Dean Mathey Beaten
By Little Pfaffnan

York. proud possessor Of the national
indoor doubles title with Arthur LOW
bond, who had to 60 to London to
escape the congratulations on the feat,
and the veteran Hugh Tallant, once
Harvard champion. Needless to say,
Johnston and Griffin won, 6-3, "a,
but had quite a fight, DR.. Rosenbaum
and Tallant several times having their
advantage on the game that would
have been their fifth in the second set.
Harvard Victorious.
Richard Norris Williams, I'd, and
Watson NJ. Washburp, the essentially
Harvard combination, and the Oriental
onrushers. Ichiya Kumagae and Hach-
ishiro Mikami, won the other two
doubles matches. Harvard put it over
Cornell and Columba-Francis ].
Hunter and ]. S. ONeale-6-2, 6-S.
The nifty Nips eliminated G. Boocock
and r. r. Coffin, 6-1, GO, and re-
fused to be serious about it either.
Williams, the darling Of the fans
here, has held the Achelis challenge
cup for two years, and must be met
in the challenge round by the tourna-
ment vsnner. His progress, therefore,
is being watched carefully. To-day
was the Philadelphian's first court APP
pearance since the EastWest matches,
and he appeared to relish the attack
upon q tennis ball. He amply demon
strated to Hunter and his partner that
he really is a tennis player Of promise.
Rain Halts Battle.
6. Howard Voshell and Nathaniel w.
Niles were in the middle of bitter
,nt cd 70
insistence. The hard-serving Brooklyn
southpaw. by q whirlwind net attack,
took the first set from the noted New
Highlander, Ga. Niles ran five
straight games in the second set be-
fore Voshell recovered his stability
and won two. There the matter rested.
Voshell is essentially a net man, and
Niles is the best baseliner in the
country. The rain possibly prevented
a repetition of the match between the
two at Nassau, when Voshell again
captured the first set, only TO become
exhausted by his net attacking meth
DDS and to fade gradually at the end.
The match will be started tomorrow
whore it was left off to-day, and if
the Sea Bright humidity is not too
great. clubhouse gossip says that per
haps Voshell. who is working almighty
hard TO get into the first ten this year,
will upset the denizen of the charmed
circle.
Karl Behr, who defeated McLough-
lin at this tournament last year and
thereby earned number four ranking,
defaulted to-day to Edward P. Larned,
much to every ones surprise. Behr
says it is much too hot for singles.
Unkind ones say that il is much too
hot for the ranking, since the fiery
Eli star was playing badly in the in
tense heat when he dropped set 70
Henry S. Parker in a first round
match Monday and had an almighty
time winning the match.
