Sidney Thayer, Jr., of the Merlon Cricket Club, went through tho Harvard interscholastlc tournament In such sur prisingly easy manner that he was hailed Immediately as the ultimate winner of tne national title, since then he has played In a number of tournaments and In each succeeding one he has shown Just a little moro than in the one pre vious. The winners of the Interscholastlc tournaments held at eight universities last spring qualified for the national In terscholastlc championship, held at For est Hills In conjunction with the U, S. N. h. T, A. singles and double events. But two Philadelphlans are among t'ne previous winners Wallace P, Johnson, In 1907, and O, Colket Cuner, In 1913, A rising generation of huge proportions before long will be making Its presence felt In local tennis affairs. Among those nr whom ereat things are expected In the- future are I. S, Cravis, of the Green point Lawn Tennis ClUb, who went through the Suburban Tennis League season without the loss of a match, and u" o. fialllard. of the Philadelphia nrirket Club. The latter waa one of the prominent contenders for the Phila delphia Junior championship. The West Bide Lawn Tennis Club had a hard time last winter convincing the U B. V U T. A. that Its courts at Forast Hills. 1 J., should be tho scans of th nt national lawn tennis cham pionship matches, ahd since then a num ber -Pf ptfly difficulties have caused great annoyance.

Never theless, lovers of lawn tennis are Just as fond of the weed as other types of sportsmen, and the likelihood is that many will bo leaving their Beats for an occasional puff or two, Thero will, however, be this difference: Those who know lawn tennis and can ioiiow tno matches point by point will not leave until a set, or at least a game. Is concluded, Hence, players will have no complaint to offer on the score of their attention being diverted by arriving and leaving spectators. "A Voice From the Grave" has long been a favorite title for short story, serial, photoplay, or novel, and for the most part its use has been confined to Hctton. Not so very long ago Craig Diddle was the recelplent of an actual message from the dead, In the form of a letter from Anthony Wilding, written shortly before the world's premier lawn tennis player lost his life in the trenches In Flanders. Diddle and Wilding were lifelong friends, and fellow competitors In many tournaments along the nivlera and at other Continental resorts. Oftttmes, too, tney were partners at douoies, Tms let ter from Wilding, beloved of alt tennis followers, is one of Olddle's most cher ished possessions. If the U. 8, N. U T.

Of this number R. Norrls Williams, 3d, the present title holder, of course, will bo the laader, but others who will give a good account o( -thenualvea in the earlier rounds include Joseph J.

Evnna was In nn undeniable mood nnd vanquished tho Pacific Coast star In three straight sots nt 61, 63. 62. The favorites for the final, Maurice McLaughlin, of San Francisco and national champion R, Norrls Williams, :d, of Philadelphia, won their matches without unusual Incident. Clarenco J Qrlflin, of San Francisco, who, with William Johnson, qualified for the challenge round for tho national doubles tltlo last week, was given a hard match yesterday by Lylc E. Mahan, of New York. Grlfiln enptured the first two sets with ease, und a straight set victory was In sight when Mnhan suddenly braced and took tho third and fourth sets at B-S. Griffin then settled down, tnklp the final set at 63. Craig Diddle. Wallaco F. Johnson, D. U Law, and G. Colket Ciner were qther Philadelphlans who came through, while Sidney Thayer, Jr., and A.

Since mooting tho Phillies In Cincinnati, the Reds have taken a sud den spurt nnd until stopped by tho Pirates yesterday had won six games In a row, Including ilvo from Pittsburgh. Theso live victories Just about put tho rirates out of the race and were n big help to the Phillies. The Reds aro confident that they will surprlBo the Phillies, but with tho team going at top speed Manager Mornn Is not worrying nny nbout the Reds, nnd It Is likely ho -will save Alexander the Great for the tlrst gnmo ngainst tho Pirates nnd use either Chalmers or Mayer on th( mound this afternoon.

Ho has won threo straight games, and tho Phillies may have their ttoubles hit ting tho former Louisville twlrlor. The three victories over the Draves not only Increased the confldcuco of the I'Mlllrjs, but they nlso served to bring the tunm out of tho bnttlng slump that retarded the progress of tho leaders so long. Tho Phllly players bcllevo that yes- 101-uay s ucieni or tne uocigcrs in n heart-brcnklng finish with tho Giants will do much to discourage the Drook lynltes, Mornn has warned (he men ngnlnst thinking the Reds are easy, as It has btcn this team which tripped tho Phillies twice Just when It seemed that they wero about to stait on a winning streak.

Only four clubs have shown nny consistent striking strength nnd there four' for only short distances. The PhllHes played grand baseball for tho list three weeks of the race. They have barely broken even since. The Cubs had one drive for three weelts that mndc them look formidable. They have never been anywhere slnco.
