and Mahan played better toeether and
led "a n again at As. but they
could not stand prosperity and fell by
the wayside long enough to drop the
set In three straight games.
. The third set was q v of the
ordinary for the day. for Beekman and
Mahan. trailing At 81. came along
with an unexpected burst Of brtlliapcy
and kept the onlookers sitting In their
wet seats a little longer by taking three
consecutive games and the lead at 81.
Instead Of stopping there. they kept
right on working n led again at IS.
They fought hard to regain the lead
after they Ia dropped the twelfth game
and brought the thirteenth TO deuce fve
times. but 1t WA unlucky for them and,
thanks to McLoughlin's accuracy, the
Beckman-Mahan combination dropped
that IN Mclaughlin had a httle more
kindly feeling for those sitting IN the
rain and ran through the next gnme
without the U.s. OF n point on his own
service.
Mahan played about the best tennis he
ever displayed and scored twenty-five
placements during the course OF the
match. three more than the Comet, who
N known to be no slouch At placing.
Incidentally he scored two service aces
as well. and both OF them against Nc
Loughlin.
The singles matches were easily the
best OF the tournament. Niles put up
the night Of his life and pleased the gal
lery more than q little by his brilliance.
The game fight he put up mad him
4 prime ~fayOrtte and those VINO wers
roofing for him to beat the Californian
were legion. He passed Mclaughlin fire.
Quently on well placed shots along the
line and made the Californian hustle
to take care Of his service.
In the opening set the Garre went along
to 4 all. with each man winning on his
own service. and some Of the wiseacres
who are always around such matches In
droves freely predicted that the man
who would break through the others
service would win. This might not
have been a bad prediction II any one
other than Mclaughlin were in the
field. but a little thing like service
does not bother Mac very much. As II
turned out. Niles did break through
McLoughlin's service. but that. instead
OF giving the Bostonian the set, only
made Mclaughlin tighten up a little
more. He took the tenth and eleventh
games with the loss Of only one point
after M q been shut out In the eighth
and ninth. Niles came back and wor
on his own service and brought the SCI
to deuce again at 8 all. but McLoughlir
took the next two games at love, there
by slowing away the opening set. II
the second set Mac dropped the first tive
games and then ran out the match
with six In O row.
Behr played ON wonderful tennii
in beating Pell. and his victory puts hin
In the final round against M~cL<oughlin
whom he will meet tomorrow. BehI
went through the first ive games OF TIT
opening set In twelve minutes. allowing
his erstwhile team mate to score onl!
hve points against him. He let up lonI
enough to drop a game after It ha'
reached deuce twice. and finished tn,
set. In this second set Behr did no
. play as fast as in the opener. but KEEP
4 going strong enough 10 get plenty o
practice and keep In the lead. II Beh
plays tomorrow anything like he did TO
day he will give Mclaughlin a rea
battle.
