That two youths still competing in
the junior class should conquer two
such crafty, able veterans as voshell
and Hardy. was never regarded as
within the range of possibility, and
the victory Of the youngsters was dis
cussed widely.
The fate of the draw has placed
Jones and lngraham against William
T. Tiiden Cd and Vincent Richards, the
playing through doubles champions in
The next round, to be played to-inor-
rvw afternoon, and here defeat ap-
pesrs to be their inevitable lot, al
though they may give sthe titleholders
plenty of trouble to come through.
There came close to being another
upset in the second round, when Rob-
art and Howard Kinsey, Pacific Coast
champions and winners at Newport
last Saturday, were carried to fve
hard sets by Willis Davis and Harry
6. Johnson, q scratch team. The
brothers finally pulled out of deep
hole to win at 3--s, 4-6, 12-1o, 6--2,
e-2. Both Davis and Johnson faltered
Kinseys gradually tuned their game up
to It's full playing strength.
Tilden and Richards gained their
bracket in the fourth round by defeat
ing Holcombe Ward and Dwight F. Davis,
donor of the historic cup that bears
his name, by score of Go, 6-3, 60.
Ward and Davis were the holders of
the national doubles championship
some fifteen years ago, and this added
touch of sentiment TO their battle
with the present holders Of the title
and attracted the attention Of a large
part of the gallery.
Veterans in Game Fight
The old champions gave remark
able exhibition under the circum-
stances, and. although they had the
strokes and knew where to place their
returns, burning speed and pace on
the part of Tilden and Richards were
entirely too much for the veterans,
who were considerably "blown" after
the second set and had trouble in get
ting up to the ball on many occasions.
Gerald L. Patterson and Patrick
0'Hara Wood, the Australian Davis
Cup pair, who will meet the United
States defending team at Forest Hills
on September in the challenge round,
went through two matches to-day with
the loss of only four games, against
opposition that was weak, it is true
Nevertheless, the challengers looked
rather impressive. Patterson and
Wood will meet young John Hennesgy
and Walter Westbrook, Western cham
pions, Tomorrow afternoon and here
they should encounter just the sort of
competition they need to put them in
real fighting trim ror the international
mStches.
William M. Johnston and Wallace r.
johnson. another scratch team playing
sogether for the first time, breezed
through two matches in great form,
first eliminating Robert Tunis and
Parker Ellis at 6--1, So, 6--3, and
then defeating a young pair who hold
the Southwestern doubles title, Lewis
N White ard Louis Thalheimer, by
score of 6-1. 6-1, Go.
The only other pair to reach the
fourth round brackets was the team of
Nathaniel w. Niles and Jean Borotra,
the French Davis Cup player. They ie-
feated H. Prescott and A. N. Reggie,
ef Boston, by score Of 6-3, GO,
s--2 in the third round.
Spanish Team Eliminated
The feature of the match played late
IN the afternoon on the championship
court saw Richard Norris Williams I'd
and Watson NJ. Washburn, of last years
Davis Cup team, triumphant over the
Spanish Davis Cup pair, Manuel Alonzo
and Count Degomar, by score of Cd,
e-1, 6--2 in the second round.
Ten teams were still in the running
when the last of the matches had been
completed, and Edwin Sheafe, .presi-
dent Of the Longwood club and chair
man OF the committee, had also pushed
ths other eight events so efficiently
Ihat the fields in each advances toward
the final round according to schedule.
Play began in the morning in the
Women's Longwood invitation singles,
Eith practically the same entry that
competed last week in the national
Championships at Forest Hills, headed

mallory ON Saturday; Mrs May Sutton
sunny, IF California; Miss Florence
sallin, of New York, and Miss Edith
'nisourney and Mrs. Frank H. Godfrey,
'of Longwood. All the favorites played
up to expectations, winning decisive
/ scores, IS a rule
Mrs. Godfrey came in for a large
. Share OF attention when she took the
measure of Miss Rosa SARDINIA, cham
pion Of Cuba, by the overwhelming
score of Go, 60, in the first round. |
MISS SARDINIA was one Of the eight
seeded" players. but she failed to |
come up to expectations to-day, very
evidently not being accustomed TO turf
courts. and Mrs. Godfrey's fiery at
sack proved entirely too much for the |
lair senorita.
Mrs Mallory Just Breezes
Mrs. Mallory fairly romped through
her opening enga cement with Miss
agnes Sherwood, OF New York, win
ping by q score of Go, 6-1, as she |
oombarded the opposite court with |
sIlng1ng drives. Mrs Godfrey ad-
ssssnced to the third round by defeating
