There was one other contest played
on the P. T. c. courts during the early
part of the afternoon. This was the
completion of the unfinished set be
tween S. G. Wilder Of the ?. T.. c.
and Chas. Atherton Of the B. T. c.
AS was stated yesterday morning, the
set stopped on the day before with the
games 10 all. Upon being played off
it was found that both the players
were in the same frame Of mind as
they were on the previous day and II
was not until the games were 16 al
that Wilder took an extra brace and
finished the contest by winning two
games straight. This gave him the
set bv the extraordinary score Of 1916.
Such a score has never been reached
by any two players on the Islands be
fore. That there was great determine
ton on both sides to do or die. goes
without saying. When the set was
finished the players were about ready
to drop. Both played a remarkably
steady game.
Wight and Roth of the Pacific Jun
iors played a very swift game and one
that very few of the grown players
of the city have been able to catch %
with. Wight won the first set after 2
very warm contest during which there
were frequent rallies and swift drives.
Roth jumped into the second set and
pulled it out by sheer persistence and
steady playing. It was evident that
Wight was getting little winded but
he stuck by the ship bravely The
last set was the most interesting Of
the three. The score stood 4 all when
Roth got in and finished matters.
Beretania Courts-E. A. Mott-Smith,
B. T. c., VS.. Arthur Macintosh, Valley
Club. won by Mott Smith with a score
of 6-1, 60; Chas. Berger, P. 4. G.
Junior, VS.. Donald Ross, B. T. c., won
bv Ross with score Of 6-3, 81; .. H.
