Press dispatches announce the defeat Of
the American tennis champion, Richard
ID. Wrenn. at the Longwood tournament,
by w A. Larned. The tennis world viii
be inclined 10 look upon the victory as
popular ona. because Larned has been one
OF the foremost players OF the country for
several seasons. and has come very near
winning the singles at the Newport
tournament on several occasions. The
Longwood tournament does not settle the
national championship. but it shows that
Larned will once more be favorite for
championship honors. At the Newport
tournament last year I1arned worked ms
way up TO the finals by winning In
Straight sets, Wnile. Oh the UtieT
Richard u. Wrenn's victories were won
after matches requiring four or even flve
gets. In the semi finals I.arned allowed +.
T. Fischer only four games in three sets.
When Wrenn and Larned came together
for the championship. Larned won the
first GA the second set s-3, and then came
a change. Wreun took the third and
fourth sets. each by a score of o.. and the
fifth. and championship s-3 The loser

points and almost the number of placed
shots credited 10 his opponent. During
the first two sets Larned played an al
most lnyincibie game. and the most ar
dent supporters of WTenn could not have
been tempted TO bet on him. In the face
of defeat Wrenn had played steady. per-
sistent game. and when Larned took a
drop In the third set Wrenn took adyan-
tage of it and forged ahead 10 victory. In
ist2 1854 and 1895 i.arned lost the cham
pionship by suddenly letting up in his
piay. This year his victory over Ntenn
Will give him renewed confidence, and on
the other hand Wrenn Will undoubtedly
work with greater yigor 10 hold the cham
pioDship.
