cided upon his plan Of battle, Hayes
proceeded to outplay the youngster by
wide margin.
Slowly but surely Richards wss
forced into the back of the court as
Hayes drove deep and true, niching the
side lines with placement shots as his
opponenTs attempted to get into posi-
ton to volley. When the boy did sue
ceed IN getting inside the service court
line, it was only to come to grief. for
hayes methodically lobbed over his
head, and with such splendid accuracy
that the ball landed within inches Of
the base ll7e, with Richards raciag
madiy back to try TO rntercept it. The
youngsrer could only win a single game
IN TINS set. before Hayes ran cut his
SIX gamas for the set and match.
1t need not be said that Richards
was not within 10 of his top game.
ing the brief match did he hit the
ball truly and cleanly, and most of the
time he had so softened his strokes
IN valniy trying for accuracy that
hayes was able 10 leap in for a kill.
1llden played very streaky tennis
against young Craven before he won
at 6-S, 6-3 In each set. after rush
ing along at such pace that the
California boy seemed hopelessly out
classed, the champion would loaf and
try all kinds of shots and let down in
his speed, with the result that Craven.
very determined to make showing
and going after everything, came along
and took three games in each session.
Ihese tactics may prove perilous

Here is player whose tennis is very

the ball and does not cling to the
more sensational style of play we are
accustomed to see in the California
game, yet he is extremely accurate
IN his playing and keen volleyer.
Ihe probabilities are, however, that
Illden viii take matters more seri-
ously, IN which case he should come
through in straight sets.
Tilden and Richards, after their
very narrow escape from defeat the
day before at the hands of Lucien
Williams and Jimmy Weber, took no
chances this afternoon against Miller
and kenfeld, and won in straight sets
at Go, 6--3. The champions have
not been playing their best game since
coming West, and they Will have to
reach the championship.
