tournament, to decide the champions in
doubles, was played yesterday after
noon on the Lake Park courts, and

pronounced the victory. 1t took five
sets to settle the question as to who
should win, despite the fact that little
poorer tennis has been played during
the entire tournament. 1t vas nearly

Belden aud Wallace, stepped in the
court to face their opponents, Jayne
and Cook, and it was $50 before Belden
returned the last ball out of the court
and lost the match and with it the
championship.
The audience was small and there
was nothing but conscientious desire to
incite the players to good work in this
final event of the tourney. AS they

2-all, and then Belden made two excel

balls into the net, and BeldeE's side
won two games. The next four game s

several brilliant passes, while Belden
returned balls into the net and Wallace
put them out of the court. The former
