Yesterdays Play

4CoLCA0ay . = 10y
Play started yesterday before good
crowd. Miss Georgina Jones against Mrs.
Seymour was the first match. Miss Jones
was much steadier than the day before
ans drove beautifully, winning the first
Set In the second set Miss Jones had the
score SO, when Mrs. Seymour took fine
brace, bringing 1t up to 60, but then lost
to her younger opponent. Mrs. Seymour
had a strong cut serve which would be
killing on grass, but does not take hold OF
the cement.
At $3.50 Bumiler and Welcome played
against Overton and b. Rowan. winning
out rs, Ga. Welcome was driving well
and Bumiller's cross-court play was too
fast for the boys.
Chapman and Cosby lost to Bell and
Brady Ga, 6-1. 1t was good tennis. At
one time the score stood 4-3 for Chapman.
The latter was in excellent form and has
championship timber in him II he will
work. His serve is terrific. his drive is
good and his play heady.
Bell and Brady went right on playing,
takingkthe wind out Of Hendricks and Sim
sabaugh g.. 6-1.
| At 2 o'clock the nnal in the ladies' single
was called up and Miss Sutton earned the
honor to challenge by beating Miss Geor-
gina Jones 60. g. Miss Sutton is the only
girl In the tournament who plays the
volley to any extent, but she won several
games at the net. Her usual play is that
long low drive placed well back and near
the lines. In the sixth game Of the first
set she smashed one down in a way to
make Freeman envious. Miss Jones did
some pretty driving. too. but the points
wouldn't go her way
The talent Is having hard matter de-
Gliding whether she will be able to wrest the
crown from Miss Marion Jones on Sat
urday. But the latter is favorite. Both
play the same free game. but the cham
pion's long experience and steadiness will
stand her In good stead In hard fought
match.

At p. m. Bumiller and Welcome put
It over Way and r.. A. Rowan 6-1, 81. But
the score does not at all show the ex-
cellence of the play. Rowan played his
usual hard. earnest game, but Way was
of his form. driving out and into the net.
Welcome showed his best form during the
tournament and Bumiller killed point after
point at a stroke.
At 3:5 Hendricks and Mrs. Hendricks
went down before Bell and Miss Sterling,
score 6-2, 6-2. Bell covered all the spare
forty feet in every direction but down, and

Miss Marion Jones as a partner to beat

DELAYED MAIL
Why Letters and Papers Fail to Reach
You

The postoffice officials are the recipients
Of a great many complaints from people
who have gone to the beach resorts for a
short time and have ordered mail forward
ed. By a recent ruling of the department
papers, periodicals and all second, third
and fourth class matter must be held until
postage is prepaid. Attention to thiE i'm
portant item will save a strain on the Chris
tan virtues of the persons who are watt
ing for their magazines and papers and an
immense amount Of work to the postoff,ce
employees.
Another cause Of annoyance to both post
master and patrons arises in this way:
John Smith sends In notice: please

from - to -" no names of the latter
being given. If letters are always adj
dressed to Mrs. John Smith they reach her
all right, but II some of her friends ad-
dress her in her own name 1t Is different.
A few days or weeks pass; the members Of
the Smith family fail to receive their mail,
John excepted. The clerks In the office
cannot keep the run Of the individual
names In the various broods Of Smiths IN
the city and naturally letters fail to reach
them.
Mr.. Smith suddenly stalks into the assist
ants office some day in towering rage
and demands an interview with the post
master. Gen. Mathews presents himself
at the little fence that shuts out irate citi-
zens and then the show begins. The air
gets sulphurous. Smith bowls and stamps
and swears at the postmaster the clerks.

Stafec government No amount of arnyi-
ment will convince him until he Is con-
fronted with the original order over hts

to disappointment. Picher had a bruising
race yesterday. His fve-set match with
Bell took forty-eight games to win and
each game cost more energy than some
whole sets. 1t was no wonder that the
challenger felt sore and stiff this morn
ing and in no condition to make another
still harder fight for the championship
When, early in the day, he announced that
he could not go on, there was feeling OF
intense disappointment and no little dis
satisfaction, for many friends Of the play
ers were expected down expressly for the
match. There was meeting Of the execu-
tive committee in the padded chamber Of
the Casino, and as a majority voted that 1t
was better to have good match today than
the poor excuse for one which MT. Pitcher
insisted was all he could offer yesterday,
IT was decided to postpone. The big event,
therefore, will come OF today at 2:3O and
will be a still hotter fight than 1t could
have been yesterday. In justice to the
challenger 1t should be said that he con-
scented to come on II the management in
sisted. but in the interest OF good sport
urged the deferment.
There Is another man who was much in
k6r68teQ
that was Freeman. He knows that he
himself Is not up to his usual form and
felt that Picher's Disagreement would Just

was putting further away the prospect Of

pleasant games for fun, where Cupid Is
umpire and scorer and chief player al
most; and where nobody cares whether
the score ever gets beyond love-and 1t
generally don't. But games played to win
under the present rulings, where the play
ers are mixed. are almost too mixed. AS the
freshman said of the cocktail, he would
rather take his "tay and his limonade and
his whisky wan by wan"
There are three classes of play in the
mixed doubles-the gallant, the normal
and the piggsh, and in a hard played
tournament there is a strong leaning to
pork.
1t Is easily evident to the veriest tyro
that the man who is playing to win at any
price-and really no game should be played
before the public with a different motif
can make 1t very interesting for the lady
In the case II he chooses In some sets
the lady player hardly makes a stroke
except at her receive and the game re-
solves itself into singles thirty-six feet
wide, instead of the usual twenty-seven
feet, and around post. The man plays a
sort Of half net game smashing down
everything to the lady opposite and gath
ering in the lions or the other beasts
share. of all the strokes. In the game as
1t is thus played there is no team work
and not very much of anything else and the
mixed doubles are a small addition to the
tournament.
This morning the finals in the mems
doubles will be played and the mixed
doubles will be continued on the upper court
and all day the consolation singles will
be running along as fast as possible.
Tomorrow the championship in doubles,
which will probably pit Bell and Braly
