THE WlNDUP OF ALL SCORES TOMORROW

The East End Gym tournament wound up
Yesterday afternoon, although there still re.
main to be decided the winners of the gen.
tlemen's consultations Three events,
however, were settled yesterday, the
ladies' singles, mixed-doubles and
| pentlemen's doubles, and there was in these
some lively and interesting bouts. The at
tendance was larger than on any of the
previous days and the spectators were gen.
erous with their applause. Each player
had host OF friends present and they were
careful to let no successful place of a ball
or brilliant stop, volley or smash, pass un-
rewarded by their approval.
The first event TO be finished was the
| mixed doubles In this Miss Voigt and Dr..
Proctor were to meet Miss Potter and Mr..
McClaran. More than ordinary interest
was attached to this match from the fact that
Miss Potter had been barred from the
ladies' singles, and she had shown during
the tourney that she was probably the best
lady player on the ground, if not in the
vicinity. Those who expected to zee some
good playing were not disappointed. Nc
Claran played with unusual vim, and it was
as much by his activity and his smashes as
by Miss Potter's steadiness and good judg-
ment that they won three straight sets
McC aran Ontplays HimselE
McGlsrsn had not played before during
the week nearly SO good game as he
played in this match, and Miss Potter was
at her best On the other hand, DR.. Proctor
did not play his game. Neither did
Miss Voigt Neither of them were
equal to the emergencies that constant
ly arose. They showed an unmistakable
lack of confidence in themselves at the
start, but they gained self-possession as the
games went on until, in the last of the Trio
of sets, it appeared as if they might make
the match little close. But they were too
far behind, and their opponents were play
ing too strong The consequence was that
they lost three sets straight and the match.
There were but three sets in the final
round of the ladies' singles, and Miss Voigt
won two of these and the first prize. Miss
Gill played rather an irregular game, some
times brilliant, and at other times it
seemed impossible for her to get the ball
over the net Miss Voigt, on the
other hand, played steadily and care
fully, and took the match. Miss Gill had
earlier In the afternoon match with Miss
Mitchell. in which each won set, but Miss
Mitchell, who had been playing strong
game, forfeited the match by reason of her
strength, which gave out. In the first set
between the two it looked very much as if
Miss Mitchell would win the match, but
Miss Gill braced up in the second set and
took il.
Barr and Barr q Winning Pair.
Messrs. Barr and Barr had their eyes on
the first prizes for the gentlemen's doubles,
and they won them from DR.. Proctor and
c. & Aull after three close sets had been
played. Two of these were clean sets and the
other "a, total of "a games being played
in the three. The Barrs play q very strong
game together, but they had no easy victory
in DR.. Proctor and Mr.. Aull Altogether
the match was one Of the most interesting
of the tourney. In the gentlemen's singles
Frank Barr will default to his brother, D.
81. Barr, in the finals, owing to his enforced
absence from the city.
