After delay on account of rain and wet
courts the Southern championship lawn
tennis tournament was continued yester-
day on the court Of the Bachelors Tennis
Club. Rapid progress was made and the
five courts of the club were kept in con-
stant use all day long. In the mems sin
gle, the sensation of the day was the de-
feat Of John c. Davidson. of Washington,
the best of the Southern experts and the
former holder of the championship title
in the easiest kind of fashion by F. B.
Alexander of Princeton. The young Tiger
has certainly improved since last season,
but the soggy courts prevented Davidson
from showing his customary speed.
Miss Mariona Jones and Miss Bessie
Moore, both former champions of Amer
lea, made their first appearance of the
season and they are expected TO meet on
Saturday in the final round for the wo-
mans singles as well as the final of mixed
doubles. The final of mems singles is ex-
pected to take place tomorrow and the
challenge between the winner and J. j.
Paret. the present Southern champion, on
Monday. Alexander had to return to
Princeton today for examinations so he
defaulted TO his clubmate Little, in the
singles and it is now foregone conciu-
sion that Little viii meet Paret for the
challenge cup. The scores:
