Bpec.Gi Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD,
SEABRIofIT, ". j., Aug. s.-With three
Calfornians. three Fasteners and two
members OF the British Davis cup team
surviving, the annual Seabright invita-
tion tennis tournament reached the In
teresting stage to-day. From now on
every match In the mems singles Is GER
tain to be productive OF enough thrills
to satisfy the most exacting tennis fan,
with perhaps an upset or two to lend
additional spice to the progress Of tho
ovent. The same thing may be said Of
the women's division OF the tournament,
In which play has narrowed down to
eight in the round before the Semi-final.
Attracting as much attention as any
OF the tussles In mems singles was
spectacular match in women's singles in
which Mrs. May Sutton Bundy Of Los
Angles, national champion OF 1904,
went down to a straight set defeat at
the hands OF Mrs. Marion Zinderste.n
Jessup. second in American tennis rank.
1t gave the gallery plenty to talk about
until the men took the courts In the
afternoon. Only a trife less brilliant
was anotneF WoIucHS q contest III WHICH
Mrs. Franklin I. Mallory, national
champion. triumphed over Mrs. Ben
jainin e. Cole. the clay court title holder.
Two OF tho British Davis cup team,
facing players who rate near the top
IN American tennis, had to acknowledge
defeat in straight sets. They were j.
p. Gilbert who found r. Norris
Williams too fast and too decisive a
stroke specialist. and o. G. N. Turnbull.
the heaviest member of the squad. who
was run weary by young Vincent
Richards. Williams won his match at
SIS. 6-1, and Richards finished his at
CO, Ga.
The successful Britishers were Max
woosman. who deefated A. II. Chaplin,
Jr.. by comfortable margin, and F. Cor
dor Lowe. who had more or less Of

stars I'm Fourth Round.
AS they viii take the courts for the
fourth round tomorrow, those left to
fight It out in singles are Howard Kin
sey and Vincent Richards. William M.
Johnston and Dean Mathey, Robert Kin
sey and Max Woosman and r. Gordon
Lowe and r. Norris Williams. Johnston
IN advancing to-day eliminated Philip
Neer OF Stanford University. ma
tional intercollegiate champion, breezing
through the second set after being ex-
tended to the limit In the first, which
went to S-6. Johnston rarely left the
base line In the opening set. but In the
second ne began following. forcing shots
TO the net and flashed some Of the best
tennis he is capable OF.
Dean Mathey surprised with a decisive
victory over S. ". Voshell who has been
,iaying impressively of late. II was dis
tiactiy an off day for the lefthandcr,
who lost speed aud control after taking
the first set. ard was beaten 3-6 6--3,
Go. Voshell was having his troubles
getting his first service over. and he
was so slow getting 10 the net In the
rallies that Mathey, whose judgment OF
distance was unusually keen. passed
him time and again.
Mrs. Jessup rarely has been seen to
better advantage than in her match with
Mrs. Bundy. She began with a prede-
termined plan 10 attack the net per-
sistently, and she kept at 1t except for
one period early in tho second set when
after whirlwind first set she had TO
slew down temporarily. Her volleying
was crisp and well controlled. and she
was equally good overhead and on the
ground strokes that preceded her rushes
70 the net. Mrs. Bundy employed all her
skill to pass her or force her back with
lobs, but Mrs. Jessup was anticipa ting
fully.
In tho second set Mrs Bundy took ad-
vantage of a brief lapse on Mrs Jessup' 8
part to take the lead and hold up 10
"a. but her opponent, rising TO her best
tennis again, and flashing an irresistible
net game. won four games In row for
nc set and match.
Miss Browne WAS In excellent stroke
against Mrs. Robert Leroy and yielded
only ono game. while Miss Helen Wills
outsteadied and outgenerallcd Miss
Ceres Baker and won at Ga. 6--1
Mrs. Mallory Kept Moving.
Tnose who remembered that Mrs.
benjamin II. Cole OF Boston had been
a flnalist In the national indoor cham
plonship and had won the American
clay court title were not surprised to
see her extend Mrs. Franklin I. Mall
lory, all the way. Mrs. Cole had speed
a-plenty. and the sting In her strokes
ccupledwith her agility In covering court
gave Mrs. Mallory a busy time OF Il. II
was we'll for the national champion that
she was near the top OF her form. for
Mrs. Cole forced many OF the games to
deuce and made her opponent fight hard
for every point. Mrs. Mallory however
had the faculty of rising to the occa-
sion whenever an important point was
pinch and reserve speed that won for
her
The surprise In women's singles came
In the defeat OF Mrs. Helen Gilleaudeau,
Connecticut State champion, at the
hands OF Miss Margaret Grove. who led
after three hard sets. Miss Grove won
by varying length and pace slxilfully
and by coming up to the net now and
then TO finish off a rally. Miss Gilleau-
deau. however, kept the result In doubt
until the final stroke. In the only other
extra set match Miss Martha Bayard
eliminated Miss Sougourney of Boston
after n tussle that was almost a dupli-
cate of the Miss Grove-Miss Gilieaudeau
effnir.
As the draw now stands Mrs Jessup
Is coupled with Miss Bancroft and Miss
Martha Bayard with Mrs Mallory In
the upper half, while In tho other half
Miss Eleanor Gosh is to play Miss Helen
Wills and Miss Grove is to meet Miss
Browne.
In mems doubles Theodore r. pell and
Karl Behr. r. Norris Williams and Wat
son M. Washburn. Robert and Howard
Kinsey and William NJ Johnston and
Willis E Davis were among the teams
10 advance. while In women's doubles
ono team. Miss Ceres Baker and Miss
Grace Bristed, reached the sem-final.
The strongest teams in women's doubles
apparently are Miss Eleanor Gosh and
