Williams Davis Match Not Close,
But Winner Develops Fine Tennis

The williams Davis afair--it was too
one sided to be called a contest-was not
lacking in high classic tennis. Practi-
cally all of this, however, was displayed
by Williams. One set was like another.
In all three Davis managed to take the
seventh game. and in the first two he
took the third. In the third set Davis
took the flrst-all of them on his own
service.
Williams pressed the attack ruthlessly
and Davis was bewildered by the bril-
liant and speedy volleying OF the former
champion. Davis seemed always to be
waiting for Williams to take the BALI on
at the net or close to it waiting for the
wasn't
Williams did not have to. nor did he
want to, depend on errors by Davis.
The Boston player was the personifica-
ton of confidence. He seemed to know
from the very beginning that he had
Davis on the run. and he kept the Cali
fornian running 1t was evident from
the first set that unless Williams broke
a leg he would run through Davis with
out much opposition. There were only
seven games in the twenty-four that
went to deuce and four of these were
won by Davis showing that the Cali
fornian had to fight hard even for the
half dozen games he won. He took one
love game from williams, while Will
Jams won six love games from him.
williams earned 46 points and made 36
errors, while Davis earned Is points and

tournament play under conditions which

While the opan championship was iT

only twelve mistakes chalked up against
