elheduled for 4 o'clock because Mahan
couldn't get down until that time. Vo-
shell refused to play at that hour.
In spite OF the fact that Mclaughlin
and Throckmorton were playing their
match at the same time that Fell and
Dawson came out for their conflict the
major portion of the gallery remained tu
watch the latter match. Pell always has
been a great favorite down here because
Re never has failed to display his very
best tennis. To-day was no exception.
He sailed right into his Western rival
and never faltered until the match was
over. Dawson's terrific drives and hurl-
ing service did not bother the backhand
expert in the least.
Pell made an suspicious start In the
opening set by failing the opening gam"
on Dawson's service, but not until after
the game had gone to deuce thrice. the
Westerner retaliated by taking two
games and the lead. but Pell. not to be

set at 30, and while he was winning
these our games Dawson was scoring
only the same number of points.
Dawson managed to save himself a
shutout by winning the fifth gam of the
set, but Pell came back with a rush and
finished the set with he loss of only
3 more points. Pell scored 20 points In
his set to Dawson's II. The very first
game OF the match was the only one
that went to deuce.
Young T~hrockmorton made quite a
good impression IN the gallery by the
way he started to play against Nc
Loughlin. The Comet won the opening

this game the crowd sat open mouthet
