Il Young John Whitbeck, the school
boy from Loomis Institute, Connect
sut made fine impression in his
4 match with Norris Williams. He has
made q remarkable advance in his play
his season, and although Williams
vas always the master of the situa-
liou Whitbeck always fighting hard
for his points, kept the former cham
pion pretty busy.
Williams did not make many ad-
vanees toward the net, relying upon
his severe, beautifully placed drives
fore and back hand, to gain his points.
Ehitbeek's strokes are all sound, with
tie exception of his service, which is
aiher labored, resulting in much
81 snled effort, and he gave Williams
81 iissy to do in the exchanges from
