CAMPBELL STILL CHAMPION,
He Defeats Hovey for the United States
Tennis Titla at NaUnart


NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 3L-This was the last
day of the tennis tournament whose issue
should determine the championship for an
other year. A cool, brisk wind swept across
the court ana was the only thing to detract
from the most favora able-conditious for good
play The crowd was one of the largest ever
seen on the grounds, even on a champion
snlp Gay. Campbell opened play with the
service. On the first ball over Hovey made
pretty pass and scored. The next Campbell
drove into the net and then served two
faults, making the call 40love against him.
Here he braced and two good places and a
netted ball by Hovey made it deuce. Then
Hovey drove out OF court and Campbell
placed, and the latter took the first game.
He took the second also, and then Hovey
began to place and kept it up till he too he'd
scored twice, and the game was Pail, Camp
bell in the fourth making several weak re-
turn. Campbell took two more games, and
then Hovey two.
The play was so strong on both sides and
SO even that neither man could get much of
a lead over the other. With the score 4-all,
Hovey won the odd game, making three
straight. and it looked if he might take the
set, but Campbell took three games in sue
cession, making it ball, and then winning
the set, 7-5 Hovey driving the last ball into
the net.
The play in the second set was much of
the same order neither was showing so fast
q game as is usually expected of them and
the style of play was skillful and cautious
rather than dashing and brilliant. Hovey
won with a rush..
In the third set Campbell played well and
won, also capturing the fourth set and the
match. The scores were: IA, sc, 6-3. 10.

SEwIcKLEY, Aug. Sl.-SpeciaI 1.-The attend.
ance at the tournament to-day was larger
than on the opening day. There were hardly
seats enough to accommodate the crowd,
which was composed tor the most part OF
ladies, although there were several hundred
of the sterner sex present. The fact that
the doubles, which are to result in a cham
pionship game for Western Pennsylvania,
were to commence, had not a little to do
with the attractive powers of the
tournament. 1t was also anticipat ed
that there would be some good play
ing in the singles, and the onlook-
ers were not disappointed. Bansemer
had defeated Guthrie in the first round an d
was to meet Moorhead in the second round.
1t was not expected that Bansemer would
win from Moorhead, but that he did not
take game in the two sets PLAYED was sur
prising. though Moorhead played more like
himself than on the first day. This brought
Moornead and. Vail together in the semi
tennis and hard fighting. The two sets
lasted about an hour and a half and were
both fought to the end by Vail, who PLAYED
as strong a game as he has ever played.
Both sets were ''decee" sets. and q total of
26 games were played before the conclusion
was reached. As intimated in THE DISPATCH
yesterday Vail has improved since his va
cation and he showed it in his game yester-
day.
Christy took the second round from Tread
way rather easily but l. was somewhat of a
surprise when he succumbed to Coster
Coster had won the second round from Os-
burn, and played an even, strong game
placing his balls effectively and making sew
.eral very pretty drives Christy showed
the want of steadiness and broke down, TAX
ing but four games out OF the l6 in the two
sets.
The surprise of the day, though, was the
defeat of Ewing and Vail in the doubles by
Campbell and Arbuthnot, a defeat that is
hard to explain, for when the winners took
the first set, 60, and the losers won the Sec
ond, 60, it was fully expected that the third
would go the way of the second. But it
didn't. Pier and Edwards shut out their op-
ponents, Treadway and Parker, and will be
in the finals.
The finals in singles between Moorhead
and Coster will be played to-day. The draw
ings for consultations resulted as follows:
Pier versus Handy, Rirby versus McClin-
took, Guthrie versus Treadway. The score
for to-day's play was as follows:
sINGLEs-FIRsr ROUND.
Treadway beat Porter by default.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 3l.-Mr. Newsom. the
trainer of King Lee. the fleet two-year-old
belonging to the Pastime stable. says he re-
ceived bona fide offer of $4,000 for him to-
day by letter from n horse fanciar in the
East. He declined the offer and refuses to
give the name of the party that made it,.
However, it is known that Lorillard, T.
Dwyer and Marcus DAILY have each had an
eye on King Lee, and it is supposed the offer
came from one of them. King Lees mile in
1:425I last Saturday was the fastest mile ever
made by two-year-old at Latonia.

MADE a DRAW OF IT,
Costello and Greggains Fight SO Rounds
and the Polica Interfere


and the Police Interfere.
SAN Francisco, Aug. SL-Martin Costello,
better known as the Buffalo," and Alex.
Greg gains, the local middle-weight, met in
the ring last night. The long-talked of bat
tie ended unsatisfactory. Greggains fought
with much the best of it for so rounds. when
the police interfered and stopped the con-
test. Costello lodged almost all the time.
The affair was called n draw.
When seen in their dressing rooms Costello
and his seconds seemed satisfied with the
referees decision, but Greggains complained
because the decision was not given in his
favor he said he had done the most work.
His hands were uninjured and he acknowl-
edged having handled his right hand as if
disabled in order to draw Costello on. Many
of those who witnessed the contest expressed
opinions that the match was a very even one
and that while Greggains displayed more
ability Costello was apparently able to with
stand all the punishment Greggains could
deliver. Beyond few bruises the men bore
no traces OF their long battle.
