| So much has been said concerning the
relative merits of the players In these
clubs that people interested in tennis have
been anxious to see game in which the

show what skill they possessed.
A game was finally arranged and the
time fixed as Wednesday afternoon at 4
O'Clock. Wilmore A. Winston and George
| e. McGunagle were selected to represent
the John stret players, while Charles
Dexter and Charles Sibley were expected
to play for the High street club.
Winston and McGunagle were on hand
at the time appointed as waSralso Dexter.
As Dexter's partner had not arrived, the
two first named stretched their net and
began practice game to fill In the wait
ing time. Dexter was spectator.
After awhile Sibley appeared, and after
he had viewed the play of the John street
pair for a little while he consulted with
Dexter and they decided that they would
not play just then, but would postpone
the game until later date.
The John street players and their friends
are now claiming that the High street
