THE WIND-UP OF THE FIXTURE.

Prize in the Doubles.
THE ENTRIES FOR KIsKIMlNETAS' MEET

Tom Ewing is again the winner of the
Pittsburg Tennis Club singles, this time
over s. W. B. Moorhead, to whom he owed
H-15 as handicap. The finals came over
from Saturday to yesterday afternoon and
were decided in three sets The benches
were filled with an interested audience, the
majority OF which was composed of ladies,
who, as on Saturday, were generous with
their applause. The match started out very
much as if Moorhead was to be the winner
and throughout the first set he played as
good game as he has ever played.
He got every ball that came over the net
and sent it back with fierceness and dis
play of judgment that if carried through to
the end would have won him the prize.
Some of his drives and volleys at the net
bing was was ineffective. inc ae took the net by
score of 6-3, but in the second and third sets
he played with neither the dash nor the vim
that had characterized every game OF the
first
Ewing Changes His Tactics.
In these Ewing changed his tactics
slightly and got down to the net, where
he played as good a game as he
did at the base line. As usual he
played with his head as well as his hand,
and in rapid volleytng proved himself equal
to every occasion that came along. In the
last two sets Moorbead got but 80 points,
while Ewing made II.
Moorhead sent 2i balls out of court and
Ewing only II, and the latter netted IS to
Moorheads %. Mo6rhead had four double
faults in these games to Ewing's one. These
figures speak for themselves.
The next time these champions come TO-
gether will probably be at Sewickley next
week, where Christy may take a streak OF
his particular style of good play and aston
ish the enthusiasts.
The wind-Up OF the Doubles.
The only match of the semi-fnals that re-
manned to he played yesterday was that be-
tween Messrs. Callow ana Murray and Barr
and Ewing. In this the latter pair gave the
former Is, and while both sets were close
they won S-6, 64. Both sets were interesting,
but neither Mr.. Callow nor Mr.. Murray were
ponents and their drives out Of court lost
them the chance to play in the finals.
Messrs. Pier and Edwards and Ewing and
Barr came together in the doubles final,
on. The pairs played even, but at the end
of the first set, which stood 60 in favor OF
Ewing and Barr, 1t looked as II there ought
to have been q handicap. However, in the
selves together and from that time on
played brilliant game. They won the Sec
ond set 7-5 lost the third set, which at ono
time seemed to be theirs, 81, and succumbed
in the fourth set by a score OF 6-3.
The tournament all through was the most
enjoyable the club has had. The members
seemed to take greater interest in the
play than in some of the Journeys where all
of the players have started even. and there
is a strong probability that this is not the
last handicap t1,a tourney that hat the CLUB VIII VII
