WILLIAMS is PUT

Big Upset Results Early in
Longwood Tennis Play
at Boston
CLOTHIER is A WINNER

BOSTON. Mass. July 25-A steady little
tennis star from the Pacific coast, Clarence
j. Griffin, yesterday turned topsy-turvy
Boston's preconceived notions as to the
decorum which should be manifest in the
early rounds OF such a classic as the Gath
annual Longwood tournament. The crafty
Californian set off his bombshell In the
second round of the singles. and the victim
was none other than Richard Norris Will
Jams, I'd, national champion In 1914, and
last year runner-up to Maurice 2. McLough-
lin for the honors, at Longwood. By all
the rules of Back Bay etiquette Williams
should have gone through to an advanced
place in the tournament this year, but west
ern and New England ideas did not CO.
incide. and Williams was defeated in
straight sets, rs, 7-5.
1t was the most startling surprise that
has been sprung on the tennis world this
season.
Two rounds of the singles tournament
were completed yesterday and with the ex-
ceptlon of Williams. all Of the favortes
came through Three of the prominent con-
tenders. George NJ. Church, Willis L. Davis
and William ]. Clothier, defaulted their
matches. Church and Davis elected to re-
serve their strength for the doubles event.
which is important in its bearing on the
national title. as the winners take part in
the preliminary doubles at Chicago.
William NJ. Johnston, national singles
champion. scored two victories, and in
neither was he forced to extend himself. In
the first round he defeated James S.
ONeale. Jr.. 6-2, -6-4 and in the second
round he eliminated Horace Taylor, Long
wood 6-3, 6-3.
Theodore Roosevelt Pell almost met de-
feat In the first round yesterday morning.
when he encountered Wallace r. johnson,
of Philadelphia. Johnson won the first set
6-3, his chop stroke working particularly
we'll against Pells back-court play. A num-
ber Of deuce games marked the second set.
which Pell won, 6-3. Johnson had been
playing against Peils forehand. but in this
set his placing did not carry so well, and.
taking the ball on his baclShand, Pell shot
swift placement strokes to the corners of
the court and johnson was on the defensive.
The final set was bitterly waged, sharp
rallies thrilling the large gallery. Twice
Johnson had the advantage game in a deuce
set, only to have Pell draw level and even
tually break through Johnsons service and
win his own for the match.

Every time we look at a graphing match

any other sport, and they will continue
money to see the Terrible Turks" and
"Stranglers'' put on their acts. Then again
they come across with some hlgh-class
comedy, which is shown by the following
dispatch we saw in the papers a couple
of days ago:
After holding Joe Stecher to a draw in
five hours of wrestling, Stranger Lewis
believes he can defeat Frank Gotch for
the worlds championship. Billy Sandow
manager of Lewis, says he will post a
forfeit any time to bind a match with
Gotch."'
Stranger Has Nerve
This Is n swell challenge and would have
sounded fine but for one little thing. The
day before this sweeping def was issued,
Frank Gotch broke his leg while wrestling
in Kenesha, and decided to quit the game
for good. He was suffering terribly in the
hospital and issued the following statement:
Just as soon as I leave the hospital,
am going back to the farm. 1 am done for
good. don't care who has the champion
ship"
Perhaps Lewis forgot to read the papers
that day or he wanted to make sure that
his opponent was crippled before publishing
his challenge, Gotch, handicapped with a
broken leg, would be easy for Lewis, but
that would be the Strangers only chance
to win.
