morning. Then, too, Miss Jones' Law
forT' was too much for her opponent, and
every drive that she made at this stroke
was safe. Perhaps. too, the younger player
was little hurried In her work, and little
coaching would have steadied her down.
But her time is coming when she will win
championships without any question.
In each set, with the score 5 love, the
challenger braced up and took a game but
lost again Immediately. Score: 81, 6-1.
There was great enthusiasm in the grand
stand during this match, and as before it
went by sections. but the whole audience
was very generous to the plucky little now
ice who was making such fine effort to
win her spurs, but went into ecstacies as
Miss Jones scored kill
Mixed Doubles
The finals of the mixed doubles were
started this morning at 10. and for the
first set proved one of tine most interesting
of the whole week.
There was little easing off Of strokes for
the weather vessels" and the gentlemen
played the hardest kind of set all up and
down the court.
Both the ladies' were in fine form, and
of a big pendulum BY the hardest Of
Climbing" Bell pulled out the first set
SO, but even his India-rubber frame could
not stand that game, and the champion
took the next two easily 60. 60.
The Consolation
The consolation tournament sprung quite
a number of surprises, chief of which was
the showing made by Trio. Hendricks. He
was drawn with Chapman, and the wise
ones predicted that he would never get out
of the first round. After beating him he
won from the veteran Pedley with ease.
But this morning he capped the climax
when he won, after a bruising match from
3. Rowan, ST, 6-2, 7-5 He was a pretty
Overton, and was not In any shape to play
at all when the finals were called out, and
he lost the place to Daggett.
In the second round there was another
dump for the talent. r. A. Rowan was
likely man for the event, and he would
have made close run if he had beaten his
brother Bruce. But four different times with
five games and vantage against him, Bruce
remarked, well this looks like a
good time to take a brace" and brace he
did in the most astonishing manner, win
ming the match. Daggett was the winner
of the event, but his only fought match was
with Sinsahaugh, who putt up rafting
game and came near taking place in the
finals. He has wonderful drive when in
Notes of the Tournament
One of the inseparable features of tourn-
ament week was Mr.. Acker with his pipe
and racquet. 1t would almost seem as If
he slept in them.
When Bell was making some of his beau
tiful places along the line an enthusiastic
young maiden called out: pretty! Pretty!
Bell that's the man for me-" Lucky 1898
is not Invisible by 4.
One feature of the tournament to which
it owes much of its success was its perfect
management. The public will never know
how much and how hard work 1t took
to keep things running so smoothly till 1t
has q less efficient head than Manager Will
son.
The umpiring, too, was excellent, all the
players taking their share of the unpleas-
ant work. But If there was an important
match in view, Mr. Cosby was pretty sure
TO get call. He sees quick and says what
he sees, and people may be pleased or be
well, any old thing.
In the tournament II seems that there
was hardly enough tournament spirit The
games will do for practice games, but only
a few of the players put on the last pound.
At Newport a few years ago player faint
ed after the second set, but was playing
gain in seven minutes. Nobody wants
the men to faint, but no one should lose
point till he has used his last inch of power
to win it.
A la Kipling
When the weeks last tourney Is over
And the smashes and volleys are done,
When the lobbing and cutting is finished
And the matches and sets are all won;
We shall rest, and-faith we shall need 1t.
Lay off for a week anyway
But at hint of a tournament coming,
Well get the old racquet and play.
The Tennis Ball
AS fitting finale to the brilliant social
side of the tournament just ended, the as
ISOLATION gave It's annual ball in the beau
tiful ballroom of the Hotel Arcadia last
night, and it was the most largely attended
