PeI distinguished himself by defeating
William B. Cragin, tr., the Long lslano
champion, and Raymond D. Little. Cragln
twice before this season has met Peli ana
triumphed. but PelI turned the tables yes
terday and won at 60, Glove.
Pell was on his game. He has seldom
played his drives and volleys with greater
speed. and this was particularly noticeable
in his match against Little.
Again Gustaye F Touchard found three
. sets necessary to defeat Charles M. Bull,
ir. the former Crescent Athletic Clup
champion. at 60, 49, 6-3. The match heio
the stretch of sward directly before the
clubhouse and many of the spectators
bothered Touchard by crossing the court

vulnerable spots in his court annoyed
Touchard considerably, but in the third set
he caught his balance and maintained MS
amazing record of victories.
