Best Match in Third Round.

But the best match of the day was that
in the third round, when Gordon defeated
Ralph w. Hills, 6-3 and 6-3. These
scores do not in any way show the rela-
tive games of the two players. as Hills
never looked better and many thought
his game was as good as that of his op-
ponent. The big fellow was less fortu-
nate in counting his points when they
meant games. Hills undoubtedly is one
of the most graceful players at the club
and ne pulled off some wonderful shots
with apparent ease. His backhand was
equally as strong as his fore, while his
service had plenty of sting to 1t and
proved to be rather hard for Gordon to
handle. Gordon played one Of his best
games, and was fortunate in getting his
stroke over more often than usual. while
he covered his court in the most approved
fashion. The card for this match was:
FIRST SET
Gordon Gp',s ..:....:.:... 81
Hills. ............. D Z o--|O-N
SECOND SET.
Gordon s 900
Hills. 49, y 1-21-a
Another good match was that in which
j. l.. Karrick defeated "Waddy" Wood.
81, ST and Ga. The first set went to
Karrick in almost record time, but Wood
seemed to find himself in the second, and
this one and the third were unusually
good ones In the second Karrick got an
early lead and it looked as If he would
end things then and there; but Wood
came back in the nick of time and
took the set, after running the score to
deuce The third and deciding one went
to Karrick, although Wood put up hard
game and threatened at one time.
