tnougn he made his score look good
against the champion, It appeared TO
be on sufferance, as Doyle would quick

appeared anxious to win.
Moore Is Disappointing.
The big match of the day was that
between Ballard Moore and Doyle in
the semi finals, and the friends of the
former were given quite a shock by
the ease with which the champion
eliminated the Chevy Chase man from
the tournament by the score Of Ga,
Ga, Moore has been playing brilliant
tennis this summer and fall and it was
hoped that he might be the man to
pull down Doyle. but experience, cou-
pled with unusual cleverness, won out
on the day. To analyze the playine of
Doyle is fully 20 per cent better
racquet wielder than Moore, and that
the latter will have to continue COM
ing for at least another season before

ever ready to do business grabbed the
set and then the match.

ard was also an Interesting battle and
much on the order of the Doyle-M Nor
gan contest, the Chevy Chase star
winning almost as he liked by the
score Of 6--3, 6-3. Gordon's smashes
Yesterday were true and deadly. some
ming he lacked In the spring tourna-
ments, and should he continue along
the same line this afternoon an I'M
usually warm battle Is bound to re-
suit. Temperament is about all that
divides Gordon and Doyle, and. as one
old follower of the game remarked
Yesterday, the latter has ice water
running through his veins instead of
blood"
Matches in Doubles Popular.
OF course, the matches in the doubles
were the most spectacular and more
pleasing to the eye on account of the
continuous action, and the gallery en-
loved the struggle between Doyle and
Holtxman and Gordon and Graves i'm
mensely. In this match Doyle had to
xtend himself. and there was not a
minute in which he could loaf. as both
Gordon and Graves went after him as
.hough Holtzman wasn't on the court.
It frequently happened that the smash
% from Gordon caught Doyle una
wares. and through these spots the
score was pushed up until at the end
t stood rs in favor of the latter and
his mate.
The second set found Holtzman more
Of a help and the battle was carried
light to Gordon and Graves from the
start, and they were on the defensive
