nexed the women's doubles champion
ship by defeating Miss Kathleen Nc
Kane and her sister, Mrs. Stocks. OF
England in straight sets. 60. 6-4.
Mile. Lenglen's playing was the
feature of thei mixed doubles ANAL.
Lycett, who with Miss Ryan. opposed
the French star and Wood. seemed tired
after his two previous matches Of the
day. Although Lvcett and Miss Ryan
played we'll. they could not match the
spectacular shots of their rivalsiand lost
In straight sets, 6-4. 6-3.
Miss Ryan, and Lycett won their
match from J. B. Gilbert and Mrs r. J.
McNair of England. 6-2, 6--1, and the
French champion and her Australian
partner eliminated c. J. Tindell Green
and Mrs. J. S. Youle. 6--2. 6--2. In the
semi finals.
Win Uphill Battle!
In the mems doubles Lycett and An
derson won a great uphill fght after
losing the first two sets. Lycett's won-
derful playing featured the match and
caused his admirers to acclaim him as
one of the greatest doubles players in
the world. He pulled Anderson through
in the thick Of the match when his part
ner. was losing point after point by
missing easy balls at the net.
Although Lycett seemed disheartened
In the early sets. he pulled himself
together and took command In winning
the last three sets. AS a climax he cap
tured three Of Patterson's service games
after the score was five-all In the Anal
set.
Patterson's doubles playing did not
compare favorably with that otLycett.
He showed an-inclination to hang back.
II was noticed to-day that he played
back even when Wood. his partner. was
receiving the service and rarely got
forward after returning service ball
over the net. The greatest fault charged
against Patterson, however. was his ire
quent netting Of balls off service.
Observers agreed that the Australian
star is a great server and smasher. but
that the form he exhibited to-day does
not promise well for his~chances for
recapturng the Davis cup.
Patterson Going strong.
The Anal Of the mems doubles began
with Patterson smashing In great style.
AS Lycett. instead Of playing his usual
strong doubles game, seemed somewhat
demoralized, and Anderson was weak
ened as a result, Patterson and Wood
took the first set. 6--S.
\ Patterson and Wood also led In the
second set at 81 when Lycett won hie
service game. Lycett and Anderson
} then rallied, threatening the lead OF
their opponents at 6--5 and again al
7-6, but Patterson scored the nnal
point in a 81 victory.
i The third set was played at furious
speed, Lycett's work improving 80
\ greatly that he was tho individual star
] Patterson appeared to have trouble
playing shots off the ground, while An
derson footfaulted several times. The
set was carried to three all. when Ly-
cett lost his service game. Wood, how
Woods playing became weaker and
he began missing volleys Of the kind
he had returned earlier for brilliant
aces. Anderson and Lycett showed bril-.
liant all around play, taking the set
6--4, when Patterson lost his servic'
