American pairs, r. d. and @. L. Wrenn,
and won the eastern championship for
doubles In three sets to one. For two sets
the Wrenns, by keeping the ball high In
the air, seemed to have a trife the better
of the play. but the Englishmen, resorting
to the same tactics, beat them out. The
score was 48, 10, So, 6-2.

nm Shows HIS Form.

The second set opened with a game to
each, both losing their services. The third
game reached deuce four times, finally fall
ing to Hill. Then Young made 1t two-all.
BY this time Hill was showing his best
form and had Young apparently rather
demoralized. In the six games which fol-
lowed the score Of two-all Young put ff-
teen balls out Of court and drove hve into
the net. Hill put eleven into the net and
six out Of court. Two or three times a
ball which was needed to give Young a
game went a few inches too far and the
score reached ive-all. The contest was
a very even one. Both men we're playing
the same kind Of a game, returning the
balls straight across the center OF the net
to where they came from, and for a time
there was little Uf supreme EoTit & the
strokes Of either Of them. Young, however,
braced up at this point and took the next
two games, with only two misplays, and
the set.
Before starting the third set the players
took a rest of several minutes and when
they returned to the court they were both
much fresher and their play was OF a de-
cidedly more spirited character. Hill took
the first game to love, the fourth to is,
the seventh to love and the eighth to 80.
Young captured the other six-to love, to
deuce once, to love, to deuce twice, TO
deuce once and to 80. In this set Young
won by skillful placing, some of his cross
court plays being especially brilliant.
There were thirteen balls which Hill wal
unable to return at all, while Hill only
sent three balls which Young failed to
reach.
Analysis of the Play.
Taken as a whole the match was fairly
contested and though beaten, Hill made O
good fight, capturing a total of SO points out
OF the 200 played.
Here is a summary of the manner In
which the points were lost:

FOR A BIC TENNIS TOURNEY
Field Club Has It's Plans All Well in

DELAY IN STARTING A REAL ADVANTAGE
Committee in Charge Confidently
Looks for n Large Entry ana
Has a Magnificent List of
Prizes for

A weeks postponement OK It's Interstate
Tennis tournament has proven a great
boon to the Omaha Field club. While the
committee had all preparatory arrange
ments at such a tension that things would
have been ready and shipshape to the dot
on August IL, the day at first set for the
beginning, yet those seven days between
then and August IS mean, It is considered,
a great deal to the affair. In the scope
OF that one week are held the probabili-
ties and in some cases certainties OF larger
entry lists, better entertainment, hand
somer prizes, and therefore OF a tourna-
ment a little Improved all around.
In connection with the dispensation OF
the national association, allowing the
change of date, has come to light another
matter Of interest. The tournament here
has been extensively advertised by the
Field club as being for the championship
Of Nebraska, Iowa. Kansas and Missouri.
The question has arisen as TO whether or
not this definite description Of the pur-
view Of the tournament need necessarily
obtain rigidly. The question was put TO
the national association, and It has re-
sponded that such details are entirely in
the hands and at the will Of the tennis
committee in charge Of the tournament
The committee can do just at It will, can
admit anybody from anywhere, no matter
how 1t has advertised the event.

One Of the most notable features OF the
tournament has been the splendid condition
Of the courts. Groundsman Gibson has
taken a decided pride in having them in

He has dragged" them and rolled them
and marked them with, great diligence and
courts could hardly have looked finer or
played truer than did the courts on which
yesterdays final matches we're decided.

Let's talk about something else. In
passing do not overlook the point that
Parke Wilson paid Omaha the very high
compliment Of not trying any OF his Mosk-
imans or McCloskeys or Lempkes against
Omaha. He stuck to old-time tried and
nre-tested Pop Eyler, who has won
every game he has pitched against Omaha
for three seasons, and Whiteridge, who is
also as good as they make EN-. This is
an honor not often accorded a visiting
team in Denver. Another comforting
feature Of the disaster is the fact that all
the Denver papers praised the playing Of
the Omaha team, especially for its fielding.
That series Of four games will bong be re-
membered by the Queen City fans as the
finest exhibition Of the real thing in base
ball they have ever seen. Omaha will not
have to encounter that mountain hoodoo
again for a month, and II that months
playing is as propltious as was the last,
the Rourkes will be safe and needn't
worry.

Kansas City has shown the effects Of
the changes in the team during the last
week, losing to st. Joseph by small mar
gins in closely contested games. Charlie
Nichols has secured q couple more men
for his team, an innelder and an out
fielder. and when Rabbit" Robinson gets
back into playing form the Meaningless
are going to make a strong bid for a higher
place. st. Joseph is still putting up the
in and out article OF ball that has marked
its career during three seasons. At times
the team takes a squirt and plays like a
bunch Of winners, and then 1t slumps and
puts up a miserable game for a few days.
For this reason 1t is not likely to get very
much higher in the percentage column than
It Is. Milwaukee has taken on strength,
both in batting and fielding, and IL DUFFY

their hands and not with their mouths, he

lower.

Charlie Nichols couldn't resist the
temptation. and has accepted Dale Gears
challenge to play a post-eeason series Of
games to decide which OF the Kansas City
teams Is the better. This action on the
part OF Nichols is TO be regretted for many
reasons. 1t will settle nothing. and Will
only increase the number Of partisans, while
much doubt exists as to whether It will be
3 financial success. Post-season games
rarely are, and have generally been aban-
uoned. Five months OF closely following
the fortunes Of the homo team is long
enough for the average fan. and when the
last schedule game is played on he Is
usually willing to quit. and doesn't care to
be dragged into a controversy concerning
which he cares but little. Nichols will lose
but little II the proposed series with the

Organized ball" as II is fondly referred
TO. has received a very severe Jolt during
the last few weeks in the conduct Of Man
ager Frank Of Memphis. Frank signed
st. Vrain, the Washington league pitcher,
tried by the Chicago Nationals and set
adrift. Seattle claimed St. vrain and the
National Board of Arbitration ordered him
to return there. ST. Vrain stuck to Mem
phis, and Manager FRANK continued to
play him. Franks league fined him 800
and ordered him to release st. Vrain.
Frank ignored the order and the fine. Next
steps were taken to expeI the Memphis
club from the Southern league. Frank
then got ar Injunction to prevent this
action and the whole matter went into
court. Just about the time the hearing
was to come off the matter was adjusted.
Frank still holds his franchise and st.
Vrain. Just where organized ball"
comes in in THE case isn't apparent on
the surface. 1t looks more like disor-
ganiEed ball.
