B. H. Smith In two straight sets, allowing

mails, to be played today, and the winner
plays Charles A. Adams of Arlington for
the state championship, probably tomor-
row.
In the first match in doubles, F. C.Smith
and Newton won from c. G.. Dubois and
Kimball in a surprisingly One-sided
match, the latter pair only getting four
games. Newton's returns were careful
and accurate, and Smith made some good
plays at the net. Later in the afternoon
Leeds and Chandler played against Smith
and Newton and won as many games from
them as Kimball and Dubois had won in
their match. Leeds served remarkable
last game. Charles A. Adams OF Airing
ton and Theodore E. Wells Of Middlebury
had little difficulty with Lamson and Nc
Call. In the finals, Adams and'Wells will
be pitted against Newton and Smith to-
day. This will decide the championship
as Adams and Deming, last years cham
pions, have defaulted.
There has been quite q gathering OF
spectators each day to witness the differ
emit matches.
There are about the same number of en-
tries as usual, but the local management
had reason to expect more, many having
made promises to come.
The tournament will probably close to-
morrow with the championship in sim
giles. A business meeting for the election
of officers is yet to be held.
Following is the score up to this morn
