matches which called for extra sets,
when he gained well earned decision
over Hallett Johnson, Ct, Is and
Is. Bates played an ercatic game.
He covered lots Of ground and was
fairly successful with his stroke. which
puzzled his opponent quite little. Aft
er taking the opening set he expert
enced a let-down which came very
was quick to take advantage OF it. aId
ran through the second set in almost
record time and took a three-game
lead in the third. Bates just did man
in time to tie things up at tive-all. at
which point he came back" and took
the next two. giving him the set, 10.
Connie Doyle, who will probably win
challenge round. as he did last year, won
his match from M. NJ. Parker, jr., with
the greatest of ease, not allowing his Op-
ponent single game. He is not playing
up to his last years form, however, as
he does not seem to have the control on
his drives that he showed last year, but
he is practicing hard, and will probably
be able to put up his best game when 1t
Is necessary, in the later and more i'm
pOrtant rounds.
The Doyles showed their old-time skill
in pretty exhibition match at doubles,
with Hugh G. Whitehead and Walter Tay-
lor OF Norfolk as their opponents. They
captured the only set played, 81. The
Norfolk pair and Craig Biddle and
Gustav f. TOuchard are looked upon as
the two pairs to face one another in the
final round of the mems doubles event
for the honor of facing the Doyles for the
title in the challenge round. Touchard,
with Little as his partner, is the present
national champion in doubles. while
Whitehead, with Winston as his partner,
is the present national clay-court cham
pton, SO 1t can be easily seen that the
doubles event will bring out some I'M

just before play is begun.
In the wOmen's singles the first round
was completed yesterday The best match
In this class was that in which Miss
A. M. Doyle defeated Miss A. Dufour,
6E3. 40 and Ga The players were
very evenly matched and a great many
of the games were deuced, the match
lasting for fully two hours Miss Doyle's
puzzling service and her accuracy were
responsible for her victory, although on
several occasions Miss Dufour looked
dangerous. She was strong at overhead
play and at the net. but had trouble in
playing the back court, where Miss Doyle
forced her to play.
Miss Eva Baker, who stands an excel
lent chance. Of winning the tournament,
captured an interesting match from Miss
Smith, Ga and 7-5. Her service Is I'M
usually strong for woman's, and this.
together with her ability to follow the
ball, gave her the decision. Miss Smith
put up an Unexpectedly strong game. as
before it started, many looked upon the
match as a very easy one for Miss Baker.
Miss Eustis of Boston. who won by de-
fault from Mrs. Bell yesterday, is another
player of high class. and she and Miss
Baker will probably fight it out for the
honor of meeting the present title holder,
Mss Edith ROtch Of Boston.
