Play.

The most interesting match OF Tues
days playing In the city tournament was
between Cub Potter and Harry Koch, won
by Potter, Ga. $40, ga. Both men were
playing a fast. brillian game, and It was
anybody's match up TO the last set. Dur
ing the second set. when Potter had ono
to his credit, he carried the score up to
set point, needing only one to win tho
game, set and match. At Just the right
moment, however, Koch rallied and forced
him to win nine more gaines before the
match was safe. The score stood 40-30
for Potter in his fifth game. and hold
ing him down on his winning point was
considered quite an achievement for the
defeated man. Both were in good condi-
ton and played their hardest games.
Koch's defeat being due 20 his failure to
smash high lobs rather than to any other
one defect. He repeatedly gave easy re-
turns on high slow ones, which he might
have killed with a smash.
The other matches played Tuesday even-
ing were as follow;
Tyner beat Dining, 6-9. Ga.
Ced Potter beat Duffrene, s-6, 6-3, Ga.
Hughes beat Gould. 6-1, TO.
Young beat Burns, 81, SIS.
Whittemore beat Newell, l-6, 60, 6-9.
Martin beat Sweet, SO, e-S,
WhIttemOre in Good Form.
whittemore, the new man who Is be-
ing talked of as a probable winner, had
no great difficulty In downing Newell OF
the pietz club. Whittemore has been
beating Champion Art scribner in prac-
tice and seems the best candidate for a
match with Con Young in the finals.
Wednesdays matches. which are all IN
the third round. win begin about 8 o'clock.
