of 6-3, 6-3, Go, and William NJ
Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, of
California. went through by default
over l.. Thalheimer and Levin Jester,
Southwestern title holders, who had
evidently decided it would be useless
for them to make the long trip from
Texas TO compete against a field of
such high quality. Everybody here
agrees that the Southwestern pair
showed splendid judgment.
Patterson made q great impression
with the Boston galleries in this match.
II was the first time he had ever ap-
peared in this city and his tremendous
smashing Of lobs, coupled with his
Hurricane" service, did much to popu-
lsrize him with BoStonians. who like
action, dynamic and continuous, in
their lawn tennis.
Patterson Gains Honors
Some Of the young Australians
cfHSleS
ton were stirring in the extreme, the
exchanges being lightning fast and
Patterson gaining the honors in
majority of gases. There has been
nothing comparable to his smashing
and killing" on American courts since
NcLoughin was the comet" The
Australian has much sitter arm in
bringing off these shots than our own
"Red Mae but the results are
just about as conclusive and para
lying.
Williams and Washburn played far
better game to-day than when they
were defeated by Brooies and Patterson
at Newport last week, and the improve
ment in Williams's work was the more
pronounced. He made errors, of course,
many Of them. The style of his game
entails that penalty. but his earning
shots were more numerous and his
pay steadier all around In another
Two weeks the former national cham
pion should be going at pretty close to
his old winning pace.
The four teams that came through
ihls afternoon went into the semi-iinal
Y0und. and VIII meet tomorrow after
noon in the struggle to get into the
final brackets. In the upper half Of the
draw Brookes and Patterson viii take
the court with Alexander and Noshell
ss 345 p. m, while in 1he lower half
Mclaughlin and Bundy viii meet John
ston and Griffin.
The final round will be played on
Thursday and the challenge round on
Saturday. Friday being day of rest,

I. IIden I'd and Vincent Richards, the
present champions.
Brookes and Patterson did not look
30 formidable this afternoon as when
they won a Newport on Saturday, in
ny opinion, and it was Brookes whose
work was not mp to his usual standard.
The great Victorian was q bit slower
On his feet than usual, and his volley-
ing was erratlc, while overhead he
rarely had any power behind the rae
qaet when he smashed.

accomplished by severity.
Nasrbarn brought of some dazzling
Shots against both Brookes and Patter-
son TINS afternoon. He scored proba-
5y twice as many placement aces as
Williams, but also figured heavily in
lighted at the unrufled manner in
which Washburn went into the most
nriilng Of rallies. The bespectacled
Mashburn, whether it was Brookes or
Patterson he was dealing with at the
moment, rarely hurried a stroke in his
anxiety to gain the point, and he COW
cred Up his direction very we'll, so that
sven the crafty Brookes was misled
more than once.
The other Australian pair, while
they were defeated showed to far
peter advantage on the Longwood
courts than they did at Newport. 1t
