Quist defeated Herndon (New York), 6—3, 3— 6,' 6— 4, 6—3; McGi;ath defeated Wilmer Hines (U.S.A.), 6—3, 5—7, 6—4, 6—4. , The first major upset came when Eikichi Itoh, the youngest of three Japanese entries, who was seeded No. 7 in the foreign list, was eiiminated by David O'Loughlin (an unranked player from Pittsburg), 6 — 3, 6 — 1, 6—3. Crawford's Ragged Play In the Crawf ord-Sbligsoii game, the latter was plainly on the defensive, but Crawford displayed liis usual slowness in getting to the top of his f'orm, making a great fiumber of unnecessary errors. For instance, he double-faulted four times in the first five games, and netted or outed the easiest shots. There was only one fine rally in the entire sets, iii the eighth game, though there were several long drawn-out deuce games. Seligson begaii the service, but by breaking the American's service in the third game Crawford gained the advantage necessary to win the set. The second set was almost a repetition of the first, save that the break in Seligson's service came in the .seventh game to give the Australian a 4 — 3 lead, which he quickly ran up to take the set on a further break of the American's service after a long final game of repeated deuces. The Australian's stroking, however, was much more accurate in this set, and the contest was less drawn out. Crawford made the same number of earned points in each set, but 13 fewer errors in the second. Strikes Old Form Crawford was quite on the top of his form in the third set and Seligson, who was the inter-collegiate national champion in 1928, was a badly beaten man. He raced hard after every shot in the first two sets and was ever on the defensive. He was too tired now even to put his racquet on most of the Australian's shots. He recovered a little to win the sixth game, but the end came soon after. Turnbull's Win Turnbull won an impressive fourset victory agaiifst Hall, repeating Saturday's perf ormance of winning in straight sets after losing the first set. Hall, a former national clay courts champion, is noted for his fast service, which Turnbull handled coolly throughout, although up until the 12th game of the second set, the match was exceedingly close. Then Turnbull on neat pla'cements and well directed cfiops, broke through his opponent's service to win the set. Thereafter he was able to break through Hall's difficult service almost at will, clinching the 10th game in the fourth set with hard placements to win the match. As on Saturday, Turnbull s game steadied as he progressed, and at the last he appeared fresh while his ppponent gradually weakened.
