NEWPORT, Aug. 23.-The third day Of the
national championship tennis tournament was
bad for the ~favorites at the start, Parker and
Hovey being bowled over in rapid succession,
Hobart, Stevens, Sands, and Chace pulled
through without diflculty. Reed and Thomson
were the other ~victors, but no one expects them
TO cut any figure In the fight, as they owe their
chances for the seml-nnals to Parker's careless
ness.
Parker was the first victim. a stocky black
haired youngster named Thomson completely
firing him out and winning In five sets. For
some reason or other Parker was In poor con-
dition and played like q man In the last stages
OF spring fever. Carelessness lost the first set,
and when Parker at last realized that he had
caught a tartar, Thomson was playing with
skill and confidence, doing brilliant work at the
net. Thomson's lobbing was capital, and he had
everything his way toward the end, Parker
being apparently unable to run after the balls.
While this match was being played the cham
pionship court was walled in by excited tennis
cranks, who climbed over each other to get a
view OF the court on which Hovey and Good
body were fighting out the great battle Of the
morning. Hovey was q big f~avorite, as rumor
had II that the Irishman was out OF condition.
Goodbody, however, beat the Bostonian In q
splendid hve-set match. Hovey failed TO
play his dashing net game, perhaps from
overcaution. perhaps because the foreigner was
shooting bal. after ball along the side lines with
an accuracy fatal to any but the liveliest kind
Of net work. The opening set was compare
lively easy t9r Hoyey, as Goodbody failed to
cautious throughout, and played well back 70
