Strokes Have More Pace
Richards looked in better playing
form yesterday than on Monday, his
strokes having more pace and his
volleying and overhead play being
more effective. In the third round he
brcezed through the first set Of his
match with Robert ]. Davis, at Go,
but in the second he loafed consider
ably, with the result that Davis forced
the set to Cd before Richards came
through with the finishing points.
In the next round, against stronger
pponent-Kenneth Fisher, Staten Is
land ampion-Richards let himself
out and won at Go, GO, At this
stage the junior marvel was moving
inside the service court lines for daz-
zling sessions of volleying, smothering
Fishers terrific forehand drives with
ease and deadly accuracy, and when he
elected to swap drives from deep court
Richards employed a slice that gave
stroke" effectively.
1t was Fishers misfortune to run
into Richards just at the time when
the latter was speeding up in his play.
In an earlier match the Staten Island
star had won a decisive victory over
w. Z. H. Richards. the last of the Ca
madam entries, taking two sets at
"love," through the power of his deep
court driving.
Little shimizn first defeated Carl
Joliff, Of Montclair, at 6-3, 6-2, and
then overwhelmed l. J. Biltschick at
60, 81. The Japanese star was in
wonderful command of his shots yes
terday, hitting the lines time, and
again from deep court and also finish
ing off his points at the net with sur
prising power. The man who beats
Shimizu at this tournament is going to
win the championship, if appearances
count for anything.
Howard kinsey Wins Two
Howard Kinsey, of California, play
ing unevenly, won two matches during
the afternoon, first disposng of G. G.
Moore jr., at ST, Ga, Go, and then
defeating Cedric A. Major by score of
6-3, 3-6, Go kinsey has not yet
become accustomed TO the turf surfa ces.
SO that he experienced considerable
difficulty at times with the slow bound
of the ball. When he got the hang OF
it in the last set of both his matches,
however, he played with brilliance, as
the scores indicate.
Neer gained his place by defeating
Alfred S. Dabney, of Longwood, by a
score of ca, 6-3 his aggressive play
at the net being too powerful for Dab
ney to handle successfully
pt,I
from young Jim Davies, Of California,
before the Davis Cup man could take
the honors. They had left off at 2-1
in the second set on Monday, when
rain forced a postponement, and re
sumed from that point yesterday.
Davies was not the same dashing player
this time that he had shown himself
to be on Monday, his service being
erratic and his ground strokes uneven,
whereas Washburn was in better play
ing form.
