UPSETS ANTICIPATED
IN NATIONAL TENNIS
Near Contenders Figure to Ex-
tend Topnotchers to
Limit-32 Survive.
ny SAMUEL J. BROoKMAN.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10--lnteresting
as the first two rounds OF the national
tennis championship have been. the real
thrills are yet to come. Practically all
the contenders and near-contenders have
had smooth sailing thus far. but there
are breakers ahead and the hopes OF
more than one likely aspirant are due
to be dashed to smithereens.
With the exception of William I.
clothier's triumph over Jose Alfonso OF
Spain. the surprises thus far have been
In the character Of the scores rather
than in tho ultimate results. Several
Of the topnotchers. notably James o.
Anderson Of Australia and r. Norris
Williams. have been extended beyond ex-
pectation. but have come through COM
fortably when tho occasion demanded.
Upsets are likely to come. however.
in another round or so. 1t is surpris-
ing how many critics figure. for In
stance, that Lucien L. Williams OF Yale,
national intercollegiate champion. has
chance OF beating James 0. Anderson In
the third round tomorrow. The col
legian, II Is true, has all the earmarks
OF n potential title contender and should
force the Australian to his best speed.
Anderson will have to be in better con-
troll Of his strokes than he has shown
to date, but II is difficult to see how
Lucien williams. formidable and pronns-
ing though he Is, can accomplish the
defeat OF a player who forced Tilden
to the limit OF Ave sets last week. pro-
vided the Australian strokes anywhere
near to form.
There are other third round matches
tomorrow which hold out great promise.
orSinstance. the one between Lawrence
B. Rice, who defeated Tilden in the
Rhode Island championship a year ago,
and Francis T. Hunter. conqueror OF
Gerald Patterson another between VIII
lis Il. Davis OF California and Pat o.
Hara Wood Of Australia, and still an
other between Manuel Alfonso OF spain
and IS. Howard Voshell. Davis Is hard
to figure brilliant one day and mediocre
tho next. His victory over Niles. how
ever. indicates that he is showingfa de-
cided return to form and he may per-
form the unexpected and beat the Au-
stralian. O'Hara Wood. however, Is
generally favored to come through
If form holds true William NJ. Johns
ton should be bracketed with either
Watson NJ. Washburn or Manuel Alfonso
in the round before the semi final !;
Vincent Richards with James o. Ander-
son William T. Tilden with either wal
lace F. Johnson or Zenzo Shimizu. and
II. Norris williams with either Francis
