I, August 19.— Yesterday was one of surprises in the Newport Casino tennis singles. When play ceased, with the entire third round completed, it was seen that upsets had been the order.

Y., August 19—Narrowed down to a field of 16 contenders in the third round, the battle for the national women's tennis championship today brings together international rivals in play that promised to be the most spectacular of the tournament so far. Helen Wills, the title holder, and her leading rival, Elizabeth Ryan, victors yesterday in both the doubles and singles, face formidable oppo- with the youthful Gerald Stratford, are in the remaining 16 players, Harvey B. Snodgrass, No. 6 ranking man; the driving Ray Casey, Walter Westbrook and Cranston Holman fell. George Lott, jr., of Chicago, also was put out. R. Norris Willlams was on the verge of defeat. The Davis cup team star had one of his off-and-on days and against Cranston Holman, who last Saturday won the national junior title, Willilams became erratic and lost the first set. At one time in the second set the Californian had Wil- liams at set point, only to lack the vim to check Williams' service. The final score was 1—6, 6—4, 10—8, and the match, on the grandstand court, proved one of the best battles of the day. The biggest upsets were the defeats of Snodgrass, Lott and Casey. Snod- srass went down before the puzzling play of Percy L. Kynaston after winning the first, 2—6, 6—4, 6—4, and Lott bowed to J. J. Van Alen, captain_of the English collegiate team. He has a peculiar twist serv. ice that bothered Lott a great deal and he mixed his game to a great extent to win at 6-3, 6-—4. When Casey fell before Fred Mercur of Lehigh the disappointment was complete for the Westerners. ¢ at the very start opened up with heavy artillery of the Mc Loughlin type, but it was beyond his control. His driving service was ef- fective only at times and Mercur, playing a steady game, tricked the alifornian time after time to win, 6—2.

This wouldn't mean much coming from the Jim Barnes of other years, but written by the British open champlon, one of the outstanding students of golf and an instructor who is without a peer, it carries with it the weight of authority. Four years ago Barnes wrote and illustrated a book on golf, a weighty tome replete with pictures of the then open title holder. It represented the then mature thought of a national title-holder, but since that time Barnes has learned more of the game and in addition has learned that photographs a golf stroke. with line drawings by a famous Eng- lish artist which bring out the fea- tures of the golf swing which might | otherwise be obscured by shadows in a photograph. To say that Barnes’ latest book is a distinct addition to the literature of the game is trite. His book goes into all the fundamentals of swing and stance completely and thoroughly covering the ground in language per: fectil understandable by the verest tyro. It takes in all points of golf nd nds out as one of the bits of written instructions on record. 251 GOLFERS WILL PLAY IN THE WESTERN OPEN| YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, 19 P)—The in the history tournament—251—will tomorrow.

" Weaver, OAKMONT, Pa., August 19.—Fran- cis Ouimet of Boston, who, like Bobby Jones and Chick Evans, has held both major national championships in American golf, may be expected to offer a brilllant brand of play in the amateur event at the Oakmont Coun- try Club starting August 31 Always dangerous, always in the thick of the battle, one of the game's most popular figures, Ouimet has come to what for most golfers is the turning of the road. But his irons re- main keen, and this vear he has shown the fighting heart and not a little of the brilliance that carried him through many heated engage- ments. Recently he was crowned king of the Massachusetts amateurs, an hon- or gained six times in succession. In the national open championship this vear only a high elm tree on the firs hole at Worcester kept him away from at least a tie with Jones and Willie MacFarlane for first place. He hit the tree and lost three strokes on that hole. Ouimet was the first amateur to win the national open.
