 The important contest of the day as regards the probable outcome of the tournament was that in which Karl Behr was put out of the running by A. H. Hummer Although Behr was not considered in his best form, there was no denying that his opponent played very good tennis He hit hard throughout and was not at all dis turbed when in a tight place. This was particularly noticeable in the last set when with the score love and 40- 15 against him, he cut loose and re- peatedly passed Behr evening the score and finally winning the set, S-6. w. IA Larned's passing stroke was 50 good that he kept T. R. Pell in the back courts throughout and won in straight sets without difficulty. The other matches resulted as gen erally expected.
