YALE STILL IN IT.

Some Phenomenal Tennis playane by
 the Parker Rrothers-They Defeat
 the Crack Team rom CoIumbia-
 Campbell Defeats Ta1Iant = Some
 ssSmOoth Tennis.,,
 Some of the finest tennis playing ever seen in New Haven was afforded the sepc- tators yesterday out at the intercollegiate tournament. The play started of first in the morning with the match between Campbell and Tallant postponed from the day before, which was taken by the former, 7-9, GA, 6-1. Had Tallant been able to keep up the pace with which he started off the first set he might now consider himself the probable winner of the tourna- ment, but that was not to be. His strength did not last, for it is we'll known habit of Campbell's to work an opponent for all he is worth, and at the conclusion of the match the Harvard representative pre- sented striking contrast to the fresh, un- wearied appearance of Campbell
 As soon as this match was completed Hoyey and Rowland started in their turn, and by the formers winning, 6-2, 6-1, Yale lost her last chance for first place in the singles.
 FINE PLAYING IN DOUBLES.
 If Yale is not to have first place in sin gles her chances are not 80 very bad for taking the doubles, especially if the Parker brothers put up the same Kind of game that they did early yesterday afternoon against Campbell and McMullen, the men won the set, 7-5, 6-8, 6-3, and the playing was what one could not help calling in student parlance Smooth" ten his. The Parkers put up game that out stripped not only the most sanguine ex- pectations of their friends, but probably themselves. Individually they are not particularly strong players, but together they work like a machine. It had been feared that Columbia might have to lose the match by default, as McMullen was taken i'll few days previous and he showed some traces oi weakness yesterday. But neverthe- less he distinguished himself many time especially in the second set, by fierce drives and careful placing. He seemed to have most of the work to do, as the other side were careful not to return any more balls than were necessary in the vicinity of Campbell. The work done or both sides was of the sharpest kind . ano some phenomenal plays made. The net work of L. Parker and the skilful lobby ing of his brother from the back line wer, among the features.
 The Rowland brothers had little diff culty in defeating Larned and White o. Cornell, GA, 8-6. But they were not SC successful in the next match with Hovey and Tallant. This match was taken bl the Harvard men without much difficulty the score being GA, GA.
 | The attendance was larger than at any privious time, and occasionally the specta tors encroached too close upon the player, for their comfort. The playing to-day vii be the most exciting and interesting O any yet probably. Hovey and Campbell will contend for the championship, as it Ii considered sure thing that the latter vii defeat Chase of Harvard, and there will b. some interesting sets in doubles. Yale' chances for coming out aheat in the tournament are brighter thai was expected. It all depends upon wha the Parker brothers can do with Hovey ani Tallant of Harvard. They are apparentl, not so strong team as the one from Co lumbia, but still, it is an uncertain game Should Yale take the doubles, Columbi, the singles and Harvard the two seconds that would be a pretty even distributio, of honors and one that would probably re suit in Yale's keeping the cup anothe year.
