SANDS Is CHAMPION.
He Won this Title in the Middle States
Tennis Tourn tment.

Tennis Tourn tment.
Sands is the Middle States tennis cham.
pion. He defeated Richard stevens in
the fnnl round yesterday at the cricket
ground, Hoboken. Stevens was regarded
as the winner, and started in with the de-
termination of doing it. He succeeded in
winning the first two sets, and had Sc
cured a strong lead in the third. Several
times Stevens needed but one point to
win game, match and set, but try as hard
as he might Sands would manage TO get
the vital point. In the first two sets
Sands played well back in the court, but
in the third ran up to the net and volleyed
often and successfully. At this juncture
Stevens stomach went pack on him and
he was evidently distressed, but played a
plueEy game. He seemed exhausted Ia
the last TWO SETS, and Sands, who was
very strong and fresh, outplayed him.
BY winning yesterday Sands captures the
championship, as Howard Taylor will not
defend the title owing to illness. The fol-
lowing score shows how the match was
won and lost

was feared hat be had met with foul play
He was quite a popular young man. with a
good social and business record. An in
v~estigation, however, showed that Peter
was not all he seemed, and that some Of his
methods OF raising money were decidedly
questionable. His family endeavoned to
settle up his shortcomings. but their pro
portions grew so rapidly that the attempt
was abandoned in despair. His venerable
mother lies at the point OF death, owing TO
the shock causd by Peters misdeeds; a
