Forest Hills, n. T., Sept. 2.-Erratic
play by leading contenders for the IT,
tie was the outstanding feature Of the
third round Of the National Tennis
championship singles tournament on
the courts Of the West Side Club to-
day. Although the weather conditions
were favorable for the fastest kind OF
court work, the general form was not
as high as in the earlier rounds.
While there were no upsets to check
the progress Of the favorites, there
was an almost entire absence Of the
sensational tennis that SO thrilled the
spectators at Wednesdays matches.
R. Norris Williams, End Of Harvard,
and Philadelphia, holder Of the cham
pionship, defeated Walter Merrill Hall
Of New York. Maurice E. McLough-
lin of San Francisco. who captured
two legs on the champion bowl in 1912
and 1918, won from Leonard Beekman
of New York. William Johnston of
San Francisco put out D. S. Walters
of New Orleans while Clarence j.
Griffin Of San Francisco eliminated a
Pacific coast team mate in Ward
Dawson Of Los Angeles.
Williams Game
Without exception the victors were
never in danger of being defeated and
this fact may have had something to
do with the cratic standard Of the
play of several selected as most like
ly to appear in the semi-final round.
This was particularly true Of both
Williams and Mclaughlin. The form
er started like whirlwind against
Hall. slumped badly in the third set
which he lost and won at the same
speed at which he began.
Hall. who defeated Wallace F.
Johnson in a sensational five set bat
tie yesterday. showed the effect Of
this gruelling match, but made a
plucky struggle against the champion
Mclaughlin in Trouble
The wide gulf that separates McLough-
lin and Beekman in the ranking list was
not so evident when the pair met on the
turf The famous conquerer Of Brookes
and Wilding appeared to be experiment.
ing with a mixture of net and deep court
play, and as a result he was not UP to
the form that has made him invincible
in past years. His judgment of distance
was bad at times. and he Melted both
his services and returns in a surprising
of foot faults recorded against him. AT

SENSATIONAL WORK LACKING

times he was almost sluggish, but when
occasion demanded he proved entirely too
fast and clever for Beekman.
Carl Behr and Frederick B. Alexander
were among the eastern experts to win
their way into the fourth round. Benr
defeated Robert Leroy In straight sets
after losing the opening contest. rms
match was one of the best of the day
on the grandstand courts, SO far as high
class, consistent tennis was concerned
Behr appeared to be SLOW In starting
and Leroy, by careful returning and
placing, won the first set. Thereafter
Behr took the lead and was never head
ed. Try as he would. Leroy could not
cope with his opponents fine assortment
OF placement drives and killing smashes
Alexander's victory was won along
much the same line. although he did not
drop a set to s. H. Voshell In the course
of his march into the fourth round. The
veteran held his opponent safe at all
times despite the persistent efforts of
voshell to find some weakness In the
attack or defence of the former holder
of the doubles championship with Hack
EFT.
Dawson Eliminated
The younger members Of the Califor-
MIA contingent also played a prominent
part in the days struggles, Clarence
j. Griffin eliminated Ward Dawson in
straight sets due to his greater gener-
alship. William Nj. Johnston, had as
his opponent Waters, the Louisiana
champion, and the Californian's speedy
game proved the undoing Of the New
Orleans entrant.
T. r, Pell and w. NJ. Washburn
fought out three closely contested sets.
every one of which was Won by the
former much to the surprise of close
followers of eastern tennis.
AS i result of the opening round of
the interscholastic championship finals
the winners of four Of the large East
ern university tournaments will meet
tomorrow to decide the pair that will
compete for the 1915 title. Sidney Thay-
err. Harvard, will play c. S. Garland,
and H. A. Throckmorton, Princeton,
opposes w. r. Harlow. Pennsylvania.
The schedule for tomorrow's play in
the national titular play will bring to-
gether Griffin and Law; Johnston and
Lehr, Williams and Adoue, Biddle and
Rand, Hunter and Pfatfman, McLoush-
lin and Alexander, Prentice and
Wright, and Bell and Bull.

latter nroyince, the Austrian state, the
pvssiars set fire to a number of VIII
lagos which might indicate a further
retreat. Thus the hopes raised IN the
allied countries by recent successes
that Russia at least was making a
stand. have been dissipated.
Everywhere the Austro-Ier1ltho

talk Of an advance on klev, but the
distance to that city is considerable
and the country over which 1t would
have to be made is difficult for the

On the western front the Germans
claim to have recovered trenches which

Increased activity at the Dardanelles

sides their success in capturing an I'M
portant position east of Sulva bay which
dominates one of the Turkish lines OF
communication, the British have sunk
four more Turkish transports in the
straits, while the fire of the ships across
the Gallipoli peninsula has made the
movement of Turkish troops by either
land or sea more difficult.
According to the Turks. mine sweepers
have been busy at the entrance of the
straits, inferring that an attack is con-
templated by the Allies from another di-
rection.
Dispatches from Rome state that the
Austrians have evacuated Rovereto,
which recent Italian advances had
threatened to cut off. An official report
from the same capital claims a number
ofs successes for the artillery and infan-
try on different fronts.

The British public has been greatly
cheered by the version of the recently
heavy fighting at the Dardanelles con-
tanned in the official report received last
night from General Ian Hamilton, the
British comma nder-in-chief. This report
has been awaited eagerly, in view of the
assertions of Constantinople that the AL

Sir Ian claims that his forces oper-

was watched by an exceptionally large
crowd which interfered with the field
ing and frequently caused hits to be
scored where with good field the
fielder would have gotten the ball
without trouble.
The crowds began to come early for
the third and largest day Of the Central
Maine Fair and every train that arrived
in the city up to and past noon was
crowded with people who were on their
way to Names biggest show for 1915.
1t was a happy throng that wendell its
way to the electrics and then to the fair
grounds, and there they found everything
in full blast and it was indeed a sour
faced individual who was not satisfied
with the entertainment furnished. In ad-
dition to the large number of people
who came by train there was steady
stream of automobiles from early in the
morning until late afternoon and they
brought from two to eight or nine people.
The jitneys did a rushing business and
We're on the go constantly during the
day.
The Morning Attractions
In the morning the chief interests of
the crowd were the pulling matches and
the Midway. All the attractions on the
Midway were carefully gone over and 1t
seemed as though about every 10th per-
son was carrying a baby doll on a blan-
ket which they had won al some of the
various games. The pulling contests NJ.
tracted a great crowd and dill about the
enclosure they We're banked several tiers
deep. These tests of strength of horses
and skill of drivers proved to be excep-
tonally interesting and brought out how
good some of the horsetiesh owned in
Maine really is.

who was followed by the band, then
a team containing President Whitcomb
and Secretary Gilmore and then by
the long line of prize winners, hand
some horses, sleek oxen, fine stock of
every description, and last but not least
large float of Winslow Grange, which
was the winner in the Grange exhibits.
A young lady on this was busy throw
ing out apples, onions, corn and other
vegetables to the members of the
crowd and they were eagerly scram-
beld after by those whom they came
near.
The Races
Following this came the races and they
proved to be close and interesting. The
2.13 trot was the first one called and
this had three starters, all good ones
The race was anybody's until the last
heat was finished, Troas seeming to have
the speed Of the bunch and winning, but
by narrow margin each time.
The 2.1s trot was another race with
three starters and DR.. Kiborn had the
speed of the bunch in this class and won
easily in straight heats.
The 2.35 trot and pace furnished the
excitement of the afternoon. There were
six starters and they went away we'll
punched and held we'll together until
near the end of the mile. when Marga-
ret o. moved out of the bunch and won
easily. In the second heat they went
away again closely punched and opposite

In general for the day, there will be

been cleaned up, the usual concerts by
the orchestra and hand, a baseball
game between the winners of the pre-
vious games and the usual balloon as

Under the rules of the fair the ex-
hibitors are not allowed to remove their
exhibits until late in the afternoon so
that everyone who attends on Friday
will be sure to see all Of the fair, the
same as any other day.
1t IS an axiom Of all fairs that the
races on the last day are always the
best and while this may not prove to
be the case at the Central Maine this
year, the lovers of good racing are
certain to see some thing to interest
them on Friday. Three classes are on
the card. the 2.24 trot; the 2.17 trot and
pace and the 230 trot. Each Of these
classes has a good list Of entries and
unquestionably it will be a good bunch
Of horses which will come out for the

There will also be the usual reduced
