There was only one upset yesterday,
that being the defeat of Capt. Norman
Peach, captain of the Australian Davis
cup team, by w. w. Ingraham, a
Providence youth. who allowed the
Anzac only eight games on the three
sets. Peach and Ignacio de la Bor-
bolla, the Mexican champion. were the
only foreign entrants to fall by the
Wayside. The Mexican title holder
found Leroy too steady for his tabas-
co-iike but erratic game.
Johnston, Tilden, Williams, Shimid-
zu. Jim Anderson, the Australian ace,
and other favorites came through
their matches in fine style. Anderson
played a particularly impressive game
IN defeating L, b. Rice. one of New
England's leading players, in four sets
after losing the opening one. Once
Anderson got the range he displayed
a powerful service and terrific driy-
ing to deep court that was too much
sor the American.
Johnston Merely Tunes Up.
Johnston dropped four games in
each of his three sets in his victory
over Hugh Kelleher of New York, but
this did not mean a thing to those
who watched the match. Johnston
was taking advantage of the occasion
to tune up his strokes. especially his
packhand. and it was noticeable that
whenever he needed a point in a
game he stepped in and got it.
There were comparatively few de-
faults, but among those to fail to
play were r. Lindley Murray. cham
pion in 1918. and winner of the pa
triotic tourney that was held in place
of the title event in 1917. Murray was
prevented from coming here on ac-
count of illness. Chuck Garland was
the only other prominent player to
default. except Ichiya Kumagae. the
japanese star. who declared himself
out several days ago on account Of an
attack OF hay fever.
Washington had two entrans in the
tourney. 1t still has one-Jack Dud-
ley. who played with much success for
Swarthmore during the collegiate
campaign. won by default yesterday
and will play Theodore Banks. a for
midable New Jersey player. today.
