Results In the Middle states CHI np,on.hip
Tournament.


The third days play in tho Middle States
championship lawn tennis tournament at
Orange yesterday afternoon was notable chiefly
for tho defeat Of Mnlctt, who won tho metro
politan championship only a week ago. Millett
played with poor judgment and less skill, his
drives being too frequently wild and slow when
they did reach the court, while his lobbing was
ill-judgcd, for Whitman smashed with remark
able accuracy. Tho Harvard man took the
first SGT very easily and kept in the lead through
out tho second, finally winning in two straight
sets.
Larncd disposed of young Ward of Harvard,
and Stevens easily put George Miles OF Orange
ont of the hunt. Miles made n better fight than
the score shows. while Wards second set against
Larned was. very .crcditable to tho defeated
tarnsi plays Whitman and stevens meets Parot.
Both ARE 'X niiI 90 to 9sW win i Gmd the f hp"l L messa
and Stevens each hold two ",legs" on tho big
Middle. states cup, and a third victory, for either
viii rum the other chances OF ever winning Inc
although 1t was ANNOUNCED yesterday that Clar-
ence Hobart would positively defend his claim
Much Sfisappolntment, was expressed yester-
day by tho failure OF Champion Bob Wrenn to
entered with Lnrncd, but at tho, last, moment
yesterday stevens was substituted IN his place,
and the famous basc'line player will mako his
first appearance in doubles for many years.
