Second Set Is Hard Fought
voshell flashed better tennis to-day
in his singles match with the tall
Wheeiwright, than he has shown all
week, even though he did falter dis
tinetly in the second set and allowed
his opponent to come within a single
uont of squaring tho match when
Wheewright led at SIS, and hau
an easy volleying shot to make.
with wide opening in Voshell's
court In his anxiety to score a "kill"
however, Wheelwright sent the ball
far out of the court.
Thereafter Voshell speeded up, fore
ing the net position with great strength
and smothering returns by heavy BON
bardments overhead and sharp vollev
1g sessions. He won five out of the
next six games, giving him the set at
SIS and the match
Shafer was not so hard pressed in
his encounter with Seabury, holding a
safe lead at all times. Seabury was
making too many errors to stand a
chance against the beautiful accuracy
and clever court tactics of Shafer, who
tempted his man frequently with tricky
shots, and was always ready to take
advantage of the openings in the oppo-
site court.
yoshel should beat Shafer on Sat
urday, his game being speeder, faster
and more aggressive, It will be large
y a test between the net forcing at
tack against the steadiness of back
court play. Yet if Voshell should run
INTO one of his erratic hitting streaks
then he must be prepared for a sur
lnse, Tor Shafer is too consummate
.asrt general to be bothered by mere
speed alone.
Il was partly the veteran Wright's
inability to finish off his points and
partly VQsheHis yildnass.. at critical
stages that caused their defeat by Bid
well and Wheelwright Wright has the
shots and the knowledge of what to do,
but to-day he simply couldn't "kill"
even on short lobs, and this made it
possible for the Boston pair to save
many point that looked lost Voshell's
Voieylng was streaky and he netted
many OF his returns.
Severe Smashing Decisive
Bidwell and Wheelwr1ght, on the con-
ifary, were quite successful in finish
~heh they got the opportunities, and
covered court we'll.
The Jones family" forced Baggs
ana Shafer to pay the freight" in the
o'hef doubles match, their team work

IN which they forced tnelr openngs

through the holes. They centered their
combined attack on Baggs, who was far
from himself and made an unusual
