her chin fell upon her breast as though in

played at Longwood yesterday after
noon. The match went to five sets. and
though Clotheir got two Of them, there
was never any doubt as to who was the
better player of the two men. Larncd got
the first two sets in easy fashion. and in
the first eleven games OF the third set
he had a lead Of one game and had the
twelfth easy but for two bad decisions
by the Iinemen. which proved to be the
turning point of the set and gave It to
Clothier. eight games to six.
In the fourth set Larned was tired and
his eyes began to bother him. His play
ing was listless and surprise to the
fashionable gallery. for time after time
he failed to go after shots that had been
easy for him In the previous sets This
proved to be love set In Clothier's ia
vor.
For the fifth and last set Larned play
ed an entirely different sort OF game
and appeared to have regained the dash
of the first two SETS Once more he set
the gallery on edge by his marvellous
places and lobs that eventually got him
points, for in almost every case Clothier's
return was for an out. Clother took the
first game, and then the next four
straight went to Larned. Clothier got
one more and Larned the last one for the
match.
