 started on the championship court about il o'clock, and both men were warmly greeted by a typical Newport

 All Mahony's years of experience could not compass the defeat of the young Harvard player, who covered the court in grand style and passed the 1rishman repeatedly by fine drives to the base line and along the sides. Whitman was we'll nigh invincible at the net, where he played most of the time, and his smashing won him many points Mahony's nervousness was con- siderably increased by a number of close decisions, while he complained a number of times of the rough turf and | the stiff breeze that blew down the | court. The match started with Whit man serving, but his errors lost him the first game.
