The defeat was washburn's first

Washington. and the brand Of ten
mis- exhibited by Graves showed
plainly that he has been a very
much underrated player. who has
never been able to reach the
heights of greatness in tournament
play, but yesterday came into his
own. His forehand drives were very
effective. dropping quickly after
the ball carried the net. At least
is such balls were counted. and
washburn was unable to cope with
them to any extent. Graves con-
troll was remarkable and his back
hand drives were also effective.
