ENTRIES FEW.
Great Disappointment at Newport That
Larned Could Not Play.

Larned Could Not Play.
Newport, R. l., Aug 1.-THE United
States national lawn tennis champion
ships began here this morning with an
entry list of 80. This is small number
compared with previous years, but the
quality is excellent. Hardly a man of any
tennis prominence in the country who has
been playing in tournaments this year has
failed to enter, Great disappointment
was felt when Larned announced that he
should be unable to play for the cham
pionship.
Ever since the Longwood tournament
he has been suffering acutely from rheu-
natism and 1t was this, it is claimed
that caused his defeat by Pell at South
ampton At that time he was hardly able
to move about the court, but after the
port If he got better. At the last moment
business interfered, and he was obliged to
give up.
This was a beautiful day for tennis or
bothered by wind or fog, which are some
times in evidence on these courts. 1t was
apparent by looking at the schedule that
the match of the day would be between
George L. Wrenn, Jr,, and E. p Fischer
These two players had not met this year
and great match was looked for though
1t was considered unfortunate that two
such good players should draw together
on the first day. OF the other matches.
that between Ward and Budlong was
watched with interest.
Budlong played more accurately and
had most of the luck at critical points.
Ward fell off slightly and Budlong took
the set, Ga Ward was never headed in
the fourth set, though Budlong stuck to
him tenaciously With the score So in
his favor, Ward was within one point of
the match before he finally won a we'll
played smash.
In the Wrenn-Fischer match, the first
two >sets were very closely contested, but
not as well played as the succeeding ones.
Wrenn was off his stroke at first but
pulled up later and played very good
tennis. With the sets one, Wrenn went
in to win and took the remaining sets
