THE ALL-COMERS CHAMPIONSHIP.
NEWPORT FILLING Up WITH TENNIS MEN TO
WITNESS THE BATTLE OF wRENN
AND HARMED

Newport, r. L. Aug % (SpeciaD-Newport Is
filling up with prominent tennis men. who are here
TO witness the final match between Wrenn ana
Larned In the A-comers' Tennis Championship
tomorrow. Tonight at the Casino where most OF
the players gather, the general opinion seemed to
be that Larned would win. although Wrenns mag
nihcent exhibition against Neel yesterday has
raised the ex-champions stock considerably. and
should Larned show any Of that erratic play which
has always been the most disappointing feature OF
his game. II is probable that Wrenn VIII carry
everything before him. The two men have already
met twice this season. both OF which occasions
Larned defeated the ex-champion in a way that
left doubt Of his superiority. As these victories
occurred less than two weeks ago In the Norwood
Park tournament. betting men are fighting shy OF
the Wrenn end of the contest Larned has had the
advantage of unusually fortunate draw In the
tournament. and has reached the finals with
scarcely a formidable to overcome, while
Wrenn has had TO fight for almost every victory
To-day Larned appeared In excellent condition,
while Wrenn showed the result of yesterdays long
struggle against Nee very plainly. 1t Is expected
however. that the complete rest to-day will put him
In shape for the match.
This is the second time that Wrenn has reached
the finals at Newport his first success being In
1898. when. after a brilliant victory over Hovey. he
won the championship from o. S. Campbell b. de-
fault. The following year Wrenn managed to de-
fend his title against Goodbody the Irish crack be
ICre Whom all the Otner American players had sue
cumbed, but last season he defeated by his old
rival. Hovey who now holds the championship
Should Wrenn finally triumph this week 1t would
make his third victory. and give him the American
Cup to keep as his permanent property
Larned has reached tho semi-hnals four times
but has never succeeded in forcing his way beyond
them, although in several instances. and notably
that of last year. 1t seemed though nothing
could stop his rush
afoat tonight to the effect that
Hovey might default his championship to the
winner Of to-morrow's match. but the most con-
servative tennis men put little faith in it, What
gives the story some weight is the fact that HOvey
has strained MS arm in practice lately. and may
not be In condition to play. A prominent member
Of the Longwood Tennis Club. to which Hovey be-
longs. declared however that he would undoubt-
eddy defend his championship. Before the Long
wood tournament last month Hovey Is quoted
saying that If he should win the Longwood Cup he
would not play at Newport but Wrenn finally
defeated him for that trophy. he has apparently
every incentive TO recover his lost prestige by ap
pearing here. Neither Wrenn nor Larned seemed
TO think there was any doubt that he would play.
Hovey himself is out OF town. and IL is not likely
there will be definite decision until some time to-
