...quarterfinals, four fair-haired young players played four black-haired ones. Three of the fair-haireds?Henry Ellsworth Vines Jr., John Hope Doeg and George Martin Lott Jr.?beat Bell, Francis Xavier Shields and John Van Ryn, respectively. The only dark-haired player in the semi-finals was also the only Englishman in the tournament, Frederick J. Perry, onetime ping-pong champion and No. 2 singles player on the British Davis Cup team.

When the courts were finally dry enough for the completion of one of the most surprising rounds on record in a national tournament, Francis Xavier Shields of New York and Sidney B. Wood Jr. beat Doeg & Lott, 14-16, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5. The other team in the semi-finals was Gregory Mangin of Newark and Berkeley Bell of Dallas...
