to yield a set although the Canadian
representatives, DR.. Jack Wright OF
Vancouver and Gilbert Nunns of To-
ronto, offered spirited opposition.

whelming odds, especially today. The
Vines Wright duel was magnificent
exhibition Of high grade tennis all the
way with the lanky Californian forced
to extend himself in order to save the
first and third sets. Wright played some
of the best tennis of his career and
much the best he has shown here in
the last few years as he held the mighty
Vines close to even. Eight games in the
hard-fought third set went to deuce.
Allison did not appear to be trying
particularly in his match with Nunns
His game lacked its usual fire and he
came to the net only when points were
badly needed. Nunns played much bet
ter than he had on Thursday but he
was no real match for Allison at any
time.
