The tables were turned completely in
| the second set as Richards began TO find
himself. to volley and smash with the
exceptional finality he is capable Of.
Tilden. too, rose more brilliant every
game and at times dominated with his
spectacular placements, sharp angled In
untakable style. There were two breaks
through service In the second set, on
each occasion through Patterson. The
Australians were slumping both in speed
and In control and the set ended In the
seventh game at 81, the challengers
having been outscored 81 points to H.
The first six games OF the third set
went on service and then Tilden ana

breezed through three games in a row
for the set at 6-3. Early In the Anal
set Tilden showed a tendency TO sharp
angle bit too daringly and his drive
out of court had considerable to do with
giving the Australians lead which they
maintained to the seventh game. Again,
however, the Americans brought UP their
reserves and again they forced the Anti
pooeans to yield three straight games
for the set and match
1t is doubtful whether the national
doubles final held any more interest
for the crowd than the final OF the
it, That was indicated plainly in the
tremendous applause that greeted rally
of any length at all between Mrs. NAL
lory and Miss Wills. Not since 1919
when Miss Marion Zinderstein, now Mrs.
Jessup. defeated her in the semi-final Of
the national championship, has the
champion been pressed so hard to win
as she was yesterday by the Pacific
Coast school girl. As matter Of fact
after a brilliant extra set match Miss
Wills held a lead of 5-4 and 1t was only
by a supreme effort that Mrs. Mallory
was able to turn back defeat.
There was no questioning the greater
versatility and superior subtlety of Miss
Wills's tennis from first to last Time
after time her crafty change OF pace and
change Of length. her ability to mix
drive with lob and lob with volley. to
drive deep and severely one moment and
then just drop the ball over the net the
rext. had Mrs. Mallory outguessed and
actually on the defensive and had the
gallery almost yelling its appreciation.
In the long run 1t was only Mrs. NAL
lory's exceptional endurance, her mar
velous control In the pinches and her
powerful hitting that enabled her to
pull out the victory at as, 6-3, 7-5.
An astonishingly overwhelming VIC

In the boys national championship
firal. which preceoed on an outside
court David O'Loughlin of Pittsburgh
triumphed over Malcolm #. Hnl of Bos-
ton at Us. 6-3. chiefly through his
superior control at critical stages and
his slightly severe drive. Hill failed
at one stage when he was twice within
point Of the first set. He showed
great promise. his deep volleys and half
yolleys being brought off brilliantly, but
he lacked control both OF service and
drive and helped the Pittsburgh boys
advance with untimely errors. O'Lough-
