sibilities in the singles unless Lau-
renee Parsons is able to win his
match with Emory of Quincy. G. r.

by Stillwell of Quincy, who played
a brilliant game, while Archer Miller,
runner up in the Country Club tour

The match which is considered the
greatest of the tournament will be
played at o'clock this afternoon on
the Joy courts between Warfield of
Chicago and Musselman of Quincy
These two players were picked as fin
alists, but the drawing forced them to
meet earlier in the play, leaving as a
finalist one of the more mediocre
players.
AS a result of the matches yester-
day in which these two stars partici-
pated, the odds favor the Chicago
crack. Musselman failed to play in
form in his hardest match against
Frank Higbee of Hamilton, while War
field allowed Fred Higbee only two
games in two sets, winning love set
in the first. Those who watched the
two stars were of the opinion that
Warfield's form was far superior.
However, 1t is generally conceded
that Musselman had bad day, de-
spite the fact that he won four
matches, and is expected to show i'm
provement today.
The Musselman-Higbee match was
played at the Country Club before a
! large gallery which gathered to see
the stars perform. Higbee forced
Musselman to deuce set in the sec.
