NOTES.
Wichita came to the front today with a
rush.
The next tournaments will be held at
Abilene and Topeka.
The Englishmen swere not Sin it" in
doubles, owing to the smooth Yankee
playing.
One of our home teams somewhat dis
tinguished themselves yesterday by throw
ing their first match in order to compete
for the consolation prize
Kelley and knight won the second
prizes in doubles and Moffat won the con-
ISOLATION prize in singles. which proves
that we have some promising players in
Wichita.
Owing to the fact that great many of
the players were compelled to leave last
evening most of the prizes were awarded
at the Carey last evening. Expressions
were heard on all sides in regard to the
splendid treatment while here and the un-
firing work of President Dean, of the
local club and the tournament committee,
who did so much to make it success and
a credit to Wichita.
