HALL BEATS LARNED IN MIDDLE STATES
TOURNAMENT.

Orange. n. j. July (SpeciaD.-The Middle States
championship lawn tennis tournament was con-
tinued at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club grounds
this afternoon, and the bright weather brought
out good sized crowd OF enthusiasts to see the
matches.
The feature OF the day was the victory of E. L
Hall over w \. Larned in the first round of the
championship singles. Larned was thought 20 be
almost invincihle this spring, for he had shown
all Of his old time skill In early practice. and the
chief interest centred in his expected final match
against Davis He met his Waterloo this afternoon
at the hands OF the veteran crack who made his
appearance in tournament play three weeks ago.
when he won the New-Jersey State championship.
As IN all OF his other close matches this sea
son. Hall began badly, He lost the first by

his increased speed kept Larned constantly on the
run Hall finally pulled out the second set after
Larued had been within game OF II at 5-4 In
the third Halls play became still more ag-
gressive In the lead he held the advantage up
to 50. Then Larned made one last effort 10 turn

games, came within a stroke OF tying the score
at 5-al. Hall was too steady for him however.

Cincinnati, July (SpeciaD-The Tammany Hall
aggregation travelling through the country labelled
"New-York Baseball Club" is making a pretty
mess of it on its present tour of the West. The
general opinion seems to be that the players had
better join the rest of the Croker brigade down At
Kansas City and play ball in the dump there
during the remainder of the summer. Tammany's
baseball representatives lost their eleventh straight
game to-day, and If somebody is not careful this
wonderful team may get back to Harlem with the
gic figures of l6 to l their record the West
ern trip Then Freedman will fine the players the
salary that is coming to them for the remainder of
the season and give orders that every sporting
writer in New-YOrk who refuses to be buldOzed
shall be excluded from the Polo Grounds.
The Cincinnati team tried It's hardest to-day TO
become demoralized and allow the poor players
from Harlem to win 4 game but they could not do
IA, try they would. With the OF 10 / in
their favor the New-YOrk cast offs went up into
the air in the sixth inning, and before they
back TO earth the PorkopOitans had scored eight
and won the game. Mercer ana Gleason were
