BOSTON. July 25.-The tennis players
participating in the New England sec
tional doubles and Longwood Bowl sin
giles will vote for continuance Of the
daylight saving law II they ever get
chance, for they awaited themselves or
It to the limit to-day. Playing on courts
much improved after the recent rains
the doubles contestants were driven
to the sem!-final round, which
win be played tomorrow. but II was
late before the days work was COM
pleted.
In the semi-finals Craig Biddle ana
Charles s. Garland will meet Irving
C. and Beals c. Wright in one match
while the contestants in the other will
he Dick Harte and G. c. Gamer, against
r. Norris Williams and Watson WASH
burn. The Wrlghts had an easy match
to-day against Peterson and Goodridge
AID paired together splendidly. They
are sure to make a good battle against
Biddle and Garland tomorrow.
Harte and Gamer, the last holders Of
the intercollegiate championship. had
two matches to-day, beating Pfaffman
and Croker in straight sets in the
morning and going the five set limit
against Reggie and Bidwell in the after
noon. Reggie and Bdwell surprised
the gallery In the morning. when they
defeated Nat Niles and A. S. Dabney,
Jr., in three straight sets. only the first
,of which was at all close.
williams and wnshburn Win.
Williams and washburn continued to
go along. After losing the first set
this afternoon, at 81, to Greenough
and Wheelwright, they got down to bust
ness and carried off the next three sets.
which gave them the match and their
place in the semi-final round, Neither
Williams nor Washburn looked to be at
top form in this match. Williams had
his service working well, but showed
considerable of his old tendency to
double fault. His driving was lacking
much of its power In the opening set,
but improved as the play advanced.
Washburn, usually the acme of steadi-
ness. made errors frequently, due In a
great measure to too much carefulness.
Biddle and Garland did not have to
! extend themselves in order to win from
Sulloway and Seaver after the even
break in the first two sets. Garland
showed the best tennis to-day that he
has displayed since his return from over
seas, where he reached the semi-hnal
| round in the British championship sim
giles at Wimbledon. Riddle. too. was in
good form. and the pair played well to-
gether.
In the singles interest centred In the
contest between the doubles partners, T.
r. Pell and Fred Inman. Pell had a lot
Of fun with his teammate. He played
continually to Inman's forehand and
counted even more on his opponents
errors than on his own efficiency In plac-
ing. Peil won both sets in the third
| round at 6-1.
Extra sets was the order of the going
in the three matches played in the fourth
round. Shaw and Rice had close
match which the former ran out after
dropping the first set. Harry Johnson
downed Pop Foster and Charles Gar
land advanced at the expense of C. P.
Gardner. Jr.
Owing to the plan for getting the
doubles out of the way the singles
scmi-finals will not be reached until
Monday. when the doubles final also will
be played. The singles finals will come
Tuesday and the challenge match on
Wednesday.
