 Messrs. Ward and Brown returned from
 Atlanta last night bringing the trophy of
 their deserved victory.
 The cup will be played for again next
 year, and should Ward and Brown succeed in winning it again it will be theirs. Although Mir. Ward was last in the con
 test last Saturday, he still has a. chance to win the silver cup that goes to the champion in the singles, as it has to be won twice before it becomes the property of anyone. Mir. Angler, who won from Ward, is about H or 2 years of age A special from Atlanta gives the follow ing account ofc yesterdaq's game: Atlanta, August 13.-(SpeciaL) )-Clarence Angler, Jr., and Sam Williams lost to T. Coleman Ward and Charles Brown in the | South Atlantic States Challenge Champion | ship tennis match this morning This is as near a division of the honors of the great | tournament could be brought about, An l gier having won the championship m sin- 1 gles from Ward on last Saturday. The | score in the singles 10-S 6-3, 5-f 6-3 The championship in doubles today went to the Birmingham cracks by three straight sets, 6-1, 64, 6-1
 Atlanta Was Not in It
 At no time did the Atlantians figure se- riousy today. Neither Williams nor An gier seemed to be edge for the struggle and although Angler did some beautiful smashing and driving in the second set,
 he did not hold the place long enough to worry the other side. Williams was no- where near his usual placing game, while Ward and Brown were both in superb shape and took everything that was con- ing to them.
 One of the greatest crowds of the tour nament saw the match in doubles today. It was scheduled to begin at S3O o'clock, and at that time the crowd on hand prepared to see some magnificent work. Despite the earliness of the hour, there 1 were scores of ladies' in dazzling white | toilets, on hand, and they applauded vo- | ciferuusly until Angler and Williams lost, l and then some one threw a wet blanket 1 over the court.
 Perfect Tea III Play | Ward and Brown put up the most per | feet team play this morning ever seen on
 an Atlanta court. There was a beautiful
 precision and an aparent knowledge of
 what was coming next that kept them
 always in position for whatever happened
 Browns back court play and Wards
 
 be.
 In the first set the Atlantians barely fig uFed but they were superbly confident when they hit the second and started out
 to do business by taking the first game in | good style, the lanky Angler putting some
 hot ones over the net that Ward and Brown l couldn't handle with baseball nit The | next game was Ward and Browns in quick
 time, and the third went to them without | struggle. Then Angler and Williams l braced up and managed to win out four l games of the set. where they stopped, their opponents winning.
 1 By the time the third set had begun there | was a certain lack of confidence in the | Atlanta boys, and at no time did they do | their best work Ward and Brown practi- l caliy had everything their own way, win 1 hing by 6-1 When they won. there was a | moments silence-the silence of disappoint- | rent then the lovers of the game were l generous and hearty in their eongratula- | tions Williams and Angler had fought | hard to win, and their disappointment was
 Keen. stfIl the smiling handshake was given | with will
 l Inc Presentation Immediately after the game the president | of the club, Mir. Burton Smith, presented the cup. The championship in singles and l the Georgia State championship both went | to Angler on Saturday. The cup for dou- | bles was presented to Ward and Brown today. The two latter responded briefly to the compliments of MT. Smith, after which there were calls for Angler and | Williams. They responded, and then it was all over.
