Triple Triumph.
Dohcrty, in fact, scored IA triple tri-4
nmph. In the championship singles, in
which he was the holder OF the title.s
Ritchic opposed him In the second round
and went down like a nlne-pin before IN
alley ball. It isetruc he was not himself
in health, but even so tho game served
up by the champion would on that day
have bcatena much better man, His play
WAS characterized, as usual by that
keen sense of anticipation so invallablal
against II player Ike Richie, In the
next round Dohcrty met Wildlng. and 4
tasted tougher hide; indeed, the match
was the hottest the champion has en-
gagged in since he emerged unscathed2
from tho Wimbledon trial Wildlng evil

his blood was up, and there WAS some
dynamite behind his strokes.

a most exllllaratlng match was pro-

out any great effort, although tho ever

into his stride. Neck and neck ran tho
players In the second bout. I1ayos fol-
lowed up his screw service With mar 1
vclols results. and shot tho ball down
the s!do lines with marvellous precision.
Against any other man this attack must
have triumphod, but Doherty managed
TO keep a little something up his sleeve
for the end; youth WAS served and the
second set won at 11-9 Thus went tho
