SECOND DAY AT WIMBLEDON.
It was not Wimbledon weather on the second day of the com. petitions, but grey and cold, with occasional splashes of sunshine. The courts, too, are on the slow side though the surface is other wise perfect. Good play was seen. The American W. Davis, is of the modern service-and-volley school. His service is good and, as 50 often now-a-days, is after the style of Patterson. His cross- volleys are deep and strong, generally winners.
He led P. M. Davson one set to love and five games to four. Davson equalised at five all, and, } driving well. led 6-5, winning 7-5, one
set all. Davson took the fourth by superior vollaying. The fifth brought out some driving as well as cut strokes, and Davis's service was often unplayable. He was rank- ed eighth in the American list of ten in 1916.

The match Patterson v. Roper Barrett evoked great interest. The Australian had won easily at Surbiton Barrett went off with cleverly-placed strokes in his best manner, and took four games. Then Patterson began to use his brains, and won three games by service and volley. There was a struggle for the rest of the set. Patterson, playing carefully, went to 54. The next was a great game.
