Pelfs playing was one of the features
OF the day. He had all of his bes;
strokes working well. which means that
he was well nigh unbeatable. His back
hand drives were especially powerful
and effective In scoring points.
Imam had gained the third round
earlier in the day by defeating Alfred
s. Dabney. the Longwood Cricket Club
star. at Sc. 60. The Bostonian did
not play anything like the game he
showed in other years. In the second
set Inman made him look like a novice.

due to lack Of practice or simply to the
fact hat he has begun to go back was
a topic for much discussion during the
