Then came the final set and defeat
For Riddle. Fully awake 70 the serious

he was moving about his court like

The end of a lightning volleying

These victories brought Murray and

the upper and lower halves Of the
draw, respectively. The other two play
ers to gain brackets in the same round
were Nathaniel w. Niles, of Boston, who
scored an upset by defeating Clarence j.

Miss Mary K. Browne, Of California,

the special exhibition match. The
great player from Norway was decided

Biddle Plays Wonderful Game
Against Brilliant Murray

through the Meteor's service, aided by
two double faults.
MURRAY promptly repaid the compli-
ment by winning the eighth game at
love. on Biddle's delivery. Twice tho
former Californian volleyed beautl-
fully, TO cut the side lines as the Phila,,
delphian closed in at the net, and
twice Murray "killed" lobs with spec
tacular smashes across the fore-eourt;.
But Biddle would not be denied and
his steadiness under fire pulled MN
through in this set. He was following
in quickly on his forcing shots and
his opponent in the sharp
decisive volleying duels at the net. MS
racquet work at this stage was de-
light TO watch.
But the fact that Bddle had taken
the last two games and the hrst set
at ca only served to spur Murray
on 70 greater efforts. Instead or slow
ing up in an attempt to steady ms
game. the stalwart youth from the
Coast added TO his speed OF loot and
stroke, until he was fairly burning
nm the court with the heartbreaking
pace he was setting
Even the imperturbable Biddle could
not withstand such fierce lombard
ment, and the Meteor, after the nrsI
two games had been split, rushed
ahead with irresistible power and tore
off the last five games in row. he
had gained full control of his severe
volleying shots, and this, combined
with his wonderful agility, enabled
him to smothes everything that Biddle
sent over and, in addition. score on
placement aces.
Murray Anne1es Third at "a
Murray annexed the third set At
Ga, but his battle this time was
sterner one, for Biddle was playing
volley for volley and handling the Cal
ifornian's deadly service with consum-
mate skill. The fourth set was Bid
dies at Ga, after another thrilling
duel for the points. The veteran
earned rounds of applause from the
gallery by the cool skill with which
he turned Murray's service into
weapon against its own master. The
Philadelphian was shooting the ball
back so quickly that Murray was
forced to take it at his feet, in de
fensive position.
