Forest Hills, N. T.. Aug. 29.-Thun- der storms seriously interferred with the progress of the thirty seventh an- nual national singles tennis champ ionship tournament here today, only three complete matches being finished during the afternoon. The play of the leading favorites for final honors was as uncertain as the weather, bril- liant racquet work being mixed with mediocre tennis which at times sur prised the gallery, which clung to the stands until a final downpour drove both players and spectators to shel- ter.
 Chief interest centered in the play ing of R. Lindley Murray of Niagara Falls, N. Y, and W. T. Tilden, Jr, of Philadelphia, and both had narrow es- cape from being eliminated as the re- suit of long drawn out contests with two veteran New Workers, Frederick R. Alexander and Walter Merrill Hall, respectively. Murray succeeded in de- feating Alexander just as the rain ter minated the days play, but the down. pour found Tilden and Hall still bat ting for the fifth and deciding set.
 Alexander played the more consist ent and better game from standpoint of technique, but Marry always ap- peared to have something in reserve as his repeated service aceing and ter rife smashes showed, when a point was absolutely needed to clinch game or set. When he was playing at his best his superiority was shown by the two love sets which he won during the match which ended at 6-S, S-6 60, 4-6, 6-0
 Tilden was not so fortunate, for he could not stop Hall at critical moments despite his splendid command of stok- es and the end of play found Hall leading at 6-3, 1-6, 7-5 deuce and Til- den. Hall was playing the better ten- his when the storm drove them to the clubhouse.
 Previously to these matches S. How ard Voshell of Brooklyn had won his way into the semi final round in the upper half of the draw by defeating Lieutenant Craig Riddle of Philadelphia by scores of 6-2, 6-3, 9-7.
 Nat Niles, the former Harvard star playing from the Longwood Club of Boston, was not seriously extended in winning from E. H, Binzen, of New York, taking three sets at 7-5. so 6-2.
 One of the two Japanese entrants was eliminated when .Seiichiro Kashic | lost the fourth set of the match against | Lyle E. Mahan of New York at 8-6 With the score standing at 8-6. 8-6 6-S, all in Mahan's favor on We'd nesday, darkness put an end to the | play. The doughty Japanese and the | towering New Workers resumed al l that point this afternoon, and after a number of long rallies Mahan wae 1 able to clinch the two games needed tt
 win the match.
 | Ichiya Kumagae and Beals Wright | the former internationalist. were wag. 1 ing a merry battle with the racquet:
 when their play was halted by tht
 rain. Wright leading at 9-8.
