The interest of the day centered in the
first match that was played-thar between
Moorhead and Pier. This is the fourth time
that these two have met over the net in tour
naments this season, and this had, no doubt,
a good deal to do with the play. Pier
had been beaten in the other matches and
he expected to be beaten in this one.
Therefore he played alosing game. Never
theless II was gamy fight, and when the
conclusion was reached Gt the end of the
second set he Was not SO far behind Moor
head in the number of points made Neither
played at his best. and while both sets were
"deuce' it was not so much due to points
earned as to points lost by misplays. The
fact that the backstop nets were SO close to
the courts made it difficult for the con-
testants to return q ball that had been
lobbed or to stop and return swi drive.
There were some very pretty bits OF vol
leying, however, scattered along over the 2S
games that were played. In the first set it
looked for time as if Moorhead would gain
an easy victory. The games stood at one
have won him the set. bat Pier pulled
ND and won the next two. making the games
five all. Then each won a game and Pier
took the next putting him in the lead, but
there he stopped and Moorhead carried the
next three games and the set. Tue second
set was also deuce set, but in this Pier
got no further than the fifth game. or the
2S games IA we're deuce" games, and the ma
jority OF these were in the second set. A
summary of the two sets is as follows:

CHAMPIONS AT TENNIS
Opening of the Tournament of the
Sewickley Association.
DRAWINGS FOR THE DOUBLES
Moorhead and Pier Meet in the First Round
Fs of the Singles.
GOOD PLAY SEEN BY A LARGE PARTY

i Tennis is now the reigning attraction at
| Sewickley Yesterday afternoon the annual
tournament of the Sewickley Athletic As
sociation opened under the most favorable
circumstances. The weather was about
right; the attendance was large and ap-
preciative and the entry list was just long
enough to assure pleasant week for all the
devotees of the game. The audience was
comp osed mostly of the residents of Sewick-
ley, who take great interest in all that
goes on at the s. A. A grounds. Many of
them were ladies, friends of the partici-
pants, and they were generous enough with
their applause to call out the best efforts of
the contestants
The courts are excellently situated and
the afternoon sun, which shone out fercely
for awhile. was not particularly trouble
some A wind came up about half-past
o'clock and interfered somewhat with those
players who were expert enough to pre-
Judge the strength of their strokes before
the ball was within reach. 1t spoiled sew
eral of those nice ''places" that Moorhead
is distinguished for, and it carried the balls
once or twice outside of the side lines,
when without its interference they would
have counted.
Court Celebrities on the Ground.
There were many familiar faces among
the players E. B. Vail, who has been
away in the East for a month, was there
and he carried his nut-brown color, that
told of an ENJOYABLE outing, with him. s.
w. B. Moorhead had concluded to enter
the singles and was pitted against Arthur
Pier in the first round This was unfortu-
nate for Pier, who deserved to have been
drawn against some other antagonist, and
thus to have been able to meet Moorhead
further along In the match. Fate willed it
otherwise, though, and Pier will next strive
for the consolation prize.
Coster, of the Pittsburg club, was there
but he won his match by default, neither
Thompson nor Whelan, of Altoona, appear
ing, and in consequence did not play.
Christy was in his stamping ground, but
neither Porter nor Woods, who are with
him on the committee of arrangements,
played yesterday. Mr. Woods will not
play at all, being out of practice, owing to
his acquirement of legal lore which is now
in pro!ress. There were also some faces
that are not so familiar, and some of them
may win places further along in the rounds.
The probability is that the finals will be
played between Christy and Moorhead. The
first round has not yet been worked out, but
it IL probable that the semtfnals will be be-
tween Vail and Moorhead, Christy and Cos
ter.

When a conflict gets so fierce that it causes loss of property and even life,it is moving forward swiftly toward it's final peaceable settlement. This is the cOndi- tion of the labor trouble, to day. New York has State troops on the field to pro- tect railroad property from striking switchmen who have been burning freight cars near Buffalo and Tennessee miners have been assaulting State troops who are protecting convicts sent to work in the mines. Violence and, much more, bloodshed are dangerous weapons to handle, but Divine Providence orders the tempest before the calm.

Good News From Home.

Our little boys (''crickets" Jay Hay seed of the Herald called them) wiped the k. c. & B. baseball team out of sight, Saturday, to the tune of eight to three. It was one of the best contests ever seen in Bridgeport. The Newtown boys out-batted, out-flelded and, in gen. eral, out played their opponents at every stage of the game. Game was called at 4 o'clock by Danny Russell, the slugger, who acted in the capacity of umpire and what Danny said was law. Gallagher was the first to face the music and knocked out beauty to right field, which Hartley hung on to, making the first out. He was followed by Kane and Kelly, but they were retired in short order. The second and third innings banned out in the same style, our boys not making run until the fourth inning, when Harry Kane led off and crossed the home plate by neck. In the fifth inning, Gallagher knocked Kelly all to pieces and five runs came in in success sion. The next run was made in the seventh inning and another in the eighth making, in all eight runs, while the best the K. c. X B could do was to pile up three runs. The batteries were Kelly and Gore for the E.C. X B.s and WaiI and Gallagher for the N. Y. B. < F. Co. team. Manager Kane has made arrange ments for the Wheeler and Wilson team to play on the Glen grounds, next weel and everybody in town is expected to De down with l5c. to help the boys along Arrangements are also being made for q game between the Danburys and tht Rubber boys on Labor day at the For esters' picnic.
