A large gallery turned out to see the
days tennis and It surely was furnished
with variety. There were matches OF

their contests early, and the late after

Throckmorton, on the other hand, had
only one match to play. but found that
II gave him plenty of trouble. He was

son, who won the championship last
year but who did not defend his title
in this tournament.
Fred Anderson. Sr., was quite intent
upon keeping tho crown in the Anderson
family. He had surprised onlookers in
the earlier rounds of the tournament by
the determined campaign he was making.
Yesterday Throckmorton was inclined to
take things easy at the start, but he
soon found out that he could not afford
to loaf. Thereafter. even when he was
going at his best. he found that the
veteran was a hard proposition.
Hunter also managed to get Into the
final round of the mems doubles. Play
ing with Albert J. Ostendorf. he defeated
Bassford and Steinkampf in well
fought match in the semi-final round at

Tier and Leon Croley will be the oppo-
nents Of Ostendorf and Hunter in the
championship round this afternoon. Tier
and Croley came through by defeating
Hathaway and Raymond in straight sets
at 6-4, 6-3.
Miss wagner's Game Strong.
Miss Wagner's game was exceptionally
strong and she should have won the
match in straight sets She had ten
dency. however. to grow wild at critical
stages of the opening set. thereby max
ing opportunities for Mrs. Raymond to
score. The champion led at 81. in the
first set. and again at "a. but each
time threw away points on errors.
In the second set Miss Wagner
played a more daring game than is
usual for her. She took chances on her
drives and they broke well for her with
the result that she had Mrs. Raymond
outclassed. Mrs. Raymond came back
strong in the third set and took the
lead at 30. She brought this lead up
to "a, but Miss Wagner settled down
TO steady hard play and won FIVE out
OF the next six games. enough to give
her the set and match.
Seldom II ever has a gallery seen such
a remarkable form reversal as was dis
played in the doubles. In the opening
set Mrs. Lynch and Miss Handy con-
centrated their attack on Mrs. Will
bourn to such good effect that Miss
Wagner and Mrs. WIlbouFn not only
failed to take q game, but scored only
three points in the set. In the second
set. however, Mrs. Wilbourn recovered
and with Miss Wagner carried the Sc,
along for twenty-four games before Mrs
Lynch and Miss Handy won. The sum-
