MS Championship in the tournament
being held on the courts of the Bache-
iors Tennis Club on NJ Street near Con
nect1cut Avenue is being gradually mar
rowed down to the finals. In yesterday S
matches in singles several surprises
were sprung on the fairly large attend
ance of the admirers of the sport. The
! first was the defeat of Dr. Glazebrook
at the hands of Mr.. Geoghegan. and
| then Clark's victory over C. r. Wilson.
Geoghegan won 6-1, Ga. and DR..
Glazebrook's defeat is claimed by his
friends to be due either to too much
care or to overconfidence. and the score
in the first set indicates that either
guess may be correct. The winner is
undoubtedly clever tennis player. and
his victory yesterday certainly stamps
him as one of the best here He will
play Mr.. Hills in the semi finals today.
and If he wins this match he will have
lively work to do when he meets C. B.
Doyle, who has shown remarkably fast

tourney.
Wilson's Reversal of Form.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the best court
players in the Bachelors Club and liza
BILE at any time to give the cracks hard
work to win a set, and his reversal of
form yesterday, when he lost to Clark,
was unaccountable. The latter seemed
to be able to smash. lob and cut all
around his opponent, but he had to play
three sets to win, Mr.. Wilson taking the
second 1-6
The doubles were won rather handily
by Doyle and Doyle. who beat Wood
and Dinwiddie 6-3, 6-1, and by David
son and GIazebrook, who won from
White and Rowland 6-1. Ga
1t Is expected that Davidson and
Glazebrook will win the doubles cham
pionship. which honor has gone to them
in the past five annual tournaments.
The preliminary set in the consola-
tions singles was interesting. W B.
Wood was beaten by H. S. Smith 6-1.
Ia, and, as the score indicates, Wood
played a very strong game in the second
set.
