terday. IN the fourth round OF the New
York State lawn tennis tournament on the
turf courts Of the Crescent Athletic Club,
at Bay Ridge The score was 6-2. IS
Such an outcome of the match was re
garded as nothing short Of sensational
upset, Little. the former internationalist'
worked well. but he was hardly up TO the
task Of smothering Long by such score
according TO the form records.
The match was strange one. On his
side of the net Little was quick. steady
and always playing for the main chance
bis drives were fast. as he hit the ball
hard and placed deeply in Longs court.
The Californian was weak on his service
and seemed TO lack all certainty of aim
He came up TO the net frequently TO block
of Little's drives He always got the ball.
but with disastrous results. as he walloped
II into the net or out Of court. Through
out the two sets Longs speed and accu-
racy appeared to have deserted him
Thomas c. Rundy. the other Californian
won his match at IS. 60, defeating
Henry w. Slocum, the former national
champion. and coupling with Little for the
lower semi-fnal bracket Bundy was
clever in his net play. repeatedly acing
Slocum at close range. Maurice +. NC
Loughlir. the third OF the trio from the
Pacific Coast. came through to the same
round in the upper half by disposinG OF
Arthur 5. Cregin at g.. 60. Cragin was
in rare form. He led in the first set al
40 by his deep smashes and drives. Nc
Loughlin found that he could not take any
chances. and in the seventh game. with his
opponent serving at 40-love, Mclaughlin
started a series Of rallies that checked
Cragin. and he did not score another game
in the set. Mclaughlin blocked all shots
in the second set and maintained lead
10 the end.
One of the aspirants for the title. Charles
NJ Bull. jr.. won his place in the SEMI
ANAL round. At fore and back hand driv-
ing, always keeping the ball low, Bull
proved a master. He was unusually steady
defeating DR. Augustus p. Wadsworth. OF
the West Side Club. by the score 6-3. %.
The beginning Of the doubles brought out
one cracking match in which Bundy and
McIoughlin defeated the scratch pair
Wylie c. Grant and L. Millens Burt, s.,
Is This match held the place Of honor
on the main court late in the afternoon
and IVES witnessed by several thousand
spectators on both sides there was a
lot Of spectacular smashing. Because of
unfamiliarity with each other. Grant and
Burt often left big openings in their court.
Mclaughlin never allowed the opportunity
10 go without one Of his terrific smashes
for the ace. individually Grant and Burt
brought off good shots. but they failed
completely on team work.
Another contest which landed the win
ming pair in the fourth round of the dou-
bles was that in which William A. Camp
bell and Harold B. Bretz, the latter the
former Yale expert, defeated Dr. ?. Il.
Hawk. Of the University of Illinois, and
Stanley Henshaw, at 6-S, SIS. The sue
cessful pair worked we'll in their con-
certed attacks on the net. Bretz forced
his volley shots clearly through the OPP
posite court at times. while Campbell was
always alert for the possibilities OF an
opening for his deeply placed drives.
Altogether. there were no systematic man
agement in the playing Of the first matches
of the doubles. First round matches were
