The grandstands were crowded to
the choking point when Williams and
Hunter came out on the championship
court and started to warm up. E. C.
Conln was in the umpire's chair. An
unusual picture was that of Gerald
Patterson holding a side line. The
big Australian is not often called upon
to officiate in that capacity at such an
early stage of any tournament in
which he is a competitor. Hunter,
however, had made this possible when
he eliminated Patterson in yesterdays
match.
Williams began the service and,
as Hunter came through with three
singing placements in row. The
New York man was getting tremendous
pace into his forehand drives, and for
a time it seemed as though even the
brilliant Williams would be forced on
the defensive even as Patterson had
been before him. The Australian. in
describing Hunters game yesterday,
said it was the most terrific attack he
had ever faced
Williams Astonished Hunter
But Williams, after losing this first
game, settled down to work and curbed
his opponents. ferocious ground
strokes and savage overhead volieys
by the most dazzling of shots Often
times the former national champion
haf1ed Hnptor onA OF oh bo
lery by executing the most delicate of
block-volleys as he took his opponents
speeding drives on the fly and dropped
the ball gently over the net, with
Hunter, fat-footed and surprised,
standing on his base line.
Williams made it 81 before Hunter
could again break into the winning
column by taking the fifth game on
\ Williams's service The Lcngwood
man then launched into an irresistible
y attack and ran out the next three
games for the set at g. During this
period Williams was bringing off every
shot IN repertoire with startling effec-
tiveness. The rallies were fought out
at lightning speed, many Of Them from
deep court, with the players trading
backs and drives. Hunter made some
errors under the pressure, but Will
liams only rarely faltered
iheS pesdH tHe second set with
Hunter breaking through service at
love SIS Williams made four errors in
succession, two outs and two nets
off his rivals strong service The sec
end game went to deuce four times be-
fore Hunter could win the game. They
both wanted this game keenly but
Hunter prevailed when Williams made
four errors on his last four attempts to
score.
Hunter was far from resigned to de-
feat. it seemed, and this forced Will
liams to keep on the alert every mo-
ment.
The former champion, however,
played unbeatable tennis in the next
three games and made the score 3-2,
forcing Hunter into four errors in sue
cession in the fifth game, which Dick
won at love on his vicious service.
One of the most brilliant rallies of
the match was won by Williams in the
sixth game, when the score was
deuce, on Hunters service. The ball
had been travelling back and forth
from deep court for almost a full
minute and at lightning speed, when
Williams suddenly ended matters with
one of his wizard trap shots that ba rely
floated the ball over the net for a ace
ment ace. Hunter won the game IN the
end, however.
