Williams played a strong game
against his doubles teammate when
they opposed each other inthe singles.
but he was erratic at times. Often
he left washburn helpless by driv-
ing him from one side of the court
to the other for an opening, but his
service was poor and he double fault
ed seven times, rarely getting the
first ball in.
On Defensive at start.
Washburn was strictly on the de-
fensive in the first set. which he lost
through Williams accurate cross
court smashes at the net. In this
set Williams smashing and driving
was superbly accurate.
washburn demonstrated his steadi-
ness in the second set. when he
stroked the ball to a hairs breadth
for placements. Williams played in
differently in this set, taking only
twenty-four points.
A ten-minute rest at the end OF the
third set helped the New Yorker. and
when the fourth opened he took the
offensive. forcing williams stiffly and
not giving the latter opportunity to
get started. Williams service was
poor and he lost the sixth game
through a double fault.
Ine 1ourtn set games went with
service up to the sixth when with
Williams serving Washburn demon
strated his accuracy and court craft.
The score went to deuce seven times,
but Williams wildness lost him the
game. He played poor tennis through
out the rest of the match.
Outclass Their Rivals.
The one-sided defeat of the Pa
cific coast champions in the doubles
was due mainly to the brilliant net
play of Washburn, whose accurate
cross court Smashes could not be
touched. The eastern pair took the
offensive from the very start and SC
swift was their attack that the Kin
ssy'S never got started.
Older tournament experience out
generated the two youths who were
rated fourth in the national doubles
standing last year and had been IA
vored to win today. The Kinsey's
never really found a defense for their
opponents smashing net attack.

Now here is something which will

puzzled about that so-called knockout
blow, and he asked Dempsey what
spot 1t landed on. This was a day or
two after the fight
Exacted Promise to Wait.
''Ill tell you" said Jack. but you
must promise to wait month before
you publish 1t. That knockout punch
of mine was blow on Carpenters
shoulder. That's the absolute truth.
He had enough and decided to go
down and stay down. OF course. he
was dazed and practically helpless
from the right-hand punch that first
put him to the floor. but. on my word.
the last punch 1 delivered landed on
his shoulder
to sniff over Georges Willingness to
take it. But they have to remember
| that for three rounds the Frenchman
had been taking princely wallopfng.
and he wasn't set for it. He came

other Beckett. In he jumped to make
| a quick finish. Then. bing! He got a
| body punch. then another. then a
| Short-arm clip on the jaw. all of them
| like nothing he had ever received
Then. in the second round, when he
put all he had into a right which
didn't even daze Dempsey. he knew
his end was at hand.
| The right to the jaw. which put him
/ down the first time. was folloW-uI
| to q stomach punch a minute earlier
which did the real damage That is
plainly shown in the pictures. The
pictures. as said. don't show that the
final right-hand punch landed on the
shoulder. but the writer is willing tt
