, and while
Ward was expected to win. 1t was thought
he would have to work hard FOR VIC
tory.
Clothier took the first set at GA, Larned
being little slow in getting under way. as
he often Is in the early part of match
He had brilliant streak In the fourth and
fifth games, and played all around his
Younger opponent but Clothier was a bit
steadier, and got the scoreback even.
In the last game the ex-champton was
nervous and gave away two critical points
by double faults. Clothier improved the OPP
portunities given him and pulled out win
ner after three deuces.
Larned turned the tables in the second
set taking it at 6-3 though the play was
very close and most of the games went to
double faulting twice.
Clothier defeated Larned in the semi
finals. three sets to two. The score was
Ct 3-6 %. 60, 63.
I.arned went in for the rest at the end of
the third set. leading two to one. After
ha ving a lead of the first game the Phila-
delpha player was run down and sue
ceeded in getting only one more in the set
Larned was simply invincible, and scored
his games much more easily than before,
only two going to deuce and none of them
being the long affairs that came often In
the first two sets. Larned, 9; Clothier, 2
After the rest Clothier improved. The
style of play changed to more of a back
court game. particularly on Clothier's part.
Here he covered great deal of ground and
played very long, fast strokes. When Lar
ned came up Clothier had no difficulty in
passing him. and allowed only two games,
the first and sixth. to go 70 his opponent.
Clothier. 6; Larned. 2.
Clothier made a great fight in the last set
and scored a brilliant win. Larned was
over-anxious at first, and even when he
steadied down Clothier was better.
Clothier broke through service in the
opening game and was never headed. In
the last game Larned proved very weak
and threw away his last chance by double
f3uiting twice in his service game Clothier,
o: Larned ).
The other seminal was taken by Ward
by straight sets. without error. Wards
volleying was as strong as 1t has been all
through the tournament. and he was clever
in all his strokes. His service was very
effective. and he simply had to wait In
each set for good opportunity to break
through in order TO score.
Summary:
Semi-final round-W. J. Clothier beat w.
A. Larned. 81. SO. 90 60. 6-3.
II. Ward beat E. w. Leonard, 49, Ga. 81.
