". F. Johnso7's Victory
 Features Net Match

Philadelphia, September lo.-The defeat of Walton Nj. washburn of New York by Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia in the second round of the fortieth singles championship tournament of the United States Lawn Tennis association was the outstanding feature of the second days play on the courts of the Ger ernoon. The unexpected downfall of Washburn came after bitter turf battle by scores Of 6-3, 5-7, 2-6, 6-3. 6-3. Washburn had been generally selected as a semi f1nalist in the up- per half of the draw and his defeat by the local chop stroke artist fur nished the most startling upset of the titular tournament to date.
 Lacked Thrills
 As an exhibition of thrilling ten his from the gallery standpoint the match lacked much in the way of sensational stroklng and volleying. From the angle of tactical, strategic tennis and perfect timing of strokes, the contest reached a plane seldom seen on American courts. Every stroke was carefully and accurately planned and delivered and each play CT knew evactly what his next shot would be in the campaign for points. Errors formed 8 prominent part in the scoring of both Johnson and Washburn, but this was to be expect ed since placement points against players of their type are necessarily few and far between.
 Each took turns. in forcing the play and accommodating points on their op- ponents errors. In this respect .washburn, who was ranked seventh to Johnson's tenth at the close of the 1920 season, really held the upper hand in the first three sets, two or which he won. Johnson, however following the rest after the third set became the aggressor in the fourtn set which he won with a string or four straight games at the end. The local player followed with five more in the fifth set before Washburn could cheek his rush, and it was this string of nine victories in row that broke the internationalist. He made a game rally which netted him three games in the fifth. but Johnson clinched the victory in the ninth game.
 May Meet Williams
 As a result of his defeat or Wash- burn. the Philadelphia player appears likely to be R. Norris Williams op- ponent in the semi-fnal round, which position Johnson had held several times in past titulsr tournaments His tennis powers psice Johnson Tn the light of an impressive candidate for championship honors.
 Washburn's defeat was not the only upset of the day, however, for Nat w. Niles of Boston fell before the racquet prowess of Stanley w. Pear son. another local player, in second five-set match played in outer court. Pearson, who holds the Pennsylvania state championship, defeated Niles.

CUTS MULTIPLE PATTERNS

Both art and industry have count less occasions for the use of a means of fashioning in materials of vari- ous kinds patterns in the. forms ot scroll, script and elaborately ret ted work, says the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine in an illustrated arti- cle. Up to the present it has been necessary to do this kind of worS by hand, excepting in eases where Implications were needed in spch- numbers that it would pay to make dies, which even in their simplest forms are always costly. The work was then done by stamping. Now there is machine that will do .he same thing without dies, and though not quite so rapidly as by the stamp ing process, will do 1t just as accu- rateiy. In general way the ma chine has considerable resemblance to a sewing machine, and the tool that cuts the pattern corresponds Tn ,ts location and method of operation

 Arbuckle in Los Angeles said Mss Rappe came to his apartments to meet friend of his who wished to model some gowns for her. She had "one or two drinks" he said, after which she became hysterical. Two other women who were callers at tse apartments, he declared, looked after Miss Rappe, after which she was taken to another room and placed in care of the physician. Arbuckle said he had no intimation her il- ness was serious until informed last night that she was dead.

 In the other matches of the day the progress of the more prominent play CTS into the third round was not marked by any particularly stiff op- position except in the case of Willis Davis of San Francisco, who was forced to the full five-set limit to defeat Clarence Todd of the Aus tralasian team. Todd won the first two sets in rather impressive fash ion. but when Davis steadied his game and came to the net the Californian 8 driving, smashing and placements won.
 Physical endurance also counted on the side of the victor in this match. as in the case of the Johnson Wash burn and Pearson Niles contests.
