Vines defeated Perry, 6—3, 5 —7, i —4, 6 —l. Except in the second set the American displayed decided superiority. Vines took & 3 —2 lead in the first when he broke through Perry’s service, and won the set. The ninth game was hard fought going to douce four times before Perry’s outing gave the American victory. Vines was threatened once in the second set at the eleventh game when he deuced Perry's service but the Englishman was never endangered, accounting for the American’s service finally to take the set. An incident in the tenth and deciding game annoyed the usually calm Perry. There was a rush of general admission spectators on to the court directly at the back of him which caused him to halt play until the attendants blocked the stampede. Vines is one match ahead on all encounters with Perry. The American won the first four amateur matches, lost the fifth and then lost the first three professional matches. Another Victory for Vines Received Sunday, Midnight. DETROIT. Jan. 17. Vines defeated Perry 14 —12, 6—2, 6 — l. The extended first really decided the match. Perry was never able to make hi* shots count after the American took the lead at the 25th game. The American had full control of ground strokes and frequently manoeuvred the Briton out of position for a fast placement. Vines was setpoint in the 24th game at 40 —15 only to see his opponent score a placement, force him into errors and pull out the game. The Californian wasted no time in winning his service in the next and then with the score 30—30 in the 26th game come the break. That was the end of the exhausing set. One of Perry’s drives net-corded out, and set-point again Vines drove a hard placement. Perry could win only 19 points in the second and 13 in the third sets. Vines and Barnes defeated Perry and Lott 9 — 7, 6-— i. ) =====
