IN ADDITION TO the battle OF the
year" which is part Of the lower
portion Of the draw. the program for

ton. against James O. Anderson.

land. against Stanley w. Pearson,

cisco. against William ]. Clothier.

Biddle I'm Fifth Round.
Craig Biddle. the veteran racketer of
. this city. is the only player who has
advanced to the fifth round, this being
due to the fact that he drew a bye at
the start and is at the top in the upper
half OF the bracket.
Only two foreign players remain in
the competition-Anders the Anzac.
they have shown the Antipodean ap-
pears to be the only real menace and
if he beats Williams today almost
surely will be a finalist.
Anderson looked mighty good yester-
day in putting out his teammate, John
B. Hawkes., 1o-s, SO. 63. display
ing a powerful service and deep and
accurate strokes that overwhelmed
his fellow countryman. He was slow
getting started, but once he got under
Williams also shone. He scored at
the expense of s. Howard Voshell of
New York, IS, S-3. 60, and any
player that beats the clever southpaw
that handily has to be right. Williams
has abandoned much Of his reckless
ness of play and the caution he Is
showing in waiting for openings. in
stead Of pressing his game, has caused
the experts to concede him a fine
chance for the title.
LoHe Wins Endurance Contest.
Lowe downed Dean Mathey, New
that, was a test Of endurance. They
figured in long rallies for practically
every point, and were on the court
eor more than two-shours. Both play
ed heady and steady tennis, but 1t
was lacking in force. The second set
really decided the issue, both players
being nearly exhausted when 1t was
finished. Mathey. while leading TO.
twice held the Brfton at set points. but
could not deliver. - - =-

Spectators Given . Treat.
Johnston and Richards gave the
spectators the treat of their lives in
their match. and both of the players
were given a tremendous and we'll de-
served ovation when they left the cen-
ter court Richards put up a valiant
battle and Johnston showed superman
tennis to gain the victory. 1t was
another case of experience winning
over youth. When the brilliancy of
their play is considered there is hard
" mites difference, the superior
knowledge of court strategy turning
tho tide the veterans way.
During the first two sets Richards
played unbeatable tennis. His first
ball was cutting through the service
court at terrific pace and his volley-
marvellous. His game was so rapid |
hre in nature that. while he outplaced |
Johnston by only the narrowest of |
margins In his two winning sets, he !
was forcing the Californian to make
nets and outs, for the simple reason
that Johnston could not stroke the ball. !
Johnston Switches Taetics.
It was at the beginning of the third |
set that Johnston changed his tactics
to include perfect lob to deep court |
and IT was this that won for him in
the end. Finding that this method
