Crowd Rooted for Huntington.

This gave Huntington the lead on games
at 81, and the crowd rooted an upset
and an English defeat Their jubilation
was short lived, for Doherty took the next
game at love and the following after the
points had once gone to deuce. Huntington
made a strong stand in the ninth game, in
which he was very steady in the rallies.
He took the game, but lost the set at 6-4.
In the next set the Englishmans steadf-
ness took the first and second games, as his
returns were either good for passes or
were cleverly placed that the ball cut
the side lines of Huntington's court Do
herty went to the front rapidly and led at
AZ the games. AT this juncture Hunt
ington put on an extra squirt and by sheer
force of his drives captured the seventh
and eighth games, tieing the score at
games all. In the ninth game the points
went to deuce, and once Huntington was
within a stroke of taking it. He was un-
equal to the task of defeating the cool
headed English player however, and lost
the game and the set as before at Cd. The
score, by points in games follows:

CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME AT

Morning Play.
BIG TENNIS TOURNEY

SOUTHAMPTON, L. l., August 13.-Good
weather conditions prevailed today for the
second days play in the lawn tennis tour
nament for the Long Island championship.
The match of the morning which attracted
the greatest interest was that between the
former English champion, r. F. Doherty,
and Bob Huntington, the western player,
in the semi-tinal round of the championship
singles.
At the last moment Malcolm D. Whitman
defaulted in the singles and George After
bury moved up to meet H. l.. Doherty, the
present champion of all England.
The committee planned to start the mems
championship doubles this morning. VIM.
A. Larned and Malcolm d. Whitman are
paired, and will probably meet the Doherty
brothers on their way through the field.
The consolation was also put under way
this morning, and the mixed doubles, in
which many of the society women are play
ing We're continued

Conditions All Auspicious.

The fine weather and perfect condition Of
the courts greatly added to the splendid
work of the players. AS the Doherty
brothers were to play, all of the tennis fol-
lowing was on hand early. The matches
were for the remaining places in the semi
final round and developed the most exciting
sport yet witnessed in the progress of the
meeting.
AS was expected, both of the Dohertys
won their brackets in the semi-final round
of the championship singles, r. +. Doherty
winning from Bob Huntington In two sets
by close score, while II. l.. Doherty de-
feated George Atterbury with the greatest
ease. The result brings r. F. Doherty and
William A Larned together in the top half
of the semi-f1nals, and the prospect Of tlts
match is creating much interest, as il is
hoped that the American champion will be
able to redeem himself from the defeat he
suffered last week at the international
meeting.
On the lower brackets are DR.. Joshua
PIN and H. L. Doherty. The experts hope
that Larned will be able to come through
to the finals as to meet the English
champion here.
Bob Huntington took the service in the
opening game. He was playing in the best
putting some pretty iobbs over the Briton's
head that landed just inside the base line
of the court. The Englishman, however,
gave the veteran American a taste of his
ability at passing, and in this manner gain
ed the second and third games. Then Hunt
ington began his successful lobbing again,
and as Doherty was weak his overhead
strokes the fifth and sixth games went TO
the American player in rather easy fashion.

The ever increasing popularity of P. N
corsets is due to the tact that their many
good qualities appeal to ladies. In the
first place, all the steels used in their
manufacture are guaranteed against
rust, which absolutely prevents the soiing
of garments from rust. They are made in
all up to date styles and OF the best ma
terial and workmanship, OF the latest dip
and with the stocking supporter attach
ment, and at popular prices. From the
fact that they give the figure the form so
much desired they are aptly termed
Figure Builders" Ladies who desire a
corset at popular prices and who like the
military figure, would do well to try them.
