Humagae was OF his game to-day, his
mound strokes being at fault almost
nom the start. and he sent many balls
,to the net that ordinarily would have
struck the lines for placement aces.
When he attempted TO smother Hayes's
shots by going to the net Kumagae came
TO grief, for the Chicago veteran tricked
him out Of position, driving his returns
short. so that they fell into the service
court, and then when the Jap had raced
in to get his racquet on the ball Hayes
can't up deep and beautifully timed lobs

Kumagae fought hard and courageously
against, impending defeat. pulling up in
both sets after Hayes had worked into
Substantial leads. but he could never gain
full control Of his strokes. and his play
sppeared more ragged to-day than at
any time this season.

whereas Tildkn's gained in power and
