GOOD TENNIS PLAYING.
Well Contested Matches at the Dyk-
ington Tournament In Kansas City.

1ngtOn Tournament In Kansas City.
Kansas City, Aug. 31.-Several sur
prises were developed on the second
day of the tennis tournament on the
Darlington courts, and the spectators
were treated to some interesting
matches. Probably the match which
most upset the calculations Of the
knowing ones was that between 0. w.
Vernon of EmpOria and Ed. Carroll of
Lawrence. AS Vernon had defeated DR..
Vaughn. one of the crack players of the
Darlington club on the preceding day
it was thought that he would not only
in the finals These prophesies all went
wrong, however, and Carroll took two
straight sets from Vernon.
The best match of the day, both from
the standpoint of the spectator who
likes to see a hard-fOught battle, and
from the quality of the tennis which
was shown, was that between Arthur
Kane of the Darlington club and Frank
Lauder of the Orinda club. The first
set, which went to Kane by a score of
11-9, was the longest match of the tour
nament. Both men started out in great
form, and they put up a rafting game,
which kept the spectators applauding
all the time. In the other sets, which
were won by Lauder only after he had
fairly worn out his opponent, were full
of excitement. 1t was evident in these
sets that the victory would be due sim
ply to the endurance of the men, and
Lauder proved to be the one who was in
better condition for a long struggle.
The results of yesterdays matches
We're:
Carroll beat Vernon-6-3. 6-3.
