The second day of the intercollegiate
tennis tournament on the grounds OF the
New Haven Lawn club was rather dark
and gloomy. Those who gathered to see
the games, both in the morning and even
ing, were wrapped from head to foot in
macktntoshes and heavy overcoats, while
the greater part of the lady contingent
took up their positions on the verandah OF
the club house and watched the games
from that point of vantage. There was
quite large number of people present,
Notwithstanding the threatening weather.
and they saw some good tennis. The best
players were brought together yesterday
as the poorer men dropped out the day be-
fore.
The first game in the morning was be-
tween @. E. Budlong of Brown and W. H.
Milne of Amherst. Budlong had to WORK
pretty hard to take the first set, as Milne
played fine tennis. Budlong easily TOOK
| the second set and thus won the mateh
| score rs, 60. J. Rowland of Yale had an
easy time with +. A. Flichtner of Amherst,
| defeating him 81, 63. Rowland put up
| the best game he has during the tourna-
ment. Malcolm Chacs then defeated u. W.
Chandler of Columbia, 6 3, 90. This game
| brought the tournament down through the
second round.
| The play in doubles began in the morn.
inc. Rowland and Foote of Yale defeated
the Mccormick brothers of Princeton, A.
81, in an interesting game. Foote'S play,
ing was exceptionally fine. Chase AND
Read of Harvard defeated Fowler and
Terry of Yale, 81, 63, and Chace and
Budlong Of Brown defe. + . Milne ano
| In the afternoon Chase and Read of Har
| ward played most exciting game agains
Chace and Budlong of Brown. Chace ane
Budlopg won, 6-5, IS, 60. The mattel
abounded in exciting and spirited plays
the short cuts of Budlong being both effec
tive and skillfuuy executed. Chandler ant
White of Columbia beat Gosline ant
Wrenn of Harvard, 6 2, 6 3. There wer
no special features in the game. White
handling of the racquet was noted by sew
eral. He has a peculiar swift understrok
| which he executes very skillfully. On
| gentleman observed that Hobart of tn
National association was the only one VIII
could exsel him in this stroke.
The last game Of the day was between
Rowland and Foote of Yale, and Chandle
| ard White of Columbia. Rowland ant
Foote won, 10 s, 7 g. The game was rathe
desultory until the very last part whel

to the ladies and gentlemen present at tn
club house. To day the fuals in til
doubles, the semi finals and final
in the singles will be played. Bud
long will meet Foote and Rowland
Chace in the semi finals. Chace and Bud
long will meet Rowland and Foote in tn
doubles. The championship games will b
played Friday, although the tournament
proper will probably close this afternoon
Owing to the fact that most of the mel
wish to get home as soon as possible, i
was decided yesterday morning not to hav
the usual consolation prizes this year.
Yale's chances of winning the tourDs
ment appear to be rather slim. Her sol
hope is that Foote can defeat Budlopg.
Yale Is defeated in the doubles the tw
Brown teams will meet in the finals.
