Powerful Service.

Frank Shields, an American con- tender, reached the last eight when he defeated a young British player in J. S. Oliff in straight sets. Oliff was unable to cope with the American's powerful driving and Shields continually scored splendid passing shots which left Oliff standing. In the second set a service ace from Shields was so fast that it struck Oliff's racquet before he had realised It was over the net.

with

Van Ryn, another American In- vader, displayed magnificent serv- ing powers and powerful forehand driving to give him a comfortable victory over Boussus.. The French- man was very uncertain in his re- turns and thus conceded a great advantage to his American adver- sary. He continually over-drova the ball authough he made some beautiful back hand shots.

Sharpe Tires,

G. P. Hughes vanquished a glant killer in Nigel Sharpe (who de feated Henri Cochet in the first round), after a very unsteady start; against his imperturbable oppon- ent's machine-like drives from the base-line. Afterwards, he, how- ever, adopted the policy of stratagem with success, as Sharpe became uncertain and began to tire.

Miss Dorothy Round, a Sunday school mistress, entered the last, eight in the Ladies' Singles as the result of an easy victory over an- other British player. It will be recalled that she defeated Senorita D'Alvarez in the first round and so gained the name of a "glant- killer."

Mra. Harper qualified to meet Miss Betty Nuthall in the next round after a comfortable win over a British player. Betty de- feated Mrs. Harper in the final of the American Championship laat your to give her possession of the National Championship, a feat which had never before been ad- complished by a British player,
