I. The Court is 78 feet long and 27 feet wide. It is
divided across the middle by a net, the ends of which are
attached to two posts, A and B, standing 3 feet outside
of the court on either side. The height of the net is 3 feet
6 incnes at the posts, and 3 feet in the middle. At each end

of the court, parallel with the net, and 39 feet from it, are
drawn the base lines D E and F G| the ends of which are
connected by the side lines D F and E C. Halfway
between the side lines, and parallel with them, is drawn the
half court line I H, dividing the space on each side of the
net into two equal parts, the right and left courts. On each
side of the net, at a distance of 21 feet from it, and parallel
with it, are drawn the service lines K L and M U,

nor more than 29-16 inches in diameter; and shall weigh
not less than I 15-16 ounces, nor more than 2 ounces.

THE GAME.

3. The choice of sides, and the right to serve in the first
game, shall be decided by toss; provided that, if the winner
of the toss choose the right to serve, the other player shall
have choice of sides, and vice versa, or the winner of the toss
may insist upon a choice by his opponent. If one player
choose the court, the other may elect not to serve.

4. The players shall stand on opposite sides of the net;
the player who first delivers the ball shall be called the
server, and the other the slriker-out.

5. At the end of the first game the striker-out shall
become server, and the server shall become striker-out; and
so on alternately in all the subsequent games of the set and
following sets.

6. The server shall serve with both feet behind, i. e., fur-
ther from the net than the base line and within the limits of
the imaginary continuation of the centre service and the
side lines. It is not a fault if one only of the server's feet do
not touch the ground at the moment at which the service is
delivered. He shall place both feet upon the ground im-
mediately before serving and shall not take a running nor a
walking start. He shall deliver the service from the right
and left courts alternately, beginning from the right, in each
of his service games even though odds be given or owed.

7. The ball served must drop between the service line,
half-court line, and side line of the court, diagonally opposite
to that from which it was served.

LAWS OF LAWN TENNIS. 9

. 8. , It is a^Fi^ilt if the b^ll served drop, in the net, or be-
yond the service line, or out of court, or in the wrong court;,
or if the server do not stand as directed by law 6;; If the
server, in attempting to serve, miss the ball altogether, it does
«<7/ count a faulty but if the ball be touched, no matter how
slightly, by the racket, a service is thereby delivered, and the
laws governing the service at once apply.

9. A fault cannot be taken. • ,;

IP. ,.. After a fault the server • shall .s^e again from the
same court from which he served that fault, unless it ^<^s<^i
fault because he,seryed from the wrong co^rt. .-5.

11. A f^vlt cannot be .^laim^d after the. next service isL-
delivered. ,. . , >

1 2. T^e server shall not serve till the striker-out is ready.
If the latter attempt to return the service, he shall be deemed-
ready.

13. A service or fault delivered when the striker-out is.
not ready counts for nothing.

14. The service shall not be volleyed, that is, taken, be^.
fore it has touched the ground.

but a service, otherwise good, which touches the net shall
count for nothing,

17. The server wins a stroke if the striker-out volley the
service, or if he fail to return the service or the ball in play;
or if he return the service or the ball in play so that it drops
outside of his opponent's court; or if he otherwise lose a
stroke, as provided by law 20.

vided by law 20.

accident, the point shall be counted, The benches and
chairs placed around the court shall be considered permanent
fixtures. If, however, a ball in play strike a permanent fix-
ture of the court (other than the net or posts) before it
touches the ground, the point is lost; if after it has touched
the ground, the point shall be counted.

22. On either player winning his "first stroke, the score is

ond stroke, the score is called 30 for that player; on either

stroke won by either player is scored advantage for that
player. If the same player win the next stroke, he wins the
game; if he lose the next stroke the score returns to deuce,

rest, which shall not exceed seven minutes; and provided,
further, that in case of an unavoidable accident, not within

player, then travel along the horizontal column until the
vertical column is reached which bears at the top the number
of the class of the inferior player. The odds specified at the
intersection of the two columns are the odds required. .

MANAGEMENT OF TOURNAMENTS. 4<{

When the two players in different classes above scratch
meet, the inferior player shall start from scratch, and the
odds owed by the superior player are as shown by the
annexed table, No. 2.

This table is to be used in the same way as the former, the
class of the superior player being looked for in the horizontal
line of figures at the top, and the class of the inferior player
in the diagonal line of figures.

Example. — If class 12 (owe 30) meet class 7 (owe 15 and
1-6 of 15), the former must owe the latter the odds of 4-6
of 15.

21. — In Championship matches and handicaps by classes,
as above, advantage sets shall be played throughout.

22. — ^The Q)mmittee may, whether appealed to by any
Competitor or not, postpone the meeting or any match or part
of a match if, in their opinion, the state of the weather, or
of the light, or the condition of the ground, or other circum-
stances, render it advisable to do so. In cases of postpone-
ment, Law 25 must be strictly observed.

Cases and Decisions.

By James Dwight,

^T'HE following Cases and Decisions are intended to meet
^■^ questions often asked at Tournaments, and also to
cover points apparently not provided for in the Laws.

I. A player standing outside the court volleys the ball or
catches it in his hand, and claims the stroke because the ball
was certainly going out of court.

Decision, — He loses the stroke. It makes no difference
where he was standing. The return is presumed good until
it strikes the ground outside of the court.

II. A player is struck by the ball served before it has
touched the ground, he being outside of the service court.
How does it count?

Decision, — The player struck loses the stroke. The
service is presumably good until it strikes in the wrong courts
A player cannot take the decision upon himself by stopping
the ball. If it is going to be a fault, he has only to get out
of the way.

III. The service is delivered before the striker-out if
ready. He tnes to return it and fails. Is he entitled to
have it played over again?

Decision, — No. If he attempts to return the service he
is deemed ready.

IV. The striker-out calls "Not ready," for a second
■ervice. The ball strikes beyond the service line, and the

CASBS AND DECISIONS. 45

striker-ottC claims that the fact that he was not ready makes
no difference, since a fault cannot be returned, and, there-
fore, that two faults have been served.

Decision, — The second service goes for nothing. A
player cannot call " Not ready," and then have the service
count, or not, as suits his interests.

V. A ball having been played over the net bounds back
into the court from which it came. The player reaches over
the net and plays it before it falls. Has he a right to do so?

Decision. — Yes, provided he does not touch the net. He
has^ a right to play the ball at any time from the moment it
crosses the net into his court until it touches the ground a
second time.

VI. A ball is played into the net; the player on the
other side, thinking that the ball is coming over, strikes at it
and hits the net. Who loses the stroke ?

Decision, — It is simply a question of fact for the umpire
to decide. If the player touched the net while the ball was
still in play he loses the stroke.

VII Can a player follow a ball over the net with his
racket, provided that he hits the ball on his own side of the
net?

Decision, — Yes, the only restrictions are that he shall not
vc!ley the ball until it has crossed the net, and that he shall
not touch the net or any of its supports.

VIII. A player's racket slips out of his hand and flies
into the net. Does he lose the stroke for hitting the net?

Decision, — Yes, if the ball be still in play. It does not
matter if the racket be in a player's hand or not.

IX. A player's racket leaves his hand, but meets the ball
and returns it over the net. Is it a good return?

Decision. — Yes. There is no law requiring a racket to

46 CASES AND DECISIONS.

be in a player's hand when the ball is returned. It would
unquestionably be a good return if the racket were held
against the ground by a player's feet, and the bul) bounded
back off of it.

X. A single match is played with a double net and Inside
posts. A player touches the net beyond the inside posts,
and claims that he does not lose the stroke because there
should be no net more than three feet outside of the court.

Decision. — He loses the stroke. The net where he
touches it is part of the supports of the net. He might, per-
haps, have objected to the arrangement of the net before the
match.

XI. A player returns the ball, and, finding that he can*
not stop himself before reaching the net, jumps over it. Is
it a good return ?

Decision, — Law 4 requires that ** the players shall stand
on opposite sides of the net," and therefore the player invad-
ing his opponet's court loses the stroke.

XII. A ball passes outside the post of the net and strike^
in court. Is it a good return.

Decision. — Yes.

XIII. A ball going out of court hits the top of the port
of the net and bounds into the opposite court

Decision. — It is a good return.

XIV. The service or the ball in play strikes a ball lying
in the court. Can it be returned?

Decision. — Yes, if it be clear to the umpire that the right
ball is returned.

XV. The server claims that the striker-out muat stand in
the court. Is this necessary?

Decision. — No. The striker-out can stand wherever ho
pleaseR on his own side of the net

CABES ANI> DBCI610M8. 47

XVI. A bystander gets in the way of a player who fails to
return the ball. May he then claim a let?

Decision, — Yes, if, in the umpire's opinion, he was pre*
vented by an accident beyond his control. For instance, if
the ropes or the seats are allowed to be so near to the court
that a player is interfered with by them, the stroke should
not be played again, because the ropes and seats form part
of the arrangements- of the ground. If, however, a spectator
passes in front of those seats, or places a chair nearer than
the original line, and so interferes with a player, the stroke
should be played again.

XVII. A player is interfered with as above, and the um-
pire directs the stroke to be played again. The server had
previously served a fault He claims the right to two
services.

Decision, — The fault stands. A let does not annul a
previous fault

XVIII. A return hits the umpire, or his chair or staikd*
the player claims that the ball was going into court

Decision, — Stroke is lost

XIX. A player receiving fifteen, serves from the left
court. His opponent claims a fault.

Decision, — It is a fault. The service starts from the
right court under all circumstances.

XX. At fifteen-all the server by mistake serves from the
left court, he wins the stroke and serves again (a fault),
the mistake is then discovered. Is he entitled to the pre-
vious stroke? From which court should he serve next?

Decision, — The previous stroke stands. A fault cannot
be claimed after the next service, good or not, is delivered.
The next service should be from the left court, the' store
being thirty-fifteen, and the server has served on<& fault.

^ CASES AND DXCiSlONS.

XXI. A player serves from the wrong court, he loses the
stroke, and then claims that it was a fault

Decision, — If the stroke was played in his first service it
is simply a fault, but if he serves twice into the wrong court
he has served two faults, and lost the stroke.

XXII. The score is five games all, and the imipire di-
rects the players to play an advantage set. The advantage
game has been won, when it is discovered that no advantage
sets are to be played. What is to be done?

Decision. — The set is won at the eleventh game. It is
no part of the umpire's duty to decide on the conditions of
the matches.

XXIII. A player serves. He hears the umpire call, but
cannot hear what he says. He knows that the only two
things that the umpire should call are " fault" and " let,"
and that in neither case can the ball be in play. He, there-
fore, does not return it, only to find that the umpire has
called " play." Has he any redress?

Decision, — No.

XXIV. The umpire calls «« fault," and then instantly
changes and says *' play." The striker-out fails to return the
ball, and he claims he was prevented by the umpire, and
also that the umpire cannot change his decision.

Decision, ^-The umpire should call a let and the service
be taken again.

XXV. A ball drops near a line, the player appeals, and
the umpire calls "play." The player misunderstands the
call and lets the ball fall. He then claims to have the stroke
played again.

Decision, — The stroke stands.

XXVI.— The ball strikes the ground close to a line the
scorer scores the stroke against the striker. On appeal to the

CA8BS A3StD DKGISIONS. 49

linesman, the latter decided that the ball was not out
Which decision stands?

Decision. — The scorer has no right to consider a ball out
until the linesman has called to that effect, therefore, the
decision of the latter must be accepted. The decision of a
linesman affecting his own line is final.

XXVII. A return strikes the cord running along the bot-
tom of the net and bounds over. Is it a good return?

Decision. — Yes.

XXVIII. During play a ball is thrown into court, and
the ball in play strikes it or a player steps on it. May a let
be claimed?

Decision. — Yes.

XXIX. The ser\'er's first service strikes his partner.
Does he lose the stroke or is it a fault ?

Decision. — A fault.

XXX. A player serves a fault and it is then discovered
that it is his partner's service. Does the fault stand ?

Decision. — Yes.

XXXI. In a four-handed competition one player does
not appear in time to play, and his partner claims to be
allowed to play single-handed against the opposing psir
May he do so?

Decision. — No,

THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

TELE 26th annual Championship of the United States was held at
the Casino, at Newport, on Aug. 21st and following days. There
were 117 entries, the largest number that there has ever been.

The year before there were 105, which was about 20 more than had
entered before. This made 53 matches in the first round. As the
Western Double Champions were unable to be present, the usual match
for the first day of the tournament, between the winners at Chicago
and Longwood did not take i^ace, and there was no match of any great
interest. TTie most important was between Little and Anderson,
which Little won, 6-3, 6-4, 8-6. A less important but very pretty match
was between H. Simmons, the Interscholastic Champion of Pennsylvania
and A. S. Dabney of Harvard. The former won, 6-1, 5-7, 4-is, 6-3.
6-1. Sweetzer beat Hooker in five sets and Ames easily beat Read.
Hobart defaulted. I. C. Wright beat Niles, 7-5, 6-1, 6-2. Richard
Stevens was unable to appear.

The second round produced one very important match, namely Behr
and Lamed. It was played in front of the Tennis Court as the Cham-
pionship Doubles were going on in the grandstand coiurt.

The sets were faily close but it was in Sehr's favor almost all the time.

In the first set Behr got, 3-1, 4-2, 5-3, and won, 6-4. In the second
Lamed got 4-3 and Bdir won three games, the last one at deuce. In
the third set Behr was 5-3, when Lamed made it games all, but he lo«t
the next two and the match. Lamed did not play as well as usual.

Of the other matches, H. Simmons found Jones too strong for him.
PeU beat Lovering in five sets. Cooke beat Burden. It was me second
five-set match tiiat he had played. I. C. Wricht beat W. F. Johnson
osing the first set. Hackett lost a set to HowXand.

In the fourth round, Carpenter and Gross played a long match, which
the latter won 7-5, 6-3, 6-8, 1-6, 9-7. Most of the other matches were
ea^, though LeRoy lost a set to Bull.

In the fourth round Leonard beat Putnam, Jones beat Gross easilv.
Alexander beat Ames and Clothier, Hawk bringing them together. Li
the lower half, Behr beat Page, I. C. Wright beat LeRoy in a hard match

C'hampion of the United States.

The CaA3fFioNSHiF 6S

in which he lost the first and second sets» 4-6, 4-6, 6-S» 6-3, 6-S. Little
beat Dana and Hackett beat StiUman.

The tournament was now reduced to four pairs. Jones beat Leonard
easily. Behr beat Wright, though he lost the first set. Little beat
Hackett. The creat match of the round and in fact of the tournament
was between Alexander and Little. Alexander got to 5-2^ in the first
set and then stopped absolutely, while Clothier made the score, 6-di<in
his own favor. Alexander brought it back once to ^ames-all, but Clo-
thier won, 8-6. He also took the second set easily losmg but two games,
he second and seventh.

In the third set Alexander lost the first game and then won three in
succession. After that they alternated till he ran out, 6-4. Alexander
carried on his winning streak through the fourth set. He lost the fourth
game only and in onfy one game was deuce called.

He kept on in the fifth set till he was 5-2 and 40-0. Any stroke of
three for the match; and again one chance at vantage. In the last
four games he won but throe strokes. Without detracting from the
credit due to Clothier, it certainly seemed as if it was Alexander who
lost the match.

In the semi-final Clothier had no trouble in beating Jones in three
sets all 6-8 Behr, on the other hand had a very hard match with Little.
In the first set with the score 2 all, Little won four games and the set.
Only one was deuce. Behr did much the same thing in the second
set as^he won four out of the last five games, of which but one was deuce.

The third set was a long one. Little started well and was three
love 4-1, and 5-S. Behr won the next two games; five all; then six all,
when Little cot the two games, 8-6.

The fourth set was longer still. Little lost the first gamef after deuce
bad been called four times, or apparently he might have won a love set
for he took five games in succession. From this point Behr played
very strongly and finally brought the score to 5 all. Little got the vant-
age game twice but never got any farther and lost the set, J>-?.,\jIn the
last set little again took tne lead with three games love^ and ne also
won the sixth, 4-2, but that was his last. It was a very long and rather
tedious match. Neither played consistently well* all through, though
Behr did very well in the fourth set, when the match was apparently
lost*

Many thought that Behr would beat Clothier in the final,' andf all
that it would be a good match. Instead, the match was quiie one-
sided Behr probably was in no better condition from bis match with

64 The Championship

Little the day before. Clothier was apparently as fit as he oould be.
He played a different game from any that he liad yet shown. He was
very deliberate: almost provokingly so. But if he never hurried he
never wasted time. It was all part of one rqofular plan. Behr won the
second game of the first set, but he did not get another till|it was 5-1
and he Tost, 6-2.

The second set was more even. After Clothier had won two games
Behr took three in succession, but he lost the next three and the set, 6-4.
In the last set he got only the fifth and sixth games.

Wright showed so ^ood a game in the Doubles that he was thought
to be able to defend his Championship. He had plaved distinctly better
in the matches before the men sailed for England than the others, and
he seemed now to be in condition to play his one match. On the other
hand, no one had looked forward to his meeting so strong a game as
Clothier now showed.

As a matter of fact, Wright proved not to be in good condition at all.
and Clothier played as well or better than he did with Behr.

The first set was divided into three sections of three games each.
Clothier won the first three, and then Wright made it three all, but he
could do no more. The second set was entirely one-sided. Wright
did not win a game and reached deuce in the third game only.

Wright made his best fight in the third and last set, but he oould not
keep even. Clothier won the first game and the second. Wright made
it 2 all. Then, after each had won a game. Clothier won two in succes-
sion, and though Wright won the ninth, the set went to Clothier, 6-4.

The Consolation Singles was won by N. W. Niles.

BEAI£ C. WRIGHT and HOLCOMBE WARD

Champions in Doubles of the United States.

THE DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP.

UNFORTUNATELY the western champions could not come to
Newport so that the only Double match lay between Alexander
and Hackett and the Champions of the year before Ward and Wright.

It was an interesting match but Ward and Wright had the advantage
all the way through. They were surer and madfe fewer mistakes thaii
their opponents. Wright is credited with fSS places and 38 mistakes.
Ward with only 10 pku:es but also only 27 mistakes. Hackett had the
most placed balls,lbut he put 47 balls out of court or into the net.

Alexander had 15 to his credit and 40 against him. Many of Wright's
earned points were volleys of overhead bSls, of which he was very sure.
The service, of course, counted as a very large factor. Wara and
Wright had it first and at two to one they won Uieir opponents so that
th^ came to 4-1, instead of 8-2. This advantage they kept and won,
6-8. The second set was more irregular. Eaoi side lost its service
and then each won one, then Wud and Wright lost another and with
it practically the set, 6-8. In the third set they won the second game
against the service and it then alternated till they went out, 6-8. The
fourth and last set went with the service up to three all, then Ward and
Wright won against the service, 4-8 also their own and finally their
opponent's again, 6-8. The last was a love game.

As said before, though the match was closely fought, the better pair
won.

The weather was good and there was a very large attendance. ,

INTERNATIONAL CUP MATCHES OF 1906.
For the Davis Trophy.

A S in the previous year the U. S. N. L. T. A. decided to send a team
^^ of four abroad to compete for the Davis Trophy. The players were
carefully selected and after four weeks of hard practice at Philadelphia,
Knollwood C. C. and Crescent A. C. the team sailed. Ward and Wright
were the surviving members of the 1905 team while Little and Collins
took Lamed and Clothier's places. During the preliminary play,
Wright was playing remarkable tennis, at least half fifteen above his
form of 1905 but just before sailing he met with a serious accident that
resulted in blood poisoning which caused the loss of his finger and
prevented his playing. Ward was playing about the sante as the year
before when he made such an excellent showing and Little had improved
greatly. Collins, however, could not seem to "get back" being ex
tremely erratic.

It was expected that America would play France at Liverpool but
owing to the inability of the Frenchmen to put forth a first-class team
they defaulted and Belgium and Austria did not enter for the same
reason.

Australasia was not represented by as strong a team as in 1905,
being without their best players Brookes and Dunlop. Wilding the
first man on the team this year had been playing in the south of F?ance
all winter, consequently his game had improved greatly. Poidivin,
Wilding's partner, did not take tennis seriously as he was playing on one
of the leading Cricket elevens. Li the first match Little beat Poidivin
rather easily ov 3 sets to love. It was the general opinion that Ward
would beat Wilding but predictions were falsified when after a struggle
of brilliant tennis lx)th players serving and volleying accurately. Wilding
won a dose five-set mat<m. The rSult was now much in doubt for
cotmting on records, Wilding would beat Little'and Ward would win
over Poidivin. This was correct Ward winning by S straight sets as
did Wilding. The result was to be determined by the Double match

90 ^ International Cup Matches of 1906

and as neither team had played more than once or twice together the
chances were even. The first set was extremely close finally being
won after exceptional overhead play by the Americans. This appar-
ently discouraged the Australasians as their play fell off badly losing
the next two sets, 6-2, 6-4.

By beating Australasia it allowed America to challenge England and
play at Wimoledon, where the American team went at once for practice
having kindly been offered the use of the club and grounds by the Eng-
lish Lawn Tennis Association.

After hard daily practice it was decided to play the same team against
England as played at Newport, Collins playing better but not near
up to form while Wright was still in the hospital. The English team
was composed of H. L. and R. F. Dohertv in Doubles and H. L. Dohejly
and S. H. Smith in Singles with A. W. Gore as a first substitute. This
made a hard team to defeat but the Americans thought there was a
good chance for victory as both Ward and Little were in far better
form than at Newport.

As in the first international matches there was a great interest shown
by the spectators and as usual the Americans were most enthusiastic.
The "centre" or Championship court was in absolutely perfect condi-
tion and all the fixtures were arranged so that the players were handi-
capped in no way. The ball boys were well trained and the linesmen
are to be congratulated for their competency, as all decisions were quick
and accurate, thanks to the committee for their careful selection.

The results of the matches were naturally a disappointment as three of
the five were won in straight sets. The Doubles match was dose and
exciting and well-played, me first set being won by more brilliant play
and better generalship on the part of the Americans. The next two
sets were won by the Dohertys, 11-9, 9-7, only after the keenest kind
of play. They won by their greatest steadiness and accuracy.

American lawn tennis followers, however, do not think that it is im-
possible to recapture the Davis trophy and the conmiittee are seriously
considering sending a team abroad in 1907, providing the three or four
players the committee select are able to make the trip. It will do a
great deal to cement a still closer friendship between me countries and
it is hoped by all lovers of the sport a team will be sent,

WOMEN'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

npHE twentieth anniversary of the Women's National Championship

' was held again at Wissahickon, the home of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, during the week of June 19. Unfortunately the weather was
not all that could be desired as a particularly rainy week was encountered,
but whDe it rained practically every day it was fortunate that the showers
came in the morning and the excellent courts dried and play was pos-
sible in the afternoons.

A large and representative hst of entries made the Tournament par-
ticularly successful. There were 34 entries in the Women's Singles,
16 pairs in the Doubles. 19 pairs in the Mixed Doubles and in the Invi-
tation Men's Singles 35 entries.

The preliminary rounds did not bring forth anything very remarkable
in the way of close contests, but the third round brought together Miss
Edith RotcH of Boston and Miss Clover Boldt of New York. Miss
Rotch will be remembered as a fonner contestant at Wissahickon, while
this was Miss Boldt 's first appearance.

Miss Boldt put up a strong game but the experience of her opponent
proved too much for the newcomer and Miss Botch won by the score
of 6-1, 4-6, 6-0.

Mrs. Barger-Wallach of the Newport Casino Club easily won from
Miss McCaU of the Belmont Club of Philadelphia, but Miss Homans
seemed to have some trouble with Miss Harlan the Philadelphia Cham-
pion. Miss Homans lost the first set, 6-4, but won the succeeding sets,
6-3 and 6-4.

In the Semi-Finals Miss Homans met Miss Rotch and after a nice
match won it, 6-2, 6-3. In the other half of the ) racket Mrs. Barger-
Wallach met Mrs. Toulnain a former champion. Mrs. Barger-WaUach
was successful winning hy 6-2, 6-3. The final match, played on the
grand stand court bought out a large gallery. Mrs. Barger-Wallach 's
puzzling underhand service, coupled with her very strong forearm
drives appeared to have Miss Homans completely at sea and she quickly
ran up four games. With the score 4-1 against her Miss Homans dis-
played more confidence and playing her shots with splendid length and

Women's National Championship 97

accuracy quickly took the next three games evemng the score and in
addition to that ran out the set winning the first set 6-4. Her able and
up-hill work in this set was remarkable and thoroughly appreciated and
enjoyed by the larc^e gallery. The second set Miss Uomans played
with greater confidence and won out handily 6-3. Miss Moore did
not defend her Championship and therefore Miss Homans became
National Champion.

The Women s Doubles brought together in the Finals, Mrs. Coe
and Mrs. Piatt of Englewood, N. J., and Miss Homans and Miss Boldt,
the latter having won a very hard match from Miss Coffin and Miss
Johnson of Staten Island. 6-2, 3-6, and 6-2. The Finals brought out
yerv pretty tennis chiefly in the very long rallies. Mrs. Coe and Mrs.
rlatt Doth playing the back court game and lobbing with great accuracy
and success won the title. The score of the winners was, 6^, 6-4.

In the Mixed Doubles there was considerable upset. Miss Homans
was paired with Mr. R. C. Seaver, Massachusetts State Champion,
Miss Boldt with Mr. N. W. Niles, Intercollegiate Champion, Miss
Coffin, Staten Island with Mr. Dewhurst, Pennsylvania State Champion.
On reapers it would seem that these three pairs would have to fight it
out for the final place. The first round brought together Miss Homans
and Mr. Seaver a^nst Mrs. M. C. Work of the Merion Cricket Club
and Mr. C. M. bunting. Mr. Seaver and Miss Homans promptly
took the first set 6-0, and it looked like a walk over, but Mrs. Work and
Mr. Bunting were not to be denied and quickly won the next set, 6-3
and the thini set, 6-1. This victoiy was a very favorable one from a
Philadelphia standpoint. Also in the first round Miss Boldt and Mr.
Niles met Miss Margaret Johnson and Mr. Johnson of Staten Island
and the family team work was too much for the New York expert and
the Intercollegiate Champion had to acknowledge defeat after a very
stubborn match by the score 8-6, 6-4. In the upper half of the bracket
Mjss Coffin and Mr. Dewhurst had easy sailing and in the finals met
Mr. Johnson and Miss Johnson. This latter pair defeated in the semi-
finals Mrs. Toulmin and Mr. H. C. Townsend and after a long and
interesting match won it by score of 6-4, 5-7. 6-4. The final match
was won by Miss Coffin and Mr. Dewhurst, 6-3, 7-5.

The large event in the Invitation Men's Singles was most enjoyable
to all the contestants and in the final round brought together £. B.
Dewhurst and R. C. Seaver, Mr. Dewhurst winning, 6-3, 7-5.

Aside from the weather which necessitated the playing some of the
finals on Monday of the following week the tournament was a great
success the entries being large in number and representative in character.

LONQWOOD TOURNAMENT.

THE annual Longwood Open Tournament and the Eastern Doubles
Championship were held on the courts of the Longwood Cricket
Club, during the week of July 23. Favored by a high-class entry list
and an enthusiastic gallery throughout the week, the Toiunaments
proved to be among the most successful ever conducted by the Ix)ng
yood Club.

With the exception of the members of the American International
team, Holcombe Ward, Seals Wright, R. D. Little and Kreigh ColUns,
most of the prominent ranked men of the country competed in one or
both events.

In the Singles, the draw was very evenly divided. The Finals came
down to W. J. Clothier and K. Behr, who from the first were the logical
favorites for the place. The match resulted in a victory for Behr, who
played a very swift and brilliant game. In justice to Clothier, however,
it must be admitted that he did not play the game of which he is capable,
though Behr's tactics may have been responsible for this.

Cbsdlenge match between Lamed and Behr, brought together two
men, who understood thoroughly each other's game. The match was
an exceptionally exciting ana hard hitting contest and was won by
Lamed, only through superior steadiness and longer sustained periods
of brilliancy.

EASTERN DOUBLES.

r^ORTY pairs entered this tounuuBent which was held as usual at
■ the Longwood C. C. of which the best were Hs^skett and Alexander,
Lamed and Clothier, and G. L. Wrenn, Jr., and Fincke, but there were
a number of other pairs which might have won a fairly good tournament.
At the top of the list C. F. Watson, Jr.. and F. C. Colston and I. C.
Wright and R. Bishop both won easily till they met in the fourth round,
when the fonner won. In the same round Anderson and J. D. E. Jones
met Hackett and Alexander and lost in straight sets. The latter pair
had met Wrenn and Fincke in the second round and has won three sets
love, though the second and third sets were both 8-6. In the fifth round
they beat Watson and Colston easily which brought them into the final.

In the lower half of the draw N. P. Hallowell and S. P. Ware beat Pell
and LeRoy in a five-set match, and H. C. and C. F. Johnson beat Dew-
hurst and Holt three sets to one.

Dana and Gross had a hard match with Seaver and Putnam but after
that thev won fairly easily till they met Qothier and Lamed in the semi-
final, when they lost. 4-6, 9-7, 6-2, 6-2.

It was evident from the banning of the tournament, that except for
Wrenn and Fincke, either Had^ett and Alexander or Clothier and Lamed
must win.

The Final proved to be a great match. Clothier and Lamed won the
first game with the service and also their opponents service on the next
game, so that they easily came to 3-0, but tney in turn, lost the seventh
on thdr si*rvice and the score went evenly to 8-7, when they again won
against the service, 9-7.

In the second set Qothier and Lamed won the service in the first
game but lost their advantage in the third game. In the sixth they
again won and ke^t their le^ to 6-5, when Hackett and Alexander
took their own service twice and their opponents once. 8-6.
. The third set was one-sided. Clothier and Lamed won their service
twice and never their opponents, 6-2.

In the fourth set it seemed to be Hackett and Alexander's as they were

101

102 Eastern Doubles

40 love and 5-4, but they lost the game and though they won their ser-
vice twice more they lost the set at 10-8.

The last set was 6-3 for Hackett and Alexander. They kept the
lead after two-all and won partly by better condition ana partly by
steadier play.

Alexander won the most points, but he made a good many mistakes.
Qothier made the sniallest number of errors of the four.

L. D. SooTT, Atlanta

THE twentieth annual open tournament for Championship of the
South was held on the courts of the Atlanta (Ga.) Athletic Club
during the week July 3-7» 1906. The tournament, although held for
the first time in the South, having formerly been played in Washington,
D. C, was marked by the largest entry list and the best grade of play
ever seen in the South. The sixty-odd ccmtestants represented a wide
section of the countiy, including players from Ohio, Michigan, Califor-
nia and almost every southern state. The weather conditions were
excellent, and the ten dirt courts of the Atlanta Athletic Club were in
perfect omdition, reflecting great credit upon the management. Mr.
F. H. Reynolds was referee, and is deserving of special mention for the
smoothness and promptness with which he conducted the tournament.

Interest centered chiefly in the play of R. G. Hunt of California,
holder of several Western Champion^ps; Karl Little of Cincinnati.
who the Drevious year made an excellent showing in the Tri-State Tour-
nament, Nat Thornton of Atlanta, who for several ^ears hdd the South
Atlantic States Championship, Gulf States Championship and Georgia
State Championship; Cowan Rodgers of Knoxville, south Atlantic
States Champion and Tennessee State ChamiNon. As Hunt was ranked
ahead of all the other contestants, it was generaUyJbelieved that he stood
the best chanoe of winning, and justified the expectation by disposing
of Rodgers in tiie Semi-fiiuil round by a score of, 6-3, 6-^ and beating
Dr. littie in the Finals, 6-8, 6-0, 6-0.

In the Men's Doubles it was not an easy matter to pick the winners,

107

108 Southern Championbhifb

among the strongest teams entered being B. M. Grant and Nat Thorn-
ton of Atlanta, W. C. Lee ^ichkan) and R. G. Hunt (California),
W. C. Daley and Norman rarrell, Jr., of Nashville; Chas. Rodgers
and Cowan Rodgers of Knoxville, Tavlor and Blackshear of Macon,
Seguin and Logan.of New Orleans and Scott and Williams of Atlanta.

In the Semi-final round Daley and Farreirs match against Giant
and ThOTnton was hard fought throughout, both sides driving hard
and playing very steadily, but the match finally went to Grant and
Thornton b^ the score, 7-5, 9-7.

In the Final round Grant and Thornton met Hunt and Lee in the
hiurdest foufi^ht and most brilliantly contested Double match ever seen
in the South. A large crowd was present to see the contest, and not
until the last stroke m the fifth set was it certain how the match would
end, as the play was even closer than the score indicates. Grant and
Thornton, however, won the match by the score of 6-2, 2-6 S-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Particular interest was felt in the Ladies* Singles Tournament by the
fact that this was the first time lady players had been seen in tournament
play in the South. Miss May L(^n of New Orleans defeated Miss
kathleen Brown of Atlanta in the finals, 6-0, 6-2.

Handsome Championship cups and prizes were donated by the Atlanta
Athletic Club for each event.

TENNESSEE STATE TOURNAMENT

The annual tournament few* the Championship of Tennessee was
held by the NashviUe Tennis Club on June 25 and following days.
The entry list included many of the best players of the South and two
well-known western players, Reuben G. Hunt and W. C. Lee. Hunt
won the Singles tournament and put his name on the cup by defeating
Cowan Rodgers in the Challenge round. Hunt and Lee also won in
the Doubles, but were defeated in the Challenge round by the holdors,
Rodgers brothers of Knoxville, Tenn.

Interest in tennis has been greatiy stimulated in the South of recent
years and the formation of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association
three years ago has put the game on a firm basis. It is hoped that in
1907 a lareer number of Eastern and Western players will play the
Southern Circuit. There were visiting players from California, New
Orleans, Memphis, Knoxville and Atlanta.

GULF STATES CHAMPIONSHIP, 1906

The sixth annual Lawn Tennis Tournament for the Guif State
Championships, in Singles and Doubles, was held at New Orleans,
La., on the grounds and under the management of the New Orleans
Lawn Tennis Club, May 28, and the four days following.

Of the twentv-one entrants in the Singles, all, save four, Messrs.
Grant and Thornton of the Atlanta Athletic Club, and Messra. Swan
and Theobald of the Biloxi Tennis Club, were frona local oi^ganizations.

The Atlanta pair not only successfully defended their title in the
Doubles tourney, but succeeided also in capturing both prizes in the
Singles event. While the home club was greatly handicapped by the
absence of such sterling players as F. T. Payne, J. H. Elliott, S. Logan
and Ew Phelps, it must be said that the Atlanta men were in fine form,
each winning his way into the finals without ^le loss of a single set.
The match l:]^tween them was a fine illustration of the value of endurance.
Grant clearly outf^yin^ Thornton for two sets, only to succumb at
last to the latter 's supenor staying powers.

In the Doidi>les Tournament, Post and Elliott were clearly the best,
winning the open event without the loss of a set. Credit, however,
must l^ given to L^ons and Leverich for their splendid exhibition in
the finals. In the Challenge match, there was httle choice between
the contestants, the holders being slightly superior in team work and
a trifie steadier and to these two qualifications the Georgians undoubted-
ly owe their victory.

Ovnng to the absence froii the city of F. T. Payne, the holder in
Angles, there was no Challenge match and Nat. Thornton was awarded
the Championship by default.

NYACK COUNTRY CLUB OPEN TOURNAMENT.

'T^HE annual Lawn Tennis Tournament was hdd at Nyack durkig
' the week beginning Labor Day, under the auspices of the National
Lawn Tennis Association. A special interest seemed to be shown by
the increased entry list due to the revised terms imder which the trophy
was competed for in the Men*s Singles. The cup, which had been
competed for up till last sununer, having been won for the third time
by Frederick G. Anderson of the King's County Liawn Tennis Club,
the dub offered a new Challenge cup to be competed for under the new
conditions, namely that the winner of the first year must play through
the field a second and third time, not necessarily consecutively, in order
to own the trophy outright. This proved a drawing ca«i presumably,
as the entry list was larger than ever before.

Another event which proved of great interest, was the capture of a
Bracket on the Women's Singles Cup, by the National Champion,
Miss Helen Homans, who defeated the holder of the previous year,
Mrs. W. H. Pouch, in the Challenge round, having won the Women's
Singles event the day before. Li addition to the usual events of pre-
vious years two additional classes were added to the entry Ust, namely
Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

EAST JERSEY LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION.

'T'HE Open Tournament of the East Jersey Lawn Tennis Association
' for the East Jersey Challenge Cup was again held upon the oourts of
the Elizabeth Town and Countiy Club, Elizabeth, N. J., on Aug. 28
and succeeding days, finishing on Labor day, Sept. 3, 1906.

This tournament has now become a fixture and this year took rank
as one of the largest tournaments in the East played upon dirt courts,
in the Men*s Singles there being 63 entries. Nearly all the Metropoli-
tan cracks entered and played in the various events. The increasing
interest in this tournament is explained by the growth of the Association,
and Elizabeth being conveniently situated to New York and vicinity
Good weather during tennis week together with the enthusiasm of the
gallery and hospitality extended by the club, contributed toward the
success of the tournament, which was replete with brilliant tennis as
shown by the scores appended.

Credit was due to the management and the referee in completing
the tournament according to schedule, considering the large number
of entries. Matehes were played promptly upon the nine dirt courts,
which were in fine condition, and up to the standard established by this
club in former years.

The East Jersey Association was one of the first ones in this country
to change the form of competition for Challenge Cups and with the
consent of Messrs. Behr and Anderson who had each won a "leg"
upon the Challenge Cup, one year*s notice was given to the eflFect that
in 1907 and following years the Challenge Round will be done away
with, the winner of 1906 not being required to defend his title and ac-
cordingly in 1907 and thereafter the person who plays through the Men's
Singles and wins in the final round will obtain a leg" on the cup. The
cup will remain in competition until won three times (not necessarily
in succession) by some player. Although this is a somewhat radical
change from customs heretofore in vc^e in this country the object
of the Association was to place the cup m competition upon a fair com-
petitive basis and not give the defender of title, the advantage in the
Challenge Round of playing when fresh the winner who haS played
through the tournament, and was therefore handicapped at the outset.

East Jbbset Lavn Tennis Association 125

The management added this year as a new event. Women's Doubles,
which proved of great interest and a valuable addition to the tournament
and possibly in 1907 Women's Singles will also be added, as the local
club will have twelve courts available for tournaments.

A glance at the scores will show that keen competition was witnessed
by the gallery in the various matches and in order to win the Challenge
Cup some fine tennis was displayed which was duly appreciated by
those who lined the courts during the week.

In the Challen£;e Cup Angles Karl H. Behr was successful in de-
fending his title wnich now gives him two legs upon the cup. Frederick
G. Anderson, the loser, however {^yed his usual consistent game and
the match went to five long drawn-out sets which were bitterly contested
throughout, Behr being called upon to play brilliant tennis and only
his staying power towara the end of the match saved him from defeat.

In the Final round of the Singles, owing to the improvement shown
by Pell, considerable interest was created in this match. Pell's ad-
mirers considered that he would win, and having taken the first set
8-6 their hopes were stren^hened. Anderson, however, got his back
court strokes working from side to side which prevented Pell from getting
up to the net and he won the next three sets. Pell unfortunately tried
to make a return in the second set and in so doin^ fell heavily upon the
court which may have lessened his chance of winmng. The nnal scores
were 6-8, d-7, 7-5, 6-3.

In ihe Men's Doubles, Theodore Roosevelt Pell and Robert LeRoy
after a four set match defeated F. G. Anderson and Otto Hindis. The
playing of LeRoy in this match was one of the features of the tourna-
ment, the Final score being, 6-S, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.

In the Women's Doubles, the playing of Miss Johnson and Miss
Coffin of the Staten Island Ladies Club was the feature of this event
which they won, their match against their club-mates going to three
sets, 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 in the Semi-finals. In the Final Round they were
called upon to play a much harder game than the scores show.

In the Mixed Doubles, Miss Coffin and Mr. Robert LeRoy by con-
sistent play won this event but they had several close matches as all
the teams were evenly matched.

IRVING C. WRIGHT

Winner Wentworth Tournament

^<^" V

WENTWORTH TOURNAMENT.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary.
'T'HE annual Wentworth tournament held its twenty-fifth anniversary
■ on the courts of the Wentworth Hotel. Newcastle, N. H., July 31
and following days and everything seemed to favor the event. The
weather was remarkable as there was but one disagreeable day during
the entire week. The entry list was large and the players were very
evenly ranked. Not only the 300 guests of the hotel were interested
but a number of tennis enthusiasts came each day from the neighboring
summer resorts. ^

Without a doubt the most noted player was Mr. G. M. Brinley now
rector of St. Paul's School, G)ncora, N. H. Mr. Brinley was one of
the first to participate in a Wentworth tournament and in those days he
was among the first* ten players of this country, winning the all-comers
in 1885 and being runner-up with H. A. Taylor in the Doubles the fol-
lowing year. He is left-handed, aggressive and accurate. It was
through the thoughtfulness and efforts of Mr. Brinley that a beautiful
loving cup was presented to Mr. Geoixe Wright (who has been inter-
ested in the Wentworth tournament during these twenty-five years,)
with the following inscription:

Presented to
Mr. George Wright
Twenty-fifth Anniversary
of the
Wentworth Lawn Tennis Tournament as a token of appreciation of
what he has done for the game and for the players.
August 4, 1906.
Mr. Wright replied to the presentation by thanking Mr. Brinley and
the {^yers and also toudied on the history of the Wentworth tourna-
ment stating that almost every Champion of the United States had taken
part, and that for a tournament that nad no Championship title attached
to it that tiie';average play, outndassed any other tennis event
Among the thirty-two entries for Singles it was generally thought that

132 Wentwobth Tournament

one of the Plimptons, Russ, or I. C. Wright would win. The matches
were all hotly contested and it was not mitil Plimpton beat Russ in a
very exciting, wdl-played three-set match that the committee knew
who was to play Wright in the Finals. The Final match was a long
four-set affair. Both players ran to the net on every occasion and were
sure over head. Plimpton had a winning fore hand cross court stroke
and was more brilliant, but Wright won t&ough his steadiness, accuracy
and better judgment.

In the Doubles Brinley and Nichols or Wright and Johnson were
mcked to win, but unfortunately, these teams met in the Semi-Finals.
The tennis was fast and although Brinley and Nichols had superior
ground strokes, the aggressive net play and sharp volleying of their
opponents was too much. The score is a peculiar one and really does
not show the closeness of the match, which made a splendid end to a
most successful week. B. C. Wri^t and Jarvis Geer, (Ex-Chanoipion
of Pittsburg in Doubles, with Mr. Byers,) won their way to the Fmals
but unfortunately had to default.

COUNTRY CLUB OF SPRINGFIELD TOURNAMENT.

^T^HE first open tournament of the Country Club of Springfield, Mass.
* undar the auspices of the U. S. National Lawn Tennis Association,
was held on the dub courts from July 10 to 14. Owing to conflicting
dates with two other tournaments several expected entries were scratched
at the last moment. Notwithstanding this fact, the tournament brought
out some very interesting tennis.

The Singles was won by Robert LeRoy of New York, who defeated
Frames W. Cole of Hartford in the Final round. LeBojjr also won in
the Doubles, being paired with Richard Hooker of Sprmgfield. The
Consolation round wajs won by L. H. Fitch of New York.

MASSACHUSETTS SOUTH SHORE OPEN
TOURNAMENT.

npHE seventh annual open tennis tournament for the Massachusetts
^ South Shore Championship, was held this year as usual at North
Sdtuate Beach on the Hatherly Club courts, during the week Aug. 20
to 25. In the lower half the best players were drawn, the Plimpton
brothers meeting in the second round. This proved to be a well-played
match and went to the younger player in straight sets. In the upper
half E. A; Mead of Dorchester defeated F. Whiting HiU of Worcester
in the Semi-Finals, but was not strong enough to win out in the Final
round against E. Ray Speare, who beat Mead in straight sets.

The Challenge round was somewhat disappointing as Speare failed
to make an^ snowing against Irvine Wright. The latter, fresh from
a string of victories at Newport com{£tely outclassed the Newton Center
man, aiid after being beaten two sets, Mr. Speare defaulted the third.
This victory gives Mr. Wright two legs on the trophy offered by the
Hatheriy Club.

The Men's Doubles were won by the Plimpton brothers. The first
two sets were won by their opponents but by a remarkable brace and
consistent playing they pulled the last three. This match was most
nteresting and witnessed by a laige gallery.

NORTHWESTERN LAWN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

^T^HE annual tennis tournament for the Championship of the North-
' west, was held during the last week in July, at Deej^ven, Lake
Minnetonka, under the auspices of the Minnetonka Yacht Gub.

Visiting players assembled from the Dakotas, Canada and Iowa,
as well as from Chicago and Cincinnati, the most prominent being L.
H. Waidner, Nat. Emerson, R. G. Hunt, W. D. Love, Kriegh Coffins,
J. H. Wheeler and W. E. Blatherwick.

The Singles tournament brought forth good matches between Hunt
vs. Love, Emerson vs. Hunt, and Waidner vs. Emerson, of which the
five-sets match in the Semi-Finals between Emerson and Hunt was the
most closely contested of the tournament. In the Finals, Waidner won
from Emei]son in a four-set, closely contested match, but in the Challenge
match, which brought forth brilliant though uneven playing, was unable
to wrest the title from Kriegh Collins.

The outcome of the Doubles furnished the surprise of the tournament.
Waidner and Emerson who had, in the previous week, won the Western
Championship, were expected to win easily. Opposed to them in the
Semi-Finals was the Canadian, W. D. Love and T. N. Jayne, the Cham-
pion of Dakota, — steady, careful players, thoroughly familiar with
match playiiig.

Much credit is due to the victors for the skilled manner in which they
directed their play, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the
sportsmanship of the vanquished. Emerson *s willingness to play two
consecutive hard matches, with a total of 88 games, will long be remem-
bered.

WHITE MOUNTAIN LAWN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

1906.

npHEKfirst annual open tournament for the Championship of the White
■ Mountains under the auspices of the U. S. N. L. T. A. took p\ace
on the courts of the Crawford House Tennis Club, August 15, 1906,
and continued through the week. Favored by beautiful weather and
a large entry list of about fifty participants, it was a most pronounced
success. The central location of the courts of the Crawford House
Tennis Club in the very heart of the "White Mountain region enabled a
large gallery to be present daily from the many hotels and cottages
throughout the White Mountains. Much enthusiasm was manifested
and the most excellent tennis shown particularly by Mr. Semp Russ,
Mr. Geo. Brooke, Mr. W. B. Cragin, Jr.. Mr. E. B. Cornwall, Mr. T.
B. Plimpton, Mr. Gardner Walworth, Mr. N. H. Batchelder and Mr.
Chas. Fettrech and was much appreciated. It was generally conunented
upon that owing to the great number of tourists and pleasure seekers
who are always to be found in the White Mountains, these annual tourna-
ments, the second of which will be held early in August 1907, will become
one of the most prominent tennis features of New England.

The 1906 Champion, Mr. Semp Russ. well earned his title and the
trophy that went with it by his vigorous and consistent splendid tennis
shown from beginning to end. By far the best match in Singles proved
to be the Semi-Finak between Mr. Russ and Mr. Brooke. Brooke's
tennis at times was superb but Russ's superb condition and continuous
fine play won for him a most exciting match.

In Doubles the most interesting tennis was seen in the match between
Messrs Cragin and Miller and Messrs Young and Evans.

The first prize in Doubles was finally carried off by Messrs Russ
and Cornwall who defeated Messrs Cragin and Miller handily in the
Finals.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP.

'T^HE sixteenth annual tournament for the championship of the Pacific
* Northwest held on the new courts of the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club,
August 7 and following days, proved to be far-and-away the most rep-
resentative and largest meet of experts ever held in this jurisdiction.
All previous records were broken, and the greatest interest and enthu-
siasm! was aroused. The principal cups contested for at this meeting
were the famous Thome cup, open, for Men*s Singles; Pacific N. W.
Championship; the Ashton cup, open, for Ladies* Singles; the Mult-
nomah cup, for Singles Championships of the International League;
the Tacoma cups, open, for Men*s Doubles, Pacific N. W. Champion-
ship; and the International Cups for Championship of the International
Association; the two latter pair being presented by the Tacoma Club
and played for the first time this year.

One source of additional interest, bringing manv players from far
away, was the annual tournament of the Pacific Northwest International
Association, an organization of clubs in British Columbia, Washington,
and Oregon, whicS was played oif early in the same week, and which
is limited to two entries from each dub. There were, also, many of
Tacoma 's old-time visitors who were not down last year, and so had
never se6n the handsome new dub house and ideal grounds which have
done so much to create new interest in the game in this section.

In the open Championships practically all of the first-dass players
in this section, with only one or two exceptions, entered the tournament,
including the best representatives from Seattle, Portland, Oregon,
Spokane, Everett, Victoria, B. 'C, Vancouver, B. C, Olympia, and
Tacoma. Never before have all the dties within the circuit been so
fully represented by their best men. There were besides Messrs Thorn-
dyke and Beals, of Boston, and other representatives from several of
the eastern states, the Misses Ryan of Pasadena, California. '-'1,

In the Ladies' events the Ryans had everything their own way, of course,
local players never having been up against an^/thing of this kind before.

146 Pacific Nqbthwebt Championbhip

This was the first time that the Pacific Northwest has witnessed the
wonderful play of the famous women of Pasadena; and their play was
a great treat to a hi^y appreciative audience.

Among the men, Frank A. Payne, of Tacoma, a recent arrival, for-
merly c£unpion of the Gulf States, proved his superiority over any of
the local plavers at this tournament; and, indeed, without a doubt,
over any of the past or present Pacific Northwest men. Joe Tyler, of
Seattle, fresh from his victory at Victoria, — ^the first American, by the
way, to win that event — ^was twice defeated by Payne. Walter A.
Goss, the title holder, went down to defeat before Tyler, but only after
a very dose match, in which Goss was playing for the match point several
times in the last set. W. A. McBurney, the Champion of the Inter-
national League, was unfortunately suffering from a sprained ankle,
and so was not the factor in the contest that he shoidd have been, to the
great disappmntment of his many friends. The Eastern men entered
were outclassed by the local players.

INTERCOLLEQIATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

'T'HE twenty-sixth annual intercollegiate lawn tennis tournament
■ was held at Haverford, Pa., on the courts of the Merion Cricket
Club during the first week in October. In spite of inclement weather
throughout the week, large crowds witnessed each day's play with un-
usual interest. The tennis enthusiasts were not disappointed in the
style or the quality of the game as played by the collegians and applauded
each good play heartily. At times the courts were too wet for very
fast playing, but at all times the heady and accurate work of the con-»
testants made the games most interesting and instructive.

The result of the tournament proves conclusively the right of Mr.
LeRoy to the title of Intercollegiate Champion for 1906. Mr. LeRoy*s
game is a marvel of steadiness, and this quality together with his most
thorough understanding of tennis removed nearly all questions of the final
outcome as soon as his abilities were shown on the court. This is the
second time LeRoy has held the title and collegians hail him as their
worthy peer and regret that he will not be able to compete for the honor
again. Dewhurst, of Pennsylvania, and Sulloway, of Harvard, were
tiuked of as probabilities but they were unable to appear because of
the 'eligibility rules Tof their!.''universities. LeRoy was challenged but
as the! university helo him eligible it was decided that the intercollegiate
association should foUowJJts custom in such matters until it should
adopt eligibility rules to govern the entries.

iNTSBOOIiLigGIATB CHAMFIONBHIP 165

GordcHi, of Prinoeton, proved to be the greatest surprise of the tourna-
ment. He had not been considered in the running by those who were
picking the players to make the best showing. However, he placed
tfarou^ to lieRoy in the Semi-Final round after handily defeating
Greer of Cornell, Abbott of Williams, and Kawasaki of Pennsylvania.
Greer of Cornell, played Crordon, 9-11, 5-7, in the preliminary round
which was one of me prettiest matches of the toiunament. Kawasaki,
a player of much experience, was expected to do better. Tilden, of
Pennsylvania, and Pell of Harvard, played well throughout the tourna-
ment. Linen of Williams, and Morse of Harvard, both of whom were
looked upon as strong players, were unfortunate in the drawing, both
going down before LeRoy early in the tournament. Richardson,
Princeton's captain, and Drennen, Comell's captain, fought it out at
length in the second round, the latter winning by a smaller margin
than the score would indicate. Drennen could not hold the pace and
was defeated by Tilden in the Tri-Finals in straight sets, the first of these
being a nerve trial. Abbott of Williams played well but could not de-
feat Grordon. Yale had the misfortune to drop every match of Singles
in the preliminaiy round and Haverford did not fare much better.

In Doubles, Yale had it all her own way, the two teams going to the
Finals. Both teams — Wells and Spalding, and Partridge and Dol-
beare — played together beautifully. It was their team work rather
than their individual playing that won so consistently. Greer and
Marston of Cornell, played Partridge and Dolbeare their closest match
in the second round, out could not win Register and Tilden of Penn-
sylvania, played beautifullv in the Semi-Final round against the same
team until Tilden sprainea his ankle in a fall on the court. Thomson
and Pyi^e of Princeton were looked upon as one of the strongest teams
in attendance, but they went down before Tilden 's brilliant playing
and Register's steadiness. Wells and Spalding, considered tne best
Yale team, played steadily and consistently throughout the tournament.
The Finals oetween the two Yale teams brought out some exceptional
team work. Wells and Spalding won out 6-1, 6-2, 6-1.

At the annual meeting of the Association a rule was adopted prohi-
biting all first vear men and all men who have graduated from any
institution which is a member of the Association, from being entered as
contestants in the annual intercollegiate tournament. At this meeting it
was decided to hold the next tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 2, and
succeeding days until completed.

New England Intercollegiate Championship.

THE seventh annual New England Intercollegiate tennis tourna-
ment was held on the coiuis of the Longwood Cricket Club, Bos-
ton, Mass. Play which was to have begun on the twenty-eighth of May
was delayed until the afternoon of the twenty-ninth owing to a heavy
rain.

The Singles brought out some very interesting tennis especially in
the Semi-Fmal and Final rounds, but perhaps the best tennis was dis-
played in the Final round. In the Final match, Smith, (Williams)
met last year's champion^ Fanning (Technology) and defeated him-

3, 8-6, 7-5, thereby regaining the Championship which he had held

6-3, 8-6, 7-5, thereby regaining the Championship which he had held
two years previous. Though Fanning did not win a set he contested
stubbornly every point and it was only Smith's brilliancy coupled with
his steadiness at critical moments which brought him a win in straight
sets.

The Final match in Doubles was the only one of particular interest.
In this match Smith and Westcott (Williams) faced Fanning and Nicholl
(M. I. T.) and were defeated by the latter pair after a hard five-set
struggle by the score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-8, 7-5. The Technology team
displayed the best team work but made many costly errors.

Scores:

Singles.

First Round: Nicholl (M. I. T.) beat Hanscom (Tufts), by default.

WESTERN INTERCOLLEGIATE TOURNAMENT.

AS usual the first big tournament <d the western tennis season canoie
with the playing of the Intercollegiate on the new Walker-Gordon
Laboratory courts of the University of Chicago bc^^nning with May
27 and ending with the play oi May 80.

It was by far the largest event of its kind held in recent years and the
highest quality of collegiate tennis was shown. Five of the conference
coUeg^es together with Cornell College, Iowa, were represented and
Micm^an — a usually strong contender — ^would have been nad not finan-
cial difficulties interfere. The diief interest in the event centered
in the work of Walter T. Hayes, of Cornell College who captured the
event. He was hard pressed, however, by Richards L. Loesch of Wis-
consin, whose defeat of Cyrus Gamett, the title holder, was the one big
surprise of the tournament. On the day Loesch met Hayes in the
Finals it was keenly regretted by the gallery present that the Wisconsin
re{>resentative had been tired out by a strenuous program of matches
which had left him in a seemingly "stale" condition, wbile Hayes,
on the other hand, had been fortunate in the arrangement of his matches
and was comparatively fresh. Nevertheless an interesting match fol-
lowed in whicn the aggressiveness of Loesch often won for him through
its daring alone. Hayes' wonderful ability to cover a clay court and
his remancable reach at the net finally pull^ the match out for him after
four unusually hard fought sets.

This was the first year that Cornell College had been represented in
a western athletic meet and its victory was warmly received. The
fight this year between Hayes, who will again compete, Loesch, who
plays for the last time and Heath Byford, who for the first time will
be eligible to represent Chicago is looked forward to with keen interest
as they all appear to be closely matched on clay courts.

TOURNAMENT.

^HE third annual tournament for the individual championships of
^ the Mystic Valley Tennis Association, Massachusetts, was held
on the courts of the Oakl^ Country Club at Watertown, Mass., July
7 to 14, 1906. The entries were as usual open only to the members
of the Oakley, Dedham, Milton, Belmont, Winchester, and Lexington
Clubs composing the Association. Oakley had previously won the
Team Championship. This tournament as usual brought togetiher
a large number of the players of ability in the Boston district and some
very keen matches were the result — ^the best in the Doubles being the
Jackson and Read-Chase and Keyes contest in the third round; the
Final won by Butters and Nowell over Jackson and Read. In the
Singles J. H. Chase, who later won the Connecticut Championship and
the York Harbor tournament, won as he was expected to do. There
were, however, numerous upsets. Nowell of Winchester, last year*s
winner, was put out in his first match by Keyes. O'Brien of Behnont
also succumbed unexpectedly and J. B. Read of Oakley was defeated
by J. R. Post of Milton, the "dark horse" of the tournament. The
Behnont Tennis Club won the trophy offered for the greatest number
of matches won.

STATE TOURNAMENTS.

NEW YORK

PJOR the first time in the history of the dub, the New York State
* Championship of both Singles and Doubles was held on the turf
courts of the Staten Island Cricket and Tennis Club, at Livingston,
L. I., during the week beginning July 2. In addition to first, runners
up, and Consolation prizes, a handsome silver punch bowl was offered
by the club as a Championship Trophy, to be won three times, not
necessarily consecutive, for absolute possession. The toumameBt <^
nearly 50 entries, brought out our best players, resulting in tennis of
the first order. The Singles were won by Mr. H. H. Hackett after
consistently good play throughout the tournament. A notable match of
the tournament was that of the Semi-Finals in Singles lasting between two
and three hours, which Mr. Hackett won from Mr. Karl Behr, after
an exceedingly close and spirited contest in which Mr. Behr's smashing
at the net, was a strong feature. The match was won only by the char-
acteristically steady, consistent play of Mr. Hackett which he had
evinced throughout the tournament.

Notable features of the event were the matches won by Mr. C. A.
Blyth, Jr., member of the home dub, from Mr. F. G. .^derson and
Mr. Wylie C. Grant. Mr. Blyth was then beaten in the Semi-Finals
two out of three sets, by Mr. F. C. Colston. The old-time player Mr.
Malcolm Chace demonstrated that he had not lost his skill by defeating
Mr. C. F. Watson, Jr. Mr. Chace defaulted later in the toMrnament.
It was a subject for regret, the defaulting after their first match, of
Messrs Hackett and Alexander in the Doubles. This event was won
hy Messrs Theo. R. Pell and Hugh Tallant, a well-earned and popular
victory.

PENNSYLVANIA.

The 1906 tennis season at the Merion Cricket Club, Haverford,

to the members of the American International Tennis Team, Messrs
Seals C. Wright, Raymond D. Little, Holcombe Ward, and Kreigh
Collins taking part in the tournament, together with Messrs William
J. Clothier, F. G. Anderson, E. B. Dewhurst and local players. While
no special record of matches was made, Mr. Wright carried off the
honors of the tournament.

The Women's Pennsylvania Tournament, was held June 4 and fol-
lowing days, there being no less than twenty-seven entries in the Singles,
including beside a numerous delegation from the local clubs, repre-
sentatives from the Longwood Cricket Club, the Newport Tennis Club
and others.

The tournament was marked by many closely contested matches,
the tournament being won by Miss Evelyn Sears, of the Longwood
Club, Boston, who also won the Championship, through the default
of Miss Ellizabeth Moore, the holder of 1905.

The Chammoosliip in Doubles was won by Miss Eydyn Sears and
Miss E. R. Sears, and the Chamiiionship in Mixed Doubles by Miss
E. R. Seais and William J. Clothier.

The State Championship.

The State Championship for men was held June 11 and following
days wiUi an entry list of forty-one players in the Singles, which is the
record list for this tournament, in fact, for any general tournament
held in Philadelphia. The entries included rei»>eaentatives from the
University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, the local clubs and out of town
dubs.

The Final match in Singles in the toiimam«it was between William
J. Clothier and J. R. Carpenter, Jr., Mr. Clothier winning easily in three
straight sets. He also won the Championship, defeating £. B. Dew-
hurst, the holder of 1905, in three easy sets, and giving spectators a
display of tennis, which was conceded 1o be ecjual to anything hereto-
fore seen near Philadelphia, and sure, if continued, to make him the
Champion of the United States for the current year, which prediction
was fulfilled as Mr. Clothier won the ChamjMonship at the Newport
tournament held later.

The first place in Doubles was won by Rendall and Marsh of Prince-
ton, though they were beaten for the Championship by £. B. Dewhurst
and J. R. Carpenter, Jr., the holders of 1905, in three straight sets.

CONNECTICUT.

The Connecticut state tournament was held on the courts <^ the
Litchfield Club, Ju'y 17. The tournament was a suooessful one in
spite of the fact that Richard Doughty of New Yorb, the title holder,
was unable to be present. Another absentee was Francis W. Cole,
of Hartford, Conn., who for two years has held the "President's Cup,**
which is run off in connection with the Chamfnonship.

Mr. John H. Chase, of Saybrook, Connecticut, won both cups this
year, beating L. H. Fitch of New York in the Finals in straight sets.
John H. Chase and Sidney P. Henshaw of Harvard won the Champion-
ship Doubles by defeating Edward W. Seymour and Robert Deming,
both of Litchfield. Edward W. Se^our won the Consolation cup
beating H. Putnam of Washington in a hotly contested match. Mr.
Chase also won the "President's Cup" by defeating Charles Lindley
of New York in straight sets.

The entry was rather small; about 25 players competing, but there
was intense enthusiasm and some excellent tennis.

VERMONT.

The sixth annual Vermont State Championship Toumanient was
held on the courts of the Old Pine Golf Club at St. Johnsbuiy.
Vt., August 7-11, 1906.

These tournaments since their inception have shown steady improve-
ment in number of entries, quaHtv of play, and efficiency of manage-
ment; that of 1906 was a distinct advance over any previous year in each
of these three attributes. The gods of the weath^ knt a helping hand
in securing this result, for the week was unmarred by rain, except for
a few big drops that tumbled out of an ominous looking blade doud
on the sdftemoon of the Challenge Match, the effect of which was nothing
more serious than to send all but the most courageous of the groups
of the fair gallery scurrying to the clubhouse.

The tournament presented many interesting features, but perhaps
those most worthy of conunent were the steady and consistent work oi
Sweetzer of Boston throughout the tournament; the unexpected defeat
of Irving Wright by Cornwall; the magnificent showing, especially
gratifying to me local enthusiasts, of Fau-banks and Sprague in the
Doubles, and the' all-round good work of Fairbanks; and the splendidly
sustained defence of the Clmmpionship cup by Semp Russ of San An-
tonio, Texas.

Sweetzer of the Boston Latin School, though but a lad, dis|^yed
qualities of resourcefulness and command of stroke during his matches
which should carry him well into the front rank of the experts of the
next decade. He was se&OL at his best in his match with Cornwall,
who had previously beaten Wright. Cornwall was utterly unable
to cope with Sweetzer 's strong net play, and the latter was never headed.
His stand against Russ in the Challenge match was well planned, and
well executed too; but he was evidently wearied somewhat by his exer-
tions during the week, and the superior experience and endurance of
the Champion stood him in good stead.

Fairbanks and Sprague had evidently entered the Doubles with a
determination to keep at least one trophy in the state, and they carried
out their resolve admirably. They showed their best form in the match
against Cornwall and James, where their superior team work brought
them through to a win against two probably better individual performers.

Statb Toxjbnamentb 191

Semp Russ was clearly the best of the many good men in the tomna-
ment, and the result oi his match with Sweetzer was never in doubt
after the first set. His win gave him a second leg on the handsome
cup, and to deter him from making it his permanent possession in 1907
wiD require a greater tennis ability than has j^et been seen in Vermont.

A wond of^fayorable comment should be said for the work of Parker
and Sibley, which showed that with a little more experience they will
be factors to be reckoned with. The great improvement shown by the
younger local olayers also deserves commendation.

The State Ohampionship for 1907 will be held on the same courts,
when it is hoped that all the old favorites and many new
ones will be on hand to renew the friendly battle, and to enjoy the many
festivities with which "tournament week" is always well sprinkled.

MARYLAND.

Catonsville Coantry Club. Tennis 1906.

The annual June tournament, open only to residents of Maryland
brought out the best of the local men, and an unusually huge num<
ber of ladies. F. C. Colston again won the Singles, defeating Dr. Henry
Helmholtz in the Final round. Colston and B. B. V. Lyon again won
the Doubles, defeating Dr. John H. King and Dr. Helmholtz in the

Maryland State Toumament.

The toumament for the big Catonsville Country Qub challenge cup
and the open Championship ol Maryland was started on Sept 10. The
weather was unusually hot during the first part of the week and caused
much distress to the players, a rainy afternoon in the middle of the
week did not prevent play, and after that, weather conditions with the

SXATB TOUBMABIBMTB 190

ezoeptkm off wind, were ideal. A latge galleiy filled the clubhouse
piazzas and lawii each day of the tounuunent, and even the showers
of Wednesday did not keep the eager spectators from the courts.

The pick of the local men were entered and the presence of a number
of outrof-town cradcs increased greatly the interest of the tournament.
E. B. Dewhurst who won the cup played better tennis than ever before
at Catonsville and though Bobt LeBoy, the defender, played excellent
tennis, Dewhurst outputyed him throughout the match and won in
straight sets, 6-1, 7-5, B-6; Colston, Smioway, Dewhurst and others
played very good tennis throughout the^ week and the residents of Ca-
tonsville were as usual most courteous in their treatment of the visiting
plavers.

i. B. V. Lyon who last year won the Doubles with Colston was much
nussed fnnn the tournament, but he was unable to return to Baltimore
in time to play. The week was thoroughly enjoyed by both local and
visiting players and each year there is keener mterest shown in the
contest for the big silver cup, which already has engraved on it the
names of H. F. AUen, B. C. Wright, Robt. LeBoy and £. B. Dewhurst.

VIRGINIA.

The sixth annual lawn tennis tournament for the open champion-
ship of Virginia was played on the dirt coijrts of the Country Club,
Elizabeth River Beach, Norfolk, Va., the week commencing June 4,
1906, under the auspices of the U. S. N. L. T. A.

The courts were not in the best of condition, not having been used
much prior to the date of the tournament, and some days of easterly
wind, with one afternoon of rain, delayed the games somewhat, and
prevented the best of tennis.

Men's Doubles, Men*s Singles, and Men's Consolation Singles were
the only events, as there were no lady entries.

Miss M. C. Evans, of Richmond, Va., the winner of the Ladies '
Singles in 1905, having no one to challenge her for the trophy cup,
donated by the club last year, becomes the winner again this year, by
default.

In the Men's Singles Hugh G. Whitehead, of Norfolk, Va., won the
tournament, and as Harry F. AUen, of New York City, was unable

to be on hand to defend his title to the trophy cup, it passed into the
possession of Hugh G. Whitehead, for the year 1906.

In the Men's Doubles the winners of the tournament were Washing-
ton Reed, of Portsmouth, Va., and Hugh G. Whitehead of Norfolk, Va.,
who thus became the challengers for the troplw cups, and in the Chal-
lenge round defeated last year's holders, Mr. B. B. Vincent Lyon, and
Fred C. Colston of Baltimore, Md.

The Consolation Singles was won by Dr. J. R. Bagby of Newport
News, Va., who secured the first prize, while Mr. R. W. Tomlin was
the winner of the second prize.

Baltimore, Md., Atlanta, Ga., Wilmington, N. C, and Newport
News, Va., all sent representatives.

First prize in the Men's Singles went to Mr. Hugh G. Whitehead
of Norfolk, while the second fell to Mr. Washington Reed, of Portsmouth,
Va.

WEST VIRGINIA.

The first annual Invitation Tournament for West Virginia Champion-
ship was held at The Parkersburg Country Club, Parkersburg,
W. Va., on Sept. 17, 18, and 19. The weather conditions were perfect,
and the clubs four clay courts were in splendid condition.

Great interest was taken in the tournament by lovers of the sport
as was shown by the attendance, and the ladies were particularly in
evidence throughout the several days* play. The visitors included
players from the different sections of the state, and they were enter-
tain^ with several informal affairs during the first and seoond days

State Tournamxntb 805

of the tournament, and on the third day the tournament was brought
to a dose with a Urge dub dance in the evening, and all expressed them-
selves as highly phased with the cordial treatment accorded them.

three times, not necessarily m succession, in the Singles, and same was

TRI-STATE TOURNAMENT.

Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

Cincinnati's position as the foremost tennis center of the West^
was again evidenced throughout the week of Sept. 1 to 8, 1906,
the occasion being the Eighth Cincinnati Open Tennis Tournament.
Play was held on the courts of the Cincinnati Tennis Club and under
the auspices of the U. S. N. L. T. A. Each day the grounds were
thronged with a representative audience and the interest manifested
throughout was unprecedented, while the quality of play, although
one or two of the men seemed to be out of form, was on an average
higher than that of any previous occasion. The entry list, too, was
the largest in the history of these meetings, together giving indisputable
evidence of the growing popularity and permanency of tennis. Most
gratifying to the association was the increased number of players who
were attracted from a distance. From California came Miss May
Sutton and Miss Florence Sutton together with A. C. Way. Prominent
among several from the South were Southern Champion Ned Thornton
and his partner. Grant. Kreigh Collins, Western Champion, headed
the Chicago delegation, while B. C. Wright, Behp, R. D. Little and
LeRoy made up a quartet of representative Easterners.

Much attention centered in Miss Florence Sutton. In the Singles
her presence added a degree of uncertainty to the final outcome that
only increased as the week sped on. True to predictions she swept
all before her in the preliminaries thereby gaining the right to challenfie
her sister. Miss May Sutton, Tri-State Champion and holder of the
Tri-State Challenge cup. The weather was perfect and their match
drew an over-crowded gallery. The Champion started ^th a rush,
winning the first three games. Miss Florence Sutton retaliated by
taking the fourth and fifth and after losing the sixth game added the
next three to her credit by grand playing, thus forcing the score to 5-4

StATB TomiNAMBNTO f09

in her favor. At this critical period the incomparable steadiness of
Miss May Sutton asserted itself and to that lady went the three foUow-
ing games and set, 7^5. Early in the second set Miss Florence Sutton
showed signs of fatigue and it became evident that the terrific pace
of the previous ^pmes could not be long maintained. On tiie other
hand the Champion grew stronger and eventually the set and match
were hers, 7-6, d-2. One more victoiy will give Miss May Sutton per-
manent po^ession of the ChaDenge troi)hy. In summing up these
games certain it is that they were a revelation to the spectators and the
sisters wfll be warmly welcomed when they return. In justice to the
local lady players it may be said that the work of many showed mariced
improvement and gave promise that some future Champ]<»is will daim
Cincinnati as their home. ^ The Finals in Ladies' Doubles brought
Miss May Sutton and Miss Manorie Dodd against Miss Florence
Sutton and Miss Lulah Belden. Some excellent tennis resulted, the
first team winning only after the full three sets had been played. Score
6-3, 8-6, 6-3.

Seventy-eight contested in Men*s Singles for the honor of meeting
Tri^tate Champion, B. C. Wright, a feature of these matdies being
the initial appearance before a Queen City audience of Karl Behr,
the Yale expert. The favorites seemed to win in each event until the
third round, when Kreigh Collins was retired at the hands of Thornton.
Collins was in poor form while the Southerner played a steady, carefully
planned game. The locals, W> P* Hunt and Dr. Carl Little also clashed
m this round. Hunt winning, 6-3, 6^, 7-6. In the Semi-Finals LeBoy
had no trouble with Thornton, while R. D. Little and Behr resumed
hostilities after their sensational match at Newport the week before,
littie turned the tables and won 7-6, 6-4. Every one of the twenty-two
games was hard fought with Little just good enough to take the decid-
ing pmnts. The Fi^ round saw LeRoy making perhaps his premier
impression of the year. He chose to remain mostly in the back and,
having perfect control over every stroke his work proved most effective.
Little opened in good form but lost the set 9-7, being unfortunate in
having a number of his adversaiy*s returns drop unexpectedly into his
court after striking the net. The second set was decided strictly on its
moits. Advantage alternated until ten-all had been callai when Le-
Roy broke throu^ Little's service and winning his own took the set
12-10. During a rally in the third set Little sustained a fall and from
that on the result was hardly in doubt, licRoy capturing the set, 6-1;

210 Statb ToomrAMSNTS

thus qualifying for the Chiunpionahip round. Mr. Wr^ht arrived early
in the week from Newport and spent the time quietly in practising and
renewing acquaintances. His appearance on the court with I^Roy
was the signal for an ovation ana the ensuing struggle made a fitting
climax to Uie^tournament. Wright lost no time in bringing his ''chop
stroke into action, at the same time being very steady and safe in nis
pJay. These tactics bothered LeRoy from the start, with the result
l^t the net received many of the shots that wrought such havoc with
Little's game the day before. All the while Wright was making few
mistakes and lost no time in taking the first two sets» 6-4, 6-4. Here
LeRoy. found himself and by a wonderful effort pulled the score up
to two-sets all. To many it seemed that the New Yorker had solved
Wright's game could he but last. But the Champion was not to be out-
done and the dedding set found him playing as he never {Jayed before,
allowing his brilliant opponent but two games. Final score, 6-4, 6-4,
4-6, 4-6, 6-2. This constituted Wright's third victory for the Goverh6rs'
Bowl, the Challenge trophy in Men's Singles, and by deed of gilt the
beautiful prize became his personal property. Immediately at the
conclusion of the match formal presentation was made to Mr. Wi^ht
amid the applause of the crowded stands and thus the eighth Tri-
State Tournament passed into tennis history.

The Doubles were replete with exciting and hard-fought matches.
W. .P. Hunt and H. T. Emerson of Cincinnati succeeded in reaching
the Finals where they lost to R. D. Little and Karl Behr only after
those gentlemen had . barely escaped with their lives at the hands of
A. C. Way and LeRoy.

The Finals in Mixed Doubles brought Miss May Sutton and A. C.
Way against Miss Florence Sutton and Josiah Beldeh. Miss May
Sutton and A. C. Way won. 7^5, 6-2.

ILLINOIS.

The fourth annual tournament of the Aztec Tennis Club of Chicago
for the State Championship of Illinois was held during the week
of July 7 and brought out an unusually large entry Ust. The club's
courts had been thoroughly gone over just prior to the event and a large
addition to the clubhouse had been built, which together with the almost

State ToimNAHENTs Stl5

ideal weather tended to make the tournament of last year the most
successful in the history of the north-side club. The event was note-
worthy principally on account of the work of the younger players of
the city all of whom made enviable showings. Of these Heath B^ord,
who proved to be the tennis sensation of the western season, did the
best work and by consistently good playing ran through the upper half
with comparative ease meeting little opposition until the Semi-Final
round was reached. His victory oyer Walter T. Hayes, the intercol-
legiate and middle-west Champion in the third round brought out his
best quality of tennis and gave a good line on his improved form. In
the Final round Byford met and defeated in straight sets Buell Mc-
Keever the veteran player of the Kenwood Club who had run through
the lower half with little difficultv. Following this victory he challenged
Li. Hany Waidner for his title of (. hampion. This match showed
conclusivelv just how great the improvement in Byford *s play had been
for he started in strongly and captured the first set rather easily to the
surprise of everyone. In the second set Byford again led at 2-love
but the superior steadiness and the greater experience of Waidner stood
him well after that with the result that he pulled out the set 6-3 and
followed by taking the next two sets and the match 6-1 and 6-4. This
victory of Waidner *s cave him permanent possession of the beautiful
Challenge cup which ne had won twice previously.

The Men's Doubles proved easy for Waidner and Peters who ran
through the tournament with the loss of but one set. In the Final
round they met McKeever and Beard and defeated them after a match
replete with long rallies, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

The Women's events were unusually interesting and the quality of
tennis shown was the best ever seen on the Aztec courts. The surprise
came with the work of Miss Miriam Steever who broke into "Cham-
pionship class" for the first time after a series of brilliant victories,
lifiss Steever had by far the hardest draw of the tournament and was
forced to meet nearly every player of class in the tournament in order
to gain the Championship title. Her victories over Mrs. R. B. Neff
in the Final round and Miss Edythe Parker in the Challenge round
were big surprises to the "gallery * as it was figured Miss Steever was
hafdly experienced enough to defeat such well-known players. Miss
Steever *s dashing style of play proved too much, however, for her older
opponents and she carried off the state title after the most brilliant
woric. The Women's Singles brought out some brilliant young women

plajrers of whom much is expected. Of these Miss Mabel Lee, of the
Umversity *of ^hicaj^ and the Misses McG>mieU and Hatch showed
the most finished fonn and idi th^ appear to Uck is tournament experi-
ence. Hie Women's Doubles quiduv narrowed down to a fight in
the Finals between Misses Park^ and Steever and Mrs. Barnes and
Miss Lee which the former team won after two hard sets, 8-6, and 6-4.

MISSOURI.

The annual tournament for the tennis Championship of the State
of Missoun was held on the courts of the St. Louis A. A. Assn. in
St. Louis the week of July 4, 1906. There was more interest taken
in the tournament this year than ever before, entries being received
from all over the state. Among these were Mr. Vernon and Messns
James and Jones of Kansas City, Mo., who were title holders respec-
tively in Singles and Doubles of the Championship of the Missouri
Valley. The managers of the club had made complete arrangements
for the comfort of the visitors and a luncheon was served to the visitors
without charge every day. As the club had sixteen fine day courts
it was impossible to play off the tournament in record time. The dub
managers were given many compliments for the excellence of the arrange-
ments. In the Singles Mr. Vernon met and defeated all of the best
players and easily won the Final match from Mr. James, of Kansas
City. The Challenge round was a hard battle but the fifth set was
won by Mr. Ralph McKittrick the title holder in 6-2. In the Doubles
there was a complete surprise in the magm'ficent playing of Byron Ander-
son and W. C. Connett of the St. liouis A. A. Assn, who made a dean
sweep of all their opponents, defeating Messrs James and Jones in five
hard sets and also meeting and defeating the strongest teams entered
and finally winning from the title, holders, Messrs Ralph MeKittrick
and Jos. Wear, by defeating them three out of five sets.

IOWA.

The Iowa State tennis tournament for the year 1906 was played
on the new courts of the Hyperion Club in Pes Moines, which
in spite of their recent construction proved so satisfactory that the tour-
nament is to be permanently located in Des Moines and upon these
courts.

rhey are upon high hilis, west of the city and so situated tiiat after
two thorough soakings, late in the afternobn, on two afternoons of the
tournament, they were ready for play at nine o'clock ne> t morning.

The feature of the weeks play was that of Fred bradley, a little four-
teen year-old player of Des Moines. He k^pt in the play all the time
until he found semi-finalists, and gives promi^ of being one of the great-
est players the state ever hia/d.

Hayes, the western college Champion proved his superiority over
the rest of the players of the state, by defeatii^g W. S. Gillman easily
in the Challenge Singles and i)laying a great ^am\e through the Loubles,
where he and Alex. Blatherwick were the wmnets.

MONTANA.

For the first time in the history of the game in this state, the weather
seriously interfered with the progress of the tournament which
was held in Anaconda beginning August 21 and made it necessary to
carry it over into the following week. Not passing showers, but a steady
downpour, lasting three days, played havoc with the courts which had
been put in such fine shape in anticipation of the meet.

With no cessation of the rain in sight, it was proposed that some 'of
the matches be played off in Butte, thirty miles away, so the whole
aggregation would depart fol* that city, play a few games in the cold
and return to Anaconda that evening where some social event had
been arranged.

The hospitality of the Aiiacbnda Club and the famous Montana
Hotel made the time pass most enjoyably despite the elements.

StATB TotniNAlfEINTO 227

A reception, a smoker, a trip through the Washoe smelter and the
tennis ball given in the spacious hotel dining room were the features
of the week.

When the sun did come out and play resumed, the events were quidcly
disposed of under the efficient management of Mr. Hunter, and others
in charge.

To those who think that there is an age limit to tennis, it may be of
interest to note that the palm this year went to a man over fifty ^ears
old whose constant, careful practice brought him the reward he richly
deserved.

Matteson worked hard to retain possession of the beautiful Associa-
tion Cup but the placing and skillful lobbying and driving of McLaughlin
was too much for him and he secured only one set in the match.

Mudi regret was expressed when Agar was called home and could
not complete in ike Smgles. He retiuned, however, to play in the
Doubles, he and Wood defending the Championship successfully by
winning in three straight sets from McLAughhn and Burton. Wood's
accurate net work and Agar's generalship at the base Une make them
quite a formidable team.

Tipton won the Consolations.

State Totibnaiibntb 9lStO

Altiiough the entiy Usi was much laiger than erer hdote it cannot
be said that the play was of a hi ghly standard.

J. H. Wheeler. W. G. GravcsTE. Rees, L, H. Northrop, T. N. Jayne,
G. K. Bdden and H. I. Belden were the strongest candidates in the
Singles tournament, the matches between these men being dose and
at all times interesting.

H. I. Belden won ms way to the Finals alter two closely contested
matches with Jayne and Bees, and there met G. K. Belden who had
defeated Northrop and Ardier. The Final matdi was won easily by
H. I. Belden. Score, 6-4, 6-4, 6^.

In the Championship round H. L Belden, ChaUenger, defeated W.
C. Burton, holder, after a five-set match, which as a contest was ad-
mirable, but as an exhibition of high-grade tennis was not such as might
be expected of players of this class. Belden *s net play during the Gist
set was, however, extremely well executed, and his victory was deserved.
Score, 6-2, 9r6, 9-S, 6-4, 6-2.

The Doubles tournament resulted in the unexpected victory of Bur-
ton and Northrop, who, after defeating Jayne and Payne in the Semi-
Finals, won from the hitherto unbeaten Belden brothers, after an ex-
ceedingly dosely contested matdi. Score, 6-S, 1-6, 7-5, 6^.

OREQON.

Tennis in Oregon during the season of 1906 was ahnost entirely
dependent on home talent.

This was not altogether undesirable to the many placers who were
glad during 'the tournament week to test their strength in tournament
play amongst tiiemselves since in past years the Championship has in
nearly every case been carried to foreign parts.

The Men's Singles went to Walter A. Goss who wins it for the second
time. Gross went through the tournament without losing a set exciept
in the Final match which was against D. S. Bellinger and this went
the five. Widcersham was supposed to be the one who would make
the strongest bid against Goss but in the Semi-Final round he was well
beaten in a lightmng match. Goss has never been beaten in tourna-
ment play by a Pomander and his experience and carefulness have
won for him many matches. Busch, the Champion for 1905, 'did not
defend hence the Orc«;on State Championship and the Fisk Challenge
cup were kept in PortEmd for the second time in its history.

In the Final match Bellinger played ihe game of his life. His drives
into the back of the court were superb and he seemed to hit the back
line at will. The score was, 1-6. 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4.

The Men's Doubles went to Wickersham and Bellinger together
with the J. Weseley-Ladd cups.

The Challenge round was between Goss and Lewis and Wickersham
and Bellinger. The score was never in doubt and the Champions
played with a snap and fight that continually put the former Champions
on the defensive.

Miss Amy L. Heitshu won the Ladies' Championship) and the Goss
and^ Lewis cup. Miss Hdtshu is in a class by herself in Oregon, her
service is most difficult and her drives very hard and fast.

The Mixed Doubles went to Mr. Wickersham and Miss Robertson
and the Ladies' Doubles to Miss Josephi and Miss Heitshu.

Portland has at last launched a first-class tennis club, and the stim-
ulus given to the game by the new organization is felt in every quarter.

The courts are located in Irvington and the building and grounds
are the most attractive and commodious on the Coast.

In the future the Oregon State Championship will doubtless be played
alternately between the Irvington Tennis Club and the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club.

Portland sent a strong delegation to Tacoma where the tourna-
ment of the North Pacific International Lawn Tennis Association,
was held and it is doubtful if tennis enthusiasm is at higher pitch or
if better players exist anywhere on the Coast.

NORTH DAKOTA.

The fifth annual tournament of the North Dakota State Tennis
Association was held at Grand Forks, during the week which be-
gan on Aug. 6. There were ten events. The total number of entries
was 210.

This tournament was interesting not only for the large entry list
but also for the new events started this year and the (Challenge cups
offered: (1) The Red River Valley Championship, Men's Singles,

234 State Toxtrnamenib

$500 trophy; (2) Women's Singles, (3) Women's Doubles and (4)
Mixed Doubles for valuable sterling silver trophies. Besides there
were also added The Championship of the Red River VaUey, Men's
Doubles, Men's Singles and Novice Event. The weather was perfect
Seven of the events were finished in four days. The Finals in the State
Singles and Handicap Doubles were played on Saturday morning.
The rapidity with which so many matches were finished was unusujl
The^ visitors were entertained every evening by numerous social events.

Eight men from Winnipeg entered, .^ong them was D. Davy,
one time Champion of Yorl^hire, England, and Champion of Mani-
toba, 1905 Mr. Summerville who reached the Finals in the open Singles

SOUTH DAKOTA.

The fourth annual tournament of the South Dakota Lawn Tennis
Association was held under the management of the Sioux Falls
Lawn Tennis Association at their courts in Sioux Falls on July 16-21,
1906. The attendance was very gratifying and the improvement in
play over that of former years was quite noticeable, particularly in the
Doubles contests, which furnished the best tennis of the tournament
and which were uniformly hard fought, the result being in doubt till
the finish Several of the new players showed up well and promise
to make the tournament of 1907 more than interesting for the older
heads. In the Singles, Teigen defeated Keith in five hard fought sets
for tournament honors but was unable to wrest the Championship
from the holder, Mr. Wheeler, who won easily, 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.

sets of Tournament honors, but were unable to overcome the State
Champions, Phillips and Dow, who won in five sets, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 0-6,

MISSOURI VALLEY.
Kansas City, Mo.

The seventh annual Missouri Valley tennis tournament was held
on the courts of the Kansas City Athletic Club at Kansas City,
July 30 to August 4 and was one of the most successful affairs of its
kind ever held in this section of the country. Representative players
from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska were present and the
competition was keen in both Singles and Doubles. For the third
successive time the honors went to the K. C. A. C. players, O. V.
Vernon winning the Singles and D. L. James and Herbert V. Jones
the Doubles, but only after the fiercest kind of play, Mr. Vernon all
but losing his laurels to F. E. Shelden of the K. C. A. C, who had
beaten him in a tournament the previous month for the City Champion-
ship. Unusually fine weather prevailed down to the day for the Finals
when a heavy rain lasting several days caused a suspension of play
for nearly a week. The opening rounds of the Singles brought out
a number of exciting matches, the meeting between W. S. Gilman,
the Sioux City expert and F. E. Shelden of the K. C. A. C, which was
won by the latter, being especially productive of some excellent tennis.

In the Doubles the contest narrowed down to Shelden and Vernon
of the K. C. A. C, and Hogg and Corbin, of Kansas University and
Sterling and Kuke of St. Joseph, Mo., vs. Semple and Montgomery
of the Triple A, St. Louis, before any particularly notable matches
resulted. The K. C. A. C. pair had an exciting match with the Kansas
men, finally winning, 11-9, 3-6, 6-2; while the Triple A experts won
an interesting match from the St. Joseph team by scores of 6-1, 8-6.

The Championship round between Shelden and Vernon, chsdlen^rs,
and James and Jones, holders, was a repetition of the two previous

WASHINGTON.

Frank T. Pa3nie, former Gulf States Champion, was the winner of
the Washington State Tennis Championship in Men's Singles
defeating Joe Tyler of Seattle in the Finals for the Carter Challenge
cup, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. His win was earned by his superior judgment
and steadiness, coupled with his speed and service, his deep court drives
being particualrly effective.

From the start Payne led with the first two games, IVler following
with a tie at 2-all. At this stage Payne took the net and by cross court
volleying took the set with comparative ease.

The second set went to Tyler at 6-4 all the games except one running
to deuce. The next two sets were closely contested, Payne still keep-
ing the lead however, and pulling out the match with the needed two
sets at 6-3, 6-3.

Payne, who is a late resident of Tacoma, was a complete revelation
and his strokes were marvels of ease and accuracy. Both players were
in perfect condition and a great crowd was i)resent to view tne Finals.

In the Doubles, Sam Russell and Joe Tyler won fairly easfly from
F. T. Payne and Albert Armstroi^ of Tacoma by a score of 6-4, 0-6,
6-3, 6-3. Armstrong was not in his best playing form during the latter
stage of the match.

The attendance oi the Misses £. Ryan and A. Ryan of California
was one of the chief features of the most successful tournament, the
two young girls carrying off honors both in 'singles and doubles. Miss
E. Ryan d^eating her dder sister, 7-6, 3-6, 6*8. (Both use the Sutton
style of play and are counted as the next best in California.) They won
the Douoles by defeating Miss V. Pooley and Miss Alice Bell of Vic-
toria B. C. 6-4, 6-3.

Mr. Harry Pooley of Victoria and Miss A. Ryan of California won
the first honors in the mixed event, from Mr. Douglas Hunter of Vic-
toria and Miss E. Ryan by a score of 7-5, 5-7, 8-6. This was one of tiie
mast interesting matches of the tournament.

The presence of so much visiting talent and the high-dass of play
drew an extraordinary attendance throughout the week.

Following the conclusion of the matches, the handsome trophies
were awarded by the President, Bernard Pelley, assisted by Mrs. Charles
H. Rollins of tne Ladies' Annex. Cheers were given for the visitors
and returned, and the season of 1906 in the Northwest brought to a
close.

MASSACHUSETTS DOUBLES TOURNAMENT.

The annual tournament for the State Championship of Massachusetts,
for Doubles was held on the grounds of the Brae-Bum Country
Club of West Newton during the week of June 1 and following days,
records for this event, which began years ago at Magnolia, were beaten.
The largest entry list in the history of any state were entered, 35 teams
(70 men) being drawn, and when play began only. one default was
registered.

Not only in the number of entries but in every other respect the
tournament was a record-breaker, and the brilliant gallery which sur-
rounded the perfect courts during the tournament had a surifeit of really
first-class Doubles.

Most of the teaaos were so closely matchfd as to make the matches
exdting from start to finish.

The feature of the tournameat's play was the marvelous steadiness
of Edgar Leonard and Irving Wright who won the tournament and
Championship by defeating F. J. Silloway and H. B. LAmed in the
Challenge round.

The Johnscm brothers were very steady in their own style, but their
strokes ladled the killing power of Leonard and Wr^t, with wham
they came in contact in tne Semi-Final round. Their play was dis-
tinctly unorthodox, but individually their playing was good.

LAWN TENNIS IN AND AROUND CHICAGO.

Western Championship and other Tournaments.
The revival in interest in tennis so noticeable in the Chicago district
during the Season of 1905 was again felt last year and many new clubs
entered the tennis field. Of these the most important addition was
the new River Forest Club, a suburban organization that figured strongly
in all the tennis activities during the year. The golf and country clubs
also adtnowledged the increased interest in tennis by building new courts
and scheduling tennis events with regularity. But perhaps the most pleas-
ing sign was found in the number of veterans that re-entered into active
play and the great enthsuiasm shown by the younger players of Chicago.
These latter players hailing from the schools and academies showed
such strong form that they seriously threatened to cwry away all the
titles of importance. It was the first year in the history of western
tennis that the youthful school-boy enthusiasts cut in seriously on the
older, seasoned experts and so weU did they play last season that it
would be no surprise to see them carry off all the premier honors in the
coming year. Of, this group Heath Byford stood far in front and in
the western ranking was given a rating just below the veteran western
triumvirate Collins, Emerson and Waidner. Byford*s work wbn for
him the three largest tournaments given in the Chicago district and
also enabled him to reach the Semi-Final round in the western event
where he made an enviable showing against Nat. Emerson. It is con-
fidently predicted by many of the western players, including Kreigh
Cdlins, mat Byford wiU have improved so mucn by this season that
he will take first honors in the western easily. Allen Ross, winner of
Hoe western interscholastic also showed up strongly throughout the

256 Stats TouBif amentb

year and his victory in the national interscbolastic event at Newport
was highly appreciated in the West, The game took a decided hold
upon the women athletes of Chicago and all the tomnam^its given
for them were well patronized. Many of the clubs boasted of women's
teams and the ittter-<^ub matches between them brought out much en-
thusiasm. A woman's tennis league was organized during the latter
part of September and a meeting will be called early in the Spring to
draft a schedule and effect a mpre permanent organization. In the
Men's Chicago Tennis League the games were better attended than
ever before and the competition while friendly was of the keenest sort.
The teams were closely matched and there was little to choose between
them. Of the club events the handicap tournaments and the progres-
sive Mixed Double events were the most popular althcm^h much interest
was also manifested in the various dub chamjpionship events. It is
thought that many new clubs will enter the tenms field during the com-
ing season and a big revival in ititerest is confidently expected.

The. Chicago Tennis League.

The third and most successful season of the Chicago Tennis licague
was terminated with the Final matches early in September. Great
interest was shown in these matches throughout the year and large
galleries were always present to cheer on the favorite club. The com-
petition for places on the club teams was of the keenest kind and as
much interest was shown in them as in the tournaments.. The matches
were started early in June and the schedule so arranged as to avoid
conflicts with the open tournaments. The most representative players
of each club competed on the teams and the quality of tennis brought
out was excellent. Six clubs took active part in the play the new River
Forest Tennis Club having entered early in the year. Each dub was
represented by six players in the Singles and three teams in the Doubles
and for the most part the matches were dose and hard fought. At the
close of the league schedule the teams representing the Aztec Tennis
Club and the Kenwood Country Club were tied for first ];dace each
having four isvins and one defeat to its credit. This necessitated the
playing of an extra match in which the Aztec team defeated Kenwood
seven piatches to 2. The victory of the Aztec was due primarily to its
well-balanced team, nearly all of the six men being of equal strength.

Third place went to the Wanderers' Cricket and Athletic Club whose
team >vas composed of several ex-champions of known ability. The

State Tcktknauimtb 859

new River Forest Club met with a setbadc during the seasoti in the
loss of their new clubhouse l^ fire. This loss seen^d to dampen their
interest but little, however, and with an indomitable courage which
was highly appreciated by the other clubs \hey played out their schedule
and bmlt a finer building than the aoe destroyed befc»e the season had
closed. The handsome Challenge cup has now been won by Kenwood
twice and by the Aztec once.

Open Tournament of The Wanderers' Cricket and Athletic Club.

The annual tournament of the Wanderer's Cricket and Athletic
Club was held on their spadous and well-appointed grounds at Park-
side, Chicago, the week of July 14 to 21.

The large entry (87 in all) necessitated the erection of seven additional
courts on the out-field of the Cricket grounds. The turf was in splendid
(condition and some fine play was witnessed. This tournament is
rapiidly becoming one of the most popular in the yfesi, owing to the
extensive accommodation, not only of the grounds, but also of Uie dub-
house, which in size and convenience is unequalled.

Woodlawn Club's South Side Championship Tournament.

The annual tournament of the Woodlawn Tennis Club of Chicago
for the South Side Championship was held on the club's courts during
the week of July 1. The entiy list was as laige as usual and the play
was close throughout. Principal interest in the event centered in the
work of Heath Byford, a young University of Chicago player, whose
ability was practically unknown. Byford had played in a few tourna-
ments during the season of 1905 but it was hardly thought that he was
a strong enough player to win such an important event. But this be-
lief was fbund to be wrong when the collegian ran through the tourna-
ment in easy style disposing of such veterans as Buell McKeever and
Edwin M. Ashcroft. The title which was held by Reuben G. Hunt
went to Byford by default who thus gained his first leg on a Champion-
ship trophy.

Western Interscholastic Touniament.

The second annual interscholastic tennis tournament for the Cham-
pionship of the West was held under the aus^Hces of the University of
Chicago on June 6 and following days. Nearly all the preparaUuy
schools of importance in the Chicago district were represented and the
quality of tennis was the best seen in a school event in years. Dis-
appointment was felt owing to the absence from the play of Lawrence
Stem, the title holder who was held favorite for first honors. The
title was finallv won by Allen Ross of Hyde Paiic High School who
defeated his scnoolmate F. A. Alexander in the Final £)und, 6-1, 6-2.
6-1. Alexander had previously defeated W. J. Sunderland of Hyde
Park in the Semi-Final round, 7-5, 6-2, which was a surprise for the
fans who had figured Suilderiand to win. In the Senu-Final Ross
defeated Kuh of University High School 6-2, 6-4. The improved form
of Ross was remarkable and ne showed well throughout the season.
His play at the net is his special good point and his service is also strong
although he suffered last year repeatedly from foot-faulting.

In the Finals in Doubles Kuh and Alexander, the University High —
Hyde Park team sprang a surprise by defeating Ross and Sundenand
after a hard fought match, 0-6, 6-1, 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.

WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THE nineteenth annual tournament for the Western Championship
was held aa usual on the tuif courts of the Kenwood Countiy Club
of Chicago on July 21 and following days. While there were fewer
men of Championship abiUty than usual in the play the event was
none the less interesting and the usual large galleries turned out each
day t6 watch the progress of the event. With the exception of two
bad days the weather was all that could have been wished for and the
events were run off smoothly. The tournament proved to be a dis-
tinctly western affair as no entries were received from the East or the
southern states. In the Men*s Singles it was early predicted that
the tournament would narrow down to a* fight between the rivals of
several successive westerners, Waidner, Em^son and Hunt. True to
this prophesy these men ran into the Semi-Finals together with Headi
Byford, the young University of Chicago player whose work in the
Dlinois tournament had created a sensation among the tennis frater-
nity. Waidner and Hunt had drawn into the uppei^half and sustained
little difficulty in reaching the Semi-Finals except for the dose call
Waidner had in the fourth round when he defeated the young inter-
scholastic Champion Allen Ross after the hardest kind of a three-setl
match. In the lower half Emerson had things much his own way as
far as the Semi-Finals as did Heath Byford, whose hardest foe had been
Walter T. Hayes, the Omaha player. In the Semi-Final round, how-
ever, the hardest matches ever seen in Chicago resulted in the meeting
of these men. The day was exceptionally hot and oppressive and
taxed the endurance of the contestants to the utmost, soth matches
were put on at the same time and finished within a few moments of
each other, which fact kept the galleiy busy trying to watch the play
in each. The Waidner-Hunt match proved to be one <rf their typical

262

Webtbrn Chamfioni^hifs d68

five-aet enduianoe contests with the difference that unlike their former
meetings Hunt succeeded in capturing the first two sets. Both men
appeared to be ^yin£ at top form and -the short chop>strokes of the
Ouifomian womed naidner perceptibly. After the second set Waid-
ner b^gan hitting the ball haraer and playing much more aggressively
and soon had Hunt on the defensiye with the result that he captured
three straight sets and the match, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2.

The other match between Nat. £merson and Heath Byford proved
the real surprise of the tournament as Byford started in at a terrible
pace and seemed to have almost perfect control oi his strokes. Such
a fast game did the youthful collegian put up that Emerson was com-
pletely oaffled and utterly unable to play his game. The best two sets
went to Byford quickly 6-2 and 6-2 but at this stage Emerson braced
and took the net at every opportunity and soon had Byford tired out.
The next three sets he took after a hard fight 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 and with
them the match.

As a result of these matches Waidner and Emerson were left to meet
in the Finals where a haid-f ought match was confidently exp)ected.
But in this the gallery was disappointed as Emerson scored a win in
surprisingly easy fashion taking tnree straight sets from his old rival.
Wiudner seemed to have suff^ed lus usuu western slump and at no
time during the match played the ^^aine of which he is capable. On
the other hand Emerson played brilliantly, his work at the net being
faultless.

In the Challenge round the veteran title holder ,Kre]gh Collins, again
showed his superiority on the Kenwood courts by defeating Emerson
with comparative ease, 6-2, 6-4, 4-6 and 6-2 gaining by this match per-
manent possession of his second western trophy. Collins has now
won the western eight times and is thinking seriously of dropping out
of active tournament play this year.

In the Men's Doubles the two teams Collins and Hunt and Waidner
and Emerson outclassed every other pair in the tournament and had
no diflBculty at all in reaching the Finals. They appeared to be equally
matched and the long haro-fought five-set matcn that resulted from
their meeting was no surprise to the tennis enthusiasts. Collins, how-
ever, seemed to be off form and played poorly during the greater part
of the match. Emerson and Waidner played well together while the
work of Hunt was an agreeable surprise to the gallery. The first set
went to Waidner and Emerson easily 6-4 but the second was a complete

^64 Western Championships

reversal and was captured by Collins and Hunt 6-0. The thiid and
fourth (were repetitions of the first two sets and the fiflh and final set
was close and weU-played throughout Emerson and Waidner finally
taking it 6-4. The injury to Emerson's knee which he suffered during
the Northwestern tournament and which necessitated the forfeiting
of their right to meet the winners of the Lon^ood event at Newport
was a keen disaimointment to their western friends who were anxious
to have their skill tested with Hackett and Alexander.

The women's western brought out a strong entry list and resulted
in an interesting tournament although the absence of Miss Edythe
Parker and the lack of practice of Miss Carrie Neely were much re-
gretted. The entry list was more thoroughly representative of the
western states than ever before and this fact .lent a special interest to
the event. Miss Miriam Stcever, the Illinois champion, again showed
her class by running through to the Finals with little opposition. Here
she again met Mrs. R. B. Neff who had defeated Miss Neely after a
hard match in the Semi-Final round. The meeting of Mrs. Neff and
Miss Steever created much enthusiasm owing to their previous meeting
in the lUinois tournament and the sympathy of the gallery was about
equally divided. In this match, however, Mrs. Neff playing her best
game reversed the decision in the Illinois event and d^eated her more
youthful opponent after three hard sets, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2.

The Women's Doubles event captured by Miss Neely and Mrs.
Neff who defeated Misses Parker and Steever in the Final round in
unexpectedly ea^ style, 6-0, 6-3. The Mixed Doubles went to Mrs.
Neff and Mr. Iiunt who scored a win in the Final round over Mrs.
Barnes and Mr. Hayes.

very good tennis as the scores of the tournaments mentioned below

at Miss D. JC, Douglass who played much stronger tennis than the year
before and won the honor of Lady Champion of the British Isles by
steady and excellent all-around tennis.

CALIFORNIA LAWN TENNIS

Pacific Coast Championship.

THE nineteenth annual Champio:iship tennis tournament of the
Pacific States was held on the courts of Hotel llafael at San Rafael
from Sept. 1 to Se})t. 10 consisting of Men's Singles, Men's Doubles^
"Women's Singles, Women's Doubles, Mixed Doubles and for the first
time Junior Singles. The suqirises of the tournament were the de-
feats of A. E. Bell and Charles Foley by the 16 year-old Melville Long
who won the Championship by easily defeating (jeo. Janes in the Chal-
lenge match. Long also won the junior Championship. The North-
ern men and women captured all of the prizes and for the first time
the Southerners returned without their usual load of trophies.

Miss May Sutton lost the Chainpionship to Miss Hazel Hotchkiss,
by default who had defeiited Miss DobbiiLs in the Fmals.

In the Finals between M. Ixjng vs. Geo. Janes it was a very one-
sided match. Long assumed the net i)osition at all times and out-
classed his opponent. Long's style is very similar to Clothier's and
as he has a tremendous reach cannot be jwissed.

The Men's Doubles was won by Charles Foley and Fred Adams
of the Golden Gate Tennis Club by defeating Bell and Bundy in the
Finals and winning the Challenge match by the default of H. Braley
and S. Sinsabaugh. Melville Long won the Junior Championship
by defeating Batkin in the Final match.

In the Women's Singles Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Berkeley had
the distinction of being the first player outside of the Sutton family to
defeat a Sutton in tournament play in some years. In the Semi-Final
round of the Women's Coast* Championship tournament she disposed
of Mrs. Bruce, who was Miss Ethel Sutton, by the score of 9-7, 6-1

269

270 Califobnia Lawn Tennb

In the Finals for the Coast Championship Mis. Hotchkiss defeated
Miss Gabriel Dobbins of Southern CaJifomia by good and steady tennis,
score 6-2, 6-3.

The Women's Doubles was. won by Miss Ethel Ratdiffe and Miss
Hazel Hotchkiss defeating the southern team Mrs. (Sutton) Bruce
and Miss Dobbins.

The Mixed Doubles was won by Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and Chas.
Foley who defeated the other northern team Miss Grolda Myer and Geo.
Janes in the Finals.

A remarkable fact was the winning of all the Championships this
year by Park players. Tennis was only introduced in the Golden Gate
Park in 1899 tnrough a suggestion from Mr. Greorge Wright who visited
here that year with Whitman, Beds Wright, Ward and Davis.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

The courts of the Ocean Park Countiy Club, Los Angeles, were
again the scene of the annual Championship of the Southern
California Lawn Tennis Association, this being the twenty-second
consecutiye tournament held under its auspices, a record unequalled^
we> believe, in the West, and when we recall that American Lawn Tennis
only retains records of the game since 1885, we can claim some little
credit tor promoting the game in America.

This year's play drew forth the largest field entries that the Associa-
tion has ever handled with 114 matches and a field of 44 in the Gentie-
men's Singles alone, but thanks to the excellence of the arrangements
of the secretary, the play was concluded according to schedule and
eveiy event completed even to the Consolations.

Again were we favored with a visit from several of the best known
experts from the North, Messrs Foley, Adams, Gardner and Crawford
of San Francisco, flaying in practically all the events, but they were
obliged to lower their colors to the Southern players, none of the quartet
being able to reach the Semi-final round. Their revenge came the
following month, however, when the Southerners were routed horse,
foot and dragoons at San Rafael in the Coast Championship.

276 California Lawn Tennis

This year's honors in Gentlemen's Singles go to Harold Braley,
who defeated among others Sinsabaugh, Bell and Browne, and took
the premier place, winning the Championship by default from Eugene
Overton who was unable to defend his title owing to being engaged
in a yacht race to Honolulu, Braley has greatly improved and now
shows an even steadiness, which added to his powerful physique makes
him a dangerous opponent.

The Gentlemen's Doubles were won by Sinsabaugh and Browne
who have joined forces, and the briUiant net play of Sinsabaugh, when
aided by the accurate base line dri\ing and consistent lobbying of Browne
proved the undoing of their opponents and after defeating Braly and
Hart — a Herculean pair — for the right to play for the cups, they over-
came Bell and Way, the 1905 Champions in straight sets.

In the Ladies' Singles the chroniclers have for many years had to
write the Final match, Sutton verses Sutton, and this year was no excep-
tion, Miss Florence playing her elder sister, Mrs. Ethel Sutton Bruce
for the cup. Mrs. Bruce was not to be denied this year, however,
and annexed the prizes and honors after playing the best tennis she
has ever shown. That the standard of play of the ladies in Southern
California is \ery high is evidenced by the fact that Miss Florence
Sutton playing in the Tri-State tournament at Cincinnati this year
won the event losing no more than two games to any opponent and
forcing her famous sister May to play a deuce set in the Challenge
match.

The Mixed Double event fell to Miss Seymour and Bell, the Ladies'
Doubles to Mrs. Bruce and Miss Dobbins while the Rogers brothers,
two most promising young players, had a battle royal for the Junior
Singles, H. Rogers winning.

the next evening a dance at the Foothills Hotel and the final evening
there was a reception with dancing at the Thacher School.

MISS LOIS WILEQE MOYES.

LAWN TENNIS IN CANADA.

THE CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

THE annual tournament was held as usual on the courts of the
Queens lioyal, Niagara-on-the-Lake, during the week of July
9. The old-time enthusiasm was again displayed with many new faces
among the entries. Ideal weather favored the tournament and it was
a great success from every standpoint. The hospitality of Mr. M axon,
the new manager of the Queens, did a great deal toward the social
success of the week which has made Old Niagara so famous with the
lovers of lawn tennis.

Irving Wright easily worked his way through the upper half of the
Open Singles and met E. P. Fischer, who was playing in grand form,
in the Final the latter having beaten Bums of Toronto in a close three-
set naatch in the Semi-Final. Wright succeeded in defeating Fischer
thus capturing the Championship.

The Mens' Doubles furnished -some very keenly contested matches.
Fischer and Carroll had a great struggle with Heggio and Field and
finally won, but Wright and Kirkover won from the former pair in a
three-set match thus putting them , in the Final against Burns and
Glassco, the Canadian pair who made a great combmatiou, their team
play being responsible for their victory which \<^as very popular with
the crowd because it is the first Canadian teana to win the Champion-
ship in ten years.

Miss Moyes, Toronto, succeeded in wresting the Canadian Cham-
pionship from Miss Summerhayes after a very fine exhibition. Miss
Moyes gives promise of playing a much stronger game after more ex-
perience in tournaments. ■

Ralph Bums, Toronto, succeeded in landing tlie handicap after
many very hard contests. He defeated H. D. Kirkover, Buft'alo, in
the Final, owing liim half a point.

THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The twenty-second annual tournament was held on the regular date,
Aug. 28 at the Queens Royal with a splendid entry list of evenly matdied
players which made everyone strive to win and from the unusual in-

Canadian Lawn TiaiNiB 287

terest exhibited by the spectators the toumament was ootainly a fpreai
success. The rivahy gi^ew as the tournament progressed, the fnends
of the players lining the banks in large numbers, showing great interest
in the success of their favorites.

The tennis tournaments at Niagara are a signal for a good time and
evoryone starts in and no time is kst.

In the Open Singles, Johnson ^Boston) succeeded in disposing of
such players as Dewhurst (U. of P.), Boys, ^Barrie) and others, then
in the Final he met Bums (Toronto) who gave nim the hardest stru«rle,
in fact it was nip and tuck all along. Bums several times looked like
the winner but was somewhat irregular, while Johnson was very steady
at all stages. Johnson's condition after this match was such as to pre-
vent him challenging Irving Wright, the holder, therefore the latter
retained the cup by default.

Wild excitement prevailed when the Doubles commenced. Bums
and Glassco in the Canadian Double Championship very nearly repeated
their July performance. They met Wright and Johnson in the Semi-
Final and after winning the first set showing a lead in the second, they
slackened, and thereby lost their chance. Had they met Wright and
Johnson in the Final it is quite likely they would have won the Inter-
national Doubles also. However, Wrijght and Johnson were the success-
ful pair and went into the Final against Dewhurst and Kirkover, and
although Johnson was feeling the effects of his Singles against Bums,
he played a steady game while Wright was brilliant throughout, and
they succeeded in disposing of Dewhurst and Kirkover in three straight
sets, the result being somewhat of a surprise to some.

In the Handicap some young players developed, namely Don Carroll
(Buffalo) and McEachren (Toronto) both give promise of much im-
provement. W. A. Boys (Barrie) won many matches as did Kirkover
(Buffalo). The two latter met in the Final and a battle royal was on
they having met in the opens in which Boys was successful but in this
event he owed Kirkover half fifteen and was unable to win against
the latter *s persistent and steady game.

THE ONTARIO CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

The Ontario Championship tennis tournament held tbe first week
in September on tlie courts of the Toronto Teimis Club was one of the
best ever held, both in number of entries and qualify of play. After
two years of tennis indifference Mr. Glaiisco again threw his heart in-
to the game and played in his old-time form winning his way through
the tournament both in Singles and Doubles in splendid style. He
succeeded in defeating Mr. Baird, tlie one-time Scottish Champion
after five stubbornly contested sets. The strain of the week's work
was very trying and he lost the Challenge round to Mr. Burns who was
fresh, but^only after five long sets.

NOVA SCOTIA LAWN TENNIS ASSOCIATION TOURNAMENT, 1906

The sixth annual tournament of the Nova Scotia Lawn Tennis
Association was held at Amherst, N. S., on Aug. 6-10.

The association was very fortunate in having fine weather and the
games were finished on scheduled time.

The various events were unusually well contested especially in the
Ladies* Doubles and also in Mixed Doubles, and the prizes were better
distributed among the several clubs taking part in the tournament,
thati in former years.

The people of Amherst with their well-known hospitality entertained
the players and visitors in a very enjoyable manner, a delightful
outing being on automobile drive to Tignish on the shores of the North-
umberland Strait, a charming spot with the sununer residences of the
Amherst people.

There were 1£9 entries with about 60 players.

• The following ladies and gentlemen were the winners of the different
events:

Ladies' Singles.

Mrs. F. T. Handsombody, first. Wanderers. Miss E. Anderson,
second. South End.

Doubles.

Misses Eraser and Grahame, first. New Glasgow. Misses Blair

After this tournament was over as many of our winners^ and runners-
up as could go went to Rothesay, N. B., to play their winners for the
championships of the Maritime Provinces, which is now intended
to be an annual affair.

CHAMPIONSHIPS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The annual open tournament of the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club
was held on the dubs courts during the week commencing July 30.
Report had it that several of our American friends were coHiing from
across the line to endeavor to carry away some of the prizes emble-
matic of the Championships of British Coliunbia and in this we were
not disappointed, Seattle sending worthy representatives in the per-
sons of Joe Tyler, last year's Washington State Champion and Cham-
pion of tile Maiiiland of B. C. Heath, Moore, W. H. Lewis, Miss
Bertha Hill. Vancouver sent Miss King and Miss Hobson and Rev.
S. Ryall was present from far away Manitoba. These and others helped
to make the tournament of 1006 a far greater success than it had adbieved
for some years and to place this popular game on a very film f ootii^

Canajxian Lawn Tknnib 205

The Misses Ryan of California, two of the dereiest pkyen Victorians
have ever had the pleasure of watching, were present, too, and ddighted
everyone with their masterful performances. The dub was again
extremely fortunate in having lovely weather throughout the week
and large crowds watched the play from day to day.

In the Men's Singles B. C. Sdiwengers of Victoria and Joe T^ler
of Seattle fought theur way through the different rounds and met ^h
other ^ in the Finals. A. T. Goward was one of Schwenger*s victims
he being beaten in an extremely hard, though only two set match by a
score of 8-6, 8-6. Tyler finally won out though not until five sets had
been plaved, Schwengers at one time leading by two sets to one, thus
for me nrst time in many years, in fact ever since the organization of
the dub twenty years ago, the beautiful cup representing the Cham-
poonship and bearing the names of such well-known players as J. F.
Foulkes, R. B. Powell, A. T. Goward and others has left for other
climes.

In the Ladies' Singles Miss A. Ryan won the Championship deteat*
ing her sister in the Semi-Finals and winning the Finals agamst Miss
M. Pitts of Victoria, last years runner-up.

The Ladies' Doubles was won by the Misses Ryan who defeated
Miss A. Bell and Miss P. Pooley in the Finals.

Probably it was in the Mixed Doubles that most interest centered
there being more entries for this than for any other event. Joe Tyl^f
of Seattle and Miss Alice Bell of Victoria proved to be the strongest
pair and they had pitted against them in the Finals Miss M. Pitts and
A. T. Goward of Victoria the latter pair having defeated in the Semi-
Finals Miss £. Rvan and J. D. Hunter. Tyler and Miss Bell won the
Finals rather easily.

In the Men's Doubles B. P. Schwengers and F. A. Macrae won the
Championship winning from A. T. Goward and Joe lyier in the Finals
by tiuee sets to one. It was the Semi-Final round of mis event though
which produced probably the best Double match seen on the local
courts, when Schwengers and Macrae were pitted against last year's
Chami»on team, R. H. Pooley and J. A. Ritliet. This ^ame took all
afternoon and though Pooley and Bithet reauired one point to win the
match seven times Schwengers and Macrae nnally pulled it off. Score,
8^, «^, 10-8.

Miss E. Ryan and F. B. Pemberton won the club handicap mixed.
Major Williams won the Men's Handicap Singles and Miss P. Pooley
and Miss E. Ryan won the Ladies' Handicap Doubles.

296 Canai^ian Lawn Tennis

The visitors were entertained during their stay to a beach and launch
party which proved a most deUghtful affair and many other little enter-
tainments were given in their honor during the week.

The prizes were presented on Saturday afternoon at the conclusion
of the day's play by Mrs. James Dunsmuir, wife of the lieutenant-
governor of British Columbia and thus a most enjoyable week was
all too soon brought to a close.

THE MAINLAND OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The annual Open and Handicap tournament of the Vancouver Lawn
Tennis Club took place on the club's grounds the week commencing
Aug. 13. With the exception of one day early in the week the weather
was all that could be desired and the seven grass courts never looked
better. A large amount of interest is always taken in this tournament
which was evidenced by the number of entries which, in the two events,
aggregated over two hundred and fifty, some fifty in excess of the pre-
vious year. On the final day between five and six hundred spectators
witnessed the matches. The following were the results of the Finals
in the open events:

NATIONAL INDOOR LAWN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS
OF THE UNITED STATES.

'T^HE eighth annual indoor lawn tennis Championships of the United
* States held by the Seventh Regiment Tennis Club in the 7th Regi-
ment Annory, 66th St. and Park Ave., New York City, Feb. 18 to 23
was by far the most successful held since its inauguration in 1900, not only
on account of the large entry lists, but the standards and quality of
play were of the best. The fashionable and distinguished gathering
that thronged the courts each afternoon and morning were a fitting
testimony and tribute to the untiring efforts of the committee, W. B.
Cragin, Jr., chairman and referee King Smith and E. P. Grosvenor
to make the tournament a success.

With an entry list of forty in Singles, sixteen more than ever before,
sixteen teams in Doubles, two in excess of the previous record, and
eleven entries in Women's Singles, an additional event added for the
first time to annual indoor Championships. There were an unusual
number of defaults owing to the fact that the committee notified con-
testants that if not on hand when match was called, they would be de-
faulted, but this was only another proof of how promptly, correctly
and without a hitch this large list was narrowed down, so that
the Final match was decided within the week, an occurrence unusual,
as in former years with twenty-five entries or less, it had gone into
the next week. The playing of Theodore Roosevelt Pell in the Singles
showM to the onlookers, of whom many were ranked players outdoors,
that the heretofore opinion that the wonderful serving of W. C. Grant
the three times Champion could not be overcome, had exploded; as
in the Final Challenge round Pell at times drove the terrific service
of Grant back across the net like a rifle shot, and in two of the five-
sets Grant won but a single service. At times when Pell weakened.
Grant showed to good advantage, but Pell was the more brilliant in
his play, and his cross court shots were marvelous. In the first set
Grant outplayed Pell chiefly because of Pell's nervousness, but in the

297

£98 National Indoor Lawn Tennis

geoond set the case was reversed and in the third set Pell had every IliiDg
his own way, oiJy to pitifully weakeji in the fourth set, when he won
but one game. The fact that he had broken a few strings in his ndcet
seemed to upset him. In the last set, however, with another racket,
he fairly swamped Grant, and his back-hand driving was much ap-
plauded by the assemblage, which was large. Pell finally won S-6, 6-S,
6-2, l-«, 6-0.

In the Doubles Hackett and Alexander duplicated thdr feat of last
year, that of winning the Championship without losinj^ a set, and lius
year with only two deuce sets. One 9-7 they won m>m T. R. Pell
and E. F. Fischer after Pell and Fischer twice when the score was 7-6
in their favor, came within a point of the set. The other set was 7-^
which they won from Grant and Westfall after the latter had led at
8-1.

The Women's Singles was the extra feature and was a great success,
the former outdoor Champion, Miss Elizabeth Moore, winning from
Miss Marie Wagner in the Finals in a three-set match.

IjlwnITbnnib Notes 807

The Canadian Lawn Tennis Association has decided to hold the
Canadian Championships in conjunction with the International Cham-
pionships duong the week of August 26th. This will do away with
the holding of two tournaments thus facilitating matters and assuiing
a real good entiy list for the one tournament. ^ has also been decided
to have the Canadian Championship for Canadian players only, while
the International will be onen to all comers. An mter-cil^ match is
being arran^^ between Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse
players. Tms event will take place July 3 and following days instead
of the Canadian Chamfuonsfaips at the Queen's Royal Hotel.

For the Indoor National Lawn Tennis^ Championship there was put
up for competition a valuable sterling Silver Cup, emolematic of the
Natoinal Championship of the United States in Men's Singles to be
known as the *'7th Regiment Cup." The cup to be won tmee times,
not necessarily in succession, ana the holder of the cup is reauired to
play through the tournament each year. It was won for the nrst time
by Theodore R. Pell.

The annual Middle West tournament played on the courts of the
Omaha Fidd Club is one of the events West during tiie lawn tennis
season. The entry list is always a laige one bringing together the best
players in that section of the countnr; which results in many well-played
matches both in Singles and Doubles particularly^ in the Fina^ and
Championship when ue strongest players meet wmch causes a general
interest and brings to the dub courts large crowds to witness the con-
tests who show a great interest in the events.

During the weSn of the tournament the connnittee in charge do
everything to make it pleasant for the visiting players with dinner {Mirties,
and automobile rides, ending up the weeks' pleasures with presentation
of prizes, a banquet and dance.

The lawn teimis players of the Coast showed true sporting blood
and a love for the game to get together after the ^eat calamity that
overtook their city (San Francisco^ and hold their Pacific Coast and
State Championships. Grood results will come from such good work.
The Coast has many promising young players, both the tournaments
mentioned being won by players under twenty.

HOI TO MAKE A UWM TENNIS COURT

In making a Lawn Tennis Court there should be,
if possible, a clear margin of a least 12 feet on each
side and 21 feet at each end of the court, or, between
adjacent courts, 18 feet on each side ; but should the
courts be placed end to end, or end to side, there
should be spaces of 42 feet or 33 feet respectlyely,
and a back-net at least 8 feet high between.

The cheapest and most easy court to make is a

CLAY COURT.

It is done by removing the sward from the lawn,
taking care that the same is cut deep enough not to
allow any of the grass roots to remain ; there should
be a space dug ou^ 40 foot wide by 82 in length and
from 6 to 10 inches deep to be filled with an equal
number of loads of clay and sifted sand mixed until
they bind. Roll well with a hand roller, sprinkling
water oyer the surface during the rolling. A good
wetting down to last over night is beneficial to a
clay court. Use great care to get out all stones to the
size of a pea.

GRASS COURTS.

These can be made in three ways : namely, first, by
improving an existing stretch of turf until it is level
and smooth enough ; second, by leveling the groond,
908

HOW TO MAKE A LAWH TENNIS COURT. 809

preparing the soil, and sowing grass seeds ; and third,
by laying fresh turf. Of these the former is of course
the simplest ; bat as the requisite piece of grass land
is rarely available, particulars for preparing it are
seldom required. In improving such a piece of turf
care should be taken to remove all weeds or coarse
grasses, and to freely use the spirit-level. To raise
hollow places the turf should be cut out, lifted, and
fine soil placed underneath until the proper height
has been obtained, when the turf should be replaced
and well beaten down with the fiat side of a spade.
On the other hand, small mounds should be removed
by taking the soil away from under the grass, some
fine mould being placed underneath the turf before
it is replaced. To prepare a court for sowing seeds
the same instructions may be followed as for making
a turf-laid one, except that the seed will be sown
instead of the turfs laid. Take care that the seed is
good by purchasing from a first-class seedsman, and,
when ordering, it will be well to state what sort of
soil is to be sown. By far the larger number of
courts are made by laying fresh turfs.

When preparing the ground for a court, it is de-
sired to level a portion measuring 100 x 60 feet,
which allows an ample margin ; but for the playing
portion itself only 78 x 36 feet is necessary. If
economy must be strictly considered only the latter
need be carefully prepared, but it is better to hav«
the whole done if possible.

HOW TO MARK OUT A COURT

As a doable ooart practicsuly indudes eveiy Hoe to
be found In a single court, it is best to take first the
measure for the latter. Having determined the posi-
tion of your net, plant in the ground, in the line
chosen, two p^;s, 27 feet apart (at the points A and
B in the diagram). Then take two measures and
attach their respective ends to the pegs A and B. On
the first, which will measure the diagonal of the coortt
take a length of 47 ft. 5 in. ; on the other 39 ft. ; pufl
both taut in such direcdons that at these distances
they meet in a point C. Thb will give one comer of
the court. At that point F, 21 feet from B» put in a
310

How TO Mark Out a Court

peg to mark the end of die servioe-lliie. The othei
corner, D, and the other end of the service-line G»
may be found by interchanging the measures and re>
peating the process. The same measurements on the
other side of the net will comj^ete the exterior bound-
aries of the court. By prolonging the base-line 4 ft
6 in. in each dvection, and joining the four new points
thus obtained, we can make the side-lines of a double
court. It only remains to mark the central line. This
b done by joining the middle points of the service-
lines. If a double court alone be required, the inte-
rior side-lines need not be prolonged to meet the base*
^es. Remember that in all cases the net-posts must
stand at a distance of three feet from the side-Hues.

in singles and doubles. The Ward &
Wright Racket has been modeled on.
lines for the most modem style of play,
and the phenomenal success of the
racket during the past two seasons is
more than gratifying.

Scientifically, the Ward ft Wright is
the strongest racket made. It will
stand restringing better than any other
style racket. The firame is made of
specially selected ash. The gut used
in stringing is the best imported/
noted for its.life and driving qualitiea

The Ward & Wright Racket is made in two styles of stringing. Style A containing extra centre

strings, which has become very popular with a great many players, especially ground stroke players,

and style B strung the old style, without the extra centre strings, which gives a little more spring;

and consequently better for volleying.

'TEE PIU RACKET, next to the Waxd & Wright, is reoog-
mied as the leading racket of the country. Nearly all
players of note, both men and women.haveused the Pirn, from
whkli th?y obtained remarkable results. The frame is made
of liv^vly ash, noted for its driving qualities, and is bound
with light but strong tape near the throat, which does not
interfere with the natural spring in the wood, to give it extra
strength, and is strung with the very best English gut of
etaddard siie by special artists in this line of work who have
gained their experience by many years of service in our
£Mtory. The Pim is made only in weights ranging from 18

lEe Davis Racket

f HIS RACKET is made similar to the Pim as regards the
length and width of frame, the difference being in the
dimensions of frame on either side of throat, which is made
larger by the addition , of an extra piece of wood glued firmly
to the frame to strengthen it at that point It was designed
especially for Mr. Dwight Davis, the well known tennis ex-
pert Its specific qualities are maximum strength at points
where all rackets are the weakest, fine balance and hard
driving power. Made only in weights ranging from IS^, 14,
llX and 15 ounces. Owing to its extremely fine balance, a
pSsyer can safely use it from one-half to three-quarters of an
ounce heavier than any other model
