A mixed doubles event was also
started to-day under the active direction
OF Mrs. Barger Wallach, the former ma
tional woman champion, entering the
competition herself in partnership with
the young Frenchman. Jean Borotra-
The singles produced only one really
close battle to-day against Hugh Kelle-
her. Willis Davis played his fifth three
set match In three days and this time he
lost the decision. His speed over
powered Kelleher In the opener. which
he won, 6--3. but another OF his habitual
wild stroke soon Cancelled this lead and
the match was squared with a 6--f set.
In the rubber Davis led UP to 4--2. when
he lost his service on a succession OF
miserable errors. He fell behind at
4--o in the face Of Kelleher's accurate
placing, and although ne hung on for
five more games the match eventually
went against him at Sc.
Johnston impressive.
1t was impressive tennis that johnson
played against Lawrence B. Rice to-day.
ana except for tendency to net his
drives there was little fault to be found
with either his ground strokes or his
volleying. His service was also going
well, and all indications now point to the
long awaited Johnston victory in the
Newport singles.
Niles also looked strong in his de-
Ieat OIL Lewis White, young Texan
VINO flashed an exceedingly fast service
and fine drives and overhead shots.
James Davies was rewarded for his
conquest of Colbert by being given the
grand stand court this morning against
Howard Kinsey. The match however,
proved disappointing. as Davies was
utterly unable to cope with the puzzling
versatility Of kinseys game. He ran
miles to get the trick shots that always
landed IN out OF the way corners of his
court but made too many errors after
achieving his destination and lost, Go.
%. Rice won decisive victory over
Arnold w. Jones In the only other sin
giles match of the morning.
There was no denying the weakness
of the French doubles team Colbert and
Borotra, in their three set match against
Edgar w. Leonard and c. NJ Wood. Jr.
Goberts> service was utterly unreliable
and he lost a number of games by double
faulting. Borotra constantly hit the net
sxTff 4, Ia,
Kerry unsteady overhead. A double fault
BY Wood on the match point relieved a
situation which for a time threatened
to duplicate yesterdays international
tragedy
Niles and Cochet also required three
sets TO get by the team of Rice and
Ingraham. and the occasional brilliancy
Of the young Frenchman required the
full support OF his partners steadiness
to land the decision
Davis and Voshell played another OF
their customary three set matches In
eliminating Yencken and Kelleher. The
