doubles champions. furnished the sensa-
tion of the first day Of the National
Lawn Tennis Tournament on the Casino
courts yesterday by winning a straight
set victory over Holcombe Ward and Leo
E. Ware. the Eastern champions.
Great credit is due to Collins for his
brilliant work. he making many moro
places than any of the others, without
making more errors. One OF the strong
est factors in the victory was Collins
service. which he won every time
throughout the match. Waidner was
steadier than was expected. and backed
up Collins in excellent shape. Ward and
Ware, on the other hand, did not play
the game shown earlier in the season.

Excepting the third set. when they got
the lead. four games TO one. they did
not exhibit the form displayed at Long
