DAVIS CUP PAIR
FACES HARD TEST
Williams and Washburn Oppose
Johnston and Davis in
Semi-Final Today
TILDEN IN MIXED DOUBLES

Boston, Mass. Aug. 25.-Semi final
matches IN the national lawn tennis
tournament have produced struggles
between intersectional teams in both
halves Of the draw and the winners
In each quarter are the logical combinn
tions for the matches leading to the
climax Of the championship, which has
narrowed down to survival Of the
fittest.
Richard Norris Williams. I'd, Of Bos-
ton, and Watson Washburn, Of New
York. likely Davis Cup defenders in
doubles, will oppose William NJ. John
ston and William f. Davis, Of San
Francisco, this afternoon in the upper
section. and tomorrow afternoon Will
liam II. Tilden, I'd, Of Philadelphia, and
Vincent Richards, Of New York. will
face Robert and Howard Kinsey, Of
San Francisco.
Tilden and Richards have hammered
their way to the semi finals more
through their individual brilliancy as
singles than by any team work. They
still lack the smoothness that other
teams Of lesser ability have been show
ing, but this individuality may be suf-
fcient to prevail over superior team
work offered by opponents of lesser
stroke strategy.
The mixed doubles tournament is CO.
ing along smoothly, with the favorites
advancing. and the play to date seems
to indicate, final round match, with
Mrs. Mola Bjurstedt Mallory and Til
den against Miss Mary X. Browne and
Johnston.
The women's special invitation
singles tourney was advanced to the
semi final round, with three of these
brackets filled by Miss Edith Sigour-
ney, Miss Leslie Bancroft and Miss
Mary X. Browne. Mrs. May Sutton
| Bundy and Miss Eleanora Sears, who
| are one round behind, will meet them
in the struggle to gain the vacant semi =
| final bracket. The winner of this match
will meet Miss Sigourney in the tor
| half. and Miss Bancroft and Miss
Browne will clash in the other semi
final match. The final round will be
played tomorrow morning.
| The seven other national title events
on the program all made substantial
progress and unless rain interferes be-
tween now and Saturday, everything
will be completed on schedule time.
One of the striking features of th'
week of tennis at Longwood is thu
showing Of the younger element. Thu
juniors and boys singles and double
have attracted youths from all owe
this broad land.
Williams and .Washburn, although
selected ms the strongest team in tn
United States by the Davis Cup Com
mittee a couple Of weeks ago, were un
comfortably close to defeat in thei
third round match with =. Howar'
Noshell and Samuel Hardy, of New
York.
The sets were scored at Ga, GA
3-6, Ga. Had it not been for fata
and glarng errors by Hardy. particu
larly in tho closing chapters of the las
set, after he and Voshell were leadin
at 81, the New York team would hav
worked one of the greatest upsets of tn
tennis year.
No fault could be found with Voshell'
playing. Taking the match as a whole
he was the best man on the court. Wit
keener support on the part of Hardy
who was never keyed up to Noshelr
fighting pitch, the Davis Cup team
would almost certainly have been de
feated.

The New York herald., 1921-02-27

With this In mind, I had taken
time to read several Christian Sci
ence sermons, which were pub
lished recently In the Sunday edi-
tions Of the New York newspapers, by
Mrs Augusta q. Stetson, @. S. D., to
find some clue to her position In the
dispute.

learned that Mrs. Stetson had
been sent here many years ago by
Mrs, Mary Baker Eddy, and that she,
with her students, had built First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, at Nine
ty-6xth street and Central Park West,
at q cost Of $1.250, 900, and dedicated
1t, free Of debt, as soon as completed.
These sermons convinced me that
Mrs. Stetson understands and Is
wholly loyal to the science which
Mrs. Eddy gave to her followers, and
that she is convinced that the product
Of her versatile pen and logic of her
presentation will give much light to
those whom she calls doubters and
seekers for Truth, upon a religion for
which it Is claimed that, If demon
strable, every one will be eager to in
vestigate and possess.
Desiring to secure an authoritative
statement regarding the momentous
issues in the Christian Science Church,
! sought an interview with
Mrs. Stetson, who did not know me.
Perhaps was moved also by desire
to see If the Christian Science teach
ing was being proved in unimpaired
faculties, health and prosperity by
this woman, whom a large following
claims as one Of New York's valued
citizens Certainly 1t has for years
honored her for brave, unflinchlng
defense Of the religion which she be-
lieves and declares Is Christ's gift to
the world, rediscovered by Mrs. Eddy.
I therefore rang the bell at the brick
and marble residence which, learned,
Mrs. Stetson built, owns and has oc-
cupied for fifteen years.
