For the Championship OF America In
Doubles.
In direct contrast to last years championship
tournament. which was played principally on
muddy courts, beautiful weather favored the
double championship tournament OF the Lawn
Tennis Association Of America. which Is held
this year as 1t has been for the past two on
the grounds Of the Staten Island Cricket Club
Livingston, s. l. In anticipation Of some ex-
citing matches which we're sure to occur in the
first round, the grounds were well filled with
enthusiasts, and whom the first match was
called the courts were we'll surrounded. In
view Of the fact that all matches were
to be the best three in five SETS it was
decided to have but one round played each
day. and. consequently, OF the twelve teams
who are entered but eight played In tho first
round. The excitement commenced In the
first match played. and tho interest continued
undated throughout the afternoon. The
courts to the south Of the club house were the
ones used. and. as no courts could possibly be
more perfect, 1t Is needless to say they gave
perfect satisfaction.
Hall and Hobart began the tourney In their
match with Beach and Huntington. The
former team play net game entirely, and
mako the greater number OF their points by
volleying, while the latter team play at the net

seem to team we'll In the first SGT, and were
consequently beaten 81 In the second set.
they were capable oil. doing. and the SET went
to them. Ga. Thus far both teams had been
doing their best TO win. and now the exertion
was be2inni Ing to have Its effect on them.
and the play consequently became more
decisive. Hobart was now, serving In grand
style. while Hall was returning with great ac-
curacy everything that came within reach.
Beach and Huntington again and again en-
deavored to win by running to the net. but
we're as often driven to the base line where
at very great disadvantage, At last the last
game was at an end. and Hobart and Hall bad
won three sets to their opponents one Their
victory was well deserved as their opponents
In tho mean time Campbell and Huntington
had won their contest from BEACH and fowler.
