Very Skillful Playing Was Witnessed
 at Both Morning and Afternoon

at Both Morning and Afternoon
 Games.
 LOCKWOOD, Mass, July 19.-The hot weather this morning did not diminish the ardor of the contestants in the tennis tournament in the slightest. Richard Stevens, the expert from HobokeD, N. J., was the first to appear on the courts, closely followed by his opponent of the morning, Willis Lyman who Is the secre- tary of the Harvard Lawn Tennis club.
 Stevens served and the match began. Lyman played good tennis, but he "wasn't in it." Hs hung on to his automatic oppo- nent, however, with plucky tenacity and was not retired until after hard struggle. Stevens took the first two sets at 6 3, 6 3, and the final one at 4 While the pre- vious match was in progress the Yale champions, A. E. Foote and J. T. Talmage, jr., were trying conclusions on the adjacent court. It was rather hard luck that brought these two fellow collegisns together, so early in the tournament, but each man hit the ball as though the other was from liar yard, and it was only after hard work that Talmage won the first set at 6 l.; Foote took the second at 60. An injured hand somewhat interfered with Tslmages play. P. E. Presbrey attracted much attention by his masterful play against Alfred Cod man, but Goldman was too much for him and won in three straight sets.
 About the most skillful play of the morning waa seen in the continuance of the match between Malcolm Chsoe and young Budlong which WAS interrupted last night by rain alter Chace had won two sets. With the odds against him, Bud long started on pluckily and by hard and good work won the first get of to-day, 64 In the second set to-day Chace volleyed 1 well, while his antagonist seemed always to be present, just at the right place. Bud. | Iong's lobbing was unusually accurate and I he took many points in this way. The games alternated with stubborn persist | ency until seven games all was reached. Chaco now braced for all he was worth
 and by winning the next two games tool
 the set, 9-7, and the match. It was earned
 Foots and Talmsge, the Yale men played curious kind of match. Tslmag,
 won the first set easily. and then Foot,
 completely turned the tables, winning thre
 straight.
 l AS the hour for the afternoon play sp
 preached the gathering clouds foreshsdow
 ed the coming storm and doubtless de
 tered many from witnessing the play
 Valentine G. Hall of New York and F. s
 Noon of Boston, formerly of England. wer
 the first pair of gladiators to step into tn
 arena. The dignified Fred s. Mansfiel
 mounted the ladder leading to the umpire perch and seated himself, and the contes
 began. Hall did not make much fuss owe
 his opponent, and the way ths e1-Englist
 man was defeated was altogether too easy
 Hall played all round his antagonist an
 won pretty much ss he pleased in straigh ! sets.
 Richard Stevens had one of his winnin strokes in his afternoon match with Alfre
 Goldman, and so we'll did he play that th
 latter hardly knew where he was at durin ] the ensuing hour. Goldman won but tw i: games in the three sets. Bob Wrenn an IQ. A. Shaw, jr., both Harvard men, had rather interesting battle, but the old ez } pert was no match for his young antagol } ist. Malcolm Chsce had easy work wit } M. Phillips and another three s l match resulted.
