EAST is ELIMINATED
IN NEWPORT TENNIS

NEWPORT, r. l.. August 21.-The
East was vanquished in the fifth
round of the Newport Casino invita-
ton singles, and today in the semi
finals William NJ. Johnston of Cali
fornia, former national champion,
will oppose Manuel Alfonso of Spain
and Clarence h. Griffin will meet the
dashing Brian !. G.. Norton, erstwhile
South African and now of st. Louis.
Not until late yesterday was there
an upset, and that came when the sun
was sinking behind the big grand
stand and shadows were lengthening
at the clubhouse court, where Robert
and Howard kinsey fought a losing
fight against S. Howard Noshell and
\. II. Chaplin, jr.. in the doubles. The
California pair fell before the spirit
ed attack of the Fasteners in the
third round-6-3. SO, 81. Robert
kinsey was the target for the East
erners' attack, and although. Howa I'd
played sensationally. he could not stop
the offensive alone.
This rift in the California tennis
ranks leaves Johnston and Griffin far
ahead of other pairs in class and takes
some Of the interest out of the dou-
bles.

Miss Wills Starts Mildly.
Miss Wills played too soft game
to stand up against the smashing
l'strokes of Miss Fry in the first set.
! The English girl killed everything.
keeping her shots close TO the base
line and giving her opponent few
opportunities to get set for her
strokes. She broke through in the
third game, after winning the sec
ond at love on three tremendous
drives. and held her own service
! until she had won six games.
In the second set, Miss Fry was still
hitting the ball hard but her control
was poor. Miss Wills. speeding up
her strokes. hammered her backcourt
and the English girl did not have
strength enough left to handle her
shots safely. The champion took the
| first game at love, broke through in
| the second. a., on four outs by Miss
| Fry and won the third easily.
Miss Fry made bitter fight for the
| fourth. running to all corners of the
court, but she was not steady enough
and weakened at the end of the long
rallies. Miss Wills won the fifth at
love and broke through in the sixth.
| In the third set the champion
played easily. Stroking with excep-
! tional control, she won her points by
her clever placing. Miss Fry did all
of the work, rushing from one corner
| of the court to the other, while Miss
| Wills directed the ball to the corners.
! She tired badly and erred continually,
| hitting out of court by wide margins.
| Miss Wills broke through in the
| fourth after a long deuce game, and
