ing was the game between Belden and
Applegarth. although it was not so close.
Neither played in their best form, yet
both put up
A REMARKABLE GAME.
Applegarth plays very easily, yet he
plays very hard. 1t is a beautiful
game. He, too, uses the LOwfOrd
stroke, and very successfully, and he
covers vast deal of ground. Belden
plays a game peculiar to himself. He
uses his forearm almost altogether
with a backward stroke. He is very
successful. He strikes the ball with a
quick. jerky movement. Belden cap
tured the first set, the score being to 3.
Then Applegarth began to play, and
there was mighty struggle. Belden
finally winning the set by single
point, the scoring being to 5. The
spectators had an opportunity to see
George Rublee's game in his contest
with Hillary Murray. He plays very
fast and very hard. The balls shoot
just over the net, when he returns. as if
they came from cannon. He IS big
fellow-siX feet four incheS-and it is
almost impossible to get ball by him.
His greatest trouble is that he knocks
the balls out of the court. He very sell
feated Murray handily, the score being
ga, 60. Am ong the other players who
distinguished themselves in the singles
were Z. McCurdy, who holds the cham
pionship at Manchester college; W. w.
Wallace and E. n. Best. The last
named plays the prettiest game of all.
One of the prettiest contes of the day
was between Robinson, of Minneapolis,
and McClurg, of st. Paul. They are
evenly matched and both played beauti-
fully. Nearly every game was
A DEUCE GAME.
All of the preliminary singles except
three were finished yesterday.
Late in the afternoon the second
round of doubles was entered upon, but
the contests were not very interesting.
The players were not nearly so evenly
matched as they were in the prelimin-
aries. There was beautiful playing
displayed in the doubles. From the in
dicatiOnS Yesterday the finals will be
between Packenham and Belden and
Jayne and Best. The pairs have played
together and they understand how to
work to the best advantage. But it is
not certain but that Robinson and APP
plegarth will be in the finals. Had they
played together any it is pretty sure
that they would be. The most interest
ing double contest of tine day was be-
tween Murray and Best, of Minneapo-
lis, and George and w. A. Rublee, of
Milwaukee. The heavy ''smash" game
of the latter pair won the sets for them.
