NEW STARS IN TENNIS SKY
City Tournament Develops Fact that Ysuns
Players Are Fast.
MATCHES IN FIRST ROUND ARE OVER
Last Evenings Play Affords Excellent
sport for Spectators, Who watch
several warmly Con-
tested Matches.

Several keenly contested matches marked
the second day Of the city championship
tennis tournament on the courts Of the
Omaha Field club yesterday evening. AL
though none Of the results can be set
down as surprises, the defeat Of two or
three OF the older hands indicates the rise
Of a sufficient number of new men to
take the place OF those who are being
lost to Omaha tennis from one cause or
another.
In the preliminary round d. Pollard had
an easy victory over J. w. Battin, whose
name has been identified with the game
since the days Of the hrst tournaments in
Omaha. The score of 6-1, 60 hardly does
credit to the loser, for Battin kept the
ball moving we'll and the rallies were long
and holly contested.
The preliminary round Is now concluded
and only two ties remain undecided In the
first round @. II. Young and F. S. LOOMS
are scheduled to play early this evening
and the winner will be pitted against A.
Collett, who had an easy time yesterday
with Frank M. Marsh, another oldtime
devotee Of tennis, who has lately been TAX
ing up with golf.
The other frst-round tie, between Pol
lard and J. w. Hughes, which is down for
tonight, and the match between the win
ner and A. Potter in the second round,
promise to be among the most interesting
Of the early part of the week.
Two best Matches.
Two of the last contests to be settled
yesterday were those between w. Vaughan
and l.. S. Webster and between H.. d.
Alice and c. c. Rosewater. It was un-
fortunate that these two games happened
to get into the two east courts, where the
spectators saw little of what was going on.
Both were we'll fought battles. That In
which Vaughan finally gained a victory
was anybody's match until Webster put
the last ball over the base line. Vaughan
had played q cool and steady game and
worked hard for his success. Allee's VIC
tory, which entities him to meet Sam
Caldwell in the second round, was also
we'll earned.

NJ. Ladouceur beat Luther Kountze by de-
fault.

The change in the date of the interstate
was much talked about on the club grounds
yesterday. Con Young had received a tel
egram from the secretary Of the national
association authorizing the postponement
to the 18th, which was gratifying to the
committee, as finally settling the matter.
A letter from the Sioux City secretary was
also passed around, showing a very cordial
appreciation of the action of the Omaha
committee in making the change and prom
ising as many entries as possible from the
Iowa city. AS already announced, some of
the Omaha players will take part in the
tri-state tournament at Sioux City on Au-
gust ~ and following days.
