NERVE MADE HIM 4 CHAMPION
Percy Knapp Beat Hovey for the State
Prize at the Net.

FrlEo Mt the Mel.
SARATOGA. Aug. CIV. Percy Knapp OF New
York is the winner Of tho New York Slate
singles championship. To-day he defeated
F. H. Hovey OF Harvard. after u most exciting
lve-set match. thereby increasing his
probable chances as a Newport candidate
and adding to his reputation as a cool and
plucky expert. At one time single point
would have made Hovey winner. and he had
two opportunities to make the winning stroke.
But the Boston player seems fated to lose
matches after almost winning them. and he
eventually lost the last three sets to his nervy
and determined opponent.
The first set saw Hovey playing much better
ball than his opponent. tho formers net work
being OF brilliant character. He played his
strokes with SO much pace and accuracy, as to
won the set. o. On tho second set the play
Of the Harvard EXPERT was niue h more effect
i've. notwithstanding knapps steadiness.
Hovey again won by6-4. Hovey's lead of 81
on tn. third set was considered safe enough
for general purposes. and when he increased
his count to 4U-l5 on his own service every
thing seemed over but the shouting. But tho
much eeded single point Horey could not
get. and when knapp puckily took the set By
So the spectators app!autled.
Hovey was naturally discouraged after this
confident Knapp played more effectively on
the last two sets. W! ming the match aud the
