STEVENS GREAT PLAY.
Defeats Malcolm Chace I'm the Sor-
wood Tennis Tourney.

The biggest surprise that the tennis
world has received in some time is the
remarkable playing of Richard Stevens,
of Hoboken. in the Norwood Park tour
ney. On Wednesday Stevens fought a
draw with Wrenn and yesterday he de-
feated Malcolm Chace in a. most bril-
liant game. This match was hot from
the start. Stevens had wonderful control
of the ball and covered every inch of
the court. Wrenn had nothing to do
yesterday, as it was drought unfair
to play off the odd set of his postponed
match with Stevens right after the Ho-
boken mans lard fight. and there was
no room for it In the afternoon schedule.
