Wright and Holcombe Ward were the winners
OF the day Both matches were taken In
straight sets.

fair sized crowd In attendance. Both
matches were started simultaneously, with
Beals Wright opposed to R. NJ. Carleton
and Irving Wright facing Holcombe Ward.
carleton was bit outclassed by Beals Wright
play ending while the other pair were still
hard at 1t. In his work yesterday Beals
Wright impressed the onookers as n likely
winner of first honors again this year.
The Ward-lrving Wright contest was
very pretty match. Astounding In long rallies
and well placed drives. Wards twist service
which has proved 80 disconcerting to most
opponents was met with clever returns from
Wright. Steady. persistent work by Ward
won the match. To-day Beals Wright will
meet R. d. Little, the old Princeton expert.
