The morning call., 1893-05-31

But the playing of those who took part
was not at all up TO their usual practice
game. There was little driving" and
great deal Of caution displayed. Taylor
and Tobin, the crack players, were not IN
the games played or the newer aspirants
might have been forced to do bolder work.
In all the games there was great deal OF
very careful, cautious ''vol!eying."
This was the third of the quarterly
tournaments of the club for the hampton
ship in doubles. Besides the cham pionship
of the club two silver cups are to go 20
the winners of three of the tournaments.
The first was won by Field and Allen and
the second by De Long and StetsOn, who
were the victors Of yesterday. Their VIC
tory was won so easily that unless much
stronger opponents come against them at
the next tournament they will be sure OF
their cups and the championship. The
score will show that they won all through
without allowing any of their opponents
in any one set more than three games, eX-
cept when they lost four games twice to
Hobart ard Allen, and then five games to
Collier and g. Whitney in the final set or
the tournament.

deal of applause. His holdness ana

Stetsou, who, with De Long, won the
tournament. did the best back playing by
far Yet with all of them there was too
much caution and fear of defeat to do good
work.
Hobart and Allen, who have always
done good work, played more boldly than
any of the others and did more driving"
and Smashing" but were out Of luck and
probably out of practice.
The games began at 10 o'clock and were
not over until after P. NJ, but all day
long on the clubs grounds and in their
pleasant quarters there was large num-
Der of pretty girls and their escorts. Re-
! freshments were served from noon until

spent. There were present the old chant
pions, Taylor, TObin and Hubbard, and
many of the older tennis players whose
day for the game has passed by. they
all, with the younger tennis players who
were not in the games. made up an audi

tennis is not losing popular favor.
