Campbell and Huntington Win the Cham
pionship From the Hall Brothers.
The great event of the day in the national
lawn tennis tournament at Newport, R L, yea
ter,iay was the match for the championship in
doubles between the Hall brothers, Valentine g..
and E. L., and Campbell and Huntington, last
years champions. The latter pair was called
upon to defend the title against the Halls. win
ners OF the eastern tournament. who won by de-
fault from Carver and Ryerson, the western
pair. Campbell and Huntington won. The
match opened with q decidedly Hall aspect -
that pair quickly took the first three games in
succession. Then they lost four straight The
score then went to four all, when the champions
went IN and pulled out the set. The second set
went along IN much the same way, the Halls
taking the first two games. This was all they
could do, however, and the champion pair won
six straight, carrying off the set The third
was different. the games alternating from one
side to the other with fair degree Of regularity,
enough of them, however, going to the credit Of
the Halls to give them the set, g.
In the fourth set the eastern pair, as usual,
took the first game and then lost four straight.
1t looked as ii the match was to end there, but
the Halls rallied and took two more games.
They could not avoid the inevitable and finally
yielded the set, the match and the hopes of win
ming the championship.
Inc Singles between Siocum and Larned was
not much of an exhibition Of tennis, Slocum
played in very poor form. He missed several
easy strokes, and was apparently anxious. not
to say worried. Larned, on the other hand.
was putting up strong, even tennis, married
only by recklessness now and then He showed
an unusually strong service, and scored many
points on aces. Slocum could get but one
game in the first set and though improving
somewhat. only three in the second.
In the third Slocum continued to improve,
and played his strongest game Of the match.
Larned dropped off perceptibly, and played
with increased carelessness. Even then it was
difficult for Slocum to win the set. which went
to three all before he was able to pull it. The
fourth opened like the third. and il looked a
little as though the ex-champion might make
the set seven. But it was of no use. Larned
had regained all his best FORM while Slo-
cum began to drop off. The last part of this
set was repetition of the first two and Slocum
was beaten.
Shaw and Chase were expected to give good
exhibition, but Chase won three sets with I'M
expected ease. Shaw is evidently another old
time strong player, whose day has gone by.
