were especially favorable for high class
spcrt. This is all the more appreciated
when it is remembered that the past
| two years 1t rained almost continually
during championship week.
The rounds are gradually drawing
TO a close. and in two classes yesterday
semi-fnals were In order. and the large
crowd in attendance saw some decidedly
clever tennis.
Semi Final Singles.
The two sets which drew to the courts
a large attendance. and which Impair
TALLY applauded the many brilliant ex-
the semi finals in singles between Geo.
ghegan and C. r. Wilson and Davidson
and Steel. and the semi finals in men S
doubles.
In the former Geoghegan beat Wilson,
As, 81. and 1t was one of the most
evenly contested sets OF the series. The
first was taken by Wilson and served to
get Geoghegan into his gait, and when
he struck his game his driving was at
all times strong and prevented Wilson
from using his usually strong net play
TO advantage. Davidson beat Steel
straight sets handily. 6-2. 6-2. David
son was in splendid form. and his all
around work showed his oldtime tennis.
The winners of the above sets will
meet r. D. Little. the present holder of
the Southern championship. with which
goes the silver ard gold bowl which
- l.. H.
tomorrow it becomes, his personal prop
erty.
Semi-Final Doubles.
In the doubles Ballinger and White
beat Cutler and Johnson. s-1, GA, and
Davidson and Glazebrook beat Cresson
and Russ. Ga. 6-2. The latter was a
great match, and the score does not tell
how well 1t was played. DR.. Glazebrook
was especially strong in his lobbing. and
1t was feature of the teams work.
Davidson was tuned tlp to great tennis,
and in yesterdays form he could not
have been beaten. The pair showed
great team work. and constantly kept
the others hard on the offensive. The
losers are the visitors from San An
singles and doubles, at times brilliant,
has made them many friends.
Mr.. Paret, in the second round OF the
Consolation. beat Mr.. A. NJ Ageiasto
stILight sets. the first hotly played
deuce set. is. in which both visitors
played fast tennis.
In the mixed doubles Miss Marie Winner
and Mr.. Paret beat Miss Moore and DR..
Glazebrook GA. 6-2 II was between

The handicap singles were started, and

6-I. and 3. r. Johnson tscratch) beat Dr.
Clayton tplus l5) s-4. 6-2.
The entries to this class number forty
odd, and. when the handcaps as given be-
low we're posted there was a great rush
to see how each had Jared. and there
was much chatting and some disaproint
ment at the allowances and penalties.
but. taken altogether, the handicaps are
very fair.
