TO. This match was only two out oi
three by agreement because of the late
hour at which 1t began.
Carl's play yesterday against Cravis
was a typical comeback to form after
his notable struggle and victory over
DR.. Philip b. Hawk on Saturday. The
singles match yesterday began at II sc
o'clock. Cravis played remarkably
fine game in the first set. passing Car
down the sidelincs, cross court ant
forcing him fhto errors by drives al
his feet. In fact Cravis really wOr
this set just as he pleased. In the
next. Carl improved somewhat at tn,
beginning, but still Cravis managed
to get a three 1.-TWO lead on him ant
1t looked as though he probably would
drop the second set also. But Car
came. back stronger and stronger each
S.3. '''.
In the third set. Crayis, who ha.
bad q hard week of tennis. with littl,
practice for the past month, began e
weaken. while Carl became steadil,
stronger. This resulted in a 6-1 vic.
tory for Carl. At the end of the thirt
set, the players were taking their pre-
scribed rest period when the downpoul
came.
Not until nearly 4 o'clock wer,
Fischer and Cravis able to get bacl
on the courts. When they did, eacl
declared that he was greatly refreshed
by the long wait. but evidently Fischer
had the better of the recuperating. 70,
he hammered out love act and tn,
match in short order. Cravis was mo-
able to drive deep enough to keep Car
away froui the net, the result bein,
that Carl rushed to the net and KILLED
In clean cut style in every game.
The. point score shows how Fischer
came back:
