gathered about the court and closely watched the
game. opinion was divided as to which would
prove the best man, but before many games were
played 1t was evident that Pope was playing a
very strong game. McCawley, 1t was conceded

De said without detracting in the least from the
merit OF Ropes play. Perhaps the latter's strong

player. McCawley, on the other hand, played q
very weak game. HIS service was indifferent, and

REVIEW OF THE TOURNAMENT
Just held Is highly satisfactory to those interested
In tennis. 1t has demonstrated that there are
number of men here who are skilled players. The
standard reach this year was higher than that OF
was done. IL Is evident that the representation In
the Association Tournament, which begins at
at Mount Washington, near Baltimore, June l3
VIII be one that will do credit to The tennis players
OF this city. Exactly who Will go has not yet been
determined. Mr. Pope said yesterday that he had
not decided whether he would enter the Baltimore
tournament or not. In case lie does IL is PROBABLE
that he and McCawley will play together. MesSrs.
stevens and Goodfellow will also PROBABLY play
together. MessrS Metcalf and Davidson will enter
In the doubtless and Messrs. SponOrd, W. b. Chill
ton. Brown, Bowen and Woodward Will endeavor
TO arrange for partners, and go into the doubles.
IL Is likely that most Of these gentlemen VIII also
play In the single contests.
Mr.. lie Moyne, who with MI. Bonsal, holds the
nrst prize for the doubles, attended the tourna-
ment here On Decoration Day. He says that he
and BoDsal will be ready to meet all corners In the
