Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Rank- ing players advanced with little op- position here today in the second and third rounds of the thirty seventh annual national singles championships of the Lawn Tennis Association. In parked contrast to the opening days play. the majority of the matches were won in straight sets and without semblance of an upset. Although the tournament has yet to reach the mid week stage, the leading racquet wiel- ders who are still able to play are moving forward in all quarters of the draw and the real elimination tests will soon be reached
 The outstanding feature of the days ploy was a remarkable test of en- durance between Seiichiro Kashio, the Japanese and G. A. L. Dionne of New York. These two opponents of the base line game played for four hours and twenty minutes, and when dark ness terminated the unfinished con- test Kashio was leading at 6-1, 7-9, 6-S, and the fourth set standing at two games all. The is undoubtedly record in tournament tennis.
 The two players seldom moved in to the service line and neither used much speed. Playing cautiously and with placement, the rallies were in termEnable and the winner of the point usually profted by his oppon- ent's net or out. The strokes be- tween points frequently ran over one ] hundred. the highest that was counted being 128 and the slow, long drawn out exchanges more than once passed beyond the minute mark by actual timing. The match will be continued tomorrow.
 The initial appearance of IcAiya kumagae, the leading Japanese eX- ponent of the court game, on the grandstand section of the turf, at tracted much interest. Kumagae's op-. ponent was George W. Wightman of the Longwood Cricket Club, Boston The Oriental player won in straight sets at 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Wightman tried every artifice of tennis to hold the | Japanese in check but with little avail As the match progressed and Kumagae warmed up he easily out generalled and outplayed the Boston ian.
 W. T. Tilden, IT,, of Philadelphia selected by many to reach the final round through the lower half of the draw, easily disposed of Charming G Burrows of Brooklyn. at Gz-1. 6-3, 6-3 l Tilden played a hard. fast. smanhing l SdiIiS anu DQlIOWS " do NVS4uCN4y .OA the defensive at all times.
 The Chicago entrants, Ralph H Burdick and Walter T. Hayes also won in straight sets. Hayes defeated E. H. Hendrickson Of Amherst, the L1esent New England intercollegiate champion, at 6-1. 6-2, 62- Burdicl eliminated A. H. Chapm. Jr., O Springfield. 6-3, 6-1. 6-1.
 The veteran Beals c. Wright of Boh- ten disposed of Dr. B. F. Drake O New Rochelle with the loss of bu two games in three sets. Wrigh showed surprising form and steadi ness.
 Among the younger entrants, Vim cent Richards and Frank T. Anderson both of Greater New York, gave a re markable exhibition of high clahs ten his for so youthful a pair. Richards who holds the doubles championship with Tiiden. won at 6-1. 6-3. 6-5. Bu the score does not indicate either tn closeness or the quality of the play.

SERVICE MEDAL

In the report of citations in France
in the American army for acts of BRAY
cry, published in the New York papers
of last Tuesday, the names of those
who won the Distinguished Service
medals are given. Among these hon.
ors bestowed by General Pershing was
Alan Mutt of Edgewater Heights,
GrantwOOd. The report says:
First Lieut.. Alan Mutt (deceased),
pilot, Ninety-fourth Aero Squadron.
For extraordinary heroism in action
near FORCES, France, September &c,
1918. While on patrol Lieutenant
Mutt encountered and unhesitatingly
attacked eight Fokker planes. After
few minutes of severe fighting, dur
ing which he displayed indomitable
courage and determination, this officer
shot down one of the enemy planes.
Totally surrounded, outnumbered and
without a thought of escape, he con-
tinued the attack until he was shot
down in flames near DrillancOurt'
Next of kin: Robert H. Mutt, Cliff
side, N. J."
A close friend of the Mutt family, in
speaking of this honor report this
week, said: "What sorrowful ending
of this beloved boy! And yet what a
glorious death. Think of it, complete
ly surrounded and outnumbered. dis
playing such wonderful courage and
declining to quit contest in which
there would have been no dishonor
had he tried to save himself. 1t is bit
terly sad, vet one of the great heroic
deeds of the war. We all feel proud
of that poor boy. God bless his mem
ory."

Ernest Tyler Gets Word to That
Effect Relative to Lieut..
J. c. Tyler.
WAS CITED FOR BRAVERY.

Ernest Tyler of Linden street has
received word from France that his
nephew, Lieut.. John C. Tyler, aviator,
was probably killed in action on Sep
TENDER 16 This information is inn
piled in letter recently received from
one Of the other officers in Tyler's
command. The letter uses the past
tense whenever it mentions Lieutenant
Tyler and causes the reader to believe
the worst has happened
Inclosed with the communication
from France is a duplicate of GER
tificate of citation which young Tyler
had received for extraordinary cOur-
ageOusness in downing enemy planes.
The letter says in part:
Honest John Tyler was sort of
nickname we had given him, partly in
fun, but when you stop to think, it Is
splendid tribute. He was honest and
aboveboard in everything, and every
one who knew him loved him.
MANY others in the service have
made the unusual situation and envi-
rOnment in France an excuse for slack
ening in moral standards and ideals,
but John never let anything affect him.
For him there could be no let-dOwn,
and ! am sure If / could write you
everything he had done in France it
would make you still happier and
prOuder to have been relative of his.
'As pilot, John was one of the first
three picked as deserving a command.
One squadron head officially reported
him as being the best American bomb
ing pilot on the western front"
Lieutenant Tyler was twenty-five
years of age and was born in Brook
Ign. He received part of his early edu-
cation at the Polytechnic Institute.
Later he went to Williams College and
received degree there. He was a
member of Psi Epsilon Fraternity.
After graduation from Williams he en-
tered the Boston Institute of TechnOl-
ogy and upon receiving his diploma in
mechanical engineering enlisted in the
aviation corps and completed his train.
ing in France. He was soon placed in
command Of French escadrille, which
he soon left for an American squadron.
His first work was arranging gun
sights for new pilots.
Young Tyler has been missing since
September 16.

by Mr.. r. r. Brown were given liberal
applause, and they gave touch of
heart interest to the meeting that was
very much in evidence. Mr.. Brown
said the letters nearly all indicated
certain self abnegation, and their read
ing bore out this thought. There was
also tenderness and sincerity, as
well as a certain form of humor, in
the letters that everybody enjoyed.

ANOTHER BERGEN BOY,
DONALD Russell, DEAD
AT BATTLE FRONT

Corporal Donald J. Russell, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Russell of SO
Euclid avenue, has paid the supreme
sacrifice, according to a message re-
ceived in Hackensack last Wednesday
evening from Washington, announcing
that he had been killed in action in
France on October II.
Corporal Russell was member of
old Company G, now Company G, One
Hundred and Fourteenth United
States Infantry. He went overseas
last June with his regiment after a
stay of several months at Camp Nc
Clellan, Admission, Ala. 1t is probable
he was active in the severe fighting
his regiment saw in the ArgOnne for
est, in which other Hackensack boys
lost their lives.
Russell was popular in local society
and was member of the A. NJ. o. and
other organizations, to whom his
death comes as a distinct shock. Up
to the time of his departure from
Hackensack he was employed as clerk
in the bank of the Peoples Trust and
Guaranty Company. His father is
manager of the local plant of Armour
& Co.
