instead of preceding him as in the OPEN
ing set. Each man won on service until
the score was tied at 3 all. Mathey made
four double faults In the fifth game. but
his team won the game after deuce had
been called twice. Mathey incidentally
made UP for his double faults In this
game by his brilliant work at the net.
On the eighth game Man and Mathey.
by brilliant team work. broke through
Richards's service and won the set by
taking the following game. At this stage
the teams were all square on games and
points.
Again in the third set the first six
games were won on service, Man ana
Mathey taking all three OF their games
in this run without the loss of a point.
Richards and Tilden came along strong
after that and carried OF three games
in a row by playing speedy and brilliant
tennis Tilden was far the better In the
doubles than he had been In the singles.
He made half dozen service aces and
his severe delivery was the direct cause
of many another point scored by his
team.

Kumasae and Hunter Beaten.
Another interesting match in the
doubles was that in which Alexander and
voshell. the Pri-State champions, de-
feated Ichiya Kumagae and Francis T.
Hunter in straight heats after a hard
fight at Sc. rs. Like Tilden, Voshell
also was better in the doubles than he
had been in the singles. There were
stretches, however, when both he and
Alexander were inclined to be wild. II
was in these stretches that Kumagae
and Hunter got In their best ticks and
made the match as close as It was.
One of the features of the days play
was the return TO competition of Beals
c. Wright and Holcombe Ward as a
doubles team. Ward and Wright were
the national doubles champions in 1904,
1905 and 1906 The two veterans were
drawn against Hall and Beekman and
were beaten in straight sets at GO,
"a
In spite OF the fact that they did not
win enough games to carry of the
match the veterans displayed some re-
markably fine tennis. Their team work
was good and their strokes for most part
were excellent. The strokes, however,
lacked the old time steam and the team
work was hamDered by lack Of speed.
CRiffornfans Won Two Matches.
Robert Kinsey and Axel Craven, the
vOlinR CalifnrnianS fun matches
during the course of the day In tho
first round they had no difficulty at all
in beating II. T. Dickinson and H. Vail
at 6-1, 6-3, but in the second round
they were forced to play three sets be-
fore they disposed of Fred Inman and
Harry S. Parker at s--6. 6-3, GO.
Craven was eliminated from the
singles by Beekman in a very pretty
match which the Princeton player won
in straight sets at Ga. Ga. Craven
continued TO show some brilliant tennis
but his game was not as steady as that
OF Beekman.
Fred Alexander, who has been con-
fining his tennis activities to doubles re-
Gently, showed to-day that he still has
plenty of good tennis in him. He gained
his place in the semi-final round by de-
feating Hunter in straight sets at Ga,
6-1.
Hall In Semi-Final.
Hall moved up to the semi-fnal round
by winning easily in straight sets from
II. T. Dickinson at "a, Go.
