Vets Hennessey was to meet the hardhitting Patterson while Chapin clashed with Tilden. ►loth of these matches were expected to be high class and hard fought.

TOURNAMENT NOTES. Hennessey s great fit e-set victory over ■ Brian I C. Norton, former South African ! Davis cup star, was a real thriller and was the climax of a great day of tennis ■ Friday. Incidentally it was the only importa.ot upset of the dope since play began A or.d ly. The lead see-sawed back and forth, j Johnnv taking the fi-st. third and last , gets. 6-3. *5-1. (5-2. while Norton cantured the second and fourth. 6-0. 0-0. Johnny I gate his supporters some agonizing mo- j me its in his losing s* ts when he seemed tc, go to pices completely, hut each time , he came ba *-k and carried a great punch li the d-ciding set. J Whil* the crowd was for Hennessey naturally, it was fair and gave the South I African flash generous applause for his fine work. Norton played his usual aggressive. fighting game that has made him a great favorite with American tennis fans. R. E. lesinger. Australian, was unable to stop . C Chapin of Massachusetts. Chapin showed far better form than at any time during the tournament and won m four sets, his game rising to championship heights at times. Schlesinger s game is adapted to grass courts far better than to elay. He wil prove a factor In tournaments on grass later in the season.

Gerald Patterson, captain of the Australian team, was a? u ilcl as an Australian bushman in finishing his uncompleted match with Louis Kuhler Jr. of Cincinnati. Ohio. But when he needed points his crashing: drives would bring: them home The crowd got a big laugh once when he tore a hole in a brand new net with one of his terrific smashes. Sagalowsky and Burdick, considered one of the strongest of the doubles teams, broke down completely in the fifth set of their match with the Lott-Gravem combination. Kalph and Sag looked like winners after the third set, but they laded fast at the finish. Despite the high grade tennis played Friday there was one thing Ipcking. a daring net killer who made his fight from front-court. The players seemed content lor the most part to play conservatively from the base line. Hennessey celebrated th* glorious Fourth in fine fashion. After his victory over Norton he was a big factor in the Hennessey-Chapin victory over Norton and Werner in the doubles. The victory came in straight sets. Jack McKay and Breoht Kipp. Indianapolis tennis veterans, proved surprisingly easy for Tilden and Wiener, losing in straight sets. 6-4. 6-0. 6-2.

Expert Tennis Talks By Mercer Beasley

EX baseball the hit-ami run play L- popular, in tennis the run-und-hit play is important. To *-x[ lain: When a player is drawn out of the court by a well hit shot to the side lines it is up to the opposing player to go get that ball and return if to fair territory, it is in these circumstances that many players commit the error of trying to make,a point outright for themselves by passing tiie hall instead of putting it up to the other fellow to make a faulty return. Tills is one of the most hazardous shots in tennis, and here is why: To begin with, the play demands all possible speed of foot and hand. It is usually a r.u-e from one side of the court to the other. In making this race few players give thought to the detail, of having the racket In hitting position. Usually they wait until they have arrived at their destination and then start to swing. The result is a sharp, jerky swing, and an impossible hit.
