amount.
As a preliminary to the Trl-State anC
Suburban matches, singles and double,
exhibition matches were played. In IN,
first ;. Kashio and Wallace f. John.
son entertained the spectators. Onls
two sets were played, however, in order
TO make room for the doubles matches
kashio and Johnson put up a flne ex-
hibltion and they were wonderfully
well matched. II was a case OF flrsi
one and then the other winning his
service until five all was called in thu
first set. Then Kashio took the lead al
6-5 with Johnson serving, and finally
won the set, sc. The second set was
even more strenuously contested and
both players brought off many ilna
shots. Five all 5nd six all were called
and then johnson won two straight and
the set.
In the doubles match Kashlo and
lchiya kumagae took on Beals Wright
and Wallace johnson. The Japanese
stars were in great form and kept their
opponents on the Jump. They won
the two first sets with surprising case,

their true form, but were beaten Ga.

Osborn and T. Garry Martin were in
great form, for they won all three Of
their matches. They encountered J. ).
Taylor and l.. w. Harris OF Whining
ton and as It turned out the Whining
tOnians gave them their best match OF
the afternoon.
In the first set Taylor and Harris
played very aggressive game and per
haps they were a little unlucky In be-
Ing beaten rs. In the second set Qs-
born and Martin struck their true form
and experienced no difficulty in win
ming 6-2. In the next match Osborn
and Martin disposed OF L. s. DeLane
and F. Harvey OF Overlook, In straight
sets. 60, 6-3. II was expected that they
would be given a pretty hot match by
the Cynwyd pair, II. Barker and /. 5.
Gravis. but the Belfleld pair had the
edge on them all the way through and
won 6-3, Ga.
None OF the matches for second teams
were particularly close, although Paul
Gibbons and Harvey Lake had to so
all the way Ia order 10 defeat Tom
Smith and ;. J. HOthersall, Of Bel1eld.
Gibbons and Lake took the first set
much trouble, but In the sec
ond they found their opponents tough
customers and they had 10 play for all
ihey were worth in order to win rs.

was played between Kelly and Lands,

rifle too clever for them in the sec
