to Defeat Before Pell

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. 10
Randolph Lycett, Of the Australian
team gained his place in the third
round of the cup singles on the turf of
the Meadow Club here to-day. He Jared
better than his teammate, as r. v
Thomas, holder Of the worlds doubles
championship with Patrick O'Hara
Wood. was defeated setless by Theo-
dore Roosevelt Pell.
The victory of the American was
clean cut piece of racquet work and
was one of the outstanding features of
the opening day of the tournament here
which stands as the preliminary round
to the national championship a Forest
HILLS next week. Pell, ranked at No
10 for his performance last season,
scored at 6-3, 6--4 against Thomas
with little effort
Practically all of this international
competition was fought from deep
court. This was suited to Pell's strong
est tactics. The American sent his long
drives singing to the base line Of the
Australians court, rarely making a
faulty play. In the first set he went to
a lead of 81 on games. In the rallies
Pell brought his famous backhand into
action, often crossing Thomas for the

games in the second set. The Austral-
ian by his finely managed side line
passing also held the front position at
d. This was the best he could do,
as Pell forced the openings in spirited
rallies to win the next three games in
a row for the set and match.
