crowd sat about the turf court at
Forest Hills and marveled.
Niles always played the ball with
tantalizing variations OF speed. Fur
thermore, he compelled the Califor-

list and the partner of William M.
Johnston in the holding OF the ma

Biddle completed his postponed
match with Dean Mathey. tie No. 10

that he accounted for the retirement
