In the third Clothier made a gallant stand, which brought out the most exciting tennis of the entire competition and scored the set. The fourth revealed the champion in an experimental mood. He lost this set by faulty back-court maneuvering, and altogether it was slovenly tennis, far removed from championship for mon the part of either of the participants. Needing the fifth set to retain his title, Larned won It out of hand, although Clothier on the whole played well, and so relieved It of being tho walkover that the ofurth set had been.
