four-Soutar by a dazzling exhibit
quickly overhauled his rival and the
four games in a row.
Soutar chucked his victory IN the
eleventh game, to 4, ss they were
plying for the best seven out OF thir-
teen games. The first half Of the tussle
in ouakertown had required two and
a half hours for completion. Yester-
DAYS portion was ended In forty-three
minutes. The complete score for the
eleven games was i5--ls, 6-l5, lbs,
l5-i2, l4--i7, 15-ii, lib, l5-s,
tB--O, 15-e. 15-b.
The champion was master OF the
situation yesterday from start to I'M
ish. He made some phenomenal
~gets," anticipated wonderfully and
outplaeed and outsteadied Williams.
For the greater part OF one game the
challenger threatened seriously, pus
his chances faded as Soutar gathered
speed and stroked with great power
and accuracy.
The leading factor was service-by
far the leading factor. Nineteen OF
Soutar's sixty points were earned on
singing service shots that either com
pleteiy escaped Willisms's racket OF
that he was barely able 70 strike

faded In the rear corner and Williams
was unable to dig them up until toward
the end, when the EngliShman, IN des-
perati0n, began moving forWafo !"

Gains in Confidence
As the match progressed Soutar
gained in effectiveness and toward the
end he was employing a battling change
OF pace and a low shot just over the
telitale that kept Williams plunging IN
vain. Despite the one-sided score
however. there were periods OF bril-
liant rallies that sparkled with breath
less reeoveries. The challenger hashed
now and then with some strategic
shots for placement. but on the whole
he was unable 10 match the control
versatility, speed and service OF tne
champion. Those who had faiied 70
see the first half Of the match at Phlla-
delphia were left wondering how VII
linns ever managed 10 take four OF the
drst seven games. II was q complete
reversal.
Soutar, witr the aid Of service, ran
into an early lead Of 2 TO IN yesterr-
days opening game, and, althougn VII
