Norris Wil- liams 2d. The Harvard star fell be- fore the prowess of Clarence J. Grif- fin, Pacific coast player. Griffin de- | feated Williams in three sets at 6— 3, 5—7, 6—1. It was evident to those who watch- ed the match that Willlams was | perceptibly weakened by kis hard | match on Tuesday afternoon with Lindley Murray. In the last set thc service went away and his usual agility in the back court went pretty badly at critical moments. 5 | Although the East has been elim- | inated from the singles play Church and Mathey, the Princeton pair, are still to be considered for final doubles honors. In today's play the Eastern | team defeated Tyler and Kelleher, Northwest cracks, in straight sets at | 6—2, 8—6. The Eastern pair dis- played plenty of spirited play, team combination being one of the pleas- ing factors of the play. : Dr. Melville 'H. Long, former in- ternationalist and Pacific coast cham- pion, was climinated from the tour- nament yesterday by’'John Strachan in a hot sinzles match. Long, hand- icapped by his weak ankle gave his more agile opponent a hot time, but was scarcely equal-to the task of Wwinning. Strachan’'s margin of vic- tory was 6--4, 7—S5. McLoughlin and Bundy, who had entered the doubles play, defauited yesterday to Smith and, Klein, so it begins to look as though the doubles final will narrow down to Church and Mathey vs.' Joe Johnston and Wil- liam Strachan. All semi-finals in both men’s and women’s singles and doubles will Le contested today, with finals set for Friday afternoon. From the present outlook it is hinted that Johnston and McLoughlin will take the court for the finals. The summaries: Men'’s singles, Fourth Round—John Strachan beat Dr. M. H. Long, 6—4, 7—5; Maurice McLoughiin beat W. Davis, 6—4, 6—4; C. J. Griffin beat R. Norris Williams, 6—3, 5—7, 6—1; William Johnston beat R. J. Green- berg, 6—3, 4—6, 6—1.

Sczenpenski by default; Murray | and Gardner beat Curtis and Rohlfs, ;‘ 3—6, 6—1, 6—4; Smith and Klein | won from McLoughlin and Bundy by | default i Third Round beat Rosenberg brothers Fottrell and Dawson, 6—3, 7— Church and Mathey beat Kellehor and Tyler, 6—2, 8—6; Ambrose and Bass beat Smith and Klein, 3—8, 7-— 5, 8—6; Joseph Johnston and Wil- liams G.

The subject matter proper is introduced by a brief outline of the processes through which rubber pass- es before reaching the factory, follow- ed by a short description of the usual processes of manufacture, which in- clude washing, drying, compounding, “making-up” various articles, and vul- camuzing. ~ The physical tests most commonly employed are explained very thoroughly. These include tests for tensile strength, ultimate elonga- tion and elasticity. Conditions af- fecting the results of tests are dis- cussed at some length and experi- mental data are given to show the ne- cessity of a standard procedure in testing. A general discussion of the chemis- try of rubber is followed by a brief explanation of the object of each of the analytical determinations that are commonly made. After this there are given in detail the methods in | determinations. They are not entirely ariginal, but have been compiled from the various publications on rubber anaylsis, from the information' gained through the routine testing of rub- ber goods for delivery on Government contracts, and from co-operative ‘re- zations, The tentative method of anaylsis and specification for 30 per cent. Hevea insulation compounds, adopted by the joint Rubber Insulation Com- mittee, are next given.
