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
tional doubles crowns, to keep on the

It was at passing Griffin, as the
latter tried to force the net, that the
Boston man surpassed himself. His
greatest achievement in the match,
and one that amounts to a record
against an opponent ranked in the
top ten, was that Niles finished the
second set with four consecutive
games to his credit. He then went
on whipping line cutters down the
sides of the court for six more games.
