The Californian had lots of fun driv-

Cragin around the court with great glee.
Cragin. although he has not reached the

Furthermore. although he is a veteran

by Cragin.
Californian Grows wild.
Mclaughlin started the service and
won the first game without any great
trouble. Cragin had his own delivery
working pretty well and carried the
next game to deu"e three times before
the game went to Mclaughlin The Cal
ifornian also carried off the next and
had the lead at 80. Mclaughlin had
a streak of wildness in the next three
games and lost them all. This was due
to the fact that he was trying out his
forehand drives and gauging his dis
tance.
! He overhit the bail frequently and
gave away many points by having the
ball drop a few inches out of bounds.
Mac" however, found his pace and
stuck to It for the next three games,
which he ran through with the loss of
only two points. In the opening set
Mclaughlin led at 80 points TO 81, made
Is errors against Cragin's 20 and earned

In the second set Cragin had the start

of tennis and seemed able to score points

Crowd Comes to Be Shown as
Regards Patterson'S ProWeSS

Outside of the interest taken in what
McLoughlin would or would not do, the
onlooxers felt that the centre of attrac-
tion for the afternoon would be the
match between Patterson and Alexander.
Patterson had been practically an un-
known quantity, for although he had
been heralded after his victory in the
British championship as a world beater.
American lovers Of tennis like to be
shown.
What the young Australian had dis
played in his tennis here, in spite OF the
fact that all of his tournament play
had been confined to doubles, did not
tend to make him greatly feared as
possible winner of the singles cham
pionship His work against Alexander
was nothing exceptional. In fact 1t was
not even as good as expected for II
was considerably below championship
calibre.
This In no way takes away from
Alexander. either as to his skill as a
player or to the brand Of tennis that
he put up yesterday in carrying the
Australian to fve sets. There are a
few salient facts in connection with all
of this, however that cannot be over
looked.
In the first place Alexander Is a vet
eran of the courts He was representing
America as a Davis cup player in 1908
when PATTERSON was only IL years old
and was just beginning to play the game.
Alexander although always a strong
singles player. devoted practically all of
his attention to doubles and never won
the singles title in this country. The
highest place he ever reached In singles
ranking was third and for the last few
1 years he has done less singles playing
than ever.
Notwithstanding these circumstances.
and also the fact that Patterson came
here after beating the pick OF the Euro
pean players in the tournament at Wim-
! bledon, the young Australian managed
to win only through his greater staying
power. There surely can be no doubt In
the minds OF those who saw the match
thas Alexander outplayed Patterson by
, a wide margin in the first two sets, and
even in the later sets when he was able
: rival the veteran outshone his younger
/ opponent.
Alexander Makes 'Em Set Up.
The first three games OF the opening
! set made the onlookers. cape. for while
! Alexander was rompine off with the
whole trio Patterson was able to score
! only one point, and that on a kill OF a
! short lob. Incidentally this was one OF
the very few short lobs that Alexander
made until his strength began to wahe
/ toward the close of the match.
/ In the fourth game 16 points were
played before Patterson won 1t. II took
| 22 points to decide the fifth In favor oi
Alexander. This gave Alexander the
lead at Al. and although he slowed VI
enough to lose three of the next five
games. Alexander had gained sufficient
margin on which to win.

Murray showed that he should be in
the hunt for the championship which he
is trying TO defend by the easy manner
in which he won in straight love sets
from William Rosenbaum of New York. a
fairly strong player. The champion had
all of his strokes working In perfect
shape and made very few errors.

the prettiest tennis Of the day, for It
was replete with long rallies. brilliant

would be hard to conceive how any two
men could have been more evenly
matched In all departments of the game

manage by hook or crook to make re-
turns no matter how difficult the
ball might appear. And IL both we're in
forecourt the volleying rally which en-
sued would be long and keenly con-
tested
Voshell seemed to have a little the
better of the argument when he was
at the net, but Doyle made up for this
by his ability to shoot over clean pass
ing strokes deep to Voshell's forehand.
Voshells service was a little more severe,
but not enough SO to make a great diff
ference over the stretch Of 1--WE sets.
In most matches that go the entire
route II is no hard thing to pick out a
set which stands above all the others.
In the Voshell-Doyle conflict, however, 1t
would be impossible to state that one
set was better than any other. All hve
were superb. and each one supplied its
own quota of brilliant strokes.
Doyle Starts Well.
Doyle started service and won the
opening game. The next two were di-
vided on delivery, but Voshell broke
through and took the lead on the fifth
game after he had won the fourth on
his own service. Doyle showed no signs
Of weakening, however, and retaliated
by taking the sixth and seventh games,
which gave him the lead at As. Voshell.
by a remarkable burst Of speed and won
derful work at the net, carried on the
next three games, which gave him the
opening set, with a margin Of only FIVE
points separating the players.
voshell had little slump in the early
games Of the second set and Doyle
went into the lead, at Al. Voshell
recovered and fought as hard as he
could. but the Washington man hung on
with bulldog tenacity and hung on
lead until he had taken the set. The
third set was practically a repitition OF
the second, but the fourth was hum
mer.
In the fourth the men alternated,
winning on service until Doyle led. at
5-4. In the tenth game. after Voshell
had the lead, a. 40-15. he dropped
back, and Doyle came within point
of the set and match three times. Each
time, Voshell pulled up, and finally tod'
the game which he followed with two
more and evened up the match Voshell

tc extend himself in the third set and
let many a stroke go/ by him that he
would have accounted for easily in the
first or second sets. He still attempted
to pull Patterson out OF position every
once in a while by popping the ball back
over the Australians head, but invar-
ia bly, dropped the ball short and opened
up the way for an easy kill by the visi-
tor. Alexander scored only l3 points
against 20 for Patterson. The Amer
can had TO earn 9 OF these, as Patterson
made only four errors.
Many thought that Alexander would
come back strong after the rest follow
ing the third set but when he dropped
the first four games 1t was very evident
that he did not have the recuperative
powers of younger man. Although
he fought gamely. Alexander could mot
10 d the pace 'ong enough to do him any
good and had to devote his time toward
chasing Patterson around the court In
the hope that perhaps the Australian
might tire too.
Loses Big Chance.
Alexander had great chance IN the
fifth set, but could not make the most
of it Alexander gained the lead at
2-1 In this set and on the fourth game
was out In front at $40 on Patter-
sons service. He had four chances to

time faltered. and Patterson finally won
the game after deuce had been called

In the next three games Alexander
