there stands out on the Riviera q GER

selves against the wall to let it pass.
1t climbed up and down hills, with ter
raced groves Of olives on one side Of
he road, and a shallow opalescent sea
to the low, continuous accompaniment
Of the upsurging, long withdrawing
ocean.
Another picture is that of the small
dead towns that sit high up ON sheer
Alpine ridges between the borders of
France and Italy. The little towns on
the top of the rocky mountains look
us dead as the rocks themselves, indeed
as II hewn out OF the rocks. Layer

in games. but Cake managed to sprint
unexpectedly. taking the next three games
In the most approved manner. He could
not keep up the pace, however. and Doyle
took the next game. which carried with
1t the set and match.
After remaining out of the game for
nearly year Spencer Gordon "came
back" yesterday. winning from A. M.
Chesley in the preliminary round by the
scores of 63 and 60 The long rest
seemed to have done him good, as he ap-
peared to his best advantage. Gordon
plays different style of game from that
OF last season, and this change should
put him much nearer the top of the local
talent. In his previous matches the for
mer Princeton champ has been content to
play a careful game. taking no chances
at all and being on the defensive most
OF the time, but in yesterdays match he
was the aggressor throughout. taking all
kinds of chances and getting away with
them with amazing regularity. He cover
ed lots of ground and was splendidly Sc
we're and accurate overhead. Chesley play
ed well. but was 0utclassed.
Another good match. and the only one
in which the winner did not get the de-
cision in straight sets. was that be-
tween d. Hillyer and e. S. jackson in the
preliminary round, the former winning,
Sc. 6-1 and o.. The first two sets
were nothing out Of the ordinary, but
the last one brought out some very clever
playing. both men realizing that this was
their last chance. 1t was featured with
long rallies OF rapid play. first one man
winning and then the other. Hfllyer, who
at one stage of the game was within a
single point of losing the match. finally
captured three straight games. thereby
getting the decision.
The drawings were made last night for
the women's singles and the mems
doubles. and some matches in these
classes will very likely be started today.
So few entries have been received in the
mixed doubles that unless more come in
today the event will not be played and
the titleholders. g. F. Touchard and Miss
Hildegarde Turtle. will be allowed to re-
tain the title for another year. The

Two noteworthy features Of the game
